    Overwatch 2 Matchmaking System Frustrates Players by New Update

    Players of Overwatch 2 are confused and unhappy about the game’s matchmaking system!

    Overwatch 2 fans have always been frustrated with the game’s matchmaking system. However, a recently detailed explanation by the game director has left many feeling disillusioned about whether the problem will ever be resolved.

    While some players think that ranking up has become easier in Season 3, others believe that significant gaps in skill levels still exist.

    The new info that stirred disappointment

    Although the game has reintroduced features from its predecessor, such as enemy endorsements, to better evaluate player proficiency, the matchmaking system still has significant shortcomings.

    The Overwatch 2 community reacted negatively to the recent revelation that the game’s matchmaking system used to pair players who were twelve leagues apart or more. Fans were confused and frustrated that reducing this difference to nine leagues was considered an accomplishment by the developer team.

    Overwatch 2 Matchmaking new info

    To provide some context, prior to Season 3, a Grandmaster 1 player could be matched with a Diamond 3 player. After changes introduced by Blizzard, Gold 5 players could still end up playing against Bronze 1 players.

    Regardless of whether the leagues are high or low, fans consider the potential skill gap between two players in Overwatch to be completely unacceptable.

    The Reddit thread that sparked this discussion was posted by sail10694 and was directly linked to Aaron Keller’s post on the Overwatch 2 website. Given that participants were claiming scenarios where Platinum and Bronze players were paired up together in a game, it’s clear that the community has major qualms about the current state of matchmaking in Overwatch 2.

    Here’s how to play Overwatch 2 to keep yourself on the edge against unfair competition.

    Quality or quantity?

    While it’s true that the daily active players have dwindled in the past month despite overall growth, many would rather take a long queue if it meant more parity from their teammates and enemies. Ultimately, Overwatch 2 players believe that Blizzard Entertainment has no desire to reduce the difference between leagues at the expense of prolonging the queue, as player activity and engagement seem to be more important than having parity in its competitive mode.

    Whether that’s an accurate assessment of the situation remains to be seen, but the frustration in the community is undoubtedly real

    Hopefully, something that Blizzard will take into account as it continues to work on Overwatch 2 in Season 3 and the upcoming Overwatch 6th season.
