Bad Matchmaking Thread

Hello.

I truly mean it when I say Deadlock has become increasingly frustrating to play. I cannot place my exact finger on it, but of the past 9 games ive played over the span of a few days, I only won *one* of those games solo queuing, and two of them when i was queued with some friends, one of whom is a player considerably higher rank than me. I hardly ever have fun solo queuing anymore. It always feels like the matchmaker is placing me and my team against other people who are far more coordinated or just flat out far better than anyone else on my team. And it sucks! because a few patches ago I always had fun playing this game! Matches should generally average about 30 or 45 mins to complete. So when I look at almost every single one of my recent matches being under 30 mins long (some even being under 25...) I cannot help but express my disinterest in playing this game. I shouldn't be forced to play with my friends to actually have an enjoyable experience in this game. I really hope this sudden outburst of bad matchmaking is being investigated by valve. Because everytime I open this thread, my belief of the game having gotten considerably less fun is only reinforced. Below are the 9 matchIDs I refer to, in no particular order.

Once again two people with no rank. Stop putting those without a rank in rank play with others who have ranks. vindicta and paradox OBJ damage wasnt even 1k two people with no rank having no impact on the game and no game sense. Stop putting those who arent ranked with teammates who have ranks
 
Your ranked system needs a fix for sure, a majority of the ranked games I get people that put up tour dates 3/12, 5/13 not to mention their laning phase they feed 5+ deaths.

27345395 - Is 1 example but their are multiple spread throughout my ranked match history.
26744871 - Same with this bebop how is this guy Phantom IV he goes 0-7 and does absolutely nothing.
26628963 - The bebop on Sapphire being Ascendant V is crazy he should not be that high putting up those horrible numbers.

Like no shot their ranks are accurate.

What the hell is this garbage? 4 brand new players on my team, all of them got completely destroyed in lane and shoved into base after only 15 minutes. Zero macro, zero mechanics, zero awareness, zero communication. Why is this possible? Did we just end up on the wrong side of a grouped match?
 
curent matchmaking is extremely unfun. constantly unbalanced teams with regards to mmr. I am currently at Oracle 5 and it shows. Going to take a break from this game until the next patch.

This non-ranked matchmaking is getting to the point where playing with AI teammates would be a better overall experience. There is no way this game survives if casual matchmaking is this poor on a consistent basis across the community. 1731310283443.png Match ID: 27368792

This is ranked.

Make it make sense. The Paradox is Archon 3, I completely destroy her in a solo lane twice. The vindicta is a higher rank than Bebop and she gets destroyed.

The bebop comes to the lane I'm pushing to gank me and kills me alone every time because Vindicta fed. Every other lane gets absolutely destroyed, I'm the only one that won lane and actually did well.

I know I should be at least Eternus realistically and got a lot of teammate disconnects and trolls each week I played, but this is just nonsense. I need to play more in general to get my rank up because I haven't played very much, but when I'm trying to climb and get players like this consistently, there's nothing I can do.

I'm not really enjoying being forced to carry teammates that are brand new or worse than AI substitutes. This game will speedrun through whatever good will is left with its playerbase. 273778751731320876660.png
