The "Overwatch" community has tagged exploiters "Brazilian Six Stack" which have been queuing up at wee hours catch the low traffic periods of the game.

Because of their high rankings, they will be matched by "Overwatch's matchmaking system to players not in their skill level. This allows them to smash gamers with 2000 SR lower so easily. The results are easily reflected in their success as they leap through the region's top 500 players having the top 2% of kill/death ratios or the top 90% of damage yield.
