What's wrong with the matching system nowadays?

The better I played, the worse teammate I will get in the next game.

I’m a Plat 2 DPS this season (highest Master in OW1) and I lost like 15 out of 20 games recently. Almost every loss I got the highest damages, most kills and least deaths. In most cases, I performed better than rival DPS, at least data wise. But also in most cases, I got at least one teammate having more deaths than kills. Sometimes the other DPS had half the damage I made; sometimes I got a 5 kills 12 deaths tank, completely got diffed but refused to switch; sometimes I got a 15 deaths Moria that spent 80% time doing damage… Everyday I entering OW, it says my reports were confirmed…

I heard a lot of something like ELO in rank matching system, but I feel so frustrated about this and I’m losing the enthusiasm about this game. Blizzard, WHY DO YOU KEEP ASSIGNING ME WORSE TEAMMATES WHEN I PLAYED WELL? Or, is the rank environment so toxic now?

If you are performing well, you get placed with teammates who are not performing well to increase their chances of winning

and vice versa

This has been my exact experience aswell, and with no pbsr its such an endless grind. You gain and lose the same amount going 50-2 in plat as the actual plat player going 1-10 in the lobby
