Playing against stacks is the worst!

it genuinely horrible playing against premade teams !

realistically is there a way this can actually be fixed? solo queuing for starters, people don’t join voice, there is literally no communication. there is a bajillion times less synergy than the stack is able to achieve

/ its not a problem in like quick play/arcade, you’re meant to play with friends whhoopdedooo but in COMP, why can an entire team of solos be paired against 4/5 stacks ! LET THEIR QUEUE TIMES BE LONG ! allow them to only play against teams with at least a duo or a trio !

Yeah it’s annoying! And totally unfair. MM strikes again with how bad it is.

If you are solo queue, you will not be playing 5 stacks.

You MIGHT, play against a 4. But only because your team is you and a 4 stack.

You will quite often play as a solo with 2 duos against a solo and 2 duos.

This isn’t a game system problem. People just don’t want to communicate as much any more. Synergies drop and that’s the match over.

There is no communication in QP or Comp. WTF is this crap? I also go against stacks with masters in them. Game is terrible.

I disagree. Playing with stacks is far worse than playing against them.

I don’t mind it, big stacks usually get paired to go against teams that are way better than them. I constantly defeat stacks in comp, they don’t typically play at the same level as the solo players.

true ! getting paired with a 4 stack as a solo should be illegal

As you can’t see, you can’t be sure of that.

So likely hood is you played as 5 solos vs 1 solo and 2 duos.

Slight overreaction…

I should’ve mentioned it but I actually am sure of it. I got paired with them one game and then played against them twice lol.

Might be the biggest coincidence ever but I really doubt it

11

so you matched against 2 duos twice.

Can happen. Game finishes, everyone presses to queue at about the same time, if your still in the same MMR window, there is a high chance you are going to end up together again.

12

It’s not. A lot of games outright ban it because of how absolutely awful the experience is.

13

alright then I guess the same 4 people on being on the same team multiple games in a row is just two duo’s stacking, coincidentally getting onto the same team with each other

we will go with that

Not quite the same as “illegal” though is it lol.

The game putting things in place to restrict it is fine. Suggesting it be criminal is a bit much. It is just a video game after all.

Indeed. Slim chance of a 4 stack, most likely just 2 duos.

Remember, if they have the same MMR to be matched in 1 game on the same team… after that match their MMR will still be the same as each other (same result)… So if they press queue at the same time… why wouldn’t they end up on the same team again.

Especially considering it prefer to match stacks in like for like teams, and only deviates from this when the queue runs longer.

Next season will be a test of how strict they can make that with everyone being able to queue in stacks.

May I remind you that you’re not an OW developer. So continuing to pretend that you are and act like you know everything is not going to make anyone think you are. You don’t know the facts, you just make constant assumptions Nightwing.

Innit. I was thinking this too. He acts like he’s in charge of the development team with the way he goes on. :joy:

I merely pass on well known information.

If you don’t know this information, fair, but now you do.
