Bad Matchmaking Thread

34059564

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.

Was in a game where we were getting destroyed by a really good Lash player. Decided to look them up mid-match, and find out to no surprise they're a smurf. Valve you really need to deal with smurfs. They're just as bad as cheaters and only go into lower-level games just for cheap wins. Ban this asshole

After laning phase my team just snowballed and ended the match in 25 minutes, 152k souls vs 104k, 18 deaths on my team vs 38 deaths on the enemy team.

it seems this problem persists across all brackets. Every game, I get feeders on my or the enemy's team. When I lose it's because there are dudes who are 0/20. When I win, it doesn't even feel deserved, because I just get free kills from feeders on the enemy team.

my team was clearly not in the same skill bracket. team got five kills. enemy got FIFTY-THREE.

(why does it seem like matchmaking doesn't take overall played time into account? with my hours played i should not be put in ritualist 5 matches with players that don't know guardians can be parried or don't know where the secret shops are)

Emissary and Ritualist are the smurf zone ranks, i am 100% confident in this.

When I have Archon games, they seem actually sane, meanwhile Emissary is what you get when you mix a high rank player in a team with a spoofed fresh noob account. You might call this boosting, but I call this smurfing by proxy, should be bannable on sight.

I've stopped double-thinking and doubting, if the game goes 5-50, i just report everyone who has bullets flying behind corners, im done, let the Valve's AI deal with this. And if Valve is not working on an AI and feeding it data from these matches, then its over already.
 
This was an insta-queue into EU (I'm NA East Coast and get 80+ ping to EU) with a 9 subrank difference, I get that the matchmaker would have to compromise sometimes, but we weren't even in queue for an extended period. This felt really bad, and the Mirage and Pocket felt like smurfs to top it off (Or they were super high-rank while everyone else was about the same/correct rank)
