I think they should do a full reset of ranks, but in order for that to work they'll have to establish some skills that they expect different ranks to be able to do consistently. If it's just based on wins/losses, the some people will accidentally get carried to high elos they don't belong in.

Sorry to break it to you all, but Yamato was nerfed a while ago: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/11-07-2024-update.44786/

I doubt they'll give some of this information, because it'll be too easy for people to abuse that information to manipulate queues. Unless you're at a really high elo, you shouldn't NEED a mic to communicate. The ping system works just fine for most call outs. There is some sort of problem with...

I'm glad you brought it to the dev's attention. In my opinion, the lack of penalty in the past was the bug, not the current behavior. What you're doing is abandoning the match (ie, rage quitting) before it officially ends. Just wait the 3 seconds for the game to end normally and give...

Matchmaking doesn't make sense anyway for a game this early. It was only added to give people a way to play with other people roughly at their skill level rather than having totally random teams. It's not designed to be like a battle pass or season rank. My only complaint with the matchmaking...

This happens if someone's game crashes to the desktop as it loads it. The pre-game screen doesn't have the player ID yet, so the person has no way to rejoin. There is no system currently for finding a replacement player, so the game just ends after a few minutes. I've unfortunately had this...

The scenario you're highlighting seems to make sense to me. If you've matched against other people playing low-priority / new characters, the game would give you low priority character to balance it. The only problem is that there is no indicator that your opponents are also new to the...

Melee Charge extends the melee range and feels really far in the early game. This looks normal.

Don't forget to include match ID's with timestamps, or videos of the situation.

Basically the "searching for match" background will cycle through every character you have on your roster. I've been able to re-create this in the past, but I am not able to recreate it now. If it happens again, write down what you did during the matchmaking (tab out, windows key, etc.) and I'll...

I believe this only happens if you tab out of Deadlock when you're searching for a match. If you leave Deadlock as the main window, it won't happen.

What do you mean by "quit spectating it." Are you force-quitting before the game shows the ending screen?

I just watched an Ivy get hit with this bug on a clips compilation. I was wondering what was happening and the voice over said "She panicked so hard she forgot how to climb" or something like that. This makes a lot more sense.

What's the match ID? I am guessing he got Melee Charge early but I can't tell without watching the replay.

I can't speak to the character preference, but I think it's really odd to only have 3 characters selected. I have 2 characters as purple, 5 as yellow, and almost every other character as white. It's strange that you are only picking 3 characters. It's very possible that you're matching with...
