Bad Matchmaking Thread

Hey Deadlock team, another day another post I make again in this thread. The first game you put me in a Phantom lobby vs Ascendant when I am only in Oracle. Your matchmaker did a horrendous job at pairing me with a bad team of phantom against an eternus lobby and its not even my teammates fault because of the high rank gap. You then put me in a second game with emisarry vs emisarry but my team actually played like emisarry and the enemies played like Oracle because just look at the deaths and kills of the enemy team vs mine. 20/1 Yamato against 1/14 and 2/12 wraith and infernus. How am i supposed to win when they got better smurfs on their team? Just make your matchmaking like Dota please because this matches are bad. 60k networth difference in 27 Minutes lol, joke.

This is called match-making therapy. It lets you suffer until you get that one good game before plunging you into another suffering round.
Also, as a better player, you will be a donkey to carry those on a losing streak.
 
Me and my team chose to stay AFK in base as a way of "conceding" since the matchmaker failed. the enemy team was steam rolling us

I don't even know what led to this imbalance. Crazy. Did we play with players that have <5 games experience? One of our lanes went 0-24. Ouch.

Ritualist 1 team matched with a Phantom 1 team. I ranked down from Alchemist 2 to Alchemist 1 after this game.

This is simply the most egregious in a long streak of wildly unbalanced matches. All I've been getting these past few weeks is just stomp after stomp.

The rank system works quite poorly now too. I was mid Emissary in December when I took a break. I came back in March and ranked down to Arcanist after one match, then Alchemist after a couple more. The people in my rank seem to have utterly wild differences in skill, to the point where it feels like whether I win or lose is completely out of my hands.

Overall terrible match for the enemy team, two out of three lanes were overwhelmingly one-sided, we had 2x times the souls as they have at the of the match.

Yo deadlock team, I wonder if you guys take this thread seriously. Because how am I finding teammates that are constantly levels below the enemies? like the skill gap is so big even in the same rank. Its like you give me one high ranked teammate and all the others are low ranked against an enemy team that are much better. Just look at the kills and see for yourself. How are you able to consistenly find me enemies that have at least 5 enemies that are positive KD and only less than 2 in my team that are positive. This is a constant in all my losses and I lost 7 out of 8. Fix Your Matchmaking in the next update I beg because extra competitiveness option works for the enemy and not for my own team. What a useless option if it doesn't work.

Guess how I managed to win that one game? Because you paired me in a team of Archon against a team of Ritualist. Pathetic

34053507 : the shiv super dives objectives feeding and tilting the whole team after we asked him to stop. the whole team reports him
34054156 : the very next game I go up against him but he's paired with the # bebop in NA

please don't match players consecutively if they've reported or been reported by each other.

Mixed 3 party, two seekers and one who just got to Arcanist 1. I think I remember someone saying that if you have a big skill difference in the party is weights you closer to the top end, but the average rating was brutal and we got steamrolled.Deadlock screenshot..png

Had three Hero Lab matches in a row where we had two griefers on our team ruining the game. The Calico was just prioritizing a build running around the whole map doing nothing in Ava (Xoland) while Greg Talon was playing normally at first then starts to grief at some point later in the game, one offender playing bebop and using hook + healing beam to pull people back. Please do something about these two.

Guys I ran out of words. Look at this. The enemies were extremely coordinated and knew what to do, while my team has a Haze and Infernus who would just charge in and die, or would just refuse to run away when they were able to run away, and it's not even a joke if someone says they behave just like how the bots in this game would. It's not that they weren't able to do anything, they were not doing anything! I highly suspect that these players are very new to the game, and my gut feeling is that they were matched into this game to make up for the Ritualist rank game on "average". Wtf is this logic guys? And if they end up quitting this game because of the bad experience with the players, do you really think it's on the players for being toxic and not your broken ass half ass matchmaking system? The players could turn toxic only because of your pathetic matchmaking system alright?

Yoshi, if you're seeing this, name this thread to "Pathetically bad matchmaking thread" alright, because this is how the games feel like.
