Bad Matchmaking Thread

[cellmate]

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

This game is an example of bad picks matchmaking sometimes makes.
I was playing with 2 of my friends(Mirage and Shiv), and the matchmaker gave us another support hero, as well as Mo and Paradox.
Our only frontliner was Shiv and we did not do any damage to the enemy team since we had too many support heroes. If there was a hyperfarmer hero in our team, like Infernus or Seven instead of Dynamo, we could have dealt more damage to objectives as well as the enemy heroes, improving our chances to win instead of practically losing before the game even started.

3 of our players just had no clue what they were doing and the opposite team just farmed them.

@Yoshi @Yoshi Take note, I am giving you another set of cheaters I found for you again! Hopefully you can ban them this time please? not that difficult. here are the clips provided below. I lost 3 games in a row and those 3 games had 3 cheaters! its always a vindicta or bebop. PLEASE BAN THEM FOR GOD'S SAKE. EVERYONE IS REPORTING THEM AND YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING.

1st game - 34358125
1st cheater, look at her beautiful aim against seven, haze, and infernus! Especially at infernus. just watch her headshots and lock on when he went behind the wall as well. It auto lock. I do not need to say more, the clip provides context itself.

2nd Cheater. I was invi, i purposely went up the line to see if she would shoot me. LOL guess what she did and the pinpoint accurary to land on my head as well. Here is a second clip of the same cheater.

She is already tracing me from on top to my zipline. Roots me down and perfectly aims my head. I ran away but i purposely came back with invi in front of the walker to see if she would come for me. Guess what, she did. She could have ran away or thought i ran away because that is the normal thing to do but i wanted to see. As i was going back, she nicely traced me and shot me down! coincidence? no, walling.

2nd Game with another bebop cheater. Let me give you the analysis. From the first second, locking onto the creeps already lol. Dashes forward and aims at my pocket accurately! See how he traces my pocket after his suitcase is done. Almost like he has no recoil???? And this guy said he doesn't have any cheats and feel free to watch the replays. BAN THIS GUY. He has been hacking since 2024 as people have reported him and yet nothing is being done at valve???????????????????????????

3rd game in a row with another BEBOP CHEATER. TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY @Yoshi
AMAZING PARKOUR INTO A HOOK. Aimbots the hook. after that locks on the head of my Seven teammate. Directly after that he had to use aimbot for freaking boxes and breakable items. Then locks onto the head of creeps and then the guardian so smoothly! almost as if he is hacking???? Watch this clip and tell me he isn't hacking please i would love to be wrong. BAN HIM FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. HE IS A NEW ACCOUNT THAT HAS YET TO SETUP HIS PROFILE YET HE CAN ACCESS DEADLOCK WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITED FOR NEW ACCOUNTS? WHY AREN"T YOU DOING ANYTHING TO STOP THIS.

I find it hard to believe this was a Oracle game, practically the only person on my team not directly giving the enemy objectives/kills: 34371614

 

[Tired of Stun]

Stunlock, the game that never lets you play.
For real, if matchmaking is this bad that all CC is on the other team, then I might as well not touch the keyboard because that is what happened towards the end of the game. It's really not fun from a non-pro perspective, especially given that no draft or ban system is implemented to prevent such matchmaking skews from existing.

 

[globusrunning]

how did this happen? match id 34376270

 

[ratgoo]

there is no fucking reason this game should be in the state it is. i get that its unfinished but the matchmaking is so bad it is ridiculous. unevenly skilled teams, leavers, and getting lucky enough to roll the meta charcters are the 3 things that currently make deadlock horrible. i dont know what you devs think you are doing but the game is fucked. look at the player count if you want proof. no one but the top echelon of players are enjoying this and that is how a game dies before it even comes out. fix the matchmaking PLEASE.

match id: 34380988
the entire enemy team was just about eternus, with the enemy seven and vyper being eternus iv while im fuckign ARCHON V. actually fuck you devs for making me waste 23 minutes of my life with this match, its like the game isnt even trying.

[scausey50]

These morons have had dog shit matchmaking for 6 fucking months and they cant figure out why the game has a 10% retention rate. Can anyone explain how Yoshi has a job? What utter blackmail does this man have to keep this game in a constant state of utter dog shit. Can anyone with a job here say they can do their job with a 10% success rate and keep it? Absolutely not but this moron Yoshi is still in charge. What a genuine fucking idiot, you cant find 2 balanced games in 10 played. Its an utter joke you are allowed to keep a job while you kill this game before it even lifts off the ground. Not one fucking fix to matchmaking ever despite how utter fucking broken it is.

Genuinely what the fuck are the rank disparities in these lobbies. I keep losing these games horribly, thinking "geez there must've been a way I could've played that better", then I see the average team ranks, and I see that there's a whole ass Eternus IV on the other team.

The last game I attached both the Calico and the Wraith paused right before we lost, and I doubt anything's gonna come out of us mass reporting them.

@Yoshi Do you take your job seriously? This is a genuine question because I play your game everyday and yet I FIND THE SAME CHEATER I REPORTED YESTERDAY AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO THESE 2 IDIOTS CHEATER. WHAT GOOD IS THE REPORT SYSTEM IF THE REPORT DOESN'T GET ACKNOWLEDGE? i purposely hid behind the veil and just look at these 2 idiots aim locking my head behind the veil. THE SAME CHEATERS AS YESTERDAY THAT YOU DID NOT BAN. Goodjob.
BAN THESE 2

My first three party games with friends. These have been the three worst games I've played. My friends coming back after a hiatus have nowhere to go but stomps and toxic teammates. Definitely not playing party again and my friends are straight back to hiatus.

The game is incredibly inconsistent right now, I am playing games that are lost within the first 10 minutes of the game... Sinclare taking guardian in under five minutes and grey talon hitting for half health early game. Playing an hour-long game that was over early sucks so much.

ADD A DRAFT SYSTEM, ADD A FORFEIT BUTTON, IF SOMEBODY LEAVES THE GAME ID RATHER HAVE A BOT THAN AN AFK HERO SEEMS LIKE A NO BRAINER. I WANT TO LOVE THIS GAME BUT ITS SLOWING FALLING APART.

honestly I don't know what happened here, the rank says were even, but it didn't felt like it, 60k disparity of souls at the end of it. 27 minute match, and we almost double the kill count of the enemy.
