Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match 29402468
Match 29395961

I should never have been put into these solo lanes. Why am I being placed against people that have vastly superior reaction time, solo lane knowledge, shooting ability, and gameplay ability than me. This has been a constant problem with the removal of ranked queues. I have an overall negative win rate on my account, why am I getting placed against very good players.
 
Overall game experience is completely terrible at the moment.

Skill based matchmaking does not exist; why are players starting their game ranking in ritualist/emissary when they have less than 50 hours in the game.

My last 12 games have been complete stop losses; , each of them taking around 30 minutes; that's 6 hours minimum of just unfair and unfun games.

Games include:

* 3 players on my team going a combined 4/26, Team total being 109k-135k souls. 15-37
* 2 players on my team going 5/21, team total being 172k-197k souls. 21-50
* 2 players on my team going 2-14, total being 147k-179k souls. 21-35
* 3 players on my team going 6-25, total being 151k-186k souls. 19-41
* 4 players on my team going 3-23, total being 175k-217k souls. 9-43
* 4 players on my team going 10-45, total being 189k-215k souls. 21-58
* 3 players on my team going 12-34, total being 249kk-267k souls. 29-52

How am I suppose to enjoy this game when I'm experiencing these types of matches?

Edit: Most of these games also result in a player disconnecting around the 25 minute mark. Why is this happening when the games are marked as 'emissary'.

grey talon feeding, then he proceeds to insult his lane opponent, then starts intentionally feeding to let them finish fast. During this he started trolling both teams. Solo queue, is a complete coin toss
 
After the update with the unification of the normal and rating modes, it became simply disgusting to play this game. I played before the update in the lobby of Ascendant 3 and higher, I was given 5 Ascendant in this update, and now I already have 6 phantom. It is impossible to play because in one lobby they can throw phantom 1 and Eternus 6. For me there are simply terrible players, but it also happens that the same thing is against me and the games last 15 minutes. There is absolutely no interest in playing because I am looking for a game of 10 minutes and praying that I will not be given another ritualists, and against me eternuses. I will attach a couple of screenshots for a visual example of the difference in my skill and the skill of my allies.

game after the one poste 30min ago:

comically huge skill difference between teams, haze ended with 7k dmg, 0/7/0, in 34minutes in emissary 3.
No way this is normal. Solo queue is a coin toss
 
I am Ascendant 3. For three games in a row, I have been placed in lobbies far above my own skill range. Two of these lobbies were in Eternus (with one being Eternus 6, with both hydration and lefaa in my game) and one was averaged at high ascendant, but the skill disparity was very much still there.

29399662
29410022 (match with highest disparity by far. average of both teams Eternus 6)
 
Deadlock from August of this year until unranked removal was the most fun I've had in any game since 2020. Since the latest removal of unranked, and merge to everyone being in ranked I have had the absolute worst quality games ever. I would say about 50% are unplayable due to my teammates having under 50 hours in the game or not even attempting objectives. I have 229 games played, and 97 of those on Abrams who I mostly play. But almost every game, my teammates have clearly just installed the game and don't have the first idea what to do.

Some match ID's of matches I'm talking about -
29409493
29162781
29258350

each have multiple teammates with little to no objective damage

Why am I continually getting put with new players when I have 229 games and 253 hours?

-2 teammates under 49k souls at 39 mins.
-Enemy team rolled us most teamfights
-Bebop going 6/18/4 and seven going 1/11/5
-Enemy team either didnt have many deaths as well as having plus 10 assists on everyone
-McGinnis at sub 500 objective damage as well as Seven being at zero and dynamo below 500
-Paradox at 61k player damage while i was closest with 52k and then the enemy at 41k
-Bebop was under the impression that they "won lane" even though they didn't get guardian and their objective dmg/deaths/enemy kills do not reflect this

Genuinely the worst match I've ever played. My lane partner was intentionally feeding because he got the same bad teammates from his last match. The shiv was griefing and intentionally not defending objectives, just chasing fights and feeding. Then both of them started arguing in VC and calling each other slurs and stuff, while the abrams was also feeding. The rest of us just gave up. I've removed this match from my memory as if it never happened.

We won this game because two of us carried, but matchmaking really fucked up and put a brand new Dynamo player in our team against multiple good players. He didn't know what his skills did or what the soul urn is. Felt bad for him, because I realized he was new in early game, but he was just getting clobbered by players who have hundreds of hours in the enemy team.
