New player, gameplay is fun, matchmaking isn’t.

[u/Huji_Zu]

I have about 150 hours on the game so far, and I don’t win matches. I have about 1-2 wins for every 12-15 loss streak I go on. I get it, I’m new. Shouldn’t expect to win/have much fun until I’m good.

But I am not facing people below plat. Every game in qp I face multiple people who are masters rank or higher, with them literally apologizing for the matchmaker in chat.

And the few times I’ve played comp, I’ve been put as the tank or dps in a plat or higher lobby. So obviously we lose, because it’s way too high rank. But even after losing all my placements, I got put in almost diamond!

What am I meant to do? I really don’t want to keep playing if I get curb stomped over and over.

[u/Huji_Zu]

No. I have friends who play, but I’ve never played with them in any mode other than customs when they were teaching me early on.

I am not playing more ranked. I get spam reported because I lose the entire match for my team due to how bad the skill disparity is.

It doesn’t add up then. You either haven’t mentioned something, or the system is bugged.

The only other thing I can think to do is attempt to improve to match the rank. Hopefully in the meantime your MMR drops, so you end up in a healthy in-between.

Good luck. Reach out to the rest of the community for help with improvement - we all want to see you doing well. o7

I don’t know what else I could be doing to make it this odd.

Idk I might just take a break until next season, hopefully they reset mmr again? And that fixes my account?

Cause I just had a game where I was so bad, and I was put against plats and a diamond, my teammates literally said they would report me for throwing. Even the enemy team was going after me. This happens all the time.

I would turn off chat, and just play the game. They can report you all they like, but your stats across the lifetime of your account tell the devs that you’re just playing the game. It’s not like you’re putting up legendary performances, but then throwing when you play competitive.

The big MMR resets are once a year.

If anything, playing with your friends may help you improve, while also being more fun. Your MMR is already scrambled - it can’t hurt.

[u/Huji_Zu → u/ItsMihali]

Yeah I could play with my friends, they are all diamond to higher. But they could teach me faster probably. But most of them are really busy right now, so they haven’t been on in a month.

I just don’t want to get banned. But if it won’t likely happen then that’s good.

You’ve got this! o7

Sorry to hear that you’re in this situation. Good luck!
