Last nail in a coffin of this game mod is 10$ alt accounts. Everyone and their mom have alt account in diamond and every end of season and every weekend and lately all the god damn time ranked is an awful mess with all the spaghetti code that ur matchmaking is +fresh accounts +boosted apes creates a hell hole that ur ranked ladder is. Of you 40 mln player base 10 are alt accounts used to troll and instalock dps.
I been hearing last nail in the coffin at-least a 100 times now ![:smiley:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")

And it gets beater every season in your experience? For me - higher I climb, games are less and less balanced, and every season there is less and less of close ones. All you do is roll the dice and see if you win or lose 4-5 games and only 6th or 7th is an actual game with even teams.
Also you are really low lvl, why ain’t you playing much if ladder is so good?
A: remember those alt accounts? That account may be one. Don’t assume you know anything about a person’s knowledge because of the SR of the account they’re posting on.
B: you’re not much higher. The difference between plat and gold is negligible.
Low level, because it’s not my main account. It’s one I use to play with friends.
The match maker puts you with a team, some of them can be good, and some not so good. The only thing you as a player can do to off-set for the match making team comps, is to flex fill. That way you can help get rid of the weakest link in the team and stabilize.
I didn’t mentioned his sr and it doesn’t metter to me.
That is exactly the problem. You are not playing in your own SR range and there are to many people doing that.
As a result fair player can spend his whole evening playing the game and not get any good close games, it’s always stomp one way or another.
Not really the case, even at diamond tier which this account is around we don’t go climbing exponentially we win some and lose some. It comes down to the overall skill of the group your teamed with. If players in your group have a skill limit, it’s very hard to carry that, unless your an extremely high skilled player in the Top 500 spot. My mains in the high masters spot, and I play around the diamond ello, on alt accounts so the gaps not that huge. If anything I just observe a lot more player mistakes in the lower ellos and keep having to call them out more often.
Alt accounts in diamond, main in masters and another account in gold. And you sure it’s not a problem. This community and people who manage it.
Ok then, guess I’m gona get myself a GM alt account since community is ok with that sort of stuff. I can get it boosted for free since my friend is in GM and game is on sale now anyway.
That’s a bannable offense dude… You risk getting your account banned for boosting. Perma Ban !
Nice one 
(I really wish they would start baning for that)
I have 5 overwatch accounts and here’s why.
My 1st account is a tank main account the moment i picked something els but a tank or support hero my team loses it.
2n On my 2n account i got banned for onetricked for a weak but i still wanted to play and one-trick widow so i had to buy a 3ed account just if my 2n account gets banned for one tricking again.
The last two accounts i got the game was on sale and i wanted try and force one friend to play the game and as a birthday gift to other one. Both of them ended not playing the game so i took the accounts back. And so as of now it is illegal to sell overwatch account so i have no other choice but to use them. From time and time just for the lol’s.
But i will say this i’m not a diamond or above smurff so players don’t see any difference.![:joy:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=6" ":joy:")
And with a report system this bad and fully automated no one can be to safe with Overwatch accounts.
Alt accounts arent the problem.
The ranking system and match making system is.
Players should be put into the rank they belong a lot faster.
Because of a fair match making system players of the same skill average are grouped against each other. Not with the same SR.
So players with a good MMR but low SR are only getting hard matches. Instead of matches against same SR where MMR doesnt matter. So they get easier matches and their SR get higher.
Players(boosted) who are real bad and only get like 45% of stats of what they should get when matching with same SR players(same hero) only drop slowly.
Players(smurfs) that carry games solo and get stats a lot higher then other players(same hero) with same SR, climbing slowly.
Also players should be compared to other players in your team next to same heroes with same SR.
But both destroying lots of games.
Boosted accounts will drop 2-3 ranks in a season, if they deserve it.
Smurfs will gain 2-3 ranks in a week, if they deserve to
Smurfs and groups make the ranking system obsolete. Players who have no business playing at certain rank do so every day.
Solo queue only 100+ level players allowed would fix a lot of issues.

Yeah, there wouldn’t be any ranked at all then. Who in their right mind would grind for weeks before they can play ranked?

There are enough high ranking players running around. In some of my games more than 7 players are silver portraits like me.
Yeah, which they probably got long after they started playing ranked. If I had to suffer through a thousand quickplay games before I could play ranked, I would have quit the game long before realizing there is a mode where you sometimes have a main tank that doesn’t switch to Genji on first death.
I’ll give you an example of why it’s fine from one point.
Some players are at GM playing support heroes, and they can’t play dps or tank on the same account. So the only option left is to buy a new account purely for there dps / tank needs. Although they were GM playing support they might only be a plat at dps / tanking.
So they are gaming the system, not playing what they are bad at and facing the consequences but circumventing it instead. No sympathy for those guys.
