Matchmaking is as bad as Overwatch
Hello,

I barely played the game so far, which makes it as obvious as is.
Until now I had not one singular fair match.
Either half of my team is having 2+ AFK players that move out of the base and back in like a bot trying to evade AFK kick or I am put in into absolute stomps.

I have yet to see just one single match where I am put into a match with real players that actually are "there" and on my level. If I had at least match where I was put into a team of high level players, I'd at least get somewhat convinced it's somewhat fairly distributed, but no. My team is low level and AFK or low level and absolutely braindead and always against level 40+ players while my whole team is below 15.

And with braindead I don't mean a new player that tries to find out how a char works, I am myself in that stage and I am still very bad. I am talking about literal braindead like walking blindly into a full enemy team while neither shooting or doing absolutely anything. Or walking around the map, never near the enemy. no matter how new you are, you can at least TRY to shoot or press any buttons.

I have absolutely no idea how I am supposed to either actually "play" this game in terms of doing real matches and with that being actually able to learn the game. There is absolutely nothing to learn from matches being absolute stomps for e-v-e-r-y single game.

Level means nothing. You can level-up by spamming bot games. No matter if someone plays for a week or one hour... bad will be bad. I have 40+ and my aim is like 20% Accuracy.

It's the laziest attempt to complain. See it in call of duty too. Dunno why ppl think levels mean anything.

Level does tell if a player is absolutely new (unless smurf) or plays already a while.
A new player, having 10 matches won't have level 40+

Not talking about competetive just normal games. Sure, a level 100 player can still be crap but doesn't mean you should match them with a sub level 20 player because they at least have some general knowledge about the game that a new player can not have.

Joined a game last night where after a round of koth My team had a single kill and it was by me who was playing jeff. I called out in chat how crazy the matchmaking is and the other team exploded on me. Trying to go as far as to say it was my fault and that i should uninstall. Im talking 3 other players just blew up at the mention the game might be one sided.

The game has some classes that if you dont counter pick will just walk over the objective.
And the fact the game sees the team odds as even remotely similar was insane.

And it really wont matter how good you get. When not if, you get a newer team you will lose. But its almost never a close match. most times its just one side destroying the team at the start and then picking off stragglers as they spawn. And with classes like spiderman or iron fist who are great at getting behind teams you are going to get spawn camped eventually. And if its an iron man you are out of luck if playing a class without range.

I am new to Hero Shooters. You played Overwatch. Level means nothing.

What matters is hidden MMR

MMR seems to reset daily.

Which is good because I've accumilated cursed MMR on OW2 where every QP game has to be a sweatfest.

Ive had a few good games in my 32 hours played. The rest are just complete stomps to the point of making me uninstall more then once. You eather snowball in ranked or just go onto the next. its really kinda boring and ret4rded TBH. And the game play is repetitive with no role que in place to let people play what they want and not have to try and fill to save the team. There's a reason other hero shooters took this path. Keep it as a option for weirdo's who like free pick. but the rest of us need a role picker. Cause 5 DPS will never win.

Your problem here is that your relying on the matchmaker to pick your teammates for you. You'll never get a reliable team regularly doing this, as the matchmaker is only guessing at what types of players you'd want on your team. It cannot read your mind, it goes off of stats of you and tries to pair you with random people that all hover around the same stats.

The only way you can reliable get good teams mates regularly is if you make friends, either in game, on discord or on boards like this, and start forming your own parties yourself.

this game will be dead in 6 months, i laugh at the people who spend money, it has the same issues that OW has, it is just a marvel IP, just enjoy it, it is a f2p game, if you not enjoying, move on to something else.

I mean, what do you expect, it to preform miracles?

this...........definitely isn't how the matchmaker works, LOL

Nah, Some of us don't have friends to play this with. I come from the MMO scene, So nobody really wants to touch this with a 10 foot pole on discord. So I'm stuck queing with rando's. it could at least match you with people who arnt 3 ranks level above you queing with there little brother or w/e.

Then be sure to enlighten me how it picks teammates for you. How does it know what type of teammates you want on your team? Ones that communicate. Ones that know what heroes your good at and will pick characters that work well together? I'd love to know!

Have you tried just asking for people to play with? You can always remove those who don't work out at any given moment. I've already gotten 20+ friends on my list in game, just trying to get more now because they're not always active when I am on.

It isn't hard at all, and the little bit of effort you put into it can really pay out and make it better in the long run. It's totally worth the effort.

You are not reading or understanding my words.
I don't ask for "perfect teammates" or anything near that.

I am argueing about that the game put me always into absolute stomps with players much higher than everything the same matching puts into my team. Every match was like (trying to add other words to make it easier to understand what I am talking about) putting new players (first graders) up against professionals (grown adult teamplayers).

I am not asking for anything big. All I want is NOT being put against players which even the dumbest algorythm understands my team has no chance against.

I don't want to get carries, I don't want free wins (stomps from my team) or anything alike.

Dunno how I can word it differently (sorry ESL), maybe someone else can word it a bit better for me but I tried to make it as simple as possible.
