So maybe its anecdotal but man has the game felt wildly rough lately. Consistently I get rude players or people that refuse to flex in comp to meet obj standards. Playing in plat/diamond with lucio mercy/zen or lucio moiras/zens consistently and will not flex for team. Rather just trash talk everyone for not rolling rofl. games where me and the other dps have 40ish+ kills to 8 deaths and our tank is running 14/14 k/d going into 2nd round of Kingsrow. I dont know what to feel, is the game throwing silver/gold/plat/diamond/master into the same game and being like you youre plat/diamond haha carry it lolololol? like sheesh man. I feel like my rank reset me to low gold when season 2 dropped tho im high plat and I climbed to high plat again but my mmr has been high plat/diamond the whole time, even with a good win ratio and now Im playing some insane games trying to drag my team through mud matches to get to into diamond. It never felt this bad in OW1 with such game/team imbalance. it feels insane, to the point where people in voice comms tell me Im a shi**er for saying we need to establish high ground on Eichenwald… and when attacking the enemy team abuses high ground on defense, and then when were on defense, even though I comm we should hold high ground my team/supports literally stand mid under bridge, gets rolled, then says our teams trash despite me trying so hard to coordinate to hold high ground. I know if I just play 1000 games games ill climb but holy heckamoly does it just feel like matchmaking is strategically designed to give me hard games and make me force elongate the grind out of the “rank im in” despite a dishonest mmr/actual rank game system. idk anymore. and I’m not even trying to flex like I should be top 500 or something, I honestly place myself at low diamond but the game just has felt so rigged lately.

true, but even then just basic strategy that you used to see in plat/diamond seems to be gone opposed to my sojourn skreeing at the team for not standing on cart despite getting repeatedly dumpsterd by good positioning. but if i run ashe me being on HG means nothing if i get contested with 0 supports HG. Honestly im just tilted… esp cuz i try to actively comm good play/ strategy with my teammates and the response 50% of the time is some zen telling me im trash cuz he died to a craked genji repeatedly.
plus cheaters and torby bots. lots of torby bots
