GM vs BRONZE.....really?!?!

[AbduktedTemplar]

QP should not put GM players against Bronze players. It is quite a bad time. Please consider gutter tier players and don't make us play against GrandMaster players. It's super not fun getting dunked on by GM level players.

to a degree quickplay matchmaking is skill based. Im bronze 3 because I have never played quickplay, but I have two lord level characters and im like lv 44 i think. So yeah, the bronze 3 tag in quickplay doesnt mean Im some unskilled noob, and im sure there are many people out there who simply dont play competitive. If you are seeing GM players in you quickplay it may simply mean that there is some players in your lobby with very high win rates.

Certainly I agree that brand new players should not be matched against high skilled players, currently though I believe if they are there are likely low and high skilled players on both teams.

bro i just lost 3 matches in a row with GM3 and diamond players on their side, silver bronze and maybe gold on my side. It seems they stopped doing bot matches in QP without saying anything but this is almost worse. gm v bronze is basically a hacker vs somebody learning to use a controller or m&K for the first time. it's a cruel joke to start a match you think you could win when you never had a chance based on known player mmr

dang, i had hoped the bot match business was over. If they are going to keep it, they should at least be honest about it.

This is true, same goes for bots in quick play as well. I have 6 characters as centurion and i rarely play ranked. I got 2 bots and 3 new players who were less than level 10, i checked after match ended. Those bots absolutely destroyed my random team. I just wanted to learn magik but had to switch to Vanguard just to fight all the bots alone.
People complain about bots in quick play but even those those bots play better than majority of teams as you level up.

Most of the Diamond and GM people I run into in QP are genuinely terrible. Just farm them then go next.

Depends. Does this game have some sort of MMR (even if looser) in QP similar to Overwatch?

If so, then it doesn't matter what their rank in Competitive is, if they're consistently on a hero they play badly on, their MMR will be close to yours.

Atleast that's what it was like in overwatch. I used to check peoples stats after every game and i found that people don't play their best heroes in QP. A GM Mercy in Competitive can also be a Bronze Genji in Quickplay. If their MMR is low enough to get matched with you, that means he's always on Genji.

Honestly not surprised. One time in Overwatch, i was pretty proud of myself for constantly soloing the enemy team. Until i checked their stats and realized all of them, including the tank, were mercy mains. You can have 12 people in the game and often times, only one or two of them is on a hero they're actually good at.

Shouldn't matter wither you win or lose in quickplay, so I don't see the problem honestly. It'll be over quickly regardless then you all can move on to being matched up with other people.

This is a non issue....

It's because not caring about normal matches, i go in there first timing chars. Only people who care about this are scared to que ranked

I have noticed this as well. I have played against GM and Diamond when I am doing my warmup matches in QP before rank. I'm gold at the moment and I have absolutely ♥♥♥♥ on some diamond + players. I never thought of myself as that "amazing" or anything, but I do check occasionally the replays and the scoreboard. Rank in this game really doesn't feel as "important" as an indicator of skill as it does in other games tbh.

There is no sbmm in quick play. Only in ranked. Sbmm needs to be in quick play and the only people who dissagree, are the people who exploit that to dumpster on low elo players because be damned if they have to play against people their own skill level. The whole " I dont want to sweat in qp bs" I think lower elo players are having a worse time trying to practice new heroes, and try and improve whilst going against high elo players in a gd stacked group

[THAT Guy]

This is what happens when you use a fundamentally flawed matchmaking system that players can exploit.

Players will exploit it and this is an example of what it leads too..

The developer isn't going to do anything about it as removing matchmaking ablity to be exploited, also removes its ablity to serve as a marketing tool.

So you have 3 options..

Cope, learn grow and improve as a player, or start exploiting matchmaking too
