Is there some sort of hidden mmr working in the background?

How does matchmaking work currently? Is there some sort of mmr in the background with current unranked rush/clash?

From what I can tell, HELLLLLLLSSSSS no.

as far as i can tell there isn't, i either get matched/team up with newcomers or long time veterans, not really fun curb stomping a team of new players and the other way around.

Agreed, veteran player here. It makes me feel bad when it's vs new players. I don't mind too much when I got the newbies on my team, but there is a level of gamer rage you can tell when people opt to quit out when they start losing and the team member is replaced by a demonic bot. Hopefully they do something about this soon. I do feel like their mini tutorials aren't helpful at all with game expectations of teamwork because the bots are dumb as rocks and it sort of can mislead a new player.

not a veteran, but still i do agree the tutorial aren't really helpful, you can get much better info searching for videos on yt both for gamemodes and heroes.
honestly i also think they should implement role queue, i always end up playing heroes i dislike just because out of 3/5 instalock assasins and ranged...

MMR works fine, I think it's a lil conservatively slow on the increases though and it seeks out a wider group of players the longer you wait in queue, which will almost always result in a crubstomp if you are a veteran player, but in prime game hours I am def matched against Wu's that can basically go from one end of the map to the other without touching the ground and people who clearly know what they are doing.

When I play with my friends the games quickly become balanced after 2 or 3 games so I think the group mmr is pretty good too.

A game without MMR would look like tf2 server hopping, and the games are nothing like that.
