This is a byproduct of them rigging every single lobby. It has nothing to do with rank, and everything to do with patents that tamper with match outcomes to force certain results.
For more information, see for example:
i’ve interacted with gold/plat matchmaking a lot this season which is what a lot of people seem to have issues with, and maybe a third of my games have been complete stomps in one direction or the other that would have been the same had i not been there. however, the other two thirds of games have felt as if i had an impact on them the whole way through, win or loss. in lobbies where everyone is genuinely trying to win, the game consistently felt fair and balanced and fun (even during losses.)
…
as well as:
I mean do you feel any kind of rigging in your gameplay and/or matchmaking?
Do you notice more/less rigging in casual vs. comp modes?
Just wondering, because some friends were looking to grow their content channels and get into OW. They were asking around if this game is rigged and/or if any rigging is noticeable. They are NOT into games with SBMM or it’s derivatives. For OW, it’s hard to get a clear answer. And OWL certainly wouldn’t make sense if there were any kind of rigging built into…
Hope that helps!
