Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Cheesedragon117]

Just fucking add draft already, there's a reason why its a thing in all mobas

There's a reason why it's not a thing in this one: Because Deadlock is better than other MOBAs.

You guys seriously need to do something about the matchmaking in OCE, the game is borderline unplayable purely because of matchmaking. Almost every single one of these games is from my last 16 games played and have a smurf account in them bringing the enemy teams "average rank" further down than it should be.

@Yoshi i found a cheater, and 2 racists in the same game for you. I HOPE YOU TAKE ACTION OKAY?? @Yoshi
the ivy and shiv said racists chant towards chinese. do something, i reported them for toxic behaviour, that report button better work.

This clip, i was invi, healing rited. i purposely went next to the wall far away from the creeps and stood still just to see if that infernus was aimbotting. To my not surprise, infernus with his last bullet shot at me while invi btw. you can see a 4 pop out. Clearly hacking i replayed it twice for you. bro didn't die once btw.

100% confident the devs are actually retarded at this point. If you win a few games and have a positive score, the match maker apparently puts you on a team of ULTRA feeders and stacks try hards on the other team, then does this for 15-20 games in a row making it absolutely impossible to win.

Its absolutely a forced losing streak, nothing anyone can do about it, i play positive nearly every match.

Ah yes because randomly queuing into a 4 support or assassin comp while the enemy team has an actual comp is fine.

Fuck your teamstacking matchmaker. just an obvious team stack with 60k ahead. No business making this bullshit. Again fuck your matchmaker

 

[hellboyson]

It was a good match but the skill gap was very big from both ends

I'll admit, I wasn't very good so didn't help the team but the other team had way more map knowledge than any of us. Just felt one sided.

 

[Mcleafy]

please fix MM its not fun when every single game looks like this

 

[Token81]

Game was fun, win some lose some. Then a streak of roughly 20 SUPER unbalanced games. Now im getting games like this...lmfaoooo devs are totally clueless.

Match id 41371832. We won every lane super hard and ended in 24 mins, but with coordination, we likely could've ended around 21 minute mark. Felt like there was really no chance for them from the start by souls alone. Match id 41425629. Our Shiv did not understand how to lane, and left lane 2-3 mins in—built monster rounds + glass cannon (after 9-10 deaths) first 2 items in alch 3. He ended the game nearly 1/3 the souls of the enemy leader in a 30 minute game. He died 12 times in 13 minutes and finished with 19 deaths.

 

[crghmml]

41429419 absolutely insane.. 4-5 people on one team that are obvious newcomers and don't know how to play the game vs 3 people that are way above whatever skill level theyre supposed to be

I don't understand how the numbers for buffing/nerfing are picked "based on data" when your data is almost entirely made up of matches that are one-sided stomp due to a matchmaking that seems to want to make the match as bad as possible. Half the losing team gives up in the end anyway, and the winning team is just prolonging the match for ze lulz.

Dude was smurfing, is there some actions taken with smurfs so playing would be ok?

I get to Arcanist 6 so you put me in ritualist lobby. That's fine. I lose once again because of shitter.


You then drop my rank to Arcanist 5 And decide "You know what... This time Ritualist 2 lobby. But give the enemy team an Archon and your team an alchemist."




Like, why the fuck is this your idea of balance. I lose so you give me... an even harder, higher MMR match?

Or how about this beauty.



The enemy team gets... TWO FUCKING ORACLE PLAYERS. Guess who is MVP of his team again. Guess who keeps pace with the oracle players. Guess who makes the paradox switch out lanes because they can't snowball. Guess who's team are all 10k down on the enemies. Guess who is de-ranked again. Why do the enemy get two oracle players, 5 fucking divisions higher than what's on my team.



Why are screens like this allowed? Once again, I climbed slightly higher, and once again I am consistently placed with people who go double digit deaths. Everyone says the bell curve is at Arcanist now and I see why. It's because your dogshit MM forces people to be there.

 

[Jokerx71]

Why on earth would you give the enemy team 6 massive teamfight ults. 3 of which are hard CC's? Versus our lineup.

When the fuck are we getting a proper draft mode. Im sick of Valve shaking up the heros and tossing them in a match. It is getting extreamly fucking tiresome when you vomit out trash lineups.

 

[Draggonguy]

80k difference in game? Give you head a fucking shake. Fuck you matchamaker 41474957
