For the past days the matchmaking feel not only inexistant, it feels like it’s actively trying to sabotage good matches. I’m either up against a team composed entirely of H. Erectus that just discovered tool use or against a coordinated E-sports team with a META composition. Same goes for my team. And what’s worse is that I’m paired with them over and over again, the same Mercy-Pocketed Soujorn, the same flawless aim Baptist, the same guy tring to run Genji because he looks cool but failing terribly.
I’m not really the best of players but come on, this is starting to get ridiculous. I know this issue might not be with me alone because I’m backfilling more games than ever. And it was running smoothly right before they dropped the last patch after the Perks.
WTH is going on? Shouldn’t they have hotfixed it by now? Do they even know what they did, at this point?

Right now there is none, it’s an aboslute dumpster fire, it’s the worst it’s ever been-and I’ve been playing since OW1 beta. The fact they’re not even bothering to fix it is just unreal to me. I made the mistake of thinking they’d improve things-more fool me.
All I can say is thank god for MR. It might be terribly optomized, but at least it’s not OW2

for me it has been HORRIBLE.
It feels like I am getting face rolled and obliterated by everyone. Its like I am facing diamond and masters players that have shoveled 4 cans of energy drinks down and are spinbot aim demons from the beyond.
Literally, insanity. tired of it.

Most of my time was being stuck in spawn, lately. If I’d check, I’ve been losing far more games than winning. The one-sideness of the matter is more frequent by the other side.

All we can do is accept the fact that matchmaking is the same as the games alleged anti cheat-there is none. It’s literally a lie

Sojorns start getting on my nerves, to be honest. They need to make railgun the size of Hanzo arrow or something… And no, I don’t have a hero fantasy of shooting in general direction of someone and hitting them. My fantasy is a video game without noskill hitscan chunking my health in half across the map every three seconds, thank you.
combination of:
- less grouping restrictions (wide queue)
- cross play
- people being banned from comp so they play qp instead
- less people playing
- mmr resets
- perks destabilizing game more
- not actually being able to predict a game like OW
- smurfs
- cheaters
- throwers
any on their own is going to mean matchmaking will feel all over the place…and combinations will obviously make it worse…take your pick of which you think applies
‘quick play’ - play a match quickly
‘competitive’ - play a match with players matched to your skill
what is the issue with choosing qp and getting fast but lower quality matches?
it’s not lower quality matches, it’s borderline unplayable matches. I’ve always been a QP player and the matchmaking has never been this bad.
