Same happened in my match (id35804634) as well. Me and my teammates sent a cheating report, but if it is a bug I dont think the system is capable of registering it as such.

Well it appears the cause for invisibility was, in fact, quantum entanglement followed by a self kill.

After watching the replay more carefully, it appears sometimes the characters stays invisible even in the replay - after Dynamo was killed for the first time, he repeated the self-kill, and now was invisible for the replay as well.

During my game (id 35804634) two players pressed self-kill bind as soon as they spawned, and somehow it resulted in them being completely invisible up until death, when they would self-kill again and continue being invisible. This resulted, interestingly, in Beebop's ultimate beam being...

The game has a very small online nowdays. Considering location, rank, characters etc... it will throw together pretty much random people.

This happened once, while I was looking for the game. Standart match, without lobby. The game was minimised, when suddenly I started hearing somebody breathing and clicking the mouse and/or keyboard. Also various in-game sounds started playing as if I was listening to the on-going game. The hero...

Why do you think it is broken, and not working as intended? Does it put you against much weaker/much stronger opponents? Seems to me like you just fit perfectly into your curent rank, what is problem with that?

Matchmaking after 11-21-2024 patch improved significantly for me. The skill levels of both teams and players in each team are more in-tune, resulting in less win/loss swings while climbing up the ranks. The new ranking system seems more consistent too, compared to previous ranked experience.

So it has been few days, the matchmaker seems to be stabilised, and now I just can get people complaining about it at all. The games now are much more balanced and even, in my experience. Also, I am getting more player ready to talk than ever, no AFKs at all, and it is probably the best deadlock...

Eah I am not really seeing that. The current "casual" mode IS ranked, high rank players are (supposed to) be put against other high rank players, just like in a, uh, ranked mode. Sad to admit, but this game is no TF2, and it doesnt have the same depth to fool around. But TF2 case is an important...

Isnt that exactly how it worked back when ranked was introduced? Only back then ranks were updated once a week, and I assume now they could be updated as many times per day as possible.

What IS the problem, I think, is that deadlock right now is a very top-heavy game with many high level players, but if you seen tracklock lately it seems like developers want the players to neatly fit into the ideal bell curve, and the priority in matchmaking is given to ritualist-archon players...

Yes, I have seen those, and well I agree thats not great. It will be double not great if it continues to be the case. But after a major rank reshuffle it seems like a part for the cause. The only way to tell how this new system works is to give it time to adjust and not take wahts going on...

So it still puts you 2 rank lower when you try a new hero, but also 2 ranks lower on your main, and Abrams player who played abrams for the first time got put here too? Sounds like he might have been ascendant as well. I guess the system is built to adjust for player's potential experience, and...

Frankly, I dont see a problem in that, by itself. Do you mean that games you are being put in are too easy? As far as I understand, if you win a lot of games in a row you will start getting into games with the higher rank.
