IMO MMR in comp should only exist past Masters or GM, so many instances of lower ranked players getting in low - high masters lobbies when they very clearly shouldn’t be there, games feel comically unbalanced at times because of this.
This also makes it much harder to rank up, say for example you are gold/plat and getting thrown into masters lobbies and you’re not at that level just yet, your ranked experience is going to be complete hell and make it almost impossible to rank up.
Based on what they said in the update… This just isn’t quite true.
Yeah countless games I am placed into a lobby where the dps barely make 3k dmg across the entire match. Theres little you can do to win the match when there just isn’t any damage whereas the opponents are putting out 10-14k dmg.
Hopefully now Blizzard have finally started looking at the data (god knows why it took them so long) we’ll see some uplift from all of this.
I can have a good run of matches, but then get placed with potential noobs who are barely able to get any dmg for multiple matches.
Probably something to do with their 50% winrate attempt

People having a bad game, doesn’t make bad players.
Talking stats without context also doesn’t make a good player.
My question would be. What tank did you have, what did the enemy have. Did their DPS have a hard pocket. Did yours. So on and so on.
None of this, from that anecdote you’ve used is match maker related.
Thank you for your opinion. Very kind of you.

Yes, it’s a team game. No, my rank shouldn’t be judged based on wins and losses. It should be based on stat-tracking vs the people you are playing with and against. I’m constantly getting matched with people who play like they’re playing their first ever game of Overwatch. There’s no chance in hell we’ll win even if I destroy with my role because as stated, it’s a team game, you can’t win on your own.
If I am obviously playing better than everyone else in the game my rank should go up, theirs should go down. I know performance can’t easily be tracked with stats but if you get more kills/assists and do more damage/healing than every other DPS/Support combined it’s still a better reflection than just winning or losing.

Bring back actual placement matches so players can go to roughly their actual rank in 10 games instead of playing 50-100 games in elo hell
You’re playing in those lobbies anyway.
It’s just visually deranked you, and they are binning that off. So it’ll be the same as it was before.
