Bad Matchmaking Thread

[corfor]

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

Reported 2/3 of enemy team for smurfing/cheating. Either they were playing way below their skill level or they were cheaters. Side possibility is a super-coordinated party, but still that doesn't change what most people in my rank know how to do tech/limit-testing wise. People dont play like this in my rank. Weekend games like this are more common than through the week. Games like this are more common in general since ranked was taken away as a game mode.

Hi, I'm writing a review about the new ranked games system! I can say that this was not quite the right decision, because beginners who have just entered the game are thrown to players with experience! this may have a negative impact and, to some extent, bullying by more experienced players. Still, you need to separate the rating and the usual games

I think I'm in the wrong skill rating, making the game entirely unplayable for me. The game is claiming I'm oracle 5 but these are my past 4 full games where I got absolutely demolished in solo lanes and most team fights. I would genuinely like an MMR reset so I don't have to grind through tons of losses to drop to a more fun playable online experience. Until then I really only want to fight bots with friends.

it feels like sometimes you get games where smurfs run the show and leavers make it feel 10x worse, sometimes you get very balanced games

The new system has been horrible for hero labs matches. It seems like every game has some severe mismatches in lane. Regular matches seem fine though, but I do notice that there are far less players using their microphones. I feel like I'm talking into the void which sometimes feels worse than a lopsided match.

Not even slightly ashamed to admit that the very game after this I had a duo feed to a bebop in sub 30 seconds and decided to just take a ban because the matchmaking is that bad right now. I’ll play again next patch.

As for the game in question, basically every lane except for me and Talons is mega feeding. It’s not a complete stomp, but it’s obvious from moment one that our team simply has no idea what it’s doing compared to the others. What the hell even happened? I played exclusively casual prior to this patch forcing me to play with mmr in mind, and games like this and ones I’ve reported in the last few days felt far more like exceptions than rules. Can you please just put it back the way it was?

Match 28951548

The match lasted 43 minutes. But it was a slow grind to defeat. The few times there might've been glimpses of a comeback my team didn't capitalise on it, they seemed to lack any idea of how the macro game worked; I swear some of them thought this was team deathmatch or something.

Hour long game. It's miserable for a game to go on this long, people start to want to lose just so the game can be done with.

 

[spoot]

This was good team, but we didn't stand a chance against their Bepop. We would gank him, push, then as soon as they're up we would get pushed back again. I kind of feel sorry for the Bepop too because they had to carry their team so hard; but, at the same time that made it easy for them to co-ordinate.

The game did almost last an hour, but the only main obj we got was one shrine. One of their walkers was up for most of the game too.

19 min match enemy team got only 4 kills in total very wide skill disparity

Basically all matchmaking right, since ranked was taken out, now feels terrible. Most games you either destroy or get destroyed. The ones that are not like that have at least one person who looks like they were thrown in the middle without learning the game or heros.

28964429: Lash seems to be first time playing period
28961583: All the enemy team. No fun playing games where people seem out of their rank and leave game
28953321: Abrams and McGinnis seem out of their rank
28943045: Geist, haze, seven seem out of their rank
28940182: What did Dynamo even do all game?
28928264: Bebop was out of his rank

This new patch broke the game, undo everything.

25 minute game, 50k soul lead. It was never even remotely close.

28992340
40+ minute game, constant 40k soul lead. Slow but certain death.

Tied to play with a 6 stack of friends.

18 min game, 56k vs 134k. We ranged from alchemist to archon. We fought the 42nd best NA Infernus and the 60th best NA Haze

 

[spoot]

It seemed like bepops first game ever, they spent a lot of their time in base looking at items. Talon almost destroyed the first shrine before mid-bass spawned and they kept pushing base after that because it was basically 4v6 the whole game. About the same with Infernus, except they were playing as if it was a single player FPS. They didn't bother with the Urn or mid, they didn't have to.

I was also killed by mo because they were able to just walk right past the guardians into our base after being fed so much.

Matches are either like this or we loose and im the best in my team ALWAYS. It is hard to rank up when EVERY SINGLE TIME my team is holding me down
