I have ever seen in a video game.
Lost too many games? Here is a free win.
Won too many games? Here are the most useless teammates.
EOMM is the cancer of gaming.

The game definitely should NOT try and help you out just cos you’ve lost a bunch of games in a row, and likewise when it comes to punishing you for winning a bunch in a row.
Each game should try and match people as evenly as possible - which I fully understand is not easy - but outside of that, each game should be seen as an individual event IMO.
You only need 1 win for it to give you THE WORST POSSIBLE TEAMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT NEVER ENDS AND THEY ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS GARBAGE EVER.
REFUSE TO HEAL
REFUSE TO ULT
REFUSE TO NOT GO IN ALONE
WHY DO THEY EVEN PLAY?

You’re right, fire all the devs and hire people that can actually do their dang job, cause these ones couldnt count to 5.

The problem with overwatch is that either your team pushes the other team to the wall or vice versa. Very rarely will you find a game where the odds are even. And if you fall into too many looses, it will either hold you there or force you out and throw you back into it, lmao.
First, when I was reaching rank, Overwatch thought I would be bronze 2, then somehow one win made me gold 3. And so I finally got to platinum 5 after about 4 matches (after doing placements). Then I got a winstreak of 6 matches and I was in platinum 2. And then somehow on each of my teams I had people even from gold 3. And on the enemy team there were often even people from platinum 1. And now I have 9 losses in a row lmao

yeah, Match making has been really bad.
I am hoping keller just dumps this idea of free account creation so that way accounts aren’t thrown away repeatedly when the person out there that doesn’t want to play in their skill rating.

It’s the management and team leads. Those people are the real issue, not the actual devs ie programmers, artists etc.

Same here. Stomp or get stomped. Really close games are like 1/20 (maybe)
And its so stupidly ez to make it work. They have all our data: aim, KD, critical hit ratio, getting hit by enemy, hero ussage etc etc. Couple hundreds more of data about every player!!!
Yes there is some variation in player’s gameplay (good vs bad day, luck, enemy screw up etc) but its not that significant! Vario maybe +/- 10%

Well, you know the game is performing bad when Call of Duty have 3k more viewers on twitch while OW2 is doing an OW eSports stream 
A lot of people are just done with the game and the horrible matchmaking now and have more or less moved on to bigger and better titles, or just waiting for Rivals or the new Delta Force game etc.

well most games have that - just the consequences of eomm and sbmm and the main purpose of those is giving forced loss matches that are 0.0001 chance to win- gotta drive those engagement metrics up after all so the devs don’t get fired by executives due to not meeting their quaterly metrics

Why is here moderator not joining into this thread??? In Starcraft 2 forum, there is much more often a comment with green from Blizz team or moderator and explaining things. Here?? Total silence!
Are they ashamed?
I refuse to believe this matchmaking is nothing but:
- You and 4 people that have never ever played OW before
vs - 5 Stack Masters+ players.
No one can change my mind.

Look. For. A. Group.
You are all here complaining but never thinking of trying to form a team?
Don’t like randumbs, then get to know each other, plan strategies, have practice sessions.
Bond with someone other than yourselves.
Matchmaker has literally made me give up trying, I only play as Mercy and have as little impact as possible now because I don’t want to win and be punished for winning with a horrible match after

Ooh wow i remember the first delta force… that was a hackers galore game.
It absolutely 100% sways the outcomes of matches on purpose by putting certain players on certain teams.
Like I’ve noticed when being stomped, my entire team including me is all around a certain skill level, and the entire enemy team, every single player there, is of a way higher skill level. I wouldn’t be able to 1v1 any of them on any role and win.
Nobody on their team is worse than any one of us and vice versa.
It should be shuffling players of various skills between teams, and the devs even claim this is what it does, but it doesn’t. All players of one skill level get put on one team only.
This also leads to colossal egos with people, which is why you commonly see people type “ez” at match end and have zero respect for the enemy team whatsoever, because they keep getting these effortless stomps to make them think they’re the best player in the game.
The matchmaking this season is the worst ever IMO. It honestly makes me not want to play, as someone who isn’t a hardcore comp player.
Many games I seem to have at least 2 players on my team who are endorsement level 1 who, by the way they are playing, are clearly new to OW - which is obviously no fault of their own - but the enemy team doesn’t have that. Just ours does.
I’ve been playing since 2016. If you want people like me to quit and never spend a single penny on battle passes or skins again, this is the way to do it.
It really isnt that hard to do. The most fair matchmaker would only take SR andping into account. Throw out all other metrics.
The problem is them they can’t matchmaker and rig matches for the slot machine effect.
IDK man it seems to have all suffered. The new clash map is recycled art, the hero designs are subjectively quite bland, and the game performs worse with each update.
Meanwhile the programmers act like 6v6 is impossible.
