I'm not even high enough elo to be experiencing this or so i thought but i was put into a lobby of people ranks below mine and the enemy team wasn't as unbalanced and was a more homogeneous rank albeit they didnt have a singular much higher rank? I often see eternus streamers suffer from this, but I'm low ascendant, surely there arent just not enough players for a full ascendant lobby anymore? The queue was abnormally longer before this match, can I have some sort of indicator pop up while I'm in queue after the matchmaker gives up finding a good match for me? I'd rather keep requeueing for some time and know that i either play now and suffer or try again later. Like, knowing what choice I have would be nice
I've been in so many games like those, except on the losing side. It's definitely aggravating. ;-;2 weeks ago I played four ranked calibration matches, which (at least according to deadlock tracker) were Oracle 3 (win), Phantom 3 (win), Phantom 4 (loss), Oracle 6 (loss). This aligned well with the rank of my matches pretty much since I started playing like 3 months ago, over my 200+ matches. However, I didn't play enough to calibrate. Now, since the most recent matchmaking patch, I figured I'd play a few and get placed and was placed at Emissary 6. Since then I've gone 10-2 with the following KDA's.

My best guess at what happened is that roughly a week before the update I played only a few matches and with some lower rank friends (one somewhere in arcanist, the other in archon) and lost a few. If my rank is based on the previous week only I suppose I could see how this happened. For some more context, according to deadlock tracker I'm 1722 ELO, top 1% of players, and top 2% lash, my match history is almost exclusively oracle and phantom except for when playing with lower rank friends. Regardless, I'm stomping pretty much every game now and people in my matches are complaining about balancing because of it. I was hoping that I'd climb fast or get caught by some sort of smurf detection but it took 8 consecutive wins to rank up once to Archon 1 and I’m still like 11 ranks away from what I normally play at. Frankly I feel like I’m just ruining people’s games and also feel robbed of the previous 200 games I’ve played.View attachment 30853View attachment 30854View attachment 30855
P.S. I was actually pretty drunk playing some of these matches. So I was literally playing better than my teammates while plastered. Maybe they were all drunk too, idk.Match ID: 29080329
This match was insane. I was winning my lane pretty well. Not stomping, but up by a good bit. But the whole time, I'm seeing every other lane getting stomped by the enemy team. Like, they the guardian was destroyed before 10 minutes. And then I got rotated on by a fed Lash and it was just downhill from there. It felt like my teammates just instantly lost any and every fight if I wasn't there. There were some good plays from the Bebop and the Ivy, but overall, it almost felt like they were all intentionally feeding.
I wouldn't care that much if this was in the causal queue, but, of course, that doesn't exist anymore. So now my rank gets penalized because I get paired with obscurus players (I asked everyone, and one of the serious answers I got was from the Pocket). And this is what my last 3 games have felt like.
I'll post them, too.

29087150 berry one sided gameUse 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
