It’s unbelievable how bad it is. The skill difference between players in same rank is insanely high. Boosted players, smurfs everyone everywhere. It’s so bad i can’t even throw a game. I leave the match at the start and my team wins the match 4v5 and i still get SR from it. It’s really really incredibly bad. Just wow. These devs should come out and apologize for it.

i climbed out of Gold in placements and arrived to diamond 5/4 on all roles.
i had a huge winrate among all roles something like 65% over 50 games.
Then i Just playing dps games i started to get veeery weird teammates.
Besides of supports and tank never willing to swap or counter
the game had 0 balance at all.
7of10 we got rolled
1of10 we roll hard ( It never Happened that they put 1 good player and 1 ok player on dps on both teams, It was Always 2 best Smurfs vs 2 10year old kids.
More i played soloQ more i lose. from D5 i manage to drop to P4.
if you are not playing S tier Heroes( and no matter how you play them) you have almost 0 impact over the game.
Only stats and health/armor matter now.
Dva’s Just fly you in the face inting 1v5, robbing an elim and manage to get out…
super mega lame meta for Porsche skin

Good to know this isn’t just happening in my games.
Like if you’re gonna put an insane Cassidy on the enemy team who obviously doesn’t belong in my rank, can you at least give us their equally insane Widow instead of these garbage Junkrat and Reaper?

Everyone cried and asked for a reset. This is what it looks like.

Mate you’re right it’s a f***kn joke. The dps are mostly morons padding stats by shooting tanks shields. Not going for healers and wondering why tank is not dying. You either get the other who chooses widow and couldn’t hit a target standing still point blank. You get the healers just choosing to dps and not heal. Tanks who just want to play meta dva and run in and complain when dead. It’s getting hard to enjoy the fun this game was

The matchmaking is so unbalanced. One day I can be on the winning side where we just stomp the enemy team match after match who clearly aren’t at the same skill level, and the next day I’m with team mates exactly like you describe and just get stomped.

That’s why they need to bring back SR ranking not perfect but least matches were fun and some what balanced
That’s not match making doing that.
Who is then? The tooth fairy?
Well, it’s this fun thing called the 10 players in the lobby.
You get 2 teams of similar MMR and watch one make mistakes, rush in to engage, or just simply pick a weaker comp and not change it up. And boom. One sided game.
you know this is ELO matchmaking
If you play since 2016 you should realize that this is not the MM, it is actually improved, this is the 100 times less online that makes all the difference. MM can’t function when there are no players, basically.
On paper this makes sense as a theory.
Except OW2 increased players compared to OW1. Only time OW1 had more was at the start.
- The game format and character design make for a very volatile game. That’s due to incompetence and a lack of understanding of the game by the people who are developing it.
- The balance is in the hands of people who have never played any of the characters at a high enough level where players typically maximize the value that can be extracted from a character’s kit.
- The overall quality of the playerbase has dropped because of the above and the move to a free to play model which makes it incredibly easy to smurf or throw games, incredibly easy to cheat, incredibly easy to be toxic as it no longer costs any money to make a new account if need be.
- The so called reset isn’t really a reset. It’s just something to compress the vast majority of players into a few ranks with the hope of having queue times improve. The effect of this genius move is that fewer people play competitive and so lobby quality and queue times are worse as a result.
Blizzard has never been able to decide whether this game is a competitive game or a casual game. The PvE component could have made it be the best of both worlds but it was scrapped in favor of a free to play cash cow of aggressive monetization. Competition is coming though, and that means sooner or later Blizzard will have to do something or face a shut down as a studio.
You can’t pad any stats shooting shields. Breaking shields is also good cause it gives opportunity. In most cases you can not just walk through the enemy tank. Blizzard made sure of that as well by gigga buffing them.
