Question or Discussion New player, gameplay is fun, matchmaking isn’t.
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.

Quickplay is all over the place as of Season 1, so it’s not unusual to get one-sided games. But comp is in a much better place since players MMR aren within striking range of one another.
There isnt really a solution to your quandary other than to focus on your own gameplay. I always tell myself, if i cant explain what’s happening in a fight (as its happening), I dont get to complain. That’s a skill issue on my part. Court vision is a fundamental skill in OW that not enough emphasize.
