They admitted rigging the game with EOMM the last patch notes

[Armando Broncas]

They deleted all post made about this on their forums but I will post it here:

MATCHMAKING UPDATES

When a player is currently on a loss streak, the matchmaker will try to avoid putting the player on a team that is statistically calculated to have a lower chance of winning.

Developer comments: Loss streaks never feel good. Before each match, we make a prediction about which team will win the game, based on the information we have about the players on both teams. This is how modifiers such as Consolation, Reversal, Uphill Battle, and Expected give or take additional Rank Progress after each Competitive Play match. Since most matches will have a team that has a slightly higher chance of winning, placing a player on the team with the higher chance who is currently on a losing streak is aimed at helping them have a fair chance of breaking that streak. While this won't guarantee they'll win, it does provide a helping advantage.

I wonder how big these gaps are in teams according to their data. Because a lot of the matches I play feel very one sided (both ways).

I tested. It's horrible.

Play 400 rank matches as a Tank, 130 matches as DPS and 130 as support. IT NEVER GOT ANY BETTER. I'm force to lose 3-4 matches in a row, then back to the top, then lose, then top, then lose constantly, then winning row. It makes me vomit.

I agree about ONE SIDED matches. It's frustrating and people denied the match is unbalance.

After all the up and downs I had. I'm still Endoursment level 4. I got trashed HARD. What is worth it??, hell no. And I don't see why level 1 can still talk or why do I get pair with pre-made teammates when I play solo.

I'm gonna play quickplay casually until next season. But for what I see *leak skins* I don't see a reason to stick around. I used to love Overwatch. PRIDE MONTH didn't have any in-game event. Porsche DVA didn't have a racing event or anything. And this keeps going. They try to sell a Mei Skin for 300 coins (3 bucks), testing if people like 70% off deals. WHAT THE ACTUAL *F* (this is very LOW)

We lose Blizzcon for this. I miss the red guy t-shirt.

Many other games do like Dota 2 and LOL



Yeah OW1 had its issues with MMR because it used SBMM but turns out EOMM is way worse than it and its so bad it's insulting

Holy ♥♥♥♥
Dota 2 is even worse ♥♥♥♥ storm than Blizzard's matchmaking
Dota 2 devs don't admit they have EOMM instead they gaslight the players using reddit thread think about that for a moment instead of admitting Dota 2 use EOMM Dota 2 devs prefer to gaslight and lie to the players that's already a win from blizzard devs imo

Blizzard matchmaking is more open than Dota 2

You can read all of my previous comment history I've said plenty on how bad the dota 2 matchmaking is
If blizzard can copy awesomenauts matchmaking it will be leagues better than Dota 2
Check the recent Dota 2 thread on matchmaking being rigged you will see many bots there just defending and gaslight matchmaking

Game's such broken predatory garbage even wins are impossible to enjoy.

blizzard truly turned into one of the worst devs in the industry, filled with some of the worst quality human beings in the world. they ran every franchise they own into the ground and parked them objectively in the septic tank of gaming

Imo Valve current Dota 2 devs are worse than current Blizzard devs this is coming from long time Dota 2 player i had to switch to this game because I was getting banned from comm abuse even when I only self pinged my items and self pinging in this game don't lead you to get comm abuse report this is how bad current Dota 2 its worse than Blizzard

Valve have made great old warcraft 3 dota 1 mod game into cesspit for the redditors who don't even care about the game itself with bad designs and matchmaking

If game enforces EOMM using win/loss sprees just throw or do i don't give a ♥♥♥♥ attitude cuz winning on expected loss games is what you call insanity

Nah, insanity is using a matchmaking system that's basically designed to make rigged matches. Then expect people to try, especially when the matchmaking basically punishes you for actually doing so..

I mean I'll have a 50% win rate either way, so what's it matter if I try or not?.

If you want people to actually try you have to provide them some incentive or reward for doing so.

Instead of making them feel like they are being punished for preforming well.. which Is exactly what this system does to those players

So if matchmaking punishes me for trying and doing well. You only get punished for doing things your not supposed to do.. so clearly blizzard doesnt want me to try or preform well. So I stopped..

My matchmaking experience has improved since I stopped trying too.. so clearly I'm doing what I'm supposed to be now

How is this bad?

Having a 50/50 match win rate bc of rigged matchmaking means less fun and also because ranks are dependent on wins and other stats that I don’t know because blizzard keeps changing it means you’ll probably be stuck in bronze. Also you’ll get streaks of losses and wins, so if you have more wins than losses the algorithm will try to make you lose more to even out the ratio. So even if you have skill you’ll just feel like you’re trash bc you can’t rank up, which is the point of games like this.

None really. It’s a ♥♥♥♥ idea to rig matches. Having a ranking system pairs you with players near your skill level for challenges and fun gameplay.

For them the benefit is that it makes you an addict.

It has not even been removed from the website; Its still there. It would be nice to add this piece of information, and take a screenshot/video in case it actually gets taken down.

Only when you have a weak understanding of the game..

I was calling this crap out a week after launch. Everyone was calling me a troll and a conspiracy theorist..

The "rigging" back then was far less obvious than it has become today..

Ngl I will throw a match im hard carrying just to spite the matchmaking system...

It's not because I hate those dramatically weaker teammates, but because I want to encourage them to learn and grow though failure, instead of relying on the matchmaking system i forcing stronger players to carry them..

People need to learn to play smarter...

Like the people who work on it, this game is made for the fruits. Who's whole identity is made of being a fruit. Either enjoy the jam or go somewhere else less fruity.

They've had whatever this matchmaking system is called in the game since near the end if OW1, I could immediately feel my games were rigged once it was implemented. I had near 60% wr before it was introduced and its slowly went down to 50.9 now eventually it'll hit 50 if I keep playing enough. I was calling it out in all chat from the moment I noticed it people thought I was a coping schizo, I mean I am but I wasn't lying either lol.

That's also a big reason why you shouldn't be toxic to your teammates though its really not their fault if they aren't as good as the enemy teams DPS or tank or whoever the game is literally rigging the odds against your team. So getting mad at them won't help the situation.

Yeah I remember that for the majority of OW1 you could climb, slowly but you could if you used certain metas, here with this system is impossible and yeah this probably started happening at the end of OW1 life cycle when it was dying.n
