I still find myself playing this a bunch. If you're good you can still carry a team of average baddies.

Yeah but if you are a pug vs a pre-made, its just a stomp. Really needs a ranked solo queue or a better match making. Matchmaking is a weak spot for Blizzard, just look at how bad HotS MM is.
They've published statistics showing the probability that you've ever been all-solo vs 6-man is like 0.50% of games or some shit

Frequency of premades proabably depends a lot on your MMR. I see familiar names almost every game. Even a 2 or 3 man pre-made can roflstomp a full 6 man random team.
Their stats are misleading btw.
They specifically lumped 2-man premades in with the 100% solo queue and we have no idea how large of a share that is.
I'm betting 2-man premades are very frequent. If 1 person can carry a team, 2 players can do so even better.

So about 20% of games include a premade of 3+ people somewhere.

Thats probably a symptom of there being maybe a few thousand players online at a given time. I've played with the same handful of people constantly. And to the point that also makes it so match making is a complete crapshoot due to not having the population required to support actual good match making. I'm not letting Blizzard off the hook here because it took a really like time for Heroes to even have semi-competent match making but you can't expect completely fair matches when the pool of players is so shallow.

Not saying its all 6 on the other side, but 3 friends working together with a good comp will shit on pug teams. It was like that in Mechwarrior Online too.
And like Fawe stated, I see lots of the same names over and over in the same groups.

This is the main thing. Good matchmaking needs two things: Large active playerbase at any given time and sufficient enough time to actually tier skill levels for said players. On the flipside, though, is you also have to balance that with player attention span. Think about CSGO comp matches where it is searching for 10+ minutes. At some point, you just want to play the damned game and not be spending all your time in a queue.

The two most recent brawls were pretty fun. the "arcade" mode where the respawn was reduced to 3 seconds and cooldowns reduced by 200% was a blast. The Soldier 76 brawl was also fun.
I agree that Genji & Hanzo/Mercy & Pharah were not that good. The brawl where you randomly respawn as a class every time you die sucked as well, RNG just shit on teams with duplicate spawns or god awful class make ups that made it super easy for a lucky rolled team to just shit stomp the other.

Why is Tigole and the rest of the dev team a bunch of cucks?
They're removing a tracer victory pose because some SJW whined on the beta thread that it's too sexual and doesn't match her character. Why do companies give into this kind of feedback? it's actually mind blowing to me.

Can't pick up med-kits either. The attacking team should never lose unless terrible
I thought the 76 one was decent
I'm really starting to dig on Widowmaker lately. I don't feel she can solo carry as much as some of the other classes I play (Junkrat, S76, Tracer, Reaper) but if your team is semi-competent and isn't just getting steamrolled she can very easily make it so your team takes nothing but lopsided fights. I think her Q is somewhat underrated as well especially if you're in a situation where you don't really know where the team is at or which flank they're coming into your team at.

Found my new most hated, whoever was behind making the McCree brawl mode is a evil mastermind that hates people, awful.
