Premades are Why Stomps are Happening
You people keep making up conspiracies about match rigging. Heroes of the Storm had the SAME issue with stomps. It came from ONE source only...PREMADES being matched against solo players.

Overwatch 1 had this issue as well but the playerbase was larger then and you could avoid them more which is why people seem to forget the stomps in that game. Now they are an even majority because of so many players leaving in comparison with 1's numbers and they are pitted more often against solo players which leads to stomps far FAR more frequently.

It doesn't even have to be a 4 or 5 stack it can literally just be two paired up making plays and winning because of that, since even highly skilled solo queue players are not going to work together as well as a group.

If premades would ONLY be matched against premades of even number and rank then match quality would improve. Until then the stomps will keep happening no matter what changes aside from that are made.

Buddy, I'm hardly a plat player and am getting people who're GM skill wise. If you don't believe me, I'd happily sit down and show you screenshots showing proof of that. Its not a conspiracy, its the truth.

This has nothing to do with rigging and everything to do with a dwindling playerbase. You don't need a conspiracy or rigging to have that. When did gamers lose common sense?

Again, they outright said its the truth back in OW1, I don't know why people like OP are so determined to pretend Blizzard didn't say something they directly did say just to try and claim that the problem is something else.

At the end of the day, who even cares what the direct cause is. The matchmaking is abysmal. Is the reason for why its abysmal going to change how abysmal it is? I know I wouldn't suddenly enjoy getting stomped by guys with over 50k hours if I knew that the matchmaking wasn't rigged, but instead was just so incompetently made that it can't guess the outcome of a fight between someone with a 99% shot accuracy and a 50-1 K/D and someone with a 10% shot accuracy and a 1-3 K/D rate.

Aimbots and cheats are a thing. Especially in free to play games. I love how I'm criticizing Blizzard for not fixing the ACTUAL problems but because I haven't jumped on the popular conspiracy redneck BS I'm a shill apparently.

You people are more laughable than the toadie suits at ActiBlizz.

Matchmaking always will do this in blizz/activi games, it's the same matchmaking forcing you a %50 win rate even since ow1. This isn't a game for fun, I suggest you save your sanity and move on to other games.

Again, if they don't allow premades to match against solo queue then the stomps will mostly stop. It isn't rocket science.

exactly the reason i quit playing this game lool... When solo queuing and you see a team with perfect comp and playing damn near perfect. you can tell theyre a premade right out the gate. blizzard doesnt care about player retention though.

2k hours on overwatch 1, never seen a game where every single team member had 0 kill (being my team or the ennemy team). Which now happens pretty often in ow2

Matchmaking in ow1 - 2 will always find a way since it measures if you are good or bad and either put bronze to below on your team or make you fight a stacked one ensuring you will lose that match until you go back to your 50% wr.

I'm not in blizzard secrets but something changed with OW2, that's for sure

they will never change it because their numbers are pathetic and they know that all of these premades (who are cheaters as far as I'm concerned) won't wait for fair games. False report them - if you invite to group - already in group - just false report them - gameplay sabotage... it is that. my gameplay was sabotaged by that player who knows it's unfair advantage. I'd report blizzard if I could - but I go with the option I can choose.
