It’s been a few weeks since Blizzard introduced the Stadium mode in Overwatch 2, and although it has provided entertainment, players are voicing concerns about its matchmaking system.

One player expressed, “We were literally held hostage in Stadium.” They found themselves stuck in a match where the opposing team taunted them, declaring, “We won’t finish the game until one of you leaves.”

Continuing Complaints The situation worsened as players noted instances of extreme lack of balance, with matches occurring between vastly different skill levels. One quoted, “When we attempted to play objectives, they killed us repeatedly without trying to win, simply camping us to farm kills.”

The feedback to developers indicates a pressing need for adjustments. Daniel Duffin, a test analyst, mentioned that they are considering player feedback to enhance the experience, including potential implementations of a hero pick/ban system.

Conclusion Despite the calamitous matchmaking, there is hope that with time, improvements can be made to adjust the system and better align it with the skill levels of players.
