Anyone else struggling to enjoy the game due to insane skill gaps and horribly lopsided matchmaking? (feddit.nu)

Out of every 10 games I play, maybe one of them is a close, even game where everyone is on roughly the same skill level - and that's probably me being generous.

Almost every game has people on either team not just losing their lane but going something like 0-17. I know it's early alpha and has had a huge influx of players recently so maybe it's to be expected to some extent, but even back in my Dota days matchmaking was never this bad. This is like, public WC3 Dota 1 lobbies level.

How are you guys finding it? Anyone break through the MMR barrier into a point where you're getting consistently good games? How long did it take, and what MMR? (you can check here

I suck at the game but I still enjoy it.

I actually love playing against higher tier players and not having skill based match making. It's how a grew up playing games and it refreshing running up against cracked players. It's also how I learn to play better.

For instance I had a match last night that lasted 41 minutes. A large part of it was that I was so out matched I just pushed the objective. The other team had to keep running back to defend the base. Died 24 times but we won and I did my part. I also know I should never play Abrams. I suck at Abrams.
