Low gold and getting in games against 3500+ dudes isn’t fun.

it’s not fun for anyone to be honest. Whether it’s new players or vet’s it’s not our fault and blizzard wont acknowledge anything because it’s considered bashing them/back talking.

I honestly think that there just aren’t enough people playing anymore.

to be honest it’s been like that for awhile especially when new accounts flood in.
It’s like the only way to be competitive is to buy a new account. That’s just good business 
Seriously… every other game, if it isn’t “new account” smurfs, it’s a team of bronze and silver players on my team with gold, diamond, and plat players on the other. Imagine actual matchmaking. If you think forced losses aren’t a thing you aren’t paying attention.
Either they don’t care, or the population is so low that they can’t. And smurfs keep them afloat with revenue. Funny thing is i know a few people who quit because of the smurfs and would return if something was done.

It happens to me too. And even if I lose 10 times in a row (happened for real) and still getting masters while being gold/plat.
QPC is worse.
I once queued with a GM on the enemy team.
It was a nightmare.
There is no real matchmaking in QP.
I just shuffles team together.
It is as bad as Activisions greed

I suppose it’s time to pack up the old overwatch bag and move on finally. It was a good run though! But if there aren’t enough people at my mmr to give me a game where i can be competitive then there is no point anymore.

I play QP since S2, and later CQP. GMs in my Gold/Plat games never were a rare thing.
The only positive thing I can say is that there were two GMs, one in each team, and both DPS mains. So they 1v1 each other all the time.
There are enough player, but Blizzard thought it’s not worth the waiting time, so they decided to heavily loosen the restrictions to give us "quick"games
The formula always is based on: the better the matchmaking, the better the quality and vice and versa.
My 2 cents:
I don’t want to be forced to play comp to get somewhat decent and balanced matches. I don’t want comp level of quality, but something decent.
The current state is just abysmal and there is no way anyone can justify silver vs master

I’m still regularly getting new players in my games. I’ve started paying attention to see if they’re just smurfs screwing around and throwing matches or genuinely new, and they’re actually new a lot of the times. You can just tell in the sort of robotic way they move - they’re not exactly sure what’s around the corner there, so they hesitate and peek weirdly. They don’t really know what their abilities do so they hit all the buttons when they get attacked, panic and don’t land anything. They tend to not know where to go, so they’ll leave spawn and try a different door that no one goes in because it’s a long flank route that doesn’t really work great when you’re playing Zarya bud, but okay you do you lol.
But yeah all my games suck, last night I was talking to a friend about how I should honestly just uninstall because I keep opening the game up, playing two games and getting REALLY tilted about how bad they are, complaining about it and just spoiling part of my night. And then a day or two passes and I do it again. It’s like, I remember what good Overwatch felt like, and part of me is just hoping that if I just log in at the right time or hold out long enough, it’ll get better again? But… it doesn’t…

It is the fact that the League dumped tons of free accounts out as promos and the sale. It disrupts the game system greatly. SO they are trying to find a player to fill the slot.
It is VERY annoying.
