Quickplay Matchmaking

“Jump into a game against other players of your skill level

In Quickplay, I am constantly being matched with mixed ranks in both teams: One can be gold ranked, and another can be Master or Grandmaster.

I am Platinum, not that great of a player, I admit, and this really makes matches unfun: Either we get carried by the Grandmaster in our team or we get our butts kicked by theirs. All I am asking is to just play with a team of Platinum vs. another team of Platinum. I know this is an issue that a lot of people complain about and has been talked about before, but I would really want the statement in the main menu (quoted at the top) to be true, even if it would make the search time a bit longer I’d be fine with that.

EDIT: Looks like this happens randomly, sometimes a fair match and sometimes, well, not.

From what I understand the game uses another skill rating system called MMR for quick play. A GM who is a Tracer main but likes to mess around with Doomfist in quick play may have the same MMR as you. Additionally, matchmaking may put you in a game where you have some higher skill players evenly distributed on the two teams, rather than have you wait 5 minutes in order to fill it up with players of similar skill as you.

Ah, that clears things up. Still though, would be nice to even have an option where I can match with other plats rather than mixed ranks.
