Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Brochelle]

Stop pairing me with people who insist on dying in the double digits. I am not intellectually challenged dont pair me with people who are.

I cant support a team with heals (which I want to do) if they cant make common sense decisions to keep themselves alive or fight as a team.

Go out - get picked - repeat.

No matchmaking means devs dont give a fuck. Every match is a literal crapshoot.

Its really easy to filter out the good players from the bad players (in low ranks) .

Are you ready devs?

# of deaths in the first 15 minutes. That one metric alone is all you need to implement a shred of matchmaking.

First match in a little while and it's a malicious afk player on the enemy team leading to an insane snowball. Boring ass game. Fix it.

You need to at least add ffing if it's gonna be this bad. It would not be that hard.

This matchmaking is so horrendous at least add a surrender option temporarily.

This is just atrocious to deal with when I have 2 to 3 teammates that have no kills and double digit deaths, at least let us surrender and not waste 40 minutes of my life.

Over a week ago I was on a 14 game losing streak where almost every game was like this.

Cheating Mina manages to always find perfect places to land shots while we hide from her and kills people at long range even while blinded by Drifter's ult. I just want one even match Valve. ONE.

If you truly believe this is all cope and I deserve to lose to better players, fine! DERANK ME! I am not some deluded fool, if I don't belong in the rank sure derank the shit out of me. But I don't derank. I stay in Emissary and get stomp games in the other direction that feel fucking BORING. Fuck. How could it possibly be this fucking bad????

"Arcanist 4" vs "Ritualist 1"
My rank just before this game was alchemist 4... I doubt my last win managed to put me several spots higher. Ritualist team had all 3 guardians within the first 10 minutes. Not sure if it was a full 6 stack, but at least several players were queued together communicating well. No one on my team was stacked together, or communicating. Awful game and just a waste of 35 minutes for everyone.

Even though I won this match, we should not be going against Eternus players in an Oracle Lobby. I'm literally Emissary/Arcanist. Verified the rest of the players on my team, and none of them get into Eternus games regularly, so clearly, the average rank lobby per team is not accurate at all.

Their job is to collect information and tell the developers stuff. Yoshi can't magically make the devs do all of the stuff they report.

And while the game is still in EXPERIMENTAL ALPHA, we know how GamersTM are. They will treat it like they are paid pro football players.....No, football players have better sportsmanship, smurfy performance enhancement is done in that sport as well though. But I will say Valve isn't doing a good job with how the game is right now. I agree with you that there is a lot of crap that is busted, and it makes players feel awful. From characters (I don't care what the youtuber's video said), to matchmaking, to items, to players cheating, the slurs I've heard in chat, the leavers, and I've been teabagged like 90 times by now. There are GLARING issues. I heard so many people tell me that they trust Valve to do a good job while they torture players in this alpha. I always wish developers would speak on the many frustrations players deal with over a long period of time in THEIR GAME that THEY make, but they stay quiet. Even when it's Valve and they print money. I wouldn't blame the community manager for this though lol.

An experimental alpha that somehow already tried to have tournaments for Deadlock, sponsored by Valve according to Deathy? The problem isn't that Valve is taking a while to address issues. It's the fact that they don't, and it doesn't just spill over to the balance or MM. It also involves QoL issues. For example, spectating live matches will sometimes randomly disconnect you and put you into a recursive loading loop where the game just has a perpetual loading screen. I don't think they're gonna get around to fixing that for a while. Shit like that is what kills the game, but it seems like the only patches are for artwork and for balance.

Hilariously lopsided, in multiple ways X'D

 

[unetcapet]

teammates that don't even understand concept of defending a walker, accusing enemy vindicta of cheating instead of countering her, one of the the worst matchmaking games i had so far in 800+ hours of my gameplay, my rank fell down due to inactivity as i was high archon. Started this time from alchemist and the higher rank i get the more dumb and incompetent teammates i get.

I love how you have this pointless matchmaking thread just to give the illusion of you caring at all about your trash matchmaking. Get absolutely fucking bent.

 

[Jokerx71]

I genuinely do not know what kind of fucking result are they expected to get from "Let's put one team with all the CC against each other" oh wow surprise you fucking lose if you have no CC on your team, or your only CC is a fucking infernus ult.

Yeap. Honestly fuck icefrog right now. No patched Mina ult for a month of nonsnse and continued neglect of matchmaking super grief. over 90% of the community is calibrated in Initiate 1 and some players are winning 20,30,40 games in a row and not raking up. Their priorities are not on player experience right now. They have zero feelings on how bad their matchmaking experience is.

Just give us fucking draft pick and un-fuck the matchmaking please. It would be nice if they gave any 2 shits about my time I decide to dedicate to playing their game..

Nope... Heres some new heros for you to test and we re-shaded stuff. Enjoy getting buttfucked every other game.

18 minute match, ascendant team vs Emissary team. I think its pretty clear something fucked up pairing us up.

One has to wonder what was the matchmaking thinking to make this decision
This feels like history being repeated again

I'm going to repeat the old dota 2 player talk all over again
Rank spread should be 2 ranks max for non-ranked and 1 rank for ranked
The closer the better

Full stack vs solo, absolute garbage matchmaking.

So by updating matchmaking balancing to take into consideration more than just frontliners you meant .... no frontliners vs a team with multiple... fucking brillient icefrog... absolute genius
