Anyone else fed up with the imbalanced matchmaking this season?

This season has been fantastic so far. No complaints. Will only get better this Tuesday too.

I mean, how/why did you lose 10 games in a row? Was there anything you could discern from your gameplay to improve on? Or is it always your teams fault?

just always get placed with that 1 player that makes it 5v6 and hes always on my team.
Seems like the other team NEVER has that 1 guy.
I'll drop 200SR out of nowhere then slowly gain it back over the next 20 games. Then instadrop another 200SR. Its insane.

I agree there's lot of people that leave, you're not wrong there. But do you ever take the time to notice when it happens to the other team? You probably don't get mad at those. It's probably more of a, "we take those!" moment.

Ill tell you that I've gotten NUMEROUS 10+ loss streaks. With my max being 17 losses in a row. SEVENTEEN. How is that even mathematically possible for a game that should be "fair" with matchmaking? But Ill tell you that I have only won around 5-6 in a row.
I will get completely DOMINATED in many of the games I play. But maybe 1/10 games I will be on the dominating team.

Seems like the only constant is you.

The matchmaking really is only imbalanced in arcade modes from my experience. In comp and qp, it is always a game you can win barring throwers or leavers on your team. However, this is not always true in arcade modes, where I (a mid silver player) have been put up against diamonds and masters before, but even against them I was still able to compete well enough to get top 4 and even number one once.
It's unrealistic to blame all your problems on matchmaking, and you can't blame losing 17 in a row entirely on matchmaking, just like I can't blame all of my losses on my connection being absolutely awful (200 ping minimum per game, if you were wondering) it gets to the point where you've got to realize that you can improve. If a team comp isn't working, switch to something that will help, such as switching to a healer if people on your team keep dying when there's only one support, or a tank if you can't hold an objective for long.
You are, for the most part, able to determine how well you do, whether by being a team player and being nice to your teammates, doing the best you can do, or anything else.
In short, don't blame matchmaking for all of your losses, when you are likely the reason for some of them, which may suck to hear, but self improvement can only start when you realize your flaws and start to fix them.

Seems like I'm forced to dps or I get a loss.
Cant rely on unskilled people to actually do work in this game.
I am always on top of my team in every game that I play. Which is why I think I may get stuck with noobs everytime. Because the hidden MMR shows that I am actually a very skilled player so it continuously matches me with subpar teamates to even out the skill.

Your MMR will almost always match you with and against people near it in your SR range, again you cannot blame matchmaking for 17 losses. If it really is as bad as you seem to think it is, start duo or even trip queueing, then you're guaranteed to have at least one team member you know you can rely on to not throw, leave, or be subpar as you seem to think everyone you get matched with is.

matchmaking is 100% the reason, and its especially retarded this season. They changed something about how the game matches you now. And its trash
I despise playing as a party. I solo que.
Im also glad blizz has figured out we want and NEED a solo only que so i stop getting matched vs the 5banger basement lan party.
Oh wait, they havent. GG blizz

You can blame it all on matchmaking, that is, if you're fine with never ranking up to a higher elo.
About the 5 man queueing, you will typically only get matched up against one if you've got one on your team.
Stop bitching, realize that you can't blame your problems on everyone but yourself. Judging by this posts and comments YOU are the one at fault for your misfortunes, and the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll be improving and you'll also have more fun (because you'll win more).

Nobody wonders why OW isn't popular anymore, because it is, in fact, still popular.
OW is not popular anymore. Its player base is fading fast. And I dont blame anyone for it. The constant overbuff/overnerfs/imbalanced heros really turn players off.
For a year old + game, its hugely popular.
I would very much like to be linked to your source referring to the diminishing player base.
Also, I don't think your latter point holds weight, given the proliferation of LoL and DOTA, both of which are hugely popular, and are constantly balancing heroes, making and breaking them in the process.
