What is Ranked in OW? Because it is not fun or balanced

Is anyone else completely fed up with the matchmaking in Overwatch 2? Because at this point, it feels like Blizzard is just throwing random players into lobbies and hoping for the best.

I don’t know how many times I’ve queued up, only to get steamrolled because my team is full of low-rank players while the enemy team has clearly coordinated, high-rank stacks. It’s insane how often I get matched with people who have no clue what they’re doing while the enemy team plays like it’s OWL Trials.

The worst part? It’s not just ranked—it’s Quick Play too. The whole system feels broken. One game, I’m carrying as if I’m playing against bots. The next, I’m up against a full squad of Grandmasters while my team is running around like headless chickens.

Blizzard keeps talking about improving matchmaking, but where are the actual results? It feels WORSE than before. Skill gaps are massive, smurfs run rampant, and the balance is just awful. It’s making the game feel more frustrating than fun.

Anyone else feeling the same way? Because at this point, I don’t even know if it’s worth queuing up anymore.

Ranked is always a crap show in the last days of a season especially when the next season will reset your rank no one sees the point of playing so the pools the mm pull from are smaller meaning wider matchmaking .QP doesn’t even attempt to make a balanced game so you shouldn’t expect it to.

I’ve only recently started to play comp cause of a friend pestering me to play it.

it is hilariously bad, the teammates i get cannot be more stupid, people with lvl 1 endorsement feeding and running straight into the meat grinder. i don’t understand how they are 10 times worse than the people over on QP
