It’s normal for match making to become worse as fewer people are left playing.
I guess when the new season begins, match making will become better.
I haven’t played for almost a month for example.
See no point in returning without new content and with the current match making situation.
But some changes and additions to the game created a more positive experience.
For example banning heroes and avoiding bad players helps the game.
Still a lot more should be done.
I reinstalled and gave it another shot, managed to to finish my 50 quickplay wins eventually, still support only. Hopped right into ranked and it’s a whole different ballgame in terms of matchmaking. Got 5W / 5L after placement matches and got put in platinum 5. Teams instantly feel more balanced. I have no idea whats wrong with quickplay matchmaking, but something is definitely not working as intended.
Anyway, having alot more fun now and looking forward to next season!
When talking about the value of a role, no.
Not at all.
In fact is a non factor.
No you just made that up.
Again the list is there, there are multiple supports and those flex players are not playing “Full DPS Support”. No one in T500 is lol.
This is true, 100%.
When we are talking about “aim” we are talking about precision, this dude is comparing soldier to lucio, who literally just needs to press Shift to heal.
The only Supports that need precision when healing (not with ALL its kit) are:
Baptiste, Ana, Illari, Juno.
Thats literally less than half and all of them have other means with little to no precision required to heal people. This is just factual.
All my post is irrefutable mate and proven throughout the years. Ask any coach, any high level player ever. Support has the highest value return per skill invested. Period.
I didnt. I put out a display about Overwatch monthly statistics and told you that their average playerbase would contain atleast 23 mil - 30 million active players. It is now 17 mil and that in may 2025 when this thread was created that it was their lowest monthly players activity to date.
I know you are slow and that when we have a conversation that you need extra help but cmon…
Currently 15th for the month on PS, and 18th this week on Xbox. 14th on PC.
You did
If you have to resort to toxic remarks like this, it says far more about you than me. Be better.
Even if it’s 17m, that’s still pretty impressive for an old game. Especially as this won’t count Chinese players. So it’s probably a few million higher.
Was just looking at other games. Didn’t realise MR was tanking that hard now. 70% of players gone. Rough.
It’s fine I not enjoying the game. Or think decisions they make are stupid (I think the changes to passives next season are some of the stupidest things they’ve done). But the game is doing well.
The only way to see what heroes and comps are strong is to watch people playing the game is the best way possible.
The reason Wrecking Ball barely gets changed despite gold players moaning and banning him is because he’s only strong as they play suboptimally.
Luckily, they do look at the game from all ranks perspective. They have staff in all ranks playing the game. But, they know what the strongest combinations are, because that’s what the pros will play.
Matchmaking is definitely a problem in the EU. A great majority of my matches for the past couple of weeks were an absolute joke with colossal team differences between my team and the enemy team. It’s always funny to see people quickly jumping to defend poor Blizzard when it’s clear that this is a problem they’ve tried to fix for a while and are just incapable of doing so. Not to mention that their leaving penalties are a joke considering leavers are showing up in more and more matches.
