I haven’t played in a very long time.
I came back because my friends play, and either we stomp or get stomped. Out of maybe 15 matches (in comp) there have been maybe 2 or 3 actual close games.
Is this how it is for everyone? because if so, then maybe it isn’t for us
This is exactly how the matchmaker is. Crap.
I think most games of Overwatch have always had pretty definitive outcomes, but what that looks like has changed in OW2. Games feel more like stomps because of the change to 5v5. One mistake by one player can result in a full team wipe much more easily than before. Whether you feel that’s unsatisfying is a matter of perspective.
If you’re being stomped, make sure you switch heroes and continue to try for real. I’ve seen lots of games that started in awful stomps end up being pretty close. I think it’s really self-defeating when people immediately get angry and assume that the matchmaker must have screwed up.
Basically, yeah. In just about every mode it’s roll or get rolled most matches. My last 10 matches had 6 stomps for either my team or the enemy team. Doesn’t feel good losing that way, but also doesn’t feel good winning that way, and if 60% or more of your matches don’t feel good, that’s not a good sign.
Low quality matchmaking.
Worse than in OW1
My last few qp games of the day today came down to the last fight in OT. Was a nice change of pace.
I mean I don’t mind if it’s my team doing the stomping but yea it’s an illusion in general that makes you feel good
Those games I usually record and put cheesy soundtracks to them and post it on youtube
I’ve started calling it mowerwatch.
One of either team usually just mows over the other.
Sounds about right. This is the OW2 comp experience.
It’s either one with not really any close games or only a few. Pathetic to be honest
Everyone 2 shots each other, so it’s far too easy to pick someone off and force a stagger. If they wait for team or are TK’d, they risk being spawn camped.
Damage is just too damn high.
Quick kills is far better then characters being bullet sponges I think. Can you imagine how dominant a pharmercy would be if it required more shots to kill either hero lol. A Sym, Reaper, Tracer, Moira or a Mei having more health it would be a nightmare.
Yep. That’s pretty standard now. The matchmaking is basically non-existent. Idk how, but they’ve made it so much worse than OW1. If there’s one thing that’s putting off players, it’s this.
Yes I can imagine, that was in OW and they are worse now than before.
This is half of my matches right here: 9MV2GY
Yeah, it’s mystery heroes, but it should never be like that since characters die and turn into different ones.
Update: Had another exactly like it right after.
GOATS was literally the worst time to play OW because nothing would die. I’m pretty sure no one wants to go back to that. If you get 2 tapped its likely because of bad positioning. Example is walking into a junkrat spam type thing.
Or if you are getting diffed then try to play a bit more defensively. Its no guarantee you will win but you can’t keep playing the same way and expecting a different result.
I can guarantee that anyone watching this video isn’t looking at anything else than Widow’s butt, me included.
very true, all my videos are in the third person. most watched are widow videos or vids where i intentionally show off tracer’s assets saying she got “buffed”… that video has like 1000s of views now. i didnt think it would get that many views
my most viewed video 46k views (2nd one isnt my video and its the same tracer type thing)
Basically, and it’s not getting better for about 21 days.
You can bet it is.
The match quality is what is killing the game.
