how is this oracle 3? 40k soul diff in 20 minutes. infernus does not understand that if another lane loses tower the enemies are coming for you next. also I am archon 5 core rating with viscous having a lower rating so what is this?

Seems like 2 new players got put in an archon game with Extra Competitive on. One player even got so tilted they sat in spawn the rest of the game after laning. 67k soul gap

Match 30046849 Basically a seal clubbing lobby. Not fun at all for the opposing team outside of our Shiv having a tough time with Geist in lane.

this patch needed to make some major changes both to matchmaking and balance and it miserably failed at both, the only time matchmaking was workable was when we had actual ranked that was locked to solo queue


from 80% winrate in ranked at a higher elo to whatever this dogshit is, is it really matchmaking or is it just that half the roster is obscenely overtuned? I think it's actually the latter which makes it all the more frustrating, losing games to the same couple op heros piloted by players that are actually worse than you but it doesn't matter cause they do enough damage to kill you instantly and take reduced damage while they do it!

I used to think people saying the game was dying were just trolls but it's definitely happening and at this rate it won't matter if you stick it on the front page of steam cause there will be close to zero player retention...

I have 640 hours in deadlock, I really want to play the game I invested so much of my time into again. I felt like I was getting better at the game when ranked was out, I was climbing, I had an impact on my matches. That feeling is completely gone, every match feels like a coin flip that comes up heads or tails before you even load in.

Particularly upsetting game. This was with the competitive queue mode on. Yamato and I were the only lanes that didn't lose and we did our best to gank the other lanes to try and save them, but how can we do that when the entirety of our team is losing? Super frustrating.

try asking around in your lobbies and see who does and doesnt have the competitive queue option on (hint: it doesn't do anything)

tried to take a little break from the game and you pair me with a 1-11 dynamo who lost us the game in under 15 minutes by feeding lashView attachment 32305

Where exactly is the "Frontline" in my team?

 

[lucastret23]

30056299

Unbalanced right from the get go, we weren't able to do anything through the match plus my team got frustrated and became toxic. Tons of ganks and team wasn't communicating anything at all. Awful and frustrating experience. (please give us an FF option)

 

[monstobusta]

Team simply did not communicate, whether through pings or voice. Felt like my comms weren't heard. Normally wouldn't mind this in a casual match, but this does not feel appropriate for a match done under the "Extra Competitive" toggle.

Teams were unbalanced in Amber's favor, even before the Shiv ragequit

 

[Emily Vasquez]

Hey Valve, can you improve your matchmaking instead of just making it a half-measure? We got stomped so hard we didn't even get to grab a flex slot. Sure the last match I had was actually balanced, a rarity in this game, but the last two games involved my team and I stomping the others. P much a lot of the games nowadays are just stomping one another [ID: 30063449]

This was a little bit shocking to me when i figure out that i was playing versus players who have Oracle ranks where my rank is Archont II
Well we got in this match stomped by Sapphire flame

 

[apexerr]

keep making the matchmaking worse

 

[airvenoms]

Match ID 30069531 Another loss to lose streak because of fantastic matchmaking, my team is always getting steamrolled.

This game hasn't started, but it's over.
I think Riot will make a better DEADLOCK someday.
