Horrible matchmaking

[Ųŋĸńōŵņ]

Even after all the hundreds of millions Blizzard made, the matchmaking is still non-existent.

Literally lost 24 matches in a row because I got paired up with people who can't hit anything, push solo or don't know how to tank.

Always hated the matchmaking system in this game.

You just don't understand it, most are caught up in this idea that all matchmaking systems are the same.

When in reality, there's several fundamentally different forms..

In the case of ow2, the number one purpose the matchmaking system is designed to serve is not to make even matches.. but to keep all players between 40-60% average win rates.. while maintaining an approximate 50% winrate when averaging the entire playerbase...

The purpose of this type of matchmaking system is to make the game more profitable, by improving the experience for those who are actually stupid enough to throw money at it..

blizzard knows they aren't going to get much money from the people who are actually smart enough to be good.

They also know those stupid enough to throw money at them, won't stick around, If there constantly getting stomped due to their own stupidity. As such the matchmaking system exists to compensate for that..


Whats hilarious is that they don't even seem to care that their matchmaking system can be easily manipulated and exploited to gain handicaps, and just assume everyone it to stupid to realize, or take advantage of it..

And the game has been degenating rapidly since launch became of it..

The flagrant onesidedness of matches, is a direct product of the matchmaking system, and the playerbase degenerating with time.

The more the playerbase Degenerates, the more obviously onesided matches become due to the matchmaking system trying to maintain win rate thresholds..

Personally I'm waiting for the day when it finally implodes, which will inevitably happen and the game will rapidly die once it does.

Seen this pattern play out many times

Overwatch has matchmaking?

Yep, that's why 80% of matches are one sided.. only way it can ensure the bads can get wins..

A legitimate matchmaking system is actually detrimental to profitability.. as it forces players to learn and grow and punishes them until they do.

Whats hilarious is its the single biggest thing killing the game..

Ngl, I'm only sticking around with the game waiting for the day the matchmaking system inevitably implodes, which will kill the game..

The skill diversity of the playerbase is declining due to the matchmaking, which then causes it to worsen more, which results in more players quitting and the cycle continues..

This process will repeat until the skill diversity of the playerbase is so bad, the matchmaking system can no longer distinguish good and bad players, and which point it will implode..

Blizzard has been making desperate attempt after attempt combat it, and each time only making things worse..

The game is a timebomb and blizzard knows it, thus they are trying to make as much money from it as fast as they can before it detonates..

Unless blizzard does something serious the game has maybe 2 years before it kills itself, though I feel I'm being quite generous, considering how bad the state of the playerbase had become In only a year..

That's a lot of Blizzard bashing, but I'm legitimately curious where this Utopian matchmaking system you would prefer to see exists, and how exactly it works mechanically different from what's in OW2.

Yeah and now can't leave matches that are stomp. Leave lot of matches and be banned from 10 - 30 mins.
