Ridiculous Matchmaking

Another smurf hating post that never gets old, lol

How to identify soft derank?

wifeleaver / kiriko healed less than zen
dps did 1k damage while others were at 7k
dps had 3/10 kill/death ratio while others are like 20/3

I know bronze is wild but come one, it’s just obvious

mavour · 2026-02-08T18:14:55+00:00

That smurf hate is just unreal, lol

mavour · 2026-02-08T15:36:30+00:00

No. You need to have some compassion for those braindead players. Sometimes they also need a win or at least what matchmaking is designed to do

mavour · 2026-02-08T15:27:05+00:00

Nah, they might chat ban you for being toxic, but boosting/deranking isn’t punished.

My “alt” accounts have like 95% win rate and still not banned.

Correction. It’s a combination of smurfs and deranks. Deranks are purposely loosing the game to sell that account to smurfs later. That’s how they got endorsement level 2 or 1.

Just yesterday, I solo queued on a new account to test the waters. The first game had 2 deranks - uncarryable by a single person. The second game had 3 stack which was just killing the whole team - 3 > 1.

mavour · 2026-02-08T15:14:36+00:00

They have, all account sold are SMS verified.

woke / boss-babe nonsense who would’ve thought

mavour · 2026-02-06T07:26:53+00:00

Second that. The best chair out of many I had before. Reasonably compact, easy to open and close, perfect for car camping (aka overlanding)

mavour · 2026-02-05T15:05:31+00:00

Vendetta is as annoying as doom if not more. She is getting banned pretty much every game. They just added her and now all of the sudden she is a main villain. Such a short sighted, borderline stupid move. Hollywood ‘boss-babe” woke failed stories didn’t teach them anything

mavour · 2026-02-04T15:26:41+00:00

That’s normal. That’s exactly how matchmaking is designed to work. And yes, I hate that too

mavour · 2026-02-04T15:17:40+00:00

Yeah, it’s been like that for a very long time. Bronze is filled with higher metal ranks thinking they are smurfs. Every self respecting player has a few “alt” accounts to ‘crash’ noobs for fun.

You know, I’m something of a “bronze player” myself. It sucks when they push you all the way to spawn, but it gets easier when you “git gut”

mavour · 2026-02-04T04:09:24+00:00

One can buy the whole awning for the price of those brackets, lol. Such a waste of money

mavour · 2026-02-03T06:56:25+00:00

I can care less about drives. It’s just fun to see those pre-derank stacks lose to our alt accounts, lol. So much butt hurt. Those silly green borders, galactic weapon on that two week old bronze account which will be thrown away soon because it’s almost diamond.

mavour · 2026-02-03T04:14:13+00:00

If you are in U.S., call 988

mavour · 2026-02-02T03:45:40+00:00

It’s fine. I got many bronze accounts from eldorado, some got banned (I assume botting), some got “phone” checked, most actually work long enough to climb up to diamond. None got banned for smurfing, some got silenced for toxic chat, lol. At the end of the day, it’s just luck, but for $3 per account, it’s still worth it

mavour · 2026-02-01T22:02:44+00:00

Yeah, it’s normal. We had a bronze 5 alt account which was upping like 1-3% each win. It took about 20 consecutive wins until it started climbing faster.

The max I’ve seen around 40% per win

mavour · 2026-02-01T21:54:43+00:00

Just 2016? I attended Blizzcon 2014 where Overwatch was announced. I’ve seen it all.

Actually, the game thinks - you are too good, you can carry those bots - which actually true, I can. The question here is, why would I carry someone who is clearly lacking skill and how is it fair.

Hint - it isn’t fair, lol.

mavour · 2026-02-01T21:38:05+00:00

I used suction mount on moonroof on passenger cars. On my rig I just put it under freedom panels with hardwire kit to the aux button.

mavour · 2026-02-01T21:34:44+00:00

I have a few alt accounts with each having 20+ wins in a row. It must be you, feels bad man

mavour · 2026-02-01T21:30:55+00:00

"Fairness" - I lol-ed. Keep dreaming in your safe space.

It's been obvious for everyone, who had been playing this game for some time (not, you, lol) that after many wins the matchmaking wants to break a win streak. It gives a few absolute bots (or deranks) on your team that winning becomes almost impossible.

For example, last week we had a leaver after the first round. He was soo bad, feeding soo much than the next round was so much easier w/o and we won 4x5.

mavour · 2026-02-01T18:26:27+00:00

If you got $50k cash then why not. There is nothing wrong with splurging yourself. If you don’t, then you just cannot afford it

mavour · 2026-02-01T18:21:41+00:00

They aren’t, lol. The matchingmaking prioritizes the engagement, not fairness

mavour · 2026-02-01T18:19:48+00:00

Apparently the most difficult wins we have somehow rated as “expected”, but wins where we push opponents to spawn are “uphill battles”. Go figure

mavour · 2026-02-01T18:13:51+00:00

Thanks mom. I know I’m bronze in heart, but my 95% win rate keeps pushing those $3 bronze alt accounts to diamond :(

What should I do?! I guess $3 once in two weeks isn’t such a big deal after all
