Why is it so hard to get good teammates?
As the title says. Why? I literally just got out of a game with an octane, and while we did survive me-second to last circle, octane-last circle- it was not that fruitful of a game. We barely sto...

@InkBlaze02Huh?
No offense but this is almost the opposite of the truth. It is widely acknowledged that if you are ABOVE average, the algorithm will INTENTIONALLY give you under-average teammates.
The key here is our consideration of the term “under-average”.
If matchmaking were random, people would get average teammates ON AVERAGE; this is how math and the law of averages work.
But this isn’t what’s happening. The game absolutely is intentionally handicapping above average players by giving them new and or lower skilled teammates.
The only proven way to win more than average is to be Master/Pred and to play with similarly skilled teammates.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 makes you wonder, when is it that SBMM decides to match you with an equal, or above your skill ceiling player, cause as of now, I'm never matched with a master or pred player, but always with two lower skilled players.
How many games do I have to lose before I'm the one being babysat by a higher end player, cause it seems like that is never the case lol

- @Gabrielmojo26 I always get matched with very low skilled players and low levels, until I have lost about 8 to 10 matches. When I say "lost" - I mean destroyed, first person I come across and first shots fired....Hi Lobby.
Once I get wasted 8 - 10 matches, I usually get a 20 bomb 4k badge pro as a teammate (duos).
And sometimes that match is actually worse than the 8 to 10 prior....depending on what makes a good game for someone.
I love how the system thinks, this poor guy just got his a*s handed to him...lets cut him a break and give him a good match, here is a master/pred as a teammate. This will help how??And speaking from personal experience - on average, Octanes are the most frustrating and toxic type team players imaginable.
