The matchmaking has been like that since the game launched.
Sometimes you get into games immediately, sometimes you wait 4 minutes, and the rest is a combination of the two.

BTW. Anyone having Mercy bug when you are healing or boosting an alley, and then you turn around facing other ally, LSHIFT is visible on him you press it but Mercy goes back to the alley you just healed or boosted instead of following alley you are facing??
Died many times because of this.

That's what happens when you have "Guardian Angel Prefers Beam Target" turned on. If you have it turned off, you can leave the beam on someone while flying to another target. It's much better to play with it Off, though it's defaulted to On.

Go into your Mercy settings and disable the option for "Guardian Angel prefers boosted targets" or something like that. I imagine that will help you out.
Never had those problems before, maybe nobody likes to play arcade mode 6v6 capture the flag.... but i need muh loot boxes.
Fighting on a point on illios, just me as zarrya and a genji, rest of our team died. Other team mercy comes in and gets a 4 man res and they have their entire team. Myself and the genji just back out, and emrcy freaks out yelling at us that theres no reason weshould be giving up a fight like that (We were winning and there was no reason to contest and let them build ult considering we were already at 90ish and they had 0).
I bring up that it was 2v6 and he goes off about how hes seen 2 people down a full 6 and we should have stayed in and to mute our mics and stop saying to back out. This was in master. Blows my mind.

My PSN is the same as my GAF name.

Is this when I'm supposed to go throw games so I can match up with you guys? /s
Ah well, hopefully you guys will be able to climb and I can play with you in the future (or the much more likely scenario of me falling in rank).
Yeah. I'm on

It's really the only option.
I guess you must be a high SR, because i'm in the 1900-2100 range and it's cancerous.
Usually I'm the only healer or tank while everyone else auto locks shit like Torb on offense.

I wish I could join. I got work the next two days. But I should be available on Monday.
Please add me if you haven't. PSN:ElzaWalker
Its just as bad at high SR. The difference being is, for me anyway, you see a lot less stupid character picks. Other than that, it still gets toxic.

So I'm about to start playing Overwatch and I'm wanting to keep up with lore while I enjoy the game. Is there a posted list somewhere of what videos I need to watch, what I need to read, etc. and what order is best?
Don't heal at that SR. Play a character that has a real chance at getting picks independently (I suggest Roadhog, Pharah or Tracer) and win by being 6v5 all the time.
You can hope that someone will gravitate to you because they think you're a smurf and start healing. If not, you'll still win most games (although you can't win them all at that rank).
I got placed into gold this season because I'd focused on playing support season 3 and went from diamond to low plat. I went from gold to master over the course of three weeks by playing mostly Pharah and Roadhog. I've seen that some people can climb as support but I don't really know how; the path of least resistance for me was to play Pharah. I had a 75% win rate until mid-Diamond.
EDIT: Also, talk to your team. I think the main thing that lower SR players don't do that turns them into better players when they start doing it is talk. Talk even if you're the only one talking. Talk even if it's just you and Lucio in voice chat.
Going to give this a try. I'm mostly solo on comp, so I try to fill what we need. Half the time nobody has mics so we aren't going to communicate anyway. Going to try to just focus on DPS'ing.

When 10-year-old kids say "dang it feels good to be a gangsta" in team chat >>>>>>>>
I actually climbed from 1400 to 2100 as Mercy. Now at 2100 i cant carry it any higher and i think Rein will be my choice to go to 2500.

I haven't played Horizon in like two weeks! And I like Horizon a lot!
I don't think that not communicating is really an option in this game. If nobody has mics they can listen to you and you can tell them where people are and how much health they have (if applicable).
One of my favorite things to do as Pharah is boop players into my team. This strategy is pretty useless if your team doesn't focus on the person you've booped in, but if they do, it can be extremely effective. This is just one example of communication playing a decisive role; it is all-around very important and going in without it is handicapping yourself in a significant way.

I find it hard to maintain interest in any non-competitive game these days.
No matter how good the RPG or action game is, playing against AI just isnt satisfying.

I would pay extra to play on a 25+ server.

Got my silver portrait
And despite maining Support, my support win rates are all at the bottom and my fill picks are all at the top. =(
I say it's a message that you can't save stupid teams.
