I feel like a lot of these games do random stuff like that to try to keep player numbers up. Honestly I think most people would be fine with maybe having it bracketed to like 3 skill levels or something. Me personally I say just have it be truly random, but regardless this is artificial as heck.
Sure, there is cases where your team gets an ai as well, but happens rarely and mostly if the game is unable to fill in the blanks of players joining up the AI Quickplay mode.
I know OW2 is free, but there's a reason I uninstalled it. The game is a shadow of its former self, no hero feels fun to play anymore, and Blizzard has completely trashed the game. It's just a skin and collab money farm now. Like I said at the end of my post Rivals definitely has the superior gameplay imo but bad matchmaking. I really want to stay with this game because it can be fun, but the matchmaking is a huge roadblock to that fun.
also, wait, why am I a whiner for making a valid criticism of one of the game's systems? I mean I certainly yapped in my post but the point still stands.
So when I queue up in quick play, The game gives me the weakest opponents possible to make me happy because it's an easy win. And boy is it fun killing so many bambies
You have to know it will happen in every hero shooter( Im not playing another shooter genre for long), bad/good rows, trolls, boosted, smurfing, afk, toxic and so on.
No algoritm can fight this. Im not the better player and i got gm 3d already as solo q.
Half of my lost games are due team, some of them are by my bad performance, playing tilted, sleepy, etc.
weak players or low level bots? a lot of ppl have been saying its bots. wether its true or not... i dunno i just played a match with a punisher and he seemed like he was just preprogrammed to do stuff so... maybe?
but either way, i agree with the idea that the matchmaking should change.
I always say random would actually be a lot more balanced. Even back before that we had Quake and UT dedicated servers. No matchmaking, no ranks. If the teams were unbalanced you would switch with someone. Games always felt fair and balanced. People would still get diffed obviously, but you'd always have at least one good person on each team.
sir... im not even old and seeing the word quake and having played it just made me feel old. here's a heart.
I wish I could send screenshots here but yeah, it's real. I can at least go into detail on all the ways to sus it out:
Things I didn't mention before: They'll play in very odd ways, such as Jeffs who get entire teams in their ult, but then wander around aimlessly despite being next to a cliff. Adam Warlocks who ult with nobody to revive. Characters that, with no indication you're near them, suddenly snap 180 degrees and aim directly at your position without fail. They also swap heroes in very predictable patterns, usually a total of 2-3 times per match and they tend to swap to the same role they're already on.
Things I did mention before: The names almost always follow a recognizable pattern, such as a name followed by two letters. RubyCL, DonaldWr, or they'll sometimes follow other patterns and otherwise just have very odd (but altogether similar) names. You'll notice they never talk - whether you question if they're real or try starting a conversation. They're extremely easy to kill - usually they only get 1 or 2 kills when you fight them. When you try viewing their profile it gives you an error, or the option is grayed out.
You DO have a replay ID of bots in a match, don't you?
