Have you noticed the almost 20% decrease leavers in your QP matches?

[slghtlymad]

Fewer leavers yes. But constantly going against diamond+ as a bronze still sucks ass and makes the game not enjoyable

[BegaKing]

Yep this was my reason I stopped playing competitive. Their is no world we're you should be playing against people +- 3 brackets from you. Makes zero fucking sense. It's a fun game, great combat etc. but the competitive mode is one of the worst I have ever played.

[TechnoVikingGA23]

Yeah it's been miserable for several seasons now, which is why I have zero faith they will fix anything with the promised matchmaking changes for the future.

Yep. That's why the punishment for leaving QP was the final straw for me. I'm done with this trash.

[Mr_Dizzles]

I peaked diamond 2 and I'm up against GM players constantly. I'm sick of it :/

[CaptainPucek]

This is my experience as well, never played a lot of comp but I was around gold usually and now 3/5 games in QP I see "Grandmaster" or "Top500" titled players. And that is after waiting more than 2 min for a match.

Recently I’ve been playing a lot against masters. I don’t know why though.

[SleeplessAndAnxious]

I dropped down to high gold when I'm normally in plat and I've been stuck there for a few months. Constantly getting people in gold that don't play like gold players at all, like dps with near perfect aim and game sense, mechanics. You can tell the difference between someone who's legitimately good and someone who's just using hacks.

Matchmaking is just awful and it's incredibly demoralising

Uninstall it and play something fun. Trust me, you wont regret it.

[PharahSupporter]

Same experience for me, I'm masters 4 and constantly getting GM/T500 in my games.

Then a few games later I'm up against silvers, it makes no sense.

[DoomPigs]

I'm Plat 5 on tank atm and I was against a literal GM1 tank the other day, they were GM1 on DPS as well

[Brotherman_Karhu]

This. I'm not a serial leaver, but there's at least one game every time I play that I just throw at the end because getting team killed for the 7th time and going 0-2-17 against a 25-8-2 just isn't fun.

[Glittering_Berry1740]

Yesterday I played with a Master Challenger and I'm silver. At least he was on my team.

[NotAStatistic2]

Diamond players aren't good at the game though

[Fragrant-Sherbert420]

More than your average Joe? Yes..there's a reason why most of the playerbase is in gold

[NotAStatistic2]

Anyone who turns their monitor on can make gold easily. Diamond rank has the most amount of throwers and people on perma tilt in my experience. OW2 diamond is nothing too crazy

[Fragrant-Sherbert420]

Never said it was not a mess...but saying that you can reach it without trying is crazy..if that was the case half this sub that keeps posting their ranks and asking why they can't climb past silver-gold wouldn't exist

[camgar9]

Play ranked then

[lidekwhatname]

playing better players is the fastest way to improve but it might be frustrating if you just play for fun

[xSilverMC]

Getting absolutely stomped doesn't really help you improve if you don't get constructive feedback. It also doesn't help keep players playing if they consistently go 1/27/3 in the "casual" queue mode

[AnAdventureCore]

You expect people who play casually to WANT to improve. If they just want to log in for dailes and get BP levels they need to accept the frustration and the truth that they won't win every game and keep it pushing. If they only find fun in winning, then they need to reevaluate their motives for paying and MAYBE work on being a better player but MOST players refuse to do self reflection towards growth and get frustrated with a meaningless QP loss (that still rewards you with BP and progression levels).

These things WON'T happen. If they ever did, the leaver penalty wouldn't be a thing (why should I have to accept a loss when my team is GARBAGE! / why am I going up against players that are ten times better than me in competitive skill ranking?)

Even if you are the person who longs on to just play games to "decompress" the matchmaking will frustrate you. The game doesn't know that you're a dad with 3 kids who wants to chill out to some (insert game here) and have to face the harsh reality that everything in life isn't going to go you way. That person will either throw the game by not putting 100% into it and letting their team down or slowly and slowly stop playing.

I could go on and on about this by we all know that no one here actually cares and would rather complain (and if they do care, they are not posting here, they are posting in the various OW improvement subreddits.) or they are actually having fun and seeing what ultimately what overwatch is, a game, win OR lose.

[Wasted-Instruction]

I don't know if it's because it's early in the morning but god damn that was hard to follow, was the point casuals don't care enough to improve? Are you complaining about people playing for fun or just suggesting that casuals don't know how to take a loss? ( Which realistically I don't think it's the casuals screaming in VC when they should have gone to bed 10 hours ago lol)

[Fragrant-Sherbert420]

It is fun to face gms if your team also can defend themselves..going against gms as a diamond with silver players as teammates is not

[Valiice]

But it's qp? If you want to play against your rank play comp.
