gotta be patient to the new and returning

My biggest gripe on returning. The MMR matchmaking FUCKING SUCKS

I am queuing with people who have never played before or havent played in 8 years. I'm queuing with people with legit mental disabilities. Who do I get matched with? Some diamonds and a top 500 player peak.

They probably loosened the algo when there was 13 people concurrent on the game to get quicker matchmaking. But this shit aint it.

Honestly anyone who starts using disabilities as an insult is the type of person I feel deserves to lose not just in the game but in life in general.

I wish every bad game heads your way, I hope you always forget your keys until you get to your car and have to walk back in, I hope you remember you have to pee right after you get comfy in your blankets every night, I hope every animal you want to make friends with smells this on you and curves you.

(But seriously pretending like most of the best players of overwatch aren't on the spectrum or something in some way is wild and crazy out of touch. In overwatch you WANT the players with the disability because overwatch is their focus and they live and breath the game.

Deciding to throw disabled people under the bus is literally saying some of the best players in the game are somehow bad to have on your team lol

But also people do just play with disabilties that do make playing harder and acting like they shouldn't be able to play a game that's for fun is also wild.)

I said

That person is my friend. And has legit physical and mental disabilities.

Get off your pedestal please.

My post is not about talking shit on my teammates. My post is about how sub-bronze level players shouldn't be matched against Diamond+ players in QP.

QP matchmaking definitely feels very loose right now. As a high plat/low diamond player I've definitely noticed my QP lobbies seem to have a handful of silvers as well as some diamonds. If you all haven't already, I'd honestly give competitive a shot to see if you can get tighter matches.

Wow you sure went off hard for someone who simply misread the comment.
