Bad Matchmaking Thread

28845230
EU late evening game but that was miserable for the enemy, ivy was the only one that felt like they were in the right lobby, i had the mm solo convar enabled, so i dont think she could've been in a party with someone. Match would've ended at minute 15 if not for the new anti ending mechanics with patron
 
Some hours ago Yoshi was asked in discord "Hi yoshi - I had a question about MMR. Is every stat part of it? Some people saying healing doesnt help mmr", Yoshi answered "only win loss atm".

I was Oracle IV before patch, and then my ranked changed to Oracle X (the same hour patch was out), I have played 5 games in last two days being Oracle X. All of them were won by my team. Last my game was half an hour ago and after winning it I have checked my profile and I for some reason have Oracle V there.

My steam profile is https://steamcommunity.com/id/pawncloe/

Game id after what I was deranked is 28838992

These were my games after the last big patch, they were all crap in some sort of way. Game feels off by a mile, before I only played ranked now there is no ranked mode. New match making is horrible, either you get stomped or you stomp, the skill difference between players is huge, half of the game characters are broken.

I feel like you guys have made so many bad decisions through the last months that the player base will just disappear. From making changes to the UI that nobody asked instead of fixing the crosshair and centering it, fixing FOV and so on to stupid changes to characters, like bebop, talon, vindicta, shiv and so on. So many changes every month making the characters either unplayable or broken.

To be honest I have no expectations from now on, the game will die eventually if you keep going down this path and dont listen to the community as a whole. Im taking a break from deadlock like many players have done and are doing, I hope you do the same.

I truly hope you close the game, work on it in closed doors for months and bring somehting decent to the public after that, cause otherwise I dont think the game will last very long.

If you want me to explain some of my problems with this game after 400 matches feel free to dm me and I really hope this game gets better
 
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

Bad match. Un-fun from start to finish
 
It's over. This game is finished.
Literally every match now is a one-sided shit stomp, it's not even close, ever.
This can't be a coincidence, it's happened too many times in a row. For some reason, they've ENSURED that every match is hideously unbalanced.

The game was already hemorrhaging players before due to consistent mismanagement. This latest catastrophe has successfully strangled Deadlock in its cradle.

Unplayable.

I know this is meant to be a bad matchmaking thread but the matchmaking seems to be a lot fairer now. My games are all significantly longer (30-40min games) and I haven't had a single stomp yet. I still get the random Eternus 4 in the lobby, but it appeared he was balanced out with an Ascendant 4 player. Overall, 10/10 changes so far.
