Any skill based matchmaking?
I ask this, because one of overwatch's strengths is playing against people of relative skill, it would be cool if this game has some logic for this...

The problem is that People like me and my friends Who are 30+ years old that we have being playing video games since the Atari or NES but that rigth now we have Jobs and family to take cate of, we cant play in a regular basis perhaps 1 our per Day if we are Lucky, we cant compite against People Who have already 200+ hours of game play, we cant inprove as fast as this youngters and is frustating that we love the game but is getting boring because 90% of the time is the same result, please EA think about us first generation gamers that dont have the time anymore to practice a lot but love video games.
Sick and tired of being matched against 1000+ kill no lifers who have no jobs and just sit at home all day playing games it gets boring as hell MMR needs to come and soon these so called pros can then go and kill eachother.
How do people complain about mmr in this BR but every other BR I've played literally doesn't have any MMR either? I mean...what? lol. Also do you know how crap waiting in que would become with mmr? Right now the games would be fast cause of all the players but as the numbers decline and become more stable to people who actually are going to fully dedicate MM is going to take a few minutes at a time to find especially with everyone in different divisions. It's like high tier LoL it takes WAY longer to find a match then when your in silver/gold. Game is suppose to be fast paced and quick not sit and wait especially when you can be taken out almost immediately.
Trust me though I felt the same way considering this was my first BR except pubg but I hated pubg and almost NEVER played it. So when people who've lived on BR's or other fast paced games wrecked me I felt horrid but I just kept playing and watching streamers, learning good movement which guns/attachments to go for and now I can handle myself much better, my aim is getting smoother better lasering. It'll suck but honestly dedicate a full day 8-12 hours and by the next day you'll be insanely better.
If you say well you don't have time for that, then you can't really complain that you get wrecked? You play for fun while the others are playing more competitively or for a stream so they need to be good and streamers make a living off of it (good ones anyway) But whats the point of MMR if you don't plan on every progressing anyway? Most games with an MMR system have rank decay and if your not pushing those long hours even if you manage to hit a high rank you'll still get destroyed because most people there put in WAY more hours overall unless your just a natural that somehow turned into a god. Because obviously ranks cap at some point right? There aren't unlimited ranks.
Also I'm sure they'll be adding all different kinds of modes for people later on, the game is still in it's baby stages. You guys need to relax and just chill out for awhile. This will probably be closer to 3-6 months of work in progress before THOSE kinds of changes come, we'll likely get solo's/duo's before anything MMR related if EVER get anything MMR related.
WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE IN THE GAME, is a practice mode where you can just invite a bunch of your friends to run around the map, learn spots/flanks/practice aim. Maybe even have a respawn in the practice mode so that you don't have to restart when you guys kill each other maybe even a firing range similiar to the tutorial but with moving targets (randomly generated movement) Maybe bots? Where you can change difficulty or set them to no aggro so you can just focus on lasering/aiming.
- adding a map with like 5-10s raspawn on a ship with weapons and white attachments so new players in game/BR can learn weapon mechanics and aiming could help to prepare them for BR game.
first BR i play and liked it, would pay for that mode if needed.
This could train players for the real game/avoid new players get devastated in the first minute/ keep pro players safe from being teamed with new players with no knowlege/avoid to make huge queues because of ELO for low populated ELO ratings.
you feel you are prepared: BR
you feel you need practice: yolo

umm. stopped reading after no other BR has mmr. Pubg has skill match making. Even region locks. And respawn does such a great job with titanfall 2's matchmaker. They could probably do one way better then pubg.
- PUBG's matchmaking is prioritizing speed. Last time I checked I had 99% skill spread in almost every game.
