@Caluka1337 You don't improve from being vaporized instantly by incredibly better players than you. You just get frustrated. New players coming into the game don't care about getting better and want to play as they are but if they get instantly taken out by some sweaty tryhard, it will simply turn them off from the game. You seem to believe that matchmaking only favors the one that try to better themselves all the time when it's actually not the case. Also, you talk like matchmaking only puts you against a twin of yours (in terms of skill) when it is not the case. It puts people of SIMILAR skill level. You will then have people slightly less good against slightly better players (in a perfect matchmaking) which will them keep things challenging but give a fair chance to everyone and the less experienced will learn from it unlike if they get instantly roasted. Finally, because you experienced bad matchmaking in OW then it must mean it will be bad in all other games? Is that your argument?

To be fair, the matchmaking in Overwatch is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. It should not be used as any sort of benchmark for accurate/good matchmaking but rather an example of what not to do.
@Mechdemon I would agree with that. In OW there would be times where I would be half drunk and our team would still ROFLstomp the enemy team, othertimes even if I was trying to win our team would be getting the noobs and we would be decimated in mere minutes. The matchmaking in OW really felt like there was no matchmaking at all.

problem with overwatch is not matchmaker itself but the stat it is based on, the hidden mmr, issue with it is when you do too good, better than average stats with that hero on that map at that sr your mmr skyrockets and the game starts expecting you to carry the game and will actively start to sabotage you with low mmr players in your team so the hidden mmr averages out between both teams and if you are playing a hero or role that cant carry you are *, and will stay * even when losing 20 games in a row if you leave your mmr high with high stats. you can cheat the system with doing * like mostly dps moira and get from silver to platinum easily as your average heal will stay under 10k per 10min and game will reward your bad behaviour with better teammates. granted you need to do good as dps moira still.

So how is it for League of Legends then. Because that feels like the most competitive game I ever played in my life. Meaning almost every match seems very balanced and sporting.
I also think Titanfall 2 has a great matchmaker. Usually always close matches in that game even though it has such a low playerbase and extremely wide skill gap. Respawn did a good job there don't see why they can't do the same here.
I've never had long queues even in titanfall 2.
