The amount of one-sided matches that occur. How the hell can the match quality be this badly degraded since the closure of OW?
Is this the best the developers can do now?
You can really see why this is rank 45 on Steam and the second most negatively reviewed game on Steam.
Last night I did a QP match and got the Oasis map. The first round we won easily 100/0. I think 3 of them left and got replaced by 3 others. Well⌠second and third round we got stomped⌠And this happens A LOT⌠
Lol. I play Mystery Heroes exclusively and even I get tons of one-sided matches when itâs supposed to be random. Itâs nuts.
In fact, coming from the game just now, I just had 4 games back to back that were not only a steam roll, but they were ALL a steam roll against us. Iâm not sure how the match maker manages to achieve that, but whatever.
Dont quote me on this. Im pretty sure the match maker will take anyone within a set banding of ranks (if they dont play ranked its calculated on win percentage) and puts them in a pool of people queueing up at that time. It then pulls 10 random people in those pools at the time the game/match opens up. Depending on where you are in the rank bandings you can have (theoretically) a full team of Bronze against a full team of Plat. Rank bandings most likely to be:
Bronze to Plat
Plat to Masters
Masters to Top 500
My message didnât break any rules. Why was it removed? Certain person abusing the report system again.
WAKE UP Blizzard. Youâre really taking the mick now. And you wonder why youâre getting a bad rep!?
ANYWAY, again, I AGREE with the OP, and the state of Match Making. Itâs still very much problematic.
Thatâll do it. Tell them they are doing a bad job while offering zero input on how youâd like to see things improve!
I never once stated theyâre doing a bad job.
Itâs an opinion, you know, freedom of speech. Which has clearly gone out the window.
The usual culprits abusing the report system again.
I stated that I agree with how bad the MM is. Iâm not a game developer, itâs not my job to tell them how to fix it. Thereâs been many complaints on the forums regarding broken MMR. So anything negative to say gets a report and action taken, so how will they ever learn from their mistakes?
It hasnât, youâre free to say whatever you like. And people are free to question/challenge it.
Fair. But itâs also clear from past experience that you also donât understand how it works, and at that point, how can you possibly know itâs broken.
I get it, sometimes matches suck. And some people that impacts them more than others, and they feel a need to vent about it.
But just because a match went badly, doesnât mean the match maker is broken.
As I said, youâve gone from match maker broken to MMR broken. These arenât the same thing. Ones a match maker (obviously), the others a rating system.
MMR being poorly/slowly calibrated has been an issue in gaming for years. Overwatch isnât perfect, but it does seem to have a fast and more accurate way of dealing with that than games like Apex or Halo.
Microsofts True Skill system in halo is atrocious.
Thatâs your opinion, not factual. Itâs all over the forums, you just need to read whatâs being said.
Same thing lmao. Donât know how you donât understand that.
I do. And itâs mostly balls, and just understandably annoyed players lashing out and blaming things they donât understand.
You call them the same thing then say I donât understand.
Match maker - puts 10 people in a lobby based on 4 criteria.
MMR - a score to determine someoneâs rough skill level.
If you think thatâs the same thing⌠Sorry.
Match maker puts 10 people with the âsame ratingâ (MMR) in the team. MMR means match making RATING. Itâs the same thing.
Iâm sorry you donât know what it is.
MMR is one of the 4 criteria it uses yes.
Well done.
No it isnât. Itâs just got the same words in its name.
Ones a tool for building a lobby. The others a scoring system to roughly determine some sort of skill order.
MMR doesnât make matches, and the match maker doesnât impact/change MMR.
Ok, thank you for your opinions.
Lol. I wish I could say my opinion.
The same systems exist in dota2 and R6S.
For reference, here is ubisoft explaining it.
h ttps://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/rainbow-six-siege/gameplay/article/matchmaking-rating-and-ranks/000063203
MMR is a score the match maker uses. But they arenât the same thing.
That would be like claiming a cherry picker is a cherry because it was used to pick cherries.
in that regards blizzard is just like you, some things cant be improved and only degrade due time.
listen, the only thing you need to be doing right now and wonder is what else you could be doing instead of wasting peoples time.
no ââbutââ, no ââifââ.
please just leave.
Telling people to leave. A bold strategy.
GodrivikâŚif your this bothered about itâŚdont play Overwatch 2 and do everyone a favourâŚ
I rather wait till it becomes like Overwatch 1 again.
Besides, you saying âeveryoneâ here is incorrect.
Most people who have left or downvoted Overwatch 2 on steam did not agree with your defintion of âeveryoneâ.
How about you balance the game like it shouldv been years ago and ill then say bygones be bygones.
Good for them. I hope they are enjoying what they are playing now.
Steam lol.
Balance isnât possible. It is a myth. They are just looking for an ok middle ground that doesnât p!ss off too many people. Something they usually just about manage.
Why âsteam lolâ. Do peoples opinions on Steam not matter then? OW reviews on there are incredibly negative.
