Did they break matchmaking in quick match?

[Rolut]

I'm level 42, i reached dia last season and do quick matches to pass time sometimes
But its miserable, more than once do I have teammates under or around lvl 10. Obv they are still learning the game, nothing wrong with that, but why are they in lobbies with ppl way above their expierence? Its frustrating for everyone, either my team steam rolls ppl not even knowing the map layouts or characters they picked or its my team who gets steam rolled. Is match making broken? Are higher lvl ppl only playing comp? Didnt have that problem last season thats why I ask

yeah they reset the matchmaking in qp too so it'll take a lot of games before you start getting put in matches closer to your skill.

Quickplay seems to be matching very good and very bad players together which leads to boring games that are a complete waste of time. There needs to be some hidden MMR for quickplay. Just have wider match threshold than ranked.

I think it goes off of win rate but can't be 100%.
So until everyone has played a lot of games it's nigh worthless bit like rankings, it would be better if they didn't reset qp mm every season.

Thing is right now there are a lot of new players so they could get away with keeping the sub lvl 20's all together and mm would still be quick. as the game gets older though they will have to be put in any game they can find.
It probably wouldn't be so bad if the lobby didn't kick everyone at the end of the match. People would learn quicker probably be nicer to each other ect.

I literally played against ML7, Necros in Quickplay yesterday….. I’ve never played a ranked game in my life. 😂 had to check their streams to be sure

quickplay is abysmal right now, I don't know what changed but yeah season 0 qp was more fun

Quick play pulls players from a wider range to ensure games are always being played. It's not like rank where you typically face player the same rank or inside a rank range. Also QP uses bots when not enough players are playing to reduce wait times.
I'm sorry OW in it's glory days never had I mean NEVER had 1 sec wait times for QP and 3 sec wait times for comp. I'm starting to think bots are also in comp games. Play a game it's fine, next game I get 3 dps that get 1 kill and die 10+ times. No way these are players playing the game

looking at the players on the scoreboard now n then looks like average playtime of a lot of people I have played with / against & I looked at was sub 20h

Ever since they added viewing names before the match starts, I've noticed in Quickmatch I've been matching against players who have the GM crest from Season 0. I only started playing competitive in Season 1 to avoid the bot lobbies, but this is too much. It does explain why some games feel like complete stomps.

On a side note, Overwatch also had this issue, so nothing is perfect.
