You guys desperately need to fix your ranking system or your matchmaking system bc i am solo queuing and im diamond 2 and have been put against 3 full teams of low gm/high masters in a row now. what am i supposed to do when i am getting put against not only people who are miles better than me but also each of them have had 3 stacks.
just gone back and checked the names of the people on the teams, and turns out 2 of the matches was the same 5 stack. which makes this even more insane since I AM SOLO QUEUING and being put against this. not only that but their tank is literally top 500 in every role for almost every season.
This. I can confirm as a Diamond player i, i am sick to death of going against stacks. Ive seen the same stacks with similar names like hispocket and hertank.
If you solo que you should go against solo que players. If you want to play with friends thats fine, but you should only go vs other groups. I dont care if this increases que times again
They have had 8-9 years to try fix it but haven’t managed yet. I would not hold my breath hoping they succeed fixing it anytime soon. Meanwhile other games use tried and working ranking and matchmaking systems almost flawlessly. A recently released competitor game to OW does matchmaking and ranking almost perfectly.
That rival game does match making in an almost identical way. Uses and MMR reference number to match people. The difference being their MMR is hidden still, OW MMR is hidden, but is mirrored by the visible rank so you know where it is.
Its progression system through ranks is different, and annoying people as you can have a sub 50% win rate and climb causing match quality to significantly drop.
It is part of the reason that game has seen a noticeable drop in player numbers in its current season.
“95% of matches are within 55% to 45% win probabilities, with a hard bound of 60% to 40%. More unfair matches are a lot more common at top ranks to reduce queue times, but a mid-gold player almost never sees 60% to 40% matches”
I can make up stuff too.
