Bad Matchmaking Thread

41122552 - Got steamrolled
41124783 - We completely steamrolled
41126692 - Steamrolled
41132003 - Actually pathetic.

I know you dumb cunts don't actually give a damn, but here are some more match IDs. All games Initiate 1 apparently lol.

Lady Geist said they were ascendant, so I'm not sure why they are in Emissary as they were dominating the game.

Match ID 41141283
Seems like our Drifter was struggling immensely and the enemy team was just steamrolling us.

Match ID 41150604
It was a stomp for us, and very unfair to the enemy team.

Match ID 41153898
We won with 70k soul lead. Was very stompy for our team.

Hey @Yoshi , please fucking make matchmaking based on not only skill, but also CC potential. We cannot win games with character drafts like this:

Give us a surrender button because this is what kills the enjoyment of the game for everyone, only one side having CC and the other side having nothing at all.

I encountered a very toxic pocket who was feeding, Cussing and using racial slurs.

one more thing. If anyone encounters this pocket report them immediately. I do not like when a Rude Low self esteem inbred player talks a lot of crap without leaving the game. I dislike how many toxic players are on this game. I know I curse a lot but I do it under my tongue. That's why if there's a player who is feeding intentionally there needs to be a surrender option after reporting them. As an example if one player feeds and leaves the match the five players from that team can vote to end the match

The Viscous and enemy pocket simply dominated the match. By the looks of it, they seem to be Archons, and they're playing with a mo that's in seeker II. I'm not sure what the MM decided in this one.

Simply a stomp for the enemy team, where my team was struggling immensely and seemed to not play at this level at all. No comms, no nothing, no pings even. Very unfun match and felt like there was no winning at all.

Matchmaking has been immensely awful today so I'm sure there will (unfortunately) be more of this.

Just a stomp for the enemy team, again. Only one who was somewhat performing on our team was Kelvin. Rest were just struggling.

Our team was playing against an incredibly oppressive comp. The entire match we stood basically no chance. Extremely unfun.

Comical joke of a match, how does every single lane get crushed this hard? what even is this system doing?
 
What is the point of Initiate if players who haven't even played 5 ****ing matches are not placed in that rank? No amount of support spells, or skill can compensate for a player who literally feeds the enemy team in the first minutes of the game and onwards because they don't know any better. In turn making attempts to do anything impossible because the minute you think you can claw something back they feed the enemy team again.
 
Watch the game tank to 10k again. It will wear people out. Only mad people play this nonsense.
Amazing how bad it is. Totally random matches would be more fun than this experience.
None cares if its a test stage, it will leave stigma and the game will suffer.
Pity, it is good but the lack of responsibility towards common players is glaring.
 
This is completely unserious Valve, how can we have a collective 54 deaths vs 15 and this be equal matchmaking?

5 trash matches in a row, I dunno if people are cheating or smurfing that much but this is unplayable.
Hope bearded virgin streamers are having fun dominating.
 
Hello @Yoshi

So I don't know what is going on with the other regions however Oceania (Or at least the Australian region) is reaching the break point on how bad the matchmaking is.

How do I know? (Other than my own experience.)

I know because its actually coming up in conversation consistently. Weather it be voice or chat people are actually mentioning it. There are generally only 2 things people with chat about (As in non match related communications), Pauselock and new heroes when they come out. For people to be consistently talking about the match making means its become are consistent and meaningful problem.

And just as an aside, Deadlock to my knowledge is supposed to be a team game. The problem with this incredibly inconsistent matchmaking is unless the teams are actually fair then, I and most player are incentivized to play the most degenerate self centered ways imaginable just to hope we can eek out a win. Which is really hard might I add when you play the more team orientated heroes and or builds.

I wouldn’t complain about balance yet - characters, items, even matches... whatever.
But since this thread exists, and this matchmaking feels so wrong...

Left team is just a bunch of solos, even with a total newbie (like 15 games).
Right team had a TRIO and players with 100+ games.
If that’s supposed to be “matchmaking” then it’s broken as hell,. Maybe fix it?
