Still forcing losses

Winning a game, team mate quits out and so does the rest of my team
Put me in another game, gave me the worst tanks and healers for some reason. No one knows how to make a good comp against the enemy.

Doesnt matter how many picks I get as damage, the healers cant heal or pick the correct heroes to combat their tanks. Ana for anti against a roadhog? Nah that makes too much sense. Moira, bap? yeah lets pick that. Stop with these terrible teams that force losses. Only way you can keep people playing your game if you make sure they lose as much as possible so they cant climb

Give me the gold border plat tank vs two smurfs on the other team. we are for sure going to win that game

Welcome to the weekend. I went from 1756sr to 1437sr and you don’t see me complaining.

People often think they belong at their peak when really they “belong” a few hundred below it. Your peak is ideal circumstances, playing your best, well rested, getting lucky dodging certain environmental factors (throwers, leavers, DC’s, smurfs, cheaters, etc). While you might be 1756 under ideal conditions, most of the people you’re playing against would be a few hundred higher under ideal conditions as well and as a percentile you’d be at the same rank if everyone was always under ideal conditions.

Typically, during the week I can hit 1700 no problem but once the weekend comes around so do the idiots and SR tanks. I’ve already dropped another 100sr since that post. I’m not that bad as support and am comfortable in the 1600 area.

This has happened for 4 years.

Anything below 1500 is just meme to me. I’m going to start making a game of it just to see how low I can get on the weekends and just troll the heck outta people every game. People get so mad. It’s cute.

The other thing that might be happening is people on the weekends might be a younger player base with better mechanics and shorter reaction times.

The game isn’t forcing anything.

Or the weekend warriors that just play for chill time.

The quality of matches at the weekend is significantly lower.

I don’t wanna see you get mad over smurfs or alts again LOL

This is not Blizzard’s fault. If you want a good team experience then you form a team and compete. You solo queue you take what RNGesus gives you.

I don’t get mad at smurfs or alts. Smurfs are actually quite rare and I just make a habit of reporting them for gameplay sab. I haven’t concerned myself with those types of players for quite a while actually.


I was thinking of making this an entire thread but I think I’ll just drop it here:

Dropped all the way to 1299 over the weekend. (support)

But you’re getting that as opponents too so it should be even.

My point is that if you’re dps and an adult, you’re prob losing duels more often on the weekends.

People still dont believe me

I get 2 plats on my team, im ranked almost 3300 tank. my other tank player is a 2800. one of my dps is a 2772.
Every player on my team is silver border

They get a silver border, a 4 star, 3 smurfs and a 1 star player
one smurf is level 41 and is 3900 open queue, 3500 tank and support player

their other smurf is level 56 and GM damage player

we get rolled. i wonder why. THE SKILL ACROSS BOTH TEAMS IS NOT EQUAL. so 2 plats on my team, they get 1 and they get a GM and masters smurf on their team with another smurf with me getting all silver borders. tell me how this is a winnable game and this isnt a forced loss

According to the numbers, the skills would have been balanced.

You can’t plan for people popping off, or having a bad game. Or even someone who is trying to manipulate their account.

The system is not working against you. It is just matching people based on a couple of numbers.

Are you that stupid? In what way would a GM damage player with a 80%+ win rate on every tank be a balanced game? Three smurfs vs five silver borders who are stuck in diamond?’

“the system isnt working against you” yeah thats true. the system doesnt work at all and needs fixed. I shouldnt have 2700 players on my team one game then literally every person in the game be in masters.

Because their MMR number would have been similar to others.

You just sound like another tilted conspiracy theorist looking for anything to blame. I have a theory about players that make this kind of bizarre claim. I will check profile to see if I am right.


edit…

interesting, you are higher ranked the normal crazy loons that come up with such theories lol.

Solo queue is the only legitimate way to climb in comp.

Losses are not “forced,” but every match is handicapped with Match Making Rating. More information:

You think so??? Why is that?!

Because if you don’t solo queue the only other options are teaming up with smurfs and getting boosted or teaming up with non-smurfs and losing a majority of your games to other smurf stacks.

Honestly even during soloQ you fight smurfs so it makes no difference in my experience :stuck_out_tongue:
