Seriously Blizz, show us the rank (and skill level?) of all the players in our games. Show us exactly how balanced your match making system is.
Give us a reason to trust you. We need verification that this matchmaking can be trusted. Simple at that. Show us the numbers.
I simply want to have fun, and know that I am developing better skills than I had a week or a month ago… however the nagging feeling of being “put in my place” by the AI matchmaking system is hard pressed to go away…
I dont understand how 95% of my losses are DPS DIFFS.
Its getting old, fast.
Like every game. game after game.
How can it put all the bad dps on one team and all the good dps on the other, repeatedly…over and over and over…again.
The stats all the proof you need. Its sooo unbalanced.
Every game feels like the former top players are in one team and the other team is made of equal bad players. So forming teams seems to be ok BUT the skill level of each team is resetted and therefore one team dominates every game.
We need more transparency otherwise OW will die because all normal players will leave the game
I had three placement matchs in a row where the whole enemy team was gm/top500 last season and my teammates were plat. I dont understand how the matchmaking could possibly be that bad. Its not like the plats were actually really good and the gms were boosted, just hopelessly unwinnable stomps.
Almost like resetting things is a bad idea… who could of guessed.
Im pretty sure as half of the players expected. It wasnt a reset just another cosmetic decay. The real problem is this hitbox change is abysmal in a lot of cases. Comp is dead at this point there is no saving it. But at least fix the huge hitbox sizes so you have to at least be somewhat near target to hit a headshot. But as for comp, completely pointless, especially with this balance.
It looks silly, true.
But it is the same for everyone. If you think people are easier to hit… well you are easier to hit too. You have to adjust, tweak positioning and work round it.
If you ask me they’ve butchered this game. I have no hope itll be good again. Think this might be it for most serious players. Itll be a big game just not for people that want a good competitive system. Like I really cant take these games seriously anymore. the fun doesnt outweigh the frustration trying to win. Its easier to just play whatever and go for more fun than a frustrating win.
Thats just my take on it. Blizzard isn’t capable of building a good fair system. They wont actually commit to a rebalance to try and fix the issues. Just more cosmetic BS. Its just not fun because its really more often than not a fair game because of one or more of several variables.
I’ve played for about 5 hours today, longest session I’ve had since about Season 2 of OW2. I feels really fun atm.
The comp system is what it is… Hitboxes or no hitboxes it is the same for everyone, so the same skills are needed and the same good players will rise to the top.
There is nothing really changed there, except you have to play tank a little more carefully, and damage mitigation is key.
Yeah its fun. I’m just not playing for wins anymore. QP warrior playing TDM OW lol. I mean it is fun but I cant take this as a serious competitive game.
Game has stomp matchmaking. It has since the launch of this “sequel”. They won’t admit it and they won’t do anything to fix it.
They’ve showed time and time and time again that they are liars and gaslighters. But nobody will quit the game to make them have to ever fix anything, so they won’t.
Every comp match I’ve played today has been a 100% premade roll. I am silver/gold at best… I can’t win for my team against plat and diamond players. But that’s who I’m playing against.
What ever modes you find fun, you play 'em dude.
They didn’t change the match maker, that is probably why they won’t “admit” anything.
Hard to admit to something that they don’t do.
That’s funny.
As a DPS player, all my losses are Tank Diffs… with 1 DPS diff.
I think the game is simply too complicated along with the heroes being balanced poorly.
Because those “tank diffs” were mainly tank hero choice diffs vs counters , not actual skill diffs.
There are a few different ways to play the game. If you don’t play the same way as your teammates it is quite the struggle.
Nothing was reset though.
Ranks were, with a softy soft MMR tweak. That was it.
But look at the chaos people think is happening… Imagine a real reset.
Imagine thinking binning data that is probably worth millions of dollars would be a good idea lol.
I didn’t say they changed anything… I said it’s BEEN bad
That is a suggestion that since the launch of OW2 (perfectly entitled to be called a sequel, it is a literal dictionary definition of one), the match making changed to give stomps.
Well, it hasn’t changed, and isn’t responsible for stomps. As annoying as they are.
At the VERY least, show use the tier and rank of ALL players in the match. We are not asking for that much.
It is competitive…
Imagine real world competition. You are a basketball team, and you are not allowed to know who your opposing team is at all… You are given a couple of HS players, a college player, and a weekend schoolyard player… you show up for your matches… you start winning a few, and then in order to qualify for the next round you find yourself against a team that has a least 2 to 3 pro players, and a couple more college players… For no other reason than the organizers of your matches did not want you to win…
It’s been dumbed down so everyone can feel good about being able to aim. Weirdest game change decision I think I’ve ever seen.
