Competitive matchmaking in a nutshell

Would be great if they introduced solo matchmaking.
If they did really want people to not play solo, they should bring back the grouping option back, or promote the use of comms/teamwork back into the game - the amount of matches I go into where there is zero comms/no one in voice chat is shocking.

Alternatively they could matchmake based on the group numbers, so a three stack + 2 rdms vs a the stack + 2 rdms for example. That would even the odds up.

Which is exactly what happens now.

This keeps happening,i main support cause when i play anything else then my team dies, it’s always the solo Doomfist or even the “invincible” Reinhardt that pushes backline,spam “I nee healing” and dies
I always get blamed for their deaths and i even pocketed one Doom once as Mercy and after losing the match because he decides to push backline alone he typed in chat “Supp diff” so i wish to understand why,i only have about 400 hours on Overwatch but i got queued up with a guy who only had the game for like 2 days in a gold lobby,he then proceeded to solo push a nano’d Rein and got his ass blasted by a widow and then again blamed his supports,i wish to be put with my own rank against my own rank not someone who only got the game 10 minutes prior and it’s his first ever match against people who played since overwatch 1

Will always happen. People do stupid things and won’t ever accept they might be the issue so blame everyone else.

We’re all in the same boat. If we can’t climb, it’s because of the things we (not others) do.

The reality is. You almost certainly are in the right rank.

I thought trying Competive for a change… ugh… bad idea :frowning:

It’s just quick play with a % number than changes. Wouldn’t worry about it

No, it’s nothing close to “Quick Play”

Again, you’re spreading misinformation and lies.

Oh yeah, I forgot quick play was Overwatch and ranked was FC25… :person_facepalming:

You clearly have no clue about the difference between Quickplay and Competitive. But there’s no point even trying to explain to you.

Lol. Ok. You never even started anyways, just immediately jumped to being annoyed.

It’s the same game, with different consequences, that’s it.

seems in line with their strategy = ignore reality = most people play solo.

With the way games are matched, if you queue solo, most of your games are solos. Occasionally with the odd duo thrown in.

Most I can see them doing is making queues longer, by making that rule a little stricter. So only time you get duos when solo is if your queue goes long. But that risks match quality.

Match making has been in a poor state since Jeff left, I would imagine that as soon as his replacement is recruited this will be one of their priorities to fix.

Jeff left because he was essentially a walking roadblock in development.

If it wasn’t for him, and his “vision” of PvE and refusing to allow more staff to be hired. OW1 would of been neglected, and we’d actually have a well developed version of OW2 at launch rather than this perpetual beta version.
