What do you guys get paid for? Doing nothing all day?

They are working… On the PvE.

But it is by design. They set the MM to be like this.

For them it is working as intended.

there is nothing wrong with the matchmaking none of you can win so you just blame the matchmaking

Bad MM reduces queue times (shorter queues if you match masters with golds). Low queue times helps attract more new casual players. Attracting new casual players brings in more money. “Good” matches are not the goal. Bringing in new players is.

I personally feel super jaded about this whole ordeal because we used to look at diamond players in GM lobbies like “let’s hope we manage somehow with this” and took the some-what back and forth matches with the grand design of 6v6 for granted so much. The worse and worse it got over the years escalating at Q4 of 2019 the more I realized that things weren’t so bad. It was just that when you have hundreds of games as samples and you play the game without any kind of burnout or getting used to it that it was easy to knitpick the bad games in between. Where as nowadays it’s the norm really

well bc certain exceptionals who can overcome it and assist you
won their 7 games as required multiple times and received no sr.
this means less exceptionals available. massive exodus inevitable.

If you do good, the game will handicap you by putting a worse player with to “balance” but really they just want the bad player to keep playing so they could keep buying skins

You gotta be subtler if you feel like trolling.

Playing this game solo queue makes me feel physically ill. The only time the game feels at all decent is when I queue with friends.

blizzard if def off saturdays and sundays

so yes, they are probably home chillin

gotta remember where this company is

I mean just a month ago at least we got confirmation that yes pve is still in development so I doubt it lol. also im pretty sure they’d have to tell investors since afaik pve is still planned to be a big source of revenue for the company

Matchmaker is doing exactly what it is intended to do; making sure even the worst players get carried half of the time. Can you imagine if the average player lost most of their matches? Game would be a deserted wasteland.

From what I heard they are busy partying… still…

I mean most of the game is bad, because they wont ask money for it.

Instead of putting and END to smurffs. They welcomed the whole group here and now everyone is a smurff.

they should have put a 40 dollar price tag on the game and called it a day. Maybe went as far as doing an agreement that players must disclose their OS ID and then limit it to 3 accounts per OS ID.

Sure, it violates privacy policies in some way. But at the same time. The quality of the game is so-far gone. That leaving and pressing alt-F4 is a REQUIRED skill.

They be partying for 6 months or what? The matchmaker is been dog water since the game came out.

Microsoft are already set to buy them for a decide upon price. The stock ain’t moving, as an investor you could get out now take your profits and have the money work for you else where. Stock pays no dividend regardless. Also they can wait last minute to cancel things, no problems. Information towards regular investors does not have to be given particularly far in advance in terms of their long term market strategy and plans. There will always be one for the “public” but internally things could be different. I would not hold my breath for any PVE content at all. Also hots was not “dead“ and in “full” production before it got axed a month down the road. Their words does not mean anything, as again decisions are made months in advance before they are made public. So until they are official, what has been previously been said will be the default answer when questioned.

Real answer? Nobody is playing the game and they had to blow open the SR parameters
