Ever complained about Overwatch matchmaking? There’s a chance Jeff Kaplan checked your account and all he has to say is: ‘There’s gotta be winners and there’s gotta be losers’

Matchmaking in Overwatch is challenging for players trying to escape "Elo-hell," with a tendency for win-loss ratios to hover around 50% for most players, except for the elite top 500 or those struggling significantly. Former Overwatch lead Jeff Kaplan describes matchmaking as a complex design task that inevitably results in winners and losers. Players often express frustration over losing streaks, which can be psychologically impactful. Kaplan notes that players tend to complain more about losses than celebrate wins, highlighting a contradiction in their expectations for fair matches. Despite the difficulties, Overwatch has made progress in matchmaking and hero balancing, indicating a strong player connection to the game.

We Love Every Game wants to solve Steam’s discoverability problem

We Love Every Game is a platform created by Boston-based Totally Human Media to help players discover quality PC games on Steam, which sees nearly 20,000 new titles each year.

The platform recommends games that have at least an 80% positive review rating on Steam with a minimum of 30 reviews. It aims to connect gamers with titles that match their preferences and is exploring the use of generative AI to summarize game content. The founders plan to expand the platform to include other forms of entertainment media and are seeking a sustainable business model that respects user experience.
