Today, I was on a team of all solo queue players against a 6 stack

Okay, so generally when rubbish things happen in Overwatch, I silently rage to myself. Today I took one look at what was going on and I thought to myself, “You must be kidding me”. If you read the title i’m sure you could guess that I was on a solo queue team, and the enemy team was a 6-stack. As you could probably guess, we had no chance. Our team was not communicating in the voice chat (I don’t blame anyone for this, this is just how some solo queue games go in silver/gold) and sure enough, we lost this completely one sided game.

I may have been a little less appalled about this if our team consisted of 3 duos, or 2 trios. Its just bogus that the matchmaking servers could even THINK about grabbing 6 solo queue players and matching them against an organized 6-stack. The game was quite literally over before it begun.

This was SO ridiculous, in fact, that the 6-stack team was even questioning it in global chat. They were nice enough to apologize for the blatant disadvantage we were put into, and after the game we all had a good laugh about how broken it is, and moved on.

Long story short, it is not my problem if some 6-stack team has been searching for a match for a long time. DO NOT put me at a disadvantage that is out of my control, because I value my SR just as much as the next guy.

Today, I, was the only solo que player in a team of 5 stack and the other team was a 6 stack.

The other day I was in a six stack, the enemy team had about 100+ SR lead on our combined SR, but they were three two stacks. They were completely uncoordinated, we had a Reaper trying to flank without his team being ready, a Junkrat that was Ulting before his Zarya could Grav and a Rein that was just charging in whenever he felt like it.

And this was a High Plat game.

Who remembers back in the day when some 6-stack group from south america (Brazil I think) would queue for comp at the peek off hours so the game would end up putting them up against all solo queue people. They were able to use this to get to high GM ranks…

This is unequivocally worse.

Personally I think they should get rid of the filter that prevents solo’s and stacks to fight. Would create more incentive to team up rather then solo.

Got it twice tonight. ^ stack vs me and 5 other solo’s, qp I think. And also a solo against team of 4 in team DM. Funny thing is we won the Dm. Laughed my a$$ off…
