If stacking ruins competitive integrity in ranked @PlayOverwatch then you all should disable the ability to stack in ALL RANKS not just GM
We applied the MMR decay system we made for GMs to all ranks and the same principle is applicable everywhere, so apply it everywhere.
UPDATE: Matchmaking is not fixed... still getting plats/diamonds while being GM1. Don't even recognize my entire lobby after getting a 1 second q. not good.
I cannot express how AWFUL it is to play ranked not only with this matchmaking, but the fact that blizzard decided TO HIDE PLAYER RANKS SO I CANNOT TELL IF MY OTHER DPS IS DIAMOND.
@PlayOverwatch I need to know if I need to be lebron james to win my lobby. Show ranks. GG
Working hard on reducing matches that have players with wide skill ranges. We made a change this morning and will make one tomorrow that should reduce these occurrences. Reports have been very helpful. If you continue to see these, let us know, so we can track down their causes.
The OW matchmaking is beyond repair. Most players are inflated, including me. There would need to be hard changes for most player's rank due to inflation. Some players have surpassed "5000 SR", that shouldn't be a thing. & this isn't even talking about lower ranked players (1/2)
Wish more of the world cup trials were streamed ALGS style, where we can hear coms and start to build connections to these teams/ players
OW esports has SO MUCH potential but we really blow it at every turn, hope to see that start to change soon
All OW players know how to do is flame and blame. We don’t realize this is a team game and working together like we’re in kindergarten helps us all win the game and do our best
99% of the time if you have a plat/Diamond player on your team in top 500 the other team does too maybe if you stop flaming the poor guy he will do better than their Diamond and you’ll win

For context we made several changes to matchmaking in S3. We'll cover these and their impact(generally, really positive) in the next blog update. A byproduct of these changes was pulling gold players into GM lobbies. That's what these fixes are targeted at.
It's always the guys with their Overwatch peak in their bios who hard cope about new people reaching GM for the first time
Listen, Overwatch community, there is no divine order of people who deserve GM. If you climb you deserve it
Early OW GM was plat lvl gameplay (I was there)
Now can yall Mercy players shut up?
If you are gonna complain, complain that they changed the wrong things, not that shes "dead" cuz ur soft skulled if you ever said that
