Rank: Ascendent II
Region: Oceania
Although it wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, so I'm unsure if there was any actual change to how the game decides who to place in a game based on their MMR etc, I have noticed a very significant MMR/Skill difference in players I match with since the recent update. Unlike other previous patches where the player skill seems to be roughly the same and I notice the same players that are near my rank or higher, almost all my matches after this patch have included incredibly lower MMR players and lower ranks I have never in my entire 1000 hours of Deadlock I have ever seen or knew existed.
Currently ranked Ascendent II and I am consistently entering Ritualist/Emissary lobbies, and for the first time ever I experienced Arcanist lobbies, not once, but twice back to back. Even in lobbies that showed it was only a few ranks below me, many of the players showed incredibly low skill which I assume were even lower ranks being mixed together. I know my region is lower player base so I expect to get lower ranked lobbies like Archon/Oracle, but getting Arcanist and consistently Ritualist is incredibly awful matchmaking right now. Again I'm not sure if this is related to the patch or just happened to occur during my queue times, but basically every single game (15+?) after this patch have just felt very bad/unfun with very little engagement in fights or laning due to the skill difference being so wide between so many players.

Also bonus: Current cheater in OCE who played all morning today, had them twice in a row called Marissaulrica25183, aimhacks/wallhacks very very obvious. They were even turned into a frog one game but for some reason they werent banned (possibly just made a new account). Everybody confirmed that they were cheating and also consistently mentioned they were cheating in other games too. Hopefully they are banned soon.

I climbed all the way to Emissary. Was having great games like this:
What does MM do? Starts giving me double digit feeders like always. I'm almost always 2nd MVP of the match but I can't do shit when the fuckers on the other side of the map are at 10 and 12 deaths. Get knocked to Arcanist. So what does MM do? PUTS SEEKER LEVEL IN MY LANE AGAINST ORACLE PLAYERS
Why does the enemy get an oracle and an Emissary and I get seeker and Arcanist? Why couldn't we have the Emissary?
Your fucking shit ass MM has tanked me back down to seeker rank with mouth breathing retards
Like WTF am I even supposed to do in this situation? The other 5 got a whole 3 fucking kills and I was there to set up every one of them. All they do is go in alone and die or chase the fucking wraith around the map and leave me trying to stop split pushes.
Your MM is complete and utter fucking garbage. You don't know how to balance, so now objectives melt and the team with the Wraith/Seven/Holiday win. Guess which team got given all 3 of those fucking heroes. Your developers are actually fucking brain dead.

Firstly these games are way below my rank, second I got the same 2 human trash players in both games and they went on an incredible feeding spree.
And my lane partner infernus literally manually fed every cs to my opponent.
Kinda insane.

New farm mechanics make it excruciatingly difficult to turn feeding early game into an even fight. We team up and kill Yamato several times but she immediately just comes back and makes a ton of souls on respawn. Seven doesnt know how to survive or take farm. Matchmaker made mistakes here. Fix this please! Stop letting AI write your code!

@Yoshi and everyone looking at this. like my comment please because the rank disparity is just laughable. Arcanist against ascendant lol. not ritualist, not emissary, not archon, not oracle, not even phantom, but ascendant. joke. ever since you updated the game you fucking messed up the matchmaking. 6 whole ranks difference. 6. joke

Two games where 1/2 of the team seemed to struggle with stuff like early game, objective trading, and macro. Definitely a lot of things I could've done better to win, but good lord these people are losing lane really early and then 3-4 enemies show up in my lane.
