Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID: 27006509

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.

27009035 team folded over from gamestart and was unable to stop anything a single time, i got us two urns that kept us in the game for a bit longer but learning a new character, couldnt carry

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.
 
MatchID: 27025236 > I fell with 4 or 5 players who seemed new to the game, until then I didn't care since I wasn't ranked, but when I saw the stats at the end and analyzed the gameplay there were only 2 players who seemed new on the other side; looking at the stats now there was no chance that I could win this match even before it started.image.png
 
Worst one I've played in IMO. The poor guys didn't stand a chance. 14 minute game with over 30 kills vs 2 kills

lost match even though enemy player left within 10 mins and never rejoined. idk how we were supposed to win if we didnt even win 6v5
 
First ranked match of the day, and we again have entire team that is clueless how to play the game or their hero. All they do is feed. We lose all 4 lanes, and all buildings before we are able to get a single guardian. How is this top 10% of ranked players? Come on Valve... this is a joke. ID: 27077047

Second ranked game, same absolutely clueless feeding teammates. ID: 27082178

Can I just have a like a normal game? What the hell is going on? I've lost all my rank gains from the previous week to games like this. Why are clueless calibrated players put in phantom which is top 10% ? That's crazy.

Edit: just had a look though the infernos match history, and most if not all of his games are similar score. Absolutely underperforming, going 1/9 at the end. Why not place him in the lower brackets where he clearly belongs? How is he end all the way into the ascendant badge? Valve, start taking stats into account.... this is ridiculous. So many ruined games.

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help

Match ID: 27077617, I mean this is beyond a joke the skill gap between these teams. Mo and me (Wraith) absolutely stomped our opponents in lane, and by the 15 minute mark it feels like we're shooting rubber bullets. Team showed little to no common sense or game knowledge and failed to collaborate on any single play.

:26499823 I actually uninstalled the game after this for a while. Can't say exactly what it was, but Bebop hooking me from as far back as he did towards the end was the cherry on top.
:27070722 team failed to collaborate again on anything. Haze 1-12, with zero situational awareness. Definitely seemed like a game with newer players.
:27081286 finally a game with some OK team mates, McGinnis still did 6k damage in 41 minutes, same as Mo. Viscous was decent yet provided absolutely nothing for the team, went 17-6 but spent the entire game backlining and going for kills and kept feeding then rolling away.

I've won 6 of the last 16 matches and 2 of the last 8, I can't possibly see an incentive to keep playing at this rate. Winning lane means nothing, losing lane somehow is game over. I've played against the same opponents over and over despite them walking all over me. Mentioned this in general gameplay, but Bebop who seems to be very strong at the moment, I've had on my team 3 times in the last 16 games and played against him 7 times. In my mind it's not just the skill of the players that are being pitted against each other but the common win rates of certain heroes.

I might do a check as I noticed it in a private bot game the other day, I think I had 9 or 11 kills and 1-2 deaths and was nearly out farmed by a bot Geist who was 3-6. I can't see any consistency for how one player out farms another.
