The funny thing is that I obtain far more enjoyment and play longer when the players in the matches are close in skill level to mine, even if I end up losing. Losing doesn't bother me at all. Getting lasered by a 3 stack of preds playing an arenas or pubs match like it were the ALGS bothers me. Getting beamed by a stimmed Octane pulling tap strafes like crazy and yet magically hitting all his shots bothers me. Those are the things that make me log out. No idea where their whole "pairing up beginners to get carried by TTVs is a great idea" shtick comes from.
