My goal is to sustain Diamond, I have been there 3 times and it hasn't lasted more than a week. My stretch goal is GM, I am old and my reflexes aren't what they used to be.

I care less about the tank and moreso having fun. But the loser queue is NOT FUN.

In overwatch, for all it's negatives, the matchmaking always felt fair. Yeah sometimes you got rolled, but it wasn't constant. Most matches felt like you earned what you got. That's severely missing from this. And I love this game at the core, so I'm hoping they fix it.

I was plat/diamond in OW so I wasn't a full window licker, just occasionally some windows did look tasty.

What I read was that when you take a loss you have to log off for 8 hours because it tells the algorithm that you are not a "happy" player and will seed an 'easy' game.

The way I ranked up was going on long win-streaks by carrying trash players, but at a point the skill gap between myself and the other players shrinks and I can no longer carry the team so I end up losing match after match because I am too stubborn to quit and come back later when the algorithm 'rewards' me.

I refuse to play the algorithm mini-game. Just pit me against players of similar elo and stop all the fuckery to try and keep me online to maximize my chances of buying skins.

if anything, this strategy is destructive because as more players realize the trend, they're going to get furious and quit.
They say that about COD and its horrendous SBMM and yet every year the goy slurp that slop up like it's the Second Coming.

I think a game that removes all that shit and does what old games did, ping is king, will have a monster success on their hands.

But the suits won't allow it, they all have psychology degrees and no one needs those to make a game fun.

They'd all be out of a job.
