I have played this game since 2017,and I love this game through all its bad times. I was bronze 2020 and grinded my way to Masters 5 in season 4 in Overwatch 2. Now, in the present Overwatch, I find myself in Plat5-3 lobbies since the rank reset, and it’s impossible to rank up with this awful matchmaking. This isn’t just a problem with me, though. It’s affecting a lot of players. I feel like you should also have an unlimited amount of avoids,matchmaking is already messed up, no harm in avoiding more players, then is there. I respect the amount of effort you put into Overwatch, and I respect the difficulties that may occur. I love this game and company, and I’ll support you to the very end. Thank you for taking the time to read this feedback.
You’re in the right rank. Season 3)4 boosted people, then they settled back down.
Just keep enjoying the games, don’t worry about the colour of the badge.
The thing is, Blizzard don’t know what competitive means.
They think that pitting silvers vs plats is ‘competitive’, but it’s not. It’s always gonna be a one sided stomp from start to finish. Heck, even silver vs gold ain’t competitive and is mostly going to be a one sided stomp.
They added the horrendous ‘rank divisions’ system as if that’s making the game any better, it’s not. It just makes the overall match quality that much worse, since there’s a huge difference between a gold 5 and a gold plat 1 player.
Competitive is when you have strict matchmaking eg, silver vs silver, gold vs gold and plat vs plat, without any ‘rank divisions’.
They do it for t500 etc, and they should do the same for every rank.
The other issue is the smurfs are ruining low rank competitive on a daily basis with their seemingly endless supply of new or bought accounts, that they use to either strictly stomp low ranks or to boost friends through x ranks.
They need to hire people who knows what competitive means, because the current management team does not.
