The issue is that blizzard sucks with their mmr system and have not once tried to fix it. They also never reset it when they do rank reset which would solve a lot of issues long term. Sure other games use mmr systems but they atleast know what they’re doing with it more than blizzard has for the last few seasons :l

This is a complete load of BS. Matchmaking in OW1 was actually tight. If you were a diamond DPS you would see some masters and some plats but mostly diamonds, rarely a gold/GM and absolutely never silver let alone bronze.
Once they added role queue all of that went out of the window immediately and nothing has changed since.

They have reset it multiple times including this VERY season. The fact that you are at the rank you belong is not because of Blizzard its because you are not good enough to climb higher.
Ow devs use caveman tech to matchmake… the community was debating on setting up a gofundme page so the devs could learn how to do their job.

im imagining the hell that is SBMM combined with tons of avoid teammates
Im not complaining about myself, im fine where i am and am currently climbing :l They dont reset your hidden mmr. I am annoyed that I will be in a masters game and be going against gms, or ill be in a masters game against low diamonds. There is little consistency to the rank q in my experience this season and its all stomp or get stomped games. They dont make out for fun games for anyone

SBMM would require OW to be able to accurately measure your skill which it doesnt seem to do very well. Whether or not SBMM exists probably wouldnt translate well in game which is likely why many OW games feel so one-sided.
Yes. It has exactly the same match making as ranked, using the same MMR.

Its borderline random.
Whenever I get a lobby and realize very quickly that this game will just be a stomp I sit back. Too many QP games are decided by the god awful matchmaker.

Glad several people here seem to have an actual idea:
It exists…performance no longer factors…it’s limited in what it can do….same as comp…there’s been a reset this season…people will hate it no matter what
It’s not BS just because you don’t agree. They have objectively made many improvements to the matchmaker since OW2, mostly to address differences in skill between roles rather than trying to average out MMR for the whole team. That’s why in OW1, it wasn’t uncommon to see a gold tank fighting a master tank. You will almost never see that now.
It makes no sense to compare current matchmaking to pre-RQ OW1. Then, all it could do was try to average out MMR across both teams, but it didn’t know what role you’d play. You could easily get huge disparities between roles depending on who picked which heroes. Nobody had role-specific MMR. Your competitive rank had (and still has) no bearing on your MMR.
llmao they never had sbmm in quick play
I just had a quickplay match in solo queue: both tanks had public profiles, guess. My tank was Plat 2 and their tank was Master 5. It definitely happens.

Could easily be two tanks with the same MMR, especially since a rank reset just happened. It takes a bit to grind up after new placements. It tends to place me mid diamond and make me climb back to GM every time, which I haven’t put time into yet this season on every role, so somebody’s going to think I’m diamond if they check my profile in QP.
