THE INSANE LOSING STREAKS

[zia]

i cant even understand if i win 1 game i will lose at least 12 games in a row i was plat in season 3 now im stucked at silver 5 LOLLLLL the worst matchmaking system of all time

[вш]

yep, i know its broken because...I go back and forth on master/diamond from 2017 til recently. Now im stuck in gold 1. I see so many wrong things like nobody switching to counter, refusing to turn around and shoot at whoever shooting at their back, their tunnelvisions at all time worst. Bronze vs Diamonds stacks or smurfs.

As a supp main, i could not do anything but laugh at my team stupidity. Sometimes i would just throw game without them noticing anything. I never throw before that, tried to be patient season to season for people to pick up their game and know what to do...but that was never the case. Fk it not my problem.

One thing you're not factoring in is that in a game like Halo or Call of Duty or something a single person can carry a team of 4 or 5. Overwatch just isn't that kind of game, and it never will be and it never can be by its core foundation. I'm not saying you're absolutely wrong and there there isn't something to what you're saying., but you have to take everything into account and not just look at things that support your argument. There's also simply no way a matchmaking system can ensure 50% win-rate.

There are too many factors. Skill can't be so easily summed up in a number like that. One day you might be performing amazingly, maybe you win 10 games in a row. Maybe 20. Then the next you aren't hitting your shots. You're making mistakes. You're not thinking clearly. You refuse to swap heroes because you're irritated. You think your hero is the right choice when it isn't. Or maybe the person you're fighting against is just better, or having a particularly good day while you're just having a mediocre one.

It just doesn't add up. A system like that can't exist. Otherwise how do you explain people climbing the ranks? I know why I don't rank up. It's mostly because my mental is terrible and I tilt too easily. If I didn't, I could get to to the top 5%+ pretty easily I imagine, because I'm quite good at the game. But I get upset and then I play worse and stop caring, when maybe if I didn't my terrible team could pull a victory out at the last second. I know this because it's happened.

I experienced something very similar in Rocket League years ago. I was stuck in Platinum/Diamond range. I was pretty good, but I refused to take a look at myself and judge my own mistakes, choosing instead to blame everyone else. I was perfect. I wasn't making mistakes, it was my team. My choices were all great and my abilities were good enough to get to the top.

But I was wrong. I was shown that I was in fact the problem sometimes, and that there were many, many things I was doing poorly that I could improve on. I got some free coaching from a guy and within a few weeks I was already ranking up, ending up in Champ 3, which was around top 3% of the playerbase at the time. Unfortunately I've devolved back into blaming others and my mental being shot after not playing Rocket League or any other competitive game seriously for over a year. And that's ok. I'm old now so it doesn't matter much.

The point is that people don't like looking at themselves much and trying to fix their own mistakes. They just want to blame everyone else. And they might be right a lot of the time, maybe their teammates aren't doing well and maybe they are carrying them, but it doesn't matter. You can only affect yourself. Look at what you're doing and do better. The moment you start blaming others, you've basically already lost.

I sometimes lose 10+ games in a row, and it feels awful, but overall I am still at a 56% win rate (over 400+ hours)

Just play Helldivers 2 or something else, this game has been in a garbage state for several years.

win ranked game: +7%
lose ranked game: -20%

yup its the reason I uninstalled. Win 10 games in a row one day, lose 10 in a row the next. No matter what my performance in game is, its always the same thing. At this point it feels like I am playing for nothing. Even after I win a few games in a row I am not satisfied because I know that loss streak is right around the corner to undo all my progress. Its on purpose and I am not here for it any longer. Before anyone says I haven't even played the game, yes I have. Off and on since 2016. Most players are on battle.net.

That's what you get with fixed, broken ass matchmaking. I used to be Diamond, near Master back in the days.

Now a days I start at Silver, MAAAAAAAAAYBE get to gold, but every season I end in Bronze because I get ranked with piles of puke who can't hit anything and who ignores healers...

All because Blizzard decided to fix the matchmaking (they even have a patent for their fixed matchmaking system).

You are simply playing for ♥♥♥♥... its a waste of time. Period.

Well that means you are silver, just deal with it. It's not bad matchmaking otherwise no one could climb which is 100% not the case.
