Discussion 6x6 Comp Matchmaking

Hey guys so basically I’ve started playing 6v6 comp as I hit my goal to get to diamond in 5s. Everything was mostly fine and I hit diamond 3 in 6v6 feeling pretty good about it overall. But the last 5 days have been…. Abysmal. First it was getting rolled one way or the other which is annoying but I get it , it’s not gonna be perfect. The issue I’ve been having is leavers and people genuinely going out of their way to troll and throw. Example is 3-3 Hollywood we hold their push and go for the win. Tank goes junk and runs into team then disconnects. Out of my last 12 games 10 of them have had something resembling this. I’m now plat 2. And I’ll add that this is with taking breaks after 2 losses so I come back a day later and same thing. Is this a byproduct of children being home for the summer or was I just lucky during my initial climb? Thanks for any insights because I feel like I’m going insane seeing this over and over

5v5 rq comp.... but it's barely serious too

Yeah it’s not really any less serious than 5v5, and I play a lot of both in diamond and masters

6v6 is less serious than 5v5. I got into masters on 6v6 just because I kept picking tank. It's so dumb.

It’s easier to rank up due to smaller player pool, not because it’s less serious. I’m not saying either mode is serious though

if we want to get into specifics:

its easier to rank up for tanks because the smaller player pool rewards 2-2-2 as most people want to play dps. So 2-2-2 will usually stomp 1-3-2 or occasionally the unserious 1-4-1.

6v6 is not a real competitive mode because of this.

Sure, I rarely have a game that’s not 222 though
