Dear Deadlock Team; Message 14: 4 Different images tell 4 different stories of how bad matchmaking is today. I played 5 games today and what do you know, I only won one where I had to play at least 30Mins+ but these other 4 games, phew. finished faster than you would take to acknowledge!. In 15minutes, the networth between both teams are already at least 25k. In just 15 MINUTES. You can say its a skill issue but when its with 15 other different teammates, surely it can't just be skill issue and instead its your bad matchmaking issue right?
I stand corrected, I played 8 matches today and lost 6 out of 8.
Lets dive into a deeper analysis of those games i lost that took me almost 30 minutes. For this below one, You really didn't provide me any help with teammates I see! you gave the enemy team at least 5 of them with positive KD whereas my team had to matchup against them and I had such a bad shiv and warden! no surprise there and my team's rank is 3 subrank higher btw(archon 2 vs emissary 5) and yet we still suffered.
Here is the 33 minute Loss, Will you look at that, i notice a pattern where my teammates with at least 3 of them will always have only 1 kill or 2 kill. and then you have me and one other random trying to help win the game but if you look at the enemy team, major difference!
Here is the 28Minute loss. What do you know, i got teammates that had only 1 kill, 0 surprisingly and 2!. and look at that damage in the span of 28 minutes. I will give you credit its the same rank v rank but are you sure the enemy is the same rank!? Your algorithm is improving in finding similar ranks but somehow the skill doesn't fit the rank which makes it a bad matchmaking.
Here are another 4 more SS I noticed before the 15 minute mark, and these images below are 4 other games than the 3 different images above! Wow would you look at that networth disparity. you guys really need to improve your matchmaking algorithm because you are getting feedback daily and I don't see you guys acknowledging it. If you guys just like it then we'll know you guys are listening and trying but so far, the feedback form after the game doesn't do shit.

Was top 500 EU as Ascendant 5 today then ONLY queued into Oracle averaged games and lost 12 games, worst matchmaking today ive ever had. Why am I queueing into ONLY these games today, Eternus average games are easier and more enjoyable than playing with a lobby of lobotomised apes, this is literally unplayable, I just wasted a whole day watching monkeys on my team get farmed. Why on earth is it even possible for Ascendant+ players to even be in the same lobby as people who are 3-4 ranks below. Every single ones of the games from 23/03 are oracle averaged, its a disgrace how poor the match quality is today

This was massively one sided, Dynamo and Bebop molested the other team. Everyone else on my team was just competent, did good communication with chat wheel. Ended in 22 minutes, could've possibly ended it sooner if we didn't retreat after taking out the Patron's first stage.
34214844 3/23/2025 Seeker/Infernus
My friend sent me this one and was surprised as the massive jump in skill from the previous game. One sided af. I have never seen such a clear example of a team being composed of smurfs. Much of Blue team played just like experienced players, it was indistinguishable from those in Emissary. Especially the Mo and Talon. If lower ranks are being invaded by higher rank players with alts, that shows how beyond broken matchmaking is. It is so bad in higher ranks people are not having fun and are making alt accounts to play lower ranks.

Ascendant vs Archon, We were rolling them so much we forgot twice to bring over the troops to damage the shrines or the patron

Same ranking but we had a Seven that died 18 fucking times, I couldnt do much better but still 18 fucking times in 25 minutes, and some of my deaths fucking happened because I was the only one bothering to kill the guardians, having the highest damage on it.
Both matches lasted less than 30 minutes

The last 3 games i have a lobby where it is quite hard to win becasue it is a team game.
I think in two of them the reason is cheaters.
Hopefully Valve can spend some money to create working anti-cheat.
Also for the last 2 days i play mostly at night maybe it is a reason, but I am an owl and i am not sure what is going on, but i am mostly placed in teams where it is almost imposible to win.
Also what I am noticed that if you play vs team where it is 3 ffat heroes vs you then it almost always the lose.
For example the team where is Lash,Bipo and Krill vs you other, It is highly hard to win because they all are tanky.
Maybe good idea not to place 3 FAT heroes vs THIN heroes in public matches

Infernus smurfing, possibly to downrank and thus boost Viper who didnt really belong in alchemist rank either.
Honestly I think I will shelve Deadlock, its just not worth the waste of time right now.
I do hope that everyone involved in smurfing will get hardware banned so hard they will need a new rig together with a new ISP to be able to play vs bots in deadlock.

Dear Deadlock Team; Message 15: Came back from work on monday to play 1 game of Deadlock for fun. To not my surprise, ANOTHER CHEATER BEBOP. Look at his tracking and aim lock, no stutter no jitter all smooth! every turn he makes when he aims he manages to find the head of my teammates! If you watch the end, just look at his beautiful aim lock on the guardian's head, so smooth like nothing is wrong! the same thing happened again as I reported yesterday in this thread further up in this page. It is very surprising how your algorithm is really really bad. You guys are worse than Ubisoft at this point because how do you manage to keep this up for months in a row? 17 Minutes in and 2 walkers gone, everyone is negative again and game ended 5 minutes after. To not my surprise, 5 of the enemy team are positive whereas my team are all negative! Just change the algorithm bro because you guys aren't helping. BAN CHEATERS AND TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATETLY PLEASE @Yoshi

Literally 2 cheaters (Infernus, Vindicta) who don't hide that they play with aimbot "For fun". I've seen this person on Infernus for the 3rd day in a row and he still hasn't been banned.

Shock another day after this, another 3 Ls in a row. Are you guys purposely trying to make my account lose? because it must be at this point. Let's do another analysis for Message 15, March 24th.
First game of the day, already losing 24k networth with everyone negative and the Bebop aimbot(he is still not banned, still playing deadlock happily). Good start to the day guys (34228807)
Second game of the day, wow would you look at that, the difference in kills are crazy! its like you guys think oh, the rank is the same, probably the skills are equal as well. I am here to tell you, wrong! because although the overall rank is the same, one is not like the other! Another bad case of horrible matchmaking. (34234194)
Final game of the day, thought it couldn't get any worse, it did! in 8 minutes, 12k lead, 0/5 0/5 0/3 1/1? an abrams and shiv losing in the same lane? of course it had to be on my team! To no one's surprise, this game ended in 20 minutes! and of course, the rank is oracle 4 vs phantom star! Wonderful matchmaking again. I'll come back tomorrow again to report on more bullshit that your game has and what these players are facing! look at your bad matchmaking thread vs good matchmaking thread. Learn and take the feedback in guys. You are a multi million - billion dollar company. Actually work on it and put in effort and provide updates. (34235119)
I appreciate you guys raking up my Ls, didn't know chinese new year came again so early. From yesterday's report to today. 2 wins in 12, might I say, amazing?

Seven is a dedicated troll. - takes jungle camps to deliver to the enemy team. dives tower nonstop and will sometimes simply stare at an enemy waiting for them to kill him. will follow teammates around in the jungle and tag creeps to split their effective farm. will push engagements to bait team into dying.
he spams the quick-comms rapidly. you cant mute it.
