Bad Matchmaking Thread

[fifthygames]

Ok valve explain this dumb shit right now
I am a e6 one trick mo krill player and in the previous patch i can get mo krill 100% of the time like no joke i played him for like 600+ matches straight now i can barely get him 2 in a row, when i check statlocker the player that are getting my mo krill are literal oracles and below and again i dont hate them the most confusing part is why can't the matchmaking just find me another game where i can play mo krill? why does it force me to play another hero that i literally haven't played in my entire life, and this is not even a math issue haze has a 90% pick rate while mo has like 40% and with the higher player count it should mean that i have a easier time finding mo krill games but no its the reverse when the player count was literally 13k and below i was having still terrible matchmaking(because eternus matches are rare) but at least i get mo krill everytime but now its that but i dont get mo krill at all, this only started when the big update patch was release so maybe they changed matchmaking to be good for returning players but in the cause of loyal players

This was not a real game. I don’t know why you removed the option to report a “Matchmaking issue,” because that’s exactly what this was. No one went for objectives, comms were constant but useless, and the match was a complete waste of time. I spent 35 minutes on this when I only have time for 2–3 games a day.

It’s always the same pattern: I get 1–2 decent games, then the next matches are terrible and completely one-sided. Nothing can be done.

Please bring back the option to report matchmaking issues. I can’t leave these games without being penalized, so I’m forced to sit through unwinnable matches no matter how much communication, direction, or effort I put in.

Cheating/Smurfing Haze, BAN CHEATERS OR THIS GAME DIES IN BETA

 

[hattrickswayze]

dont wanna be that guy, I get theres new heroes but running into guardians with 1 hp and intentional dying is not how that works. Laned with billy he died about 9 times in 6 minutes and continued to fight and just die. This game was over from the start. This is not what archon 4 should look like. Also end game 57 kills to 20. Very unbalanced

 

[Pine654]

Queued 17 games for Billy on high priority. Never got him. Matchmaking is still fucking horrible after 9+ months as well. The players will all leave again if the issue isnt fixed in 2 weeks

Why bother even having ranks if you're gonna have disparities this wide?

Another aimbot cheater on Vindicta. And he doesn't mask yourself!

Can you just shut your game out, Yoshi?
You made nothing since public playtest to ban cheaters. Only stupid frog shit when cheater is detected, but it no longer works. No detections, no ban.

This dev team should ban yourself from gamedev industry.

No body like a cheater and I'm sure the developers are doing what they can to tackle the problem. They owe YOU nothing, how about you try and be a little more humble.

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

27 games in a row I que with only new heroes on high priority and dont get to play any of them. I only got Mina my first game. I thought maybe is just bad luck until my last game where Billy wasnt even in the match although several of us had him on High prio. 39229673

Ok, I’ve had my fair share of bad games, but this one really takes the cake. At just 15 minutes in, the enemy team already had a 30k soul lead, and it just kept skyrocketing as my teammates kept feeding. There was almost never a single moment where this game felt winnable.

According to statlocker.gg, my team was made up of:

• 1 × Emissary
• 3 × Ritualist (including myself)
• 2 × Unranked

The enemy team had:

• 2 × Archon
• 1 × Emissary
• 2 × Ritualist
• 1 × Unranked

How is this even remotely balanced? The one unranked guy on my team only had 98 games played, while the enemy side had a players with over 2000 and 1000 games played. Absolutely ridiculous.

5 Minute queue time to get Ritualist vs Alchemist, not a fun match for the enemy team.

1 enemy player left. then one teammate left, then 2 enemy players were missing. 5v4 in the favor of my team, at around 11min. we still lose the game...

i have check the stat of my team, i was first in term of troopers damages. no body in my team think about fix the wave... i had a Mina who bought the worst item in the character...

idk why the matchmaking put me in this r-word lobby

Another completely unbalanced game. Everyone just died to me, Kelvin, and a random Archon on Mina. The enemy team didn’t even have a chance, yet the game still considers their team’s rank higher than ours. I just don’t understand why you think it’s good to send all the new players or obscurus into Arcanist games. It’s not fun for me nor the players themselves. And most of the games end up like this.

And the worst treatment here goes to Holiday, being the only real ritualist-emissary on the enemy team having to endure this bullshit. And the worst thing is that every 4–5 games, you get to experience being in her position yourself.

The most frustrating thing is that you just can’t rank up. I can’t. My rank floated between Ritualist 3 and Emissary 1 for about 5–6 months. Then, after not playing for a month, I was dropped into Arcanist 1. Seven months later, I’m still stuck at Arcanist -56 because every match is filled with new or Obscurus players who at 90% of games just feed the enemies—or one random archon-oracle-phantom who solo entire teams by themselves.

This game has it all: full teams of Obscurus with one poor Ritualist Holiday, going up against me and Kelvin Mina, who both Statlocker considers Archons.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, VALVE. SEND ALL THE NEW AND OBSCURUS PLAYERS INTO SEEKER–ALCHEMIST GAMES. LET THEM CLIMB. YOU CREATED THESE RANKS FOR A REASON.

And it feels like new update made this even worse. My winrate dropped from 52% to 47% and keeps dropping lower and lower. PLS FIX THE MATCHMAKING.

I don't understand anything, why the game throws me against archons, and at the start I'm standing in line with them (with a guy who just kills himself against them).

I don't know, this is already the 10th game where I have almost the lowest rank. And for winning such games the game does not push me in rank at all, how to understand this? Why?




And the fact is that Paradox and Yamato either smurf or duos or both. And they are also the strongest in the lobby and play against arcanists. Cool distribution of teams, fair.



I have never seen such a shitty MM anywhere. The game specifically creates conditions in which you will suffer and lose. While others are enjoying the game.

How does the balance work?

Let's say you have 5 ritualists, the game gives you another archont (who won't give impact, and might get burned, because teammates won't listen to calls and play for him). This is not a counter strike, a high rank cannot give aces every round, there are no rounds.

And the game can put 6 emissaries against you, who will synergize intuitively with a high chance.

What can I say, give a cash prize to whoever came up with this.

It's all one cheater with aimbot + wallhack, and these are not all the matches i got to play with him in one lobby. report him after every game, each game tell everyone in lobby that he's a cheater and ask to report him, but somehow he is still not banned

Just watch the replay and then look at the scoreboard and tell me if some of these people in the lobby shouldn't have their rank adjusted.

 

[flint.wongkh]

yo deadlock dev, how you gonna pair emissary vs oracle and have a geist that is supposedly rank 4th, 5th and 10th, that low in the bracket?

second game, same problem. your games aren't fun after a new update comes out because your matchmaking is so shit @Yoshi fix it man. im so lazy going against high phantoms to eternus players.

griefing geist as usual.

archon vs phantom, amazing job -.-


Amazing how one can know the game will be garbage in the first 30seconds, good job giving me ONLY the already reported ones. As I least I will not even expect a playable match.
