Good news. New similar games on the horizon and we can see then if the mantra “all is working as intended” will change.
… or will ow devs say see our mm is better.
No 10 loses in a row and 10 wins in a row tells me that something is wrong with mm …
Why would the devs choose to give me 10 wins then 10 losses in a row?
Inb4 eomm 20 character
They choose nothing (like you dont think when you reply) they just dont care about good prediction factor … they care for quick matches… because streamers whine about that.
Meanwhile a good part of people would like to have longer wait times and more fair games.
Yea I had a 20 minute support queue yesterday. I prefer short queue times
Ofc you do, because you have time to grind … people that want to play a game or two and dont have a whole day to play … you see some people need to work … and just have one or two fair games.
I honestly think map/comp synergy/hero matchups ONLY becomes a factor at like masters…
Plats play Kings Row like it was released yesterday
I didn’t sit in that queue lol. I logged off of OW. Funny you assume I have all day to play though
Talking about expected match results…as in both teams have a near 50:50 chance of winning….not that it’s trying to keep YOU at a 50:50 WR
People say that the matchmaking is not rigged. LMAO. Ofc it is rigged.
Is shortening queue times rigging the outcome or not?
It is rigged to accomodate some peoples wishes. period.
Put me in diamond games against another support of equal MMR if that shortens my queue time
ah yes. that unbiased non-personal reponse. so “objective” and totally not “subjective”
Excellent post OP.
The community at large will refuse to believe any of it. They are better than their rank reflects, and its the game’s fault exclusively.

The talk of forced 50/50 is so wonderfully objective. My bad.
It is equivalent to mmr. You’re just wrong.
Okay, then why are there cosmetic only changes if your rank is a 1-1 of your MMR?
Player Retention. Same reason they pushed a lot pf players out of bronze into silver/gold, because being told you were in the lowest common denominator isn’t great encouragement to play more.
Smurfs either manipulate their MMR by deranking intentionally or it’s a new account and the MMR hasn’t calibrated yet. Neither of these scenarios challenges what GoldA said.
I get to play when WFH. Not trying to brag or anything… ![]()
