Every, single, match, it’s slay or be slayed.
Either your team is rolling, or the other team is, and nothing can be done about it.
This leads to toxicity and anger amongst players, please fix this garbage matchmaking already.

Imo its from push and the incredibly bad matchmaking. Push is one sided always and with these garbage maps its even worse. The matchmaker putting plats against gm’s is also a garbage design. Its like the devs are not even playing their game.

I’ve had more stomps in 3 months of Overwatch 2 than I did in nearly 6 years of Overwatch 1 and that’s, hand to God, the truth. Not being dramatic or full of hyperbole.
The match making is catastrophically broken.

ow1 matchmaking was super even in the higher ranks, I miss it.

No, immature players not having self control is what causes toxicity.
No matter the era, no matter the game, people always say matchmaking is awful.
MMR and SR should’ve never been hidden or seperate from each other. This system was so poorly implemented its insane. There are so many players in ranks they shouldnt be in right now. This is a cluster F of a matchmaking system.

Push (along with the 2cp maps it replaced) need to be deleted forever. THE WORST map design ever introduced in a game.

Its because so much of Overwatch was built for 6v6 whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Getting rid of a tank and making all the tanks into off tanks didn’t help. The few tanks that are defense or team focused constantly get bodied since there’s no other tank to help take the pressure off. So Off tanks like the new Orisa and Hog run rampant with high damage to 1 shot dps uncontested in your team. Supports get bent over a concrete barrier, your non meta tank gets served up on a crispy bun, your team gets staggered the entire match even if you try to regroup (which almost never happens), and suddenly its boring for both sides. When you can spawn camp reliably in Overwatch 2 thats a huge problem.
According to Samito, this is something they’re looking at changing for Season 3.
B-b-but fast paced gameplay! Less barriers! Pew-pew is more valued! Isn’t the game automatically superior to anything we’ve ever seen in Overwatch now that we’ve eliminated tons of stuff that makes Overwatch unique!?

…yawns, not in my experience, I’d say about 8/10 games are fairly even with the occasional stomp… 
…still yet to see anyone post 10 of their last replays so we can see 10 of these supposed ‘1 sided games’ in a row…?

I mean… I’ve been warning about this for like the last 6 months or so.
Now it’s just sitting back and watching the bonfire.
I unironically agree with this sentence, and think that the world could use a simple cod clone with abilities and cartoony violence. I just don’t want that to be Overwatch.

I bet that its the 5v5 format that’s casing this issue. 5v6 Team fight is much more survivable than 4v5. You’d think it would be the same but its not. Loss of a tank isnt 50% of your tanking gone, its 100%. You used to have to delete an entire role 4v6 to for sure steamroll. Now not so much.

I say the same thing too. not once have I had a balanced match up in overwatch 2
OW2’s matchmaking feels no different than OW1’s. Sometimes you stomp, sometimes you get stomped, sometimes it’s close and goes to overtime. It’s always been this way. This is not some new thing.
I have to say I am seeing more stomps too lately, noticably more than the beginning of ow2. And one result or reason for it are leavers, most games I play in QP now, have leavers on one or both sides. And even worse, because of it you get a LOT of backfills, and I swear I’d rather wait than to ever be put in a backfill role, it is 90% of the time a stomp already, you are immediately in disadvantage (no ult charge, no idea who plays how on both teams), 5% of the time you are joining the defeat screen and maybe 5% is when you can actually win a backfill. Turn this crap off and add surrender vote, I dont want to backfill, I truly dont, even if you give me xp you are doing now blizz. Instead start punishing leavers with XP removal and on longer term extended bans, but for one do not let leavers matchmake until the prev game is on at least.
Normally I’m a calm person. but ow2 made me rage this past week more than I want to admit, just yesterday my first game was a stomp backfill. No, just no, throw me out of backfill queue.
Maybe because the replay system isn’t working for many people. Haven’t been able to generate a code since season one. Blizzard is working on it per the bug report.
I think we’re seeing more one sided matches because we’re seeing more people give up after losing the first fight. It happened in OW1, but it seems more pronounced in OW2. Probably from the influx of new players who don’t know how to turn matches around.
