cant MM just save our time and decide match with dice roll if this is the case? seriously some games feel like bronzies vs GM even we are “supposed” to be in same rank.

those games I feel have to do a lot with coordination, like when your team clicks, and everyone’s specialist heroes synergize together, its why people that may be in the same rank steamroll
the only way to perform better then a communicating opponent is to communicate urself
it goes a long way knowing how to ask for resources on your team is my tip
Sometimes your team refuses to counterplay which can be only 1 or 2 players not willing to switch in order to doom your whole team
Sometimes it’s positioning when players split up
and sometimes it’s the result of role queue where tanks are rare but dps are very common.
Even if the match making does well, this situation would still happen.
1 player is enough to save a game but he can also be enough to doom it.
Given that it’s a team vs team game - for every unwinnable game - there is an equal number of unloseable games.
In order for one team to lose - the other needs to win, you see. So if you say that many games are unwinnable, then there are an equal number of unlossable games.
Now if you could specify what makes the game unwinnable and if the matchmaker is biased, given that matchmaker cannot predict what real human beings will pick or how they will perform outside of averages.
Smurfs,boosters and new accounts also mess up the mmr system can’t decide their skill rating properly so you get stomped in those scenarios. Having a toxic team member in your team like getting mad at every small mistake and make a toxic atmosphere that make people not cooperate anymore is also guaranteed loss. I just had one healer/tank yelling at each other whole gaming calling each other mum was already guarenteed loss sabotaging each other. I had last game as doomfist making one mistake and then mercy called me out In a demeaning way… Is when I stopped caring and just play for fun". Games feel most balanced to me in a premade 4-6 stack because you can cooperate with each other and have good voice coms.
Blizzard forces you to rely on your team in order to win at OW which has been the case since day 1. Then the matchmaking gives you trash teammates. So yeah, there are gonna be a lot of games where you don’t matter and no matter how hard you play and how hard you try, it won’t be enough. The only way to have any consistency, because you can’t rely on the matchmaker, is to regularly play with people you know.
It sucks, I know, but Blizzard won’t do anything about it, because they don’t think it’s a problem how the game feels when you’re forced to rely on people you’ve never met.

Sometimes your team just gets vastly outmatched, it happens. 15% of games are unwinnable no matter how well you play, 15% of games are unloseable no matter how bad you play, the outcome of the remaining 70% is completely in your control.
Then in those unwinnable games I always see like 2 fresh accounts on the enemy team then I wonder why we can’t win no matter what. 
and that guy suiciding all the time throwing his placement matches.
