Just morons on my team. Straight up 2v6 every game. Russian majority lobbies are cancer and you need to ban VPNs. I am sick of dealing with people who go 0-6 in lane and just turbo feed an extremely easy midgame to some snowballing hero on repeat. Match quality is fucking dog shit since you merged ranked.

I'm emisarry 2 and there were multiple ascendants in the lobby and one player openly smurfing.

There are serious problems with match-making in Ritualist. Seems it is dropping totally new players to the matches and breaking the balance.
Usually there are limited voice calls in this elo but the following 2 matches were confirmed to have first-time players:
MATCH 29317227: Bebop, admits in chat to be playing 1st game (result 0-18-6)
MATCH 29596047: Bebop and Lash claiming on voice chat it is their first game (although on Lash replay you can see him knowing at least the principles)

Possibly new players are tossed too early to low-mid ranks
Playing with the flag mm_prefer_solo_only set to true

29641651 - The pocket had nothing to do in a solo lane against me. He was way better that I am.

Games like this are just not fun. 2 Players on one team extremely clearly ahead skill wise of EVERYBODY else in the game and the rest of the team is just trash to "balance" it.

Matchmaking is so bad, I have less and less incentive to play. Its not that the enemy is super strong or unbeatable, but the matchmaking shoves me players in my team that dont belong there. And it is always in my team, never the other way round where we have a fairly easy match. NEVER. Why is it still so bad after weeks and weeks.

I literally made an account because i've never played such a poor quality match. Very frustrating. Wraith clearly was leagues beyond anyone on our team.

Teammates in Oracle/Archon vs Ascendant enemy while I'm in Phantom. Basically been having games like this consistently since the last patch. Only having terrible quality matches since then. I am constantly being put in matches with people far from my actual rank with almost none of my games being balanced.

Entirely one sided with yamato/haze feeding green lane like thanksgiving. I definitely believe that the McGinnis was new and was hard shut down by the Abrams which lead into him being fed by a whopping 10 to 20k ahead of his team.

Match 29685475 Had two Brazilians connected automatically to NA East servers. They proceeded to go 2-12 and 5-13 with one of the duo having zero objective damage over 38 minutes. You are effectively killing your game.

Right side of the map got completely destroyed in lane phase and it was virtually impossible to make a comeback due to how bad they were playing from the start. Felt like it wasn't even a remotely even skill matchup.

Absolute stomping game. Could tell there was new players on my team. Lash on opponent team admitted to smurfing which probably ruined it.

Complete stomp. Other team was very coordinated. Half of my team was feeding all game.

Just because I'm on a 5 match winstreak on Vindicta doesn't mean you have to put me in a match where it's a guaranteed loss. I tried my best, but it was impossible with someone in my team always being dead. The opposing team had an emissary Haze who I didn't even see for most of the match, and when I did see her, I killed her. It didn't matter how many times I 1v2 or 1v3 killed them, they were just getting continuously fed. Lash was intentionally not defending any walkers and only chasing kills even though he was way behind everyone. Clearly, this is a mandatory loss because of performing too well during my win streak, but does performing well even during a loss with highest player damage, highest objective damage, 58% KP and 3.5 KDA mean that I'll only get matches where I'm expected to carry 4-5 teammates?

What's the point of me performing well if I get worse matches the better I do? How does an emissary Haze get a free win, but a ritualist Vindicta get a mandatory loss?
