Bad Matchmaking Thread

27177229 possibly the best example of matchmaking not working i've encountered so far

i think they didn't even manage to get a single flex slot, half of our team just relaxed and did whatever because the enemy did not exist and put no pressure at all, no splitpushing, nothing

i keep getting matched into games with players who have less than 100 hours clocked in (when im at 400 and nowhere near that skill level) and its bizzare, not just the matchmaking but the fact that so many people just do not know basic mechanics after having played for so many hours.

every single player on the enemy team in this lobby had a private profile or didnt show gametime except for pocket, who had 247 hours in but apparently didnt understand the differences between solo and duo lanes??? how??? and talked like it was their first few games ever, im not sure if this is purchased accounts or what but being matchmade into these types of games is such a waste of time

another one: 27182950
two games after the previous one, this time i was the sandbag, got demolished in lane then couldnt get back and kept getting jumped by haze while playing janitor and trying to defend walkers, and just in general performing really poorly, but also most of my team was unable to do much of anything at all

third edit, RIGHT after the previous match: 27187891

not swearing at the devs but what the actual fuck is this matchmaking, yet again laned against some god gamer, team doesnt exist the entire game, no one talks, couldnt do shit around the map or in lanes and jungle gives less souls now, we briefly saw a glimpse of hope at like 18~20 minutes where we all grouped and deathballed for a total of 2 minutes then it went back to being beat down
this latest soul sharing change is exacerbating deathball meta and the unbalance in matchmaking and its extremely unfun

that's 3-4 games in a row (one wasnt posted because im not 100% certain it was unfair matchmaking), what the hell is going on. its straight up impossible to train my aim or learn new heroes currently, i just have to lock in my couple best heroes at all times just in hopes of being able to solo carry games, i really hope this will get fixed soon

This is actually demoralizing in every way you could imagine. what the fuck do you even do with this many griefers tbh. Worst ranked game ive expereinced. Like the matchmaker just broke entirely here to put the worst possible teamates on my team and im like a 62% winrate player easily each season, like wtf is this XD.

27215279 21m game 85k-152k stomp
27060194 22.5m in stomp 91K-145K (4-22 kills)
27058166 21m stomp 89K-136K

Most of my games recently have felt hopeless due to getting stomped or pointless due to stomping. I don't know if something changed or people are just making "smurf" accounts in unranked for some reason but I feel like the fun factor of close games has been non-existent recently.

How is the ranking matched together with such a large difference in ranks?
It's unbelievable that the purple and blue ranks match together

Match ID 27227979

Haze ragequit after 5D0K, fed the bebop, Infernus fed Warden, 4D
Match done In 19:51, No time to learn anything as a result, Just a really bad stomp
 
This felt like a pretty big stomp, especially when laining against their Yamato/Grey Talon. The match went from being okay to a god awfully unbearable wipe near the end. Also nerf Grey Talon. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CHARACTER. [ID: 27230466]

Awfully unbalanced set of Ranked games 27235228, 27232645

My team feeds 0/8 to 0/10 early and literally it's impossible to come back. The souls can be deceiving as the new patch makes shared farming when defending the base that catches up somewhat.
 
27244811 Game only lasted 15 min and not a surrender the enemy team was just that much better ig, but just felt a little polarising so thought i would drop it here

27244290 Ranked game

There was huge rank difference between teams.
We had two archons and couple oracles, they had oracles and phantom. Archons were underperforming as expected and we lost as expected.
Archon 3 is 57th percentile while phantom 1 is 82th percentile. Wtf?? This was very extremely bad matchmaking.
 
Ranked matchmaking is really terrible this patch. Lots of stomps.

They get 2 Phantoms and even an Ascendant while we're all basically Oracle?

A complete stomp in the ranked, lost <20 minutes. Barely managed to get 1 T1 at the end. Our team got steamrolled super hard, lost all lanes and it felt like the 1st game for my teammates. We had a phantom 3 McGinnis with 0 objective damage at the end.
