Bad Matchmaking Thread

I think there needs to be an overhaul on the safe urn location. We were pretty close in souls and they got the safe urn location and it completely shifted the momentum of the game. Also, it seems like I am consistently the best player on my team, where I build items to counter the enemy. What's up with that lol

I think people are too hasty to put any loss or stomp in this thread without considering genuine problems.

Ending with a soul disparity, even a 50k level one, isn't exactly a sign of bad MM so much as a sign that the winning team kept an advantage.
A teammate dying a lot isn't always proof they're in the wrong MMR, they could be having a bad game or trying a hero they're newer to.

Examples of stuff that probably doesn't fit here: (Judgments made without reaching replays, disclaimer)

This just seems like a typical swingy game where one team got an advantage and pressed it. Your team also had really poor obj damage, so not much pushing was happening.

Ranked stopped being fun after this week's ranking.

This one is actually pretty fair, your personal performance wasn't amazing (no shade intended, just the facts), but this looks like a fairly typical loss, maybe a bit stompy but hardly insane.

I'm sick and tired of this match making. My entire ranked gameplay experience has been miserable. It feels like I already know what to expect when I queue up, it's always three players who feed and three who are just okay.

I don't even see what the issue is here beyond a few too many deaths on Ivy and Paradox (not like the enemy warden did super well either). Souls are pretty close an they're spread pretty well through the team too.

in general I think too many people are fixating on one or two people who didn't do well or did very well, or on KDAs, rather than souls and objective damage.

There are examples that are screwy though, to counterpoint anyone who just wants to dismiss this as just trying to dunk on people:

25466809 they just started pushing base before 10 minutes and people could not group up or do anything about it until it was way too late, also vindicta and mcginnis definitely need more buffsView attachment 27199

I have never seen a more unbalanced game in my 285 hours in game. We finished the game with a ~69,000 net worth lead, but even in the laning stage you could tell things were very off.View attachment 26835

25701615. 74k vs 131k, just not even close. Since 10/24 essentially all of my group of friends' matches have been pretty terrible where we feel completely outmatched. I don't even think we've had a single match where that wasn't the case. If it were just because of the "wide skill range" of our group (which is... weird, we're all about the same), you would expect some stomps by us occasionally but... nada.

Horribly balanced teams. Seven and pocket both usless and feeding. Infern and haze also equally low skill but at least they contributed. Then theres geist vindicta & yamato that actually know how to play while i only get ivy as my other skilled player. the wild imbalance makes for miserable games.

I'm getting an insane amount of games like this. So many games are ruined by using normal mmr to place people, causing people to be in matches much higher than they should be.

One lane in this game had its players (on both sides) way below other players skill level. The mcginnis took a walker by 6 minutes, which should never happen in archon. But then after mcginnis got the towers she got 19 deaths. That lane felt 20-30% lower mmr than the rest of the game. The game also lasted 53 minutes, probably due to this issue!

I actually misreported the shiv because I assumed he gave up on the game for leaving the walkers die to jungle. My fault for that sorry.

Felt completely one-sided from start to end. Not only did the entire enemy team have more skill than we did, all their heroes were also hard-counters for us.

We lost our guardian at 3:30 minutes. Rest of the lanes followed suit. Literally a game set up to lose.

What a total shit game. Absolutely ridiculous match making.
All of their players were leagues above our own.

Team just couldn't do a single thing while I was holding my own just fine until the other team was 40k+ ahead of us. Teammates started giving up half way through when they kept dying.

I watched this game. Both teams looked evenly matched with stronger and weaker players on each team but I am not sure how helpful your Infernus's chats were for your team's success.

for your kind information those chats are for fun in that situation , i wasnt intentionally toxic neither enemy team was triggered or offended ofcourse except only You.

Also the Matching was So far from EVEN . i have Played more than 250 matches. and i dont post bad matching every single day. i posted it coz there is an OPTION for bad matching thread, hoping to get it fixed , because that match was so unusual.

ID: 25335194 this match and ID: 25340638 this one. Made me match against the same 4 premade back to back as a solo player. I don't know if any of my team had any premade as well, but these games didn't feel any good to play against and made me a little mad. Also, our Mo and Krill on the first match just up and left when he kept on dying.

im really losing hope for this game because i keep feeling like im running into smurfs. particularly the second game listed. with no smurf detection the game will have a serious issue gathering new players and onboarding them in a pool of similar skill

All 3 of these ranked games were one-sided for my team or the enemy team, games were just complete stomps with a few of the players being the same in all 3 games.

Still completely unacceptable matchmaking. This wasn't just a skill problem it was a team composition problem. It's absolutely ridiculous how often low damage and utility characters end up on side up while all the strongest recently buffed and overtuned characters end up on the other team.

Two clear outliers here - on the winning team, Haze went 11-1, and Infernus went 24-4, meanwhile on our team, nobody had more than 4 kills or less than 4 deaths. Game ended in 20mins.

 

[Cpt. Lazlo Lazarus]

25797101: Likely hacking (or insanely good) vindicta on the other team, and a warden on our team that threw his lane and then brought his laners to my lane and caused us to lose it

 

[secretlands29]

ID:25801137 Literally unwinnable ranked match for our team. 3 farm heavy carries and 0 supports on our team against a balanced comp.

This is probably the worst stomping I have ever been on the receiving end of
