Ball main checking in who has hit grandmaster basically every season since OW2 came out. I recently returned from a ~2 month hiatus and I have never had such a horrible matchmaking experience in my multiple thousands of hours of play time. Did the matchmaking change or something?

First thing I noticed since returning is the sheer amount of consolation matches I’ve queued into. I’ve never had this many lopsided games in my entire career. Ball is a tank that suffers immensely from team outliers so it’s hit me especially hard. Consolation matches mixed with the calibrations after not having played a while had me drop from GM5 at start of season ALL THE WAY TO DIAMOND 1/MASTERS 5!!!!

Reflecting on these matches, it’s honestly been funny as hell how unbalanced these games have been. Was also entertaining playing a D1 match with “grandmaster tank” title from last season. But I’m starting to question my sanity. I’m used to big swings in ranks and not worried about climbing back, just wanted to ask the community if they’ve had similar experiences this season.

I just had like 3 games as dps hitscan going like 2 and 10. I've always been solid at grounded fps games and can genuinely run a lobby in cod or battlefield. For the life of me I can't hit a thing. I can hit shots fine on other games. Do yall find the same thing?

Is anyone else having issues? I have been queuing for an hour and can't get a match. I've even been trying quickplay and i can't get into a match?

Daily notifications at this point , QP plat diamond it doesn't matter anymore.

The player is not me btw.

(I am reposting this because the clip had my voice in it and I hated that!) I don’t care if people are tired of posts like these! I don’t care if people don’t believe me! You must acknowledge there are FAR too many clips for this to be faked or something that is my fault. Console needs to be FIXED! Whether my connection is wired or not. No matter how much I troubleshoot it this still happens. I was also in a call while playing. The call didn’t lag I could hear him speaking clear as day and he could hear me. With this combined with the matchmaking console has been absolutely unplayable. I don’t understand what to do! I don’t have pc I could just swap over to. I’ve watched people in my games they’ll be walking around and instantly disconnect. They’d be playing just fine then POOF! The constant micro-stuttering during matches! FIX THIS! I am done with this until it PROPERLY gets fixed. I am done because I still got a penalty for this and I don’t want a ban on my account.

I’m also sorry for those playing on old gen consoles because I know half of the time you don’t even load in! Or you’ll be stuck on one screen until you are kicked.

Although we all diss overwatch. I can't help but admit I would not be the same if I didn't grow up with this game.

it has helped me through the toughest times of my life much love blizzard

I read that on pc you can have a perk you want for a specific hero (e.g. your main is venture and you always chose deep burrow) automatically chosen when its unlocked instead of having to open the perk options and chose it. Is this the perk quick select option on console, a different setting, or is it not possible?

Has anyone had trouble with false bans lately?

This is the second time my account gets banned from comp for cheating, the thing is I play on my normal ps5 controller and haven't even played comp ever since the first banned got removed, still got banned just a few days again and I cant even appeal my ban. Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Awkward just made a console vs PC stream:

- Diamond PC beat Diamond Console 3-0
- Diamond PC beat Masters console 3-1

We are never beating the allegations 😭.
/s

Fun games to watch regardless

And that's indeed frustrating...

So I've only seen it once so far in the game I just played but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it before. So before the game even started when we were doing the map vote it said our team had 10 votes!? Then the other team had 3 votes. Everyone had voted ilios but there were only 6 people on each team. Then at the end of the game when mvp gets voted on my team it was me and one other person. As soon as the mvp page loaded it said they had 6 votes. But after a few seconds of everyone in my team voting I had 5 votes. Then the other team one of them had 4 votes and the other person had 2. That would total to 17 votes?!?! There's only 12 players!!!!

Has anyone else seen someone hack the votes before?

👀

Every game is just two hitscan, whichever groundslop tank is meta at that point, and then it's just up to the matter of if your supports decide to throw the game or not by not picking any of the three dead weight characters. Any variety feels like an instant loss, any attempt to play a style that isn't similar to Bloons Tower Defense 5 leads to you getting called a thrower, it's all just lame. I thought I was the problem, I played other roles (support is pretty fun if you don't play like a bot), I tried other heroes but if I want to win, I've gotta play Mauga/DMon/Ram etc. Soldier/Ashe/Cass. I feel like there used to be much more variety in what was strong in years prior. Is anyone else feeling this way or do I just need to uninstall and find a different game?

I play this game casually and load into qp for chill matches.

Half of quickplay console matches have freshies sweating their cheeks off to get 50 quickplay wins with high enough mmr to place grandmaster.

This makes quickplay completely miserable for anybody casual, I have games with freshies on each team having massive ego battles in the chat "I smurf your peak" "ai lobby" "dm for boost". I start taking the match extra competitive because there is likely a cheating smurf on the opposite team trying to unlock ranked.

I wouldn't make a post like this if I didn't meet sweating freshies in half my matches, today alone ive met tens of these guys. It's asif I'm loading into the get abused by freshies for 15 minutes mode when I'm supposed to be loading into the chill mode.

I don't mind being rolled, I don't mind getting a complete baby on my team and losing, I don't mind actual high rank players chilling in quickplay. But as soon as I'm in the lobby with a player that actually has a competitive reason to win this match as quick and brutal as possible it becomes stupid. Especially since most of these players are complete egotistical high ranked losers who are quick to tell you they smurf your peak inside quickplay.

This whole 50 wins system caused this, I want harsher bans and phone numbers to create accounts. Thoughts?

Rivals players. Learn how to regroup. Stop ulting after the entire team has died. You arent killing 4 people on your own.

Pay attention to the fucking kill feed. Realize if you are fighting in 5v5 and your tank / main support is dead early into the fight and the other team still has everyone. The fight is over 99.999% of the time. Literally turn around and walk back to your player. Instead of fighting for another 30 seconds. Inevitably fucking dying then everyone is waiting on you.

Idk how the fuck these players are in my elo when they don't even understand the most basic principles of a hero shooter. Its NEVER been this fucking abysmal. Like oh my God this shit is insane to solo Q. Push maps. Just instant Ls. Tanks panic ulting while literally in a 2v5. Holy fucking shit its actually insane how brain dead these people are. Like cant even play the game properly to even have a proper team fight. Its just stagger after stagger. Just holding their fucking left stick forward thinking they can kill the whole backline by themselves.

THIS IS NOT MARVEL RIVALS. YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN. ok im done. holy fuck

I'm having some serious movement issues since the update. It's making me borderline motion sick to play and I can't get a good game in. My settings all seem to be the same and I can't quite figure out what's happened. Anyone else experiencing something like this?
