Seems like if there is a party on one or either team the MM seems to suck ass

Its either people having zero kills and a lot of deaths, people struggling to push simple objectives like towers, 100+ of objective damage in some cases even 0, these matches are heavily in Alchemiest. I noticed when I'm higher the worse it gets around Alchemiest 4-6 even in Arcanist 1, there a lot of clueless people playing I witnessed twice how opponents went in our base tried to kill shrines and didnt knew there is an backdoor protection. I hope for the next update gives us an better matchmaking and seperates casual/ranked like it was before the December update last year.

First thing you could do is uhhh Make it so the same ranks play against one another? Is that reeeallly that hard?

Second would be.. if the enemy team is a full stack. Guess what? They can wait for a full stack to play again. Or at least 2 3 stacks...

Is it really that hard? It would be self governing "punishment" or "balancing" for full stacks.

Dont put a full stack against a pub.

Its not rocket science people. Its just giving a shit about your gameplay experience.

Some of these games are so demoralizing. You can tell 2 minutes in that you have no chance of winning.
Playing this game solo is an exercise in futility.

23 minute match, ritualist vs arcanist, half the arcanist team had no kills and less than 10k player damage. they couldnt take down all our lane guardians so they were flex slot less too.

 

[Dragutin]

3x DUO Ritualist 3/4 ranks vs 6x Solo, whereas 4 are seekers.

Seeker team has two players with 2 death per minute average at 25 minutes, feeding hard.

No balance what-so-ever!

80k soul gap this is becoming a joke


Every single game is like this. 1000s of posts on this thread yet the matchmaking still remains piss poor. Whats even the point of posting these here if you guys dont do anything to fix it? Play 5 games and maybe if youre super lucky one is competitive. Every forum/ Steam discussion page, and discord is flooded with complaints about the matchmaking and yet you work on balance patches new heroes and map updates. Literally none of that matters if the gameplay experience is a miserable drag. Its been like this for a year now and its been noticeably worse since the new heroes were released.

I play a maximum of 5 matches a day, and it’s becoming really frustrating to play this damn game, no matter how much I love it.
There’s an insane skill gap between players many have no idea how to move or just want to ruin the experience for others.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been running into a lot of cheaters or smurfs over the past three days, and I’m starting to lose the motivation to play.
You don’t need more balance patches or new heroes you need to fix your damn matchmaking, because otherwise, in my humble opinion, you’ll lose the entire remaining player base.

Playing on the South African servers with a very small community, 2 notorious smurfers named Emily<3 and powerpuffgirl ruining pretty much every game we play. With such a small community it pushes away any new comers from the game and makes it impossible to get any sort of balance going they have admitted to smurfing as they struggle to find games but smurfing kills the small community we have and makes it impossible to have any sort of growth

Honest to god I've never played a game where the matchmaking was this bad. 70% of games are decided in the first five minutes. There is no draft, there is no way to aim for a balanced team, there are WILD discrepancies in rank (why am I playing against archon level players when I queue up as a seeker?). I suck at this game admittedly but I'm often topping souls and damage while my teammates either go 0-12 or jungle the entire game and ignore objectives. How is that possible? I am objectively bad at shooters. It is not fun to constantly play against the absolute demon king omega chad on the other side who has studied the blade longer than I've been alive.

Couldnt agree more. A majority of the hardcore playerbase shares this sentiment. I cant say ive noticed a lot of cheaters aside from some suspected esp and auto parries. Smurfing and stacking on the other hand are definite. If you play this game solo you are at a massive disadvantage. I also really love this game and have played like 1k hours since the initial release about a year ago and am regularly being teamed up with players with under 20 hours. The MM has become such a miserable experience Im fully ready to step away for good until they do something about it. Groups of 3 or more need to wait in longer qs to face other large groups. I think a majority of the player base would be perfectly fine with waiting an extra minute or two to find a somewhat balanced match compared to suffering through a 45 minute stomp. Do away with the hero specific MMR, fully wipe the current ranks and have everyone hard reset and play 15-20 placement matches to get a general idea of their skill rating. Only then could they actually balance the matchmaking. Until this is done I couldnt care ANY less about a new hero, item or map change. All of that should be secondary to fun competitive matches.

follow up match, just this time on the winning side. Haze goes 1-7 and instantly rage quits, but didnt understand her own itemization, always going in fury trance alone against anyone not disabled.
3 ritualist+emissary vs oracle+emissary, ingame says Oracle IV average.... wtf.


44205940
pretty much the same as above.



If I dont forget it, I'll check in statlocker later, to see what supposed skill levels were, 2 of their lanes lost hard.

 

[boyo12011]

Not sure why i'm being matched with such impossible games, makes me want to leave the game and never play again. I've had 8 back to back losses, not sure what I've done or why this is happening but it needs to stop.

i'm not the greatest player ever but i use to do well, but these days i feel like its impossible to enjoy the game. Is this happening to you or anyone else?

first and last matches of this play session. the four in between these matches were good.

View attachment 59948
42095345, the emmissarry billy player, TheSightz (if you are reading this, fuck you,) spent at least 5 minutes on mic beneath our walker literally screaming, after pausing the match to take a bong rip and hard feeding lane. meanwhile he was screaming, i took the guardian and most of the walker hp, he goes and kills himself under walker to finish taking it, then continues his tyrade on mic. I DID ALL THE WORK, GROW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR TEAMMATES. he throws by just going afk in jungle for the rest of the game.
I am seeker 3, (i ranked up to 4 but back down due to the second match) and he is emmissary 3. He has the mental fortitude of a kindergartener, how is he in my match and how am i still being placed with brand new players? (no hate to newbies)

second match, 3 of my teammates cannot secure A SINGLE KILL. the other team wipes us, ivy solo pushes into lash slams until she ragequits, game is a total noncompete, and there is no option to abandon until like 20 minutes in. actual agony.
Lash is ritualist 5, ivy is obscurus. there is evidently a skill gap here, and i could have told you that 2 minutes into lane, and i wasn't even IN THE LANE. View attachment 59946

Seek help brother. hope u have a good rest of ur day you probably need it
