Over the 6 yrs that i have played overwatch i have always thought that match maker was rigged and that it forced 50/50 winrates giving you allies who were on a downward spiral or players who would refuse to switch roles often staying on widowmaker or genji and getting no picks through the game only to throw it and leave you with another loss.
Well overwatch 2 is even worse yesterday i had a team that didnt even know when to push or when to pull back. One player was on genji and would not switch to get the pharah and the list goes on accept the games are even worse now. There is only so much you can do no matter how good you are.
Jay3 also made a post today stating that match maker was a forced 50/50 and noone could convince him otherwise. something i have said for years but was laughed at accept now people are finally seeing the truth and i dont know why people cant see that its forced i mean its staring you right in the face yet you grind and grind and grind thinking these loses are your own fault. Well i got news for you it isnt your not a bad player who cant rank up your just getting put with other terrible players and have to try and carry them as well as yourself and its wrong.
Why can i win 6 games in a row then for 10 games i lose everyone and get healers who take 2mins to heal me and dps who cant hit anything and feed all game. Its beyond a joke and i would recommend anyone who plays this game to just not support it anymore. Skill based match making needs to go and its the sole reason why alot of good players are stuck in lower ranks because they are forced to try and help useless players get higher in the ranks to make them feel better about themselves its absolutly wrong and ruining the game for good players. Anyway im done till blizzard wake up and start caring about actual good players instead of just bad ones and kids.

Bye, I hope you find a game with a really good matchmaker that will give everyone an 80% winrate all of the time.

Every game I lost was my fault and could’ve been prevented if I played better.
Every game I won was mostly because of me. In some games you have teams where you just win or lose and cant do much about it but those only consist of about 20% of your games. The rest you can change result.

I’m 6-10 on DPS placements so far… I really want this 7th win in game 1 today so I can move on to tank.
If your having issues winning as DPS, tanking is going to be immensely harder. Tanking in 5v5 require so much more skill than old OW1 6v6 as you don’t have another tank to carry you.
The new tank format is all about creating space with DPS. You are the DPS main now. If the tank is not getting picks or top DPS it’s an instant loss. Mitigation is nice but not the meta for 5v5.

It’s not a forced 50% win rate.
How do you explain people being at different ranks? Is it just luck? Person A is stuck in gold with 50% win rate by randomness and person B is stuck in GM with 50% win rate and there’s no skill gap? You can’t be serious
How do you explain the fact there are streamers with 3+ accounts within 20 SR? How do you explain that I had 3 accounts within 50 SR last season? They all had different origins too. My day 1 account (with my old MMR), my friends account he gave to me (with his old bronze MMR), and my alt that I made a few seasons into the game. Old MMR doesn’t matter and 50% win rate isn’t forced. It just happens you win 50% of games when you’re at the rank you belong.
I’ve taken multiple accounts my friends swore couldn’t be ranked up to the same rank as my accounts. They were just bad players. I’ve also boosted accounts and had the same people come back to me when they fell to their old SR. People are just so oblivious to their own skill it’s absurd. Post me a replay code where you think you played well and I’ll give you a page full of mistakes.

its not about giving anyone a percentage in winrate its about making the games fair and not rigged i know your probably not smart enough to see how the games are preset wins and loses but the fact is they area weather you like it or not even pros know this. The skill base match making needs to be removed for fair games and im not the only one saying this.

There is no forced 50% winrate in OW2 while you are at low ranks. I have a Lucio with 82% winrate after 25 games stuck in Bronze 5. Performance at low ranks is all that matter to get ranked up. Issue is after you hit your peak rank, game sense starts to matter. You’ve reach a peak with similar performance as your teammates and you start to fall. Then you reach the slide that all the plats are seeing.
They are at differant ranks because you need to grind game after game after game the pros grind for hrs and hrs at a time and even seagull got fed up with the 1 win 1 loss that he was getting almost every second game he even made a video about it and how he felt the wins were rigged. Some people dont get out of a certain elo because they have lives and some people just spend all day grinding there has alway been a forced 50/50 if you cant see that you must be blind i know like 40 people who were going 1 win 1 loss for hrs at a time in overwatch 1 and the same thing is happening here. Your entitled to your opinion but your wrong. why should i sit there and lose 20 games because of a match maker that puts bad players in my team when i could of got the same rank in 10 games its just not fair for good or decent players .

The matchmaker works as intended. It’s their game and they get to decide what matchmaker to use.
The matchmaker is rigged in that it gives you games designed to push your SR towards your MMR, which is determined by your actions per minute. Getting mad at the way the algorithm measures you is like trying to lose weight and getting mad at the bathroom scale.
If you want to lose weight you put the fork down and exercise. Take ownership and stop blaming anyone but yourself.

since you are quitting you should give your account to pyah - see if he’s still silver in a week :]
If it’s forced 50-50 it doesn’t matter how many games you play. Good players win games and climb, period. How do you explain me getting so many accounts within 100 SR? How do you explain me having a ONE HUNDRED percent win rate from bronze to plat multiple times?

I know you guys dont want to believe it and you want to believe everything is sunshine and rainbows in overwatch but the fact is it isnt and even pros are saying match making is forced. Look up a video called " should Skill Based Matchmaking be removed from Overwatch Competetive? " i think if you dont use bias and your love for the game you will soon come to realise you have been had.

I won’t be silver by LUNCH TIME lmao
I have gone bronze to plat in an afternoon multiple times and I’m only diamond/masters on the 2 roles I play
OW1 had a system that you start to rank you get worse and worse teammates so you had to prove you deserved to rank.
In a real Ladder everyone should be the same rank. The only difference between OW2 is all this is hidden. No longer can you look at the loading screen and see a 500 SR difference between teammates. Now you have to watch the scoreboard. If the enemy team has 20 picks to your teams 4 picks abandon the match and statpad as this will stop your SR loss.

You can believe whatever you want to but the fact is im right and the pros are right. They have to have some sort of match maker built in that forces these wins and loses and maybe the only way to counter it is to grind for hrs and hrs playing 1000s of games just to get to where you belong which you could of done in half that time if it wasnt for a busted match maker.
there are multiple examples of pro’s taking a bronze account to like high master / GM in one stream…
1 win 1 loss? Would kill for that over 6 losses in a row, 1 win, back to a couple losses in a row.

There’s no forced win rate in OW1 either. I have taken bronze accounts to plat without a single loss multiple times. Even with “old MMR” people love to blame. People just have no accountability.
I see it with diet too. Myself included. I was never fat but fatter than I wanted to be and made excuses, blamed age/genetics/whatever… then a little over a year ago I said screw that and took ownership of my diet. In 6 weeks I went from beer gut to shredded abs with raised veins in my lower abs.

It’s already been proven that High Mechanical players can rank out easy. All they need is godly aim and DPS as a support and that’s enough for the Ranking system to get them out.
There a Mercy player on the forums who was boosted to Plat with a 40% winrate. Now they have a 20% winrate at that ladder as their performance has peak with their teammates.
