MMR will still be broken. Your match making system has been problematic for a long time now.

Played 5 so far tonight. All perfectly fine. Even with a Widow/Sombra trying to derank.

The director or the game team would like to improve the teaching system for newbies in the game. The game actually emphasizes on teamwork, that is, a team consisting of a tank, an exporter, and a helper, and the resetting mentioned in this article is to improve the overall running time of the team, but my observation is that some players don’t wait for their teammates, and they don’t know that teamwork is a better way to win. I hope there will be a new teaching system for newbies, and I also hope there will be a simple introduction of each mode to help players build up their concepts and minimize the gap between newbies and veterans.

“Rigged matchmaking” isn’t a thing. And neither are forced losses. Both are totally illogical and basically impossible to implement. If such things happened and it was leaked/revealed the game would have died in days.

Both are very much a thing and easy to implement. Activision has been doing it for years in Call of Duty.

There has often been discussion in the community. But its mostly just a perception thing and not reality.

Factually incorrect.

The avoid slots of 15 doesn’t sound enough to me.

Also, why don’t they work on fixing their server issues, fixing the one sided matchmaking?

In my opinion, that should be their first move. Agreed though, 15 avoid slots just isn’t enough.

When will you fix the reward system.
The fact that unlocking most of the legacy cosmetics would take 50+ years is insanity.
You are killing any casual feel the game had and wonder why people would rather pay $50 to get OW1 back
