15 minute game, complete stomp. The only guardian the other team got was destroyed by troopers as we were invading their fortress.

Match 30608456

I am phantom 4 rank put into oracle 2 average game. Two of the players, which i assume are the low rank ones dragging the average down, went 2-14 and 4-14 (14k and 23k damage) in a 52 minute game. These super wide skill gap games are not fun.

45 minutes with a clueless team with 0 coordination, we just farmed ourside of the map until their lash and haze had 45k souls each and ended thegame.

I wanted to try out a new character, whole team got really stomped badly - 46kills to 6 at 24min. did not have competitive checked

 

[MeesterMeister]

Match ID: 30610255
Nearly 50k soul difference
27 Kill Difference
Granted I only have 17 games with Vindicta
However, I felt like my Seven may have been inting, did multiple low level turret dives and chased enemies too far at too far low of a level.

Cheers

please fix your goddamn matchmaker, your player count is dwindling for this sole reason most likely.

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

total 20 minute blowout, 50k soul difference, shiv on my team went 0/8/0, impossible to win this match

The mechanics of the game are so done that shooting skills don't matter. The winner is the one who has an advantage in farming at a given time. That's why every match follows the same scenario: one of the teams gets a 2k souls advantage, makes a frag, increasing the gap to 3k souls, and by 10 minutes this team is snowballing with no way to catch up with them in souls, since there are no tools for comeback in the game. It's amazing that most players don't realize that the core mechanics of the game are broken. No matter how the developers customize the matchmaker, a team of 6 players will always have either the strongest or the weakest player who will create an advantage in farming, which will be the reason why one of the teams will win.

game is not playable like this, losing lane is one thing but having someone out of controll feed and just run down is not acceptable. Make grief bans count more. 60k souls gap in 20 minutes is absolutly wild

almost 500 hours played

i have all but lost my enjoyment of this game because of terrible matchmaking

Ever since ranked queue was removed the matchmaking has gone from terrible to egregious.

30437799 - Zero macro, zero map control. Basically sitting hostage in base all game.

30439463 - Phantom II game when I'm Oracle 1? Team was completely decimated in only 17 minutes. Why is this still happening? Gigantic skill disparity.

30578217 - Another stomp. It was so bad the winning team even gave the other team a chance to come back.

30581362 - Another stomp

30582857 - Another stomp

30604302 - Another terrible stomp. The Haze was brand new with zero macro ability and disconnected when the enemy reached our base.

**Changing the queues has made the overall matchmaking quality significantly worse**. It's also taking *longer* to find games.

The worst part is my rank is dropping because of these games and so are the teammate skill levels. Those high quality, fair games I was enjoying in ranked queue are now gone.

We're feeling too many effects in this shrinking player base. General matchmaking was bad enough when Deadlock had 3 times as many players. I can see why everyone is going to Marvel Rivals even though it's not nearly as mechanically interesting.

match 30636124

Haze is hacker. every last hit and deny in lane. auto aim etc

pls take action @Yoshi

 

[goblingod]

30631831 seven paradox infenus had no idea what they were doing, vindicta had no macro. only dragged so long because the other team also had no idea how the game works. Oracle 4 average? The skill and gameplay knowledge was miles worse than that in Archon 1 lobbies.

 

[goblingod]

30641520 clearly duos vs everyone solo on our team, lost every lane.

 

[karsicc]

30644763 - wildly varied skill levels
30643811 - everyone on enemy team left
30641423 - 5v6 for the entirety of post-laning, 4v6 if you count the new player on our team
30639622 - same as #1
30633521 - same as #1, our Kelvin racked up 7k souls by the end of match with 0 items bought in laning phase. this one's the most ridiculous since it's clearly the very first time he's playing while I have 250+ hours clocked in


appreciate the concern.

 

[auswininger]

30646735 - Ended in less than 18 minutes, every player on the other team had double the amount of CS, none of my team had positive KDs

Would you please, for the love of god, finally fix the matchmaking. Every game is the same. EVERY GAME we have an uphill battle against much stronger enemies. Its not sometimes, EVERY GAME. We lose every lane, they are in our base when we dont even have their walkers. You can probably tell that this is not fun. Sometimes we can steal the win when they are too cocky, but we legit have NEVER EVER a chance. It is getting so boring, or do I dare to say frustrating? Why would anyone continue playing when the matchmaking is giving you a disadvantage in literally every game you play. I really love the game, but the game will probably bomb when you cant provide a fair matchmaking. And I would hate to see that.

These are with Extra Competitive on. I tried some matches at first with it off but was put in miserable games so I kept it on. Roughly 300 matches total, I have been at Ritualist * for awhile. I am not great but am not bad, I tend to play support which I like. But I certainly know what it takes to win, strategies, do and don'ts but still seem to be paired with and against people who seem clueless.

1. 30611690- The oh so balanced Haze mega farms with lucky shot and ricochet totally ruining the match balance
2. 30613055- My team was disjointed, were hardly together and going off on their own, other team stuck together like glue and ganked the hell out of my team
3. 30561610- Self evident skill gap
4. 30521462- My team had no carry players, just fed the other team, other team had heavy carries.
5. 30510595- My team stomped the others with little effort, I usually don't perform this well, it felt like I was playing against fairly new players.
6. 30511903- Big skill and soul gap, other team could've ended it sooner but spent a lot of time farming up.
7. 30509491- Other team preyed upon again by the oh so balanced Haze, didn't help they were pretty bad skill wise too
8. 30508404- Everyone on my team had a negative k/d, no one on the other team had a negative k/d
9. 30452581- Everyone on the other team had a negative k/d, only one on my team. Other team was not coordinated
10. 30451077- My team was on the defensive the whole time, which allowed for their OH SO BALANCED HAZE to mega farm with ricochet and lucky shot to end the game with a stomp.
11. 30188475- Heavy carries on my team made for an easy win.
12. 30186733- Warden on the other team was paired with a useless team
13. 30185436- Lash on my team dominated
14. 30042994- Massive soul and skill gap again
15. 30041173- My team fed the others smooth brain
16. 30247906- Match lasted 17 minutes due to ALL the carries on my team

Day of a 12/06 patch, Extra competitive off
17. 29982979- Miserable 80k soul spread

I was going to post some match IDs of ones I thought were balanced at the time, but looked back and couldn't consider them as such. Balanced matches overall are hard to find and became much more difficult after the 12/06 patch. Someone on my server uninstalled the game due to this patch. He was Ascendent 5 but got knocked down to Ascendent 2 because he was put on so many losing teams. This is a screenshot from him. This is gonna be my last week playing the game, then I am going on a hiatus. I really do like the game which is why I still play it despite the player count dropping. I will only be coming back when I can confirm the matchmaking balance as been resolved. The most fun games are when both team are similar in skill. They invade our base, we invade theirs, close calls etc. is super fun. One sided stomps are not fun on either side. Before adding new heroes, skins, items and so on, PLEASE fix the matchmaking balance. If it does not get fixed the game will bleed out and I won't be coming back.
