October the 7th , match ID 20962150 - entirely unwinnable from the first minute. 50k souls difference in 24 minutes.
 
20755801 - Felt like we had both good and bad players on the team. Very wide skill range. Some players didn't understand how creep mechanics worked, and lots of basic stuff, but we also had some people who understood how to play and abuse the map.

With 1000+ hours I really don't want to be in games with anyone with less than 100 matches. Even if they had high FPS skill, this is a moba, and people aren't playing properly.

19934635 This game in contrast was vs Vegas + Y8mz duo que. There is no shot the stack I was with should be playing against them. The system currently doesn't have a way to balance top elo players stacking and coordinating.

Like a lot of my previous matches, we were against players (specifically Ivy and Geist) who were a lot stronger than us, and could kill most players of our team instantly within seconds. Not to mention, two people on our team (Viscous and Yamato) were incredibly rude, toxic, and went as far as making lewd, sexual, and inappropriate comments. This match was so bad, I made a forum account just because of it to make this post.

Matchmaking for both teams felt really unbalanced. Apart from viscous, it felt like my team were practically new to the game (ivy not using abilities, throwing kudzu bomb in wrong directions) and were being dominated by the enemy who seemed far more competent apart from wraith. Completely nullifies any lead I try to earn for the team.

Two cheaters (Wraith and Vindicta) noclipping/spinbotting under the ground and spawn camping us and ending the game in 9 minutes.

I've got a bundle:

Pretty much everyone else did worse then me, constantly getting into bad teamfights and wipe-feeding, while they only had two underperformers the rest were able to carry.

In this case we dominated them, side from Infernus and Wraith they were constantly feeding to the point even our weaker players didn't slow us down much, and we made a lot of mistakes that should have been punished harder.

This was just a complete wash. They barely put up a fight, and not even Warden feeding made a difference.

Another strong wash in our favor. Very little coordination and map awareness on the enemy's part.

This one was real bad. Significantly outperforming my whole team, while their team had about 4 of their players around my level. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
20241006232314_1.jpg
Even more extreme, me and Ivy had almost half our team's soul count combined, while their Vinidca just got to run wild.

This is my first MOBA, so I'm probably not in a very high bracket skill-wise all things considered, but so often at least half of either team will be a a degree lower/higher then the rest, making the matches incredibly lopsided.

Also, I'm at a point where I feel like I at least understand the macro fundamentals pretty decently, even if I'm not always able to execute on them well. So it's really frustrating seeing myself improve, while my teammates remain stagnant, if not regressing in their capacity in that regard. And matches can be so swingy all it takes is one major blunder from the rest of your team to seal the deal, and I know I'm not good enough to carry the whole team in that situation, if doing so is even possible.

I'll be sure to add more as they happen.

Enemy team were all competent and knew how to play, meanwhile my team seemed to not even know what their heroes did. They were already pushing on our shrines by 10 minutes. Feels incredibly unbalanced.

What even is this matchmaking? Getting so tired of these kind of matches.

I get it - MOBAs are snowbally by nature, however, I'm very hopeful for some matchmaking improvements soon.

Matches like these are far too common. I feel like the majority of my matches are stomps, one way or another. It isn't fun stomping another team and it's totally demoralizing to get stomped and feel like there's nothing you could have done or learn anything from it because it was such a mismatched lobby that you and your team never even had a chance.

It just feels like a huge waste of time and since you can't forfeit you're stuck in a match knowing the outcome a few minutes in. Just feels disheartening...

Match 20987758

For the entire match, our team was on the backfoot. Before 10 minutes in we lost two guardians, and the enemy team was diving as a four-man group on our blue tower just after ultimates were unlocked. We were basically always at a 10-20k soul disadvantage, and there was no hope of winning. Basically just biding time until the enemy team decided they wanted to win. They even dove spawn at the very end of the game and got a kill I think.

Terrible match.
