People that defend the game’s matchmaking are obviously just Comp DPS mains, the ones unaffected by Blizzard’s decisions in general.
I was curious to see what would happen if an account had tons of losses, and I mean intentionally. What would the matchmaking do then?
So, I made an alt, and played QP a bunch, today actually. Through 16 losses, out of 16 total QP matches played, 8 of them I wouldve won. I was just targeting one player, yet the rest of the team were still winning. If I didnt leave those matches, then I wouldve had 8 wins out of those 16 games. A 50% winrate. I wasnt trying at all, yet that 50% winrate was rearing its ugly head.
After that, I actually played some QP matches, three of them, only two I won, but it was the same Comp player tryhard purgatory again. No matter what kind portrait you have, no matter how long you played, QP is still plagued by Comp tryhards.
I’d really like to hear an explanation to how its fair that a lvl4 account that lost tons of matches, is paired up against Plat players? Their profiles werent private, they were Plat players & played QP as if it was Comp. A freakin’ lvl4 account should be up against other low lvl accounts first of all, which was the case at first. There shouldnt be any Silver portraits and especially Gold portraits near them.
It is insane that when I actually played QP matches again, the matchmaking puts me in Comp matches. Its like the game knew I wasnt trying before. Ironically, the only fun that was had was in those 16 matches where winning wasnt my goal, and I was targeting a Widow(& other picks) player all the time & eliminating them over & over.
You cant win until the game decides you can, and even then, you get just 2 wins, 3 at best. Unless you’re a Comp DPS main. Does Blizzard really intend people to just never win QuickPlay ever? Because if the only fun thing about it is not winning & doing other things instead, then why have the mode there at all? Why isnt QP replaced with a 6v6 player VS competent AI Co-Op mode?
Now I see why QP matches are always one-sided, other players figured it out but just never put up a forum post about it.
I swear, Overwatch 2 better be worth all the silence. Blizzard putting all their focus there better result in a game that separates the modes for the majority from the Comp mode for the 1%. The matchmaking better not be OW1’s mess again, and while Im at it, Overtime & Backfill better be removed from whatever its QuickPlay will be, and portraits better be gone entirely.
