Mine's looked like this since day 1. Never strayed more than 2% above or below 50%.
I've honestly grown to hate hanzo almost as much as Ihate the huntsman I feel he wins almost EVERY 1v1, with him and I both having abilities on CD
I honestly wasn't expecting to play Torb as much as I have

[QUOTE=Altimor;50503278]Not the same as pubs but Winston is and has been a staple for KOTH in competitive play.[/QUOTE]
Got any videos? I'm curious, because I just never see it. I've seen maybe one actually good Winston thrashing around a KOTH map before, but most of them are just giving us something to charge our Ult on.
This is also starting to become every match for me now.

"SIMILAR SKILL"
I'm not even level 60 yet, constantly going against squads of 110+

They could easily have been in a group or been stuck in queue for a long time.

While it is obviously not adjusted directly on W/R to shit on certain people, their over-focus on what I can only assume is short-term measured "skill" is panning out to shove a lot of people around 50%. IE you start doing really good, oh no, here's some really-really good players. Oh no, you did bad with that, we'll make it easier. Flush that cycle a few hundred times and I can see most people winding up around 50/50 anyways.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50503353]The group size thing is definitely bullshit.
PRETTY SURE 6 and 1 are not the same numbers[/QUOTE]
iirc 6 man groups specifically seek out other 6 man groups in MM, but if it sits there too long, it gives up and looks for anything.

I'd also like to add that I'm not against skill-based MM at all. They just need to adjust their metrics or have it based on a longer-term orientation/slower burn/something.
If they took off whatever they currently have, the game would be haywire. I've played with some new players where MM shoved my 60-something butt into a Level 5-20 match and ho boy, it was special. And it was wrong.

Watch any KOTH match and there's probably a Winston

283 games lost
51% win rate... yeah if it's not forced 50/50 W/L then that's a load of shit. A lot of my friend's stats are like this too despite us not always playing together.

Playing against people with the same elo rating as you is naturally going to give you a 50% winrate or very close to it.
[QUOTE=Altimor;50503170]Earlier I saw a Mei icicle flying toward me, blinked out of the way, then died a fifth of a second later. The killcam didn't show me blinking. I don't know how that's even possible with 56 ping.[/QUOTE]
I get the same shit too often on genji, I dash, die after and on the killcam I never dashed. My ping is also always around 40-45 too so this is just infuriating.

57% winrate with 337 games. It's not forced.[URL="http://masteroverwatch.com/leaderboards/pc/us/winrate"] I've also seen people with 60%+ winrate[/URL].
Just got 3 POTG in a row as a Pharah. FeelsGoodMan

You're just playing against people on your level. Of course it's going to be very even. But it's by no means "forced 50%".
451 games played
253 games won
198 games lost
56% winrate
so idk
My problem with the matchmaking is that every other match seems to be a steamroll one way or the other.
I find Hanamuru the worst map in the game because of that first choke. The only flanks are for flying heroes or ones with upward mobility and those flanks are hardly flanks even

This is with me doing a bunch of stupid ass gimmicks pretty often with a bunch of other idiots.
I honestly find a 1/4 of the heroes in this game completely NOT fun to fight at all

hey there fellow forced 60%

do you want to know my secret
I feel like the whole 50% win/rate debacle just boils down to how cynical you are.
Either you think it's bs that a lot of people happen to have close to or 50% win/rate so you think something's up, or you just ackowledge that the match maker is simply well made and pits players accordingly since it has such a large pool to pick from.
Useless ult with none of your team near to capitalize on it, cryo, then die is the quintessential Mei play

Whether or not it's actually "forced 50" the matchmaking is absolutely terrible, if it actually placed similiar skilled players into a game you'd see less stomps.
Has anyone else been getting pretty bad lag spikes?
For some reason, my game will just hang for several seconds at a time, as if my internet went off or something.
I'm pretty sure it's not an issue on my end.

Yeah lately maybe 1 out of 5 games I've played have been somewhat balanced, the rest have been stomps in either direction.
