Skill based match making

So does ow2 have skill based match making? if it does, it seems broken.
as many have said before one team has stupidly good players, the other team has lower skilled players.

no matter how this is, it’s unfair for one team, I’m talking the better team having 20-30 kills at the end, and the other team having 1 to 10 kills or less.

Is this QP or Comp RQ?

To my understanding, QP does have skill based matchmaking, but theres a very wide range possible between the skill of the highest and lowest skilled player in the match.

Competitive has a more narrow max skill range possible.

Hero choises and the ability to work together affect a lot of match outcomes.

If someone’s main is countered by 2 mains from the enemy team, that’s tough luck.

If someone immediately gives up mentally, that affects the game outcome too.

It’s also worse in qp since people can be 2 ranks apart or more if grouped accross larger gaps.
A master can easily end up in a bronze game if a high diamond is grouped up wirh a bronze or a silver on the enemy team.
Even with solo players alone a bronze 5 could in theory be grouped with gold 1. (Not likely since there are enough gold players that they likely don’t match much outside of gold unless grouped or unlucky)

all i play is QP, it’s the least toxic game mode imo.
I might play something else if they have success with the new 2-2-2, or kingmaker and all they are testing,

I wouldn’t look to QP for even matches. When you can have champion players grouped with bronze, dunno what we’d expect

No, it doesn’t use SBMM, it uses Engagement Optimized Matchmaking (EOMM). It’s basically the worst out of the two.
