I'm making this post because I like the game and I care if it gets better or not but I actually am struggling to describe just how apathetic this game is making me. I have 1200 hours in this game on my main account. Diamond every rank in role queue in OW1 and I think this matchmaking is what is finally going to make me stop playing. The game itself is actually quite fun but this matchmaking is just beyond frustrating.

I'm in Role Queue DPS in Silver just from having not really played much of it in OW2 beyond calibration in S1 and now? I've had GM's on my team and top 500's on the enemy team. I've had Moira teammates with 1700 healing TOTAL across two rounds. I've had bronze players, silver, gold, you name it. One game I had a Winston main discover Winstons new right click ability IN THE GAME because he didnt have that button bound before and someone happened to mention him not using it...

These games are either complete stomps where I could go afk and still win or they are just uncarryable. I'm quite a good Widow player and some of the Widows and Hanzos I go against make me look like I've never played the game before. In Silver. 40 kills and <10 deaths Widow players. In Silver. Right....

I check a lot of career profiles and there's a lot of players on my team that have ~180 hours played or less. How the fuck are they getting matched with people multiple tiers above them with 1000 hours? Every time I get to ~5/7 wins the games start becoming completely unwinnable and I'm still in Silver! I used to carry games in Gold/Plat as support and now I can't do it as DPS in Silver? The teammates are so fucking toxic too it's insane. OW was never actually as toxic as other competitive games I've played like COD, Rocket League or Dota but this matchmaking is making sure nobody actually has fun and everyone is bitter and hateful as a result.

There's no in game LFG to make fun OR tryhard groups with now. Theres just shite matchmaking, shite gameplay combined with complete silence or horrendous toxicity.

I think I might be done with OW. I quit Dota 2 after 6500 hours, this might be my time to bow out from OW. I truly wish it were better or showed any signs of becoming better but I have no hope left. I think I just have to accept that the OW I loved is gone. Sadtimes.
