Making me join a losing game in progress is toxic.

I should be able to turn this off.

I've thought this for a while now.

It wasn't so bad in OW1. When I got backfill I just went Lucio and a good portion of the time was able to turn the game around, and if not the loss wasnt so severe.

These days, people aren't as willing to rally and refocus because the matchmaking feels so one sided more often.

Yeah, it's just a stomp either way. No close game so far. Kind of boring. It's not fun to win this way and it sucks to lose this way. I am starting to see why people don't like this game.

You can believe me or not, but Ive improved significantly in the last few months as Lucio with my tech and positioning, but my win rate went from 73 percent with him down to 54 in OW2 simply because of the new matchmaking system.

And that's the same with every character. Basically everything is super close to 50/50.

And the devs have come out and stated that a 50/50 rate was their intention, so it's just a bad idea they genuinely seem to believe in.

That's unless all of this is simply to sell cosmetics. Who knows.

Here is Flats, a respected name in Overwatch discourse discussing it way better than I could

I am just going to play something else. This is a waste of time.
it's literally an abusive relationship. where you get to feel happy every now and then so you buy something. it's so toxic.

Finals is pretty fun. Hard to win as a solo. Which makes it rewarding.

But hey, at least you get a priority queue for joining the mid/end of the match. /s

I just had a 4 minute priority queue

Absolutely perfect compensation for being in a losing game /s

duo premade that doesn't play with the rest of the team, is the main reason why I lose games. it's so dumb that is allowed.

or pay to win maga. what a stupid unbalanced game. such a waste of time. Wish lefties hadn't killed gaming, so that there would be better things to play
