Devs used to be very active about matchmaking issues before in Discord, but it's all stopped now. They're no longer focusing on improving matchmaking for better quality matches or player experience. They're prioritizing faster queues for more playtest data. It's intentional. Just uninstall and...
Dota 2 does not use pure win/loss based matchmaking. You will not get brand-new players with less than 10 matches in your lobbies if you're mid-high mmr even in unranked.

It actually has a pretty good system that considers behavior score...
Valve is prioritizing data collection over match quality and player experience to test several features, since it's a playtest.
If you're tired of having new players, griefers, leavers or highly skilled sweats in your lobbies, then you should uninstall and play other games. If you look at Dota...

I was 1v2 and 1v3ing in my solo lane as Vindicta while spamming for help and yet somehow all other lanes lost. Then I just got ganked by people with massive soul leads and just dove under towers, walkers, base guardians and eventually in the spawn.
It was a very fun match. I waited 30...
To contrast with that match, this was my previous match on Vindicta which was a very even game that got my heart racing and had me clenching my butt at the end.

I went from one of the most even teams in the lobby with everyone playing at a decent level to an absolute trash...

Just because I'm on a 5 match winstreak on Vindicta doesn't mean you have to put me in a match where it's a guaranteed loss. I tried my best, but it was impossible with someone in my team always being dead. The opposing team had an emissary Haze who I didn't even see for...
It only works sometimes. For me, only for that specific match, it wasn't working. It was a shame because it was a decent lobby too, which is pretty rare.
Yup, same thing happened to me. All other matches were fine, it was just the one match where I could not reconnect. After third crash, it didn't even show the option to rejoin even though the game was still not finished. I got low prio and a 24 hr ban because of it.

Not sure what the issue was. I was lagging heavy too in the server with 50% more ping than usual and kept getting disconnected and crashing.
There was a very long pause at the start of the game and I think that might have caused it.

Genuinely the worst match I've ever played. My lane partner was intentionally feeding because he got the same bad teammates from his last match. The shiv was griefing and intentionally not defending objectives, just chasing fights and feeding. Then both of them started...
