Ranked game Match id: 26951096
Vindicta goes 33/0/2
After observing her seems like wallhack and aimbot
We didnt stand a chance against guy like this even her teammates stated that something was wrong with her
First encounter with cheater after 150+ games
Some unranked games. I have found that the game is extremely difficult to win in general when I'm playing as a group of friends, but when I queue solo, I do extremely well. I'm pretty sure I'm similar skill as my friends, the games are just terrible overall and none of the people on our team are able to handle the enemies, not just me. Sometimes there are obvious examples of new players getting matched against highly experienced players, like this game where yellow lane had a 200-300% soul difference for the entire match.
26969373, 26956420, 26942294 are some miserable game examples where I queued with friends. Here are some games where I queued solo and carried: 26631656, 26868393

Match 26978884
Complete stomp by our team. The other team just fed way too much.
Complete stomp by our team. The other team just fed way too much.
7 ranked losses in a row, generally either caused by a severe skill gap from one or more players compared to others in the game:
26972628 - Wraith ranked too low and Seven ranked far too high
26968717 - Completely imbalanced teams
26963467 - Kelvin and McGinnis ranked too high compared to all other players in game, Abrams and Mirage ranked too low
26958564 - Mo & Krill ranked too low compared to all other players in game
26822922 - Seven ranked too high
26816026 - Paradox ranked too high
26810066 - Grey Talon ranked too low, Wraith and Kelvin ranked too high
Another couple of recent interesting ones:
26688879 - Viscous and Seven ranked far too high
26562891 - Abrams ranked too low compared to rest of team
More generally I have some observations:
- Obscurus players being matched with ranked players doesn't seem to work very well. The matchmaking doesn't seem to be able to judge them appropriately and generally they end up being a complete wildcard ranging from feeding and contributing nothing because they don't seem to understand the fundamentals of the game, to completely carrying their team.
- As we move through the weeks the ranks seem to be becoming less and less accurate. It's quite common for an archon to perform worse than an emissary or for a ritualist to perform better than an emissary. This is interesting because I'd have assumed the opposite would be true, ie. as the weeks go on, imbalances from unranked boosting would self-correct. Although it could just be that the boosting problem is so severe that it will take much longer than a few weeks for this to balance out.
- The general team balancing seems to have taken a massive dive. When ranked first came out the teams seemed to be far more well balanced, whereas now it feels more like there's a clear imbalance between the teams in almost every game. The skill gap between the teams often feels more like a chasm these days - I can't remember the last ranked game I played that felt like a real "gg" moment.
- Unranked matchmaking seems to work better than ranked at the moment. No idea why this would be, but the teams are generally much more well matched and as a result the games are much more enjoyable.

26991771 I've never complained about matchmaking before. This is the first game in nearly 600 games that felt like something was totally wrong. Everyone on the enemy team was denying orbs long into the midgame, which is usually rare around my rank. People usually relax but these guys were playing like they were on ti main stage. I'm sure there was a large party on both sides or something and their low ranks are not reasonable. These guys should all be eturnus or at least ascendant. They shouldn't be in a game with me imo.

I'm starting to get really frustrated with the ranked matchmaking system, honestly. Feels like I'm constantly paired with people who refuse to work as a team or play strategically and I'm afraid I'll be stuck in/around this rank forever.

Archon V lobby, 30k+ soul diff, griefing Warden on the enemy team.
Even though we won that game, I feel as if this shouldn't be fair with the solo queue treatment ranked has at the moment.
As much as I wanna go on a tangent about it, I'd rather say this match wasn't really fair, even to me.
