I believe you man. The matchmaker can easily find these folks. They do have the stats to find casual players and for some reason they are gravitating to you right now.
Years back I went 20 loss streak, 1 win, 16 loss streak. Was ridiculous. A diamond buddy of mine played one game with me on an alt and couldn’t believe how hard the game was.
Then I practised death match, focused on great stats.
One Moira game went 46-1 kd, but still lost.
Then after that, 80% win rate back to gold, then circa 70% wr to platinum, including a win streak of 10 piss easy games where my teams seemed heavily favoured and opposition played like silvers.
You people are going to be even lower than Bronze when OW2 comes out
Cannot play without a shield, cannot play without a Mercy, going Reaper/Junk/Sym to counter the Pharah, holding enemy spawn next to the Bus on Numbani defense, holding spawn on Dorado defence, etc.
