Bad Matchmaking Thread

1739512711425.pngMy team was 50k souls down at 15 minutes and still just smashing their faces into the enemy team over and over. Only reason any of them got kills was killing people in our pit as the enemy team tried to end. If this isnt matchmaking issues i dont know what is
 
I am ascendant 3. In this match (ID 32944732, I am the Abrams), I was placed against the rank #1 player NA in lane (before I begged for a swap and was granted it). This should mean that I am of equivalent skill level to that person, as the algorithm decided to place them against me at the beginning of the game. You might think this flaw could be caused by the possibility that I am the highest rank on my team, meaning I was the best match, but this also is not the case, considering I had rank #53 NA on my team (Jarate) and they were NOT automatically placed in lane against the rank #1.

This is exceptionally disappointing matchmaking and literally does not even make sense if the algorithm was functioning as it is intended to.

Currently Ranked around Emissary 6 - Archon 3, Friend is also ranked around Emissary 6 - Archon 3
Match 32888250: Q'd duo with friend and changed the matchmaker rule to prioritise Same Lane. Get put in two opposite lanes instead of with each other, and then the people in the other lanes are probably in the two bottom ranks, see the average rank above. This average rank is two tiers below the ritualist average rank on the enemy team and we got absolutely slaughtered. Friend and I would likely have been the highest ranking in our team, but some weights are too heavy to carry.

Infernus on the opponent team open admitted to this being their first match, and I'm almost certain it was Bebop's first, too, Was a total stomp on every lane except ours.

The Loss:

Pretty sure OUR Infernus and Yamato were new, with the former working off what I think was the Default build and the latter being off in Narnia while we were fighting for our lives to protect our Patron. Everyone on the other team was far and away above our skill.
