It seems one of the matchmaking tactics used is if you are in a game and your team gets reamed, they will switch a player or two with the other team, and the system will continue to do that until teams balance, of course leavers can throw that off, but that has been my observation.


Yeah they rebalance the teams between full game sets, but people almost always leave between them so it rarely matters.

Remember that this game is brand new
It will be at least a month before people are starting to sort into a proper scale of skill levels.

You can't expect people to just magically be placed in correct ELO as if Blizzard knows how good you are at the game before you even play it.
You and the OP seem to completely miss this concept.


it only takes around 100 games (according to Blizzard, when talking about their MOBA) to find a good estimate of your mmr. Hell, in SC2 it only takes 30-40.

The games been out for 3 days so far and I am already seeing people with 300+ games. I personally have over 200 games played. Something tells me it won't take more than a week or two before the system gets a healthy majority of players at or near their correct mmr.

Even when new seasons start for games like LoL/HotS/SC2 and everyone starts over it still only takes a few days to sort itself out....somehow you seem to completely miss this concept.

You realize those games don't hard reset... those are soft resets where the players still start spread out based on their previous season's MMR.
Awful example. lol

I've got almost 200 games and I'm still seeing both dog shit (like wtf totally useless) players and amazing ones (like solo our whole team with tracer)

SC2 did hard resets in WoL when I played and got GM. IIRC there was only 5 placement matches....and then if you were top tier you would play about 10-15 more games before you started getting good ones. This was the first 2 years of SC2 when it was insanely popular like OW is right now too.

The reason you are seeing dog shit and amazing players in the same game is more likely either A. people of VASTLY different skill levels are playing together (Like I do with my awful brother most nights) or B. Overwatch has the same matchmaking as HotS (to some degree) where it will purposely put a low mmr shitcan on the team of a high mmr player to average out the TEAM mmr of both sides.

The only other scenario is that we are all arguing over nothing cause the fuckin trolls at Blizzard didn't even put in matchmaking yet.....but somehow I feel like that isn't very likely.

I get so frustrated when we lose man. I'm at around 60% but it's hard because every other game I get matched with nitwits.

solo is awful, partied even with 1 other person seems to be most fair matchmaking. Everytime I solo i'm the only person above level 20 on my team vs all level 20-30's. First time i tried solo q was today and personally i'm done with it lol.

"Every time I solo"

Nice sample pool

I saw a brown apple once. All apples are brown, bro.
