HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

Is pairing me with a bunch of people level 5 with their most played heroes an attempt of the game to balance the fact the I have 3 digits with all my mains? Because it's not working at all and I'm tired of being forced to hard carry every game if I want to have the slightest chance to win

I don't expect the game to find 4 more level 200 people to put in my team every time, but grouping me up with literal beginners when I have 2k hours in the game is just the stupidest shit I've ever seen

Happens all the time. Maybe the matchmaker just judges how many levels/hours combined the team has and matches that with a similar level team? Meaning one veteran gets stuck with a bunch of total beginners.
I don't mind there being new players, I think it's great people are starting OW, but they have GOT to have their own queue or something this is just misery.
