Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Dragutin]

What the actual fu**** is wrong with the matchmaker? Putting together god tier composition hard countering everything, steam rolling from 2 minutes into the match. Balancing the matchmaker should be priority number 1 for now. Match 44363561

The other team Holliday was way too good, way above everyone on the match.
My team lost after 24 minutes. Holliday ended with 48k souls, while everyone else (both teams) was around 18k-23k.
Of course Holliday had no profile pic and a private profile.

44376140 - Just tryna have fun in my 5 stack of ritualist-oracle players, and then there's either a super smurf or blatant cheater on the other team. Went top stats in all 10 games they've played total, inhuman HS%.

I would post screenshots but what's the point? This thread is 400 pages ... 400 pages... four hundred pages... of screenshots that are showing entire teams going 1/10, 1/9, 0/12 etc and nothing has been done about it.

This is beyond a joke.

PS: every time this happens in a game, the duo queue or the trio queue are the ones freeding. Obviously it has something to do with that.

Has anyone who frequents this forum ever seen a single acknowledgment of the matchmaking system from a Deadlock dev? I feel like posting match id's here is pointless until we get some sort of confirmation that they actually give a shit. I get the game is under development but with nearly 45k daily concurrent players someone from the team should make an attempt to let us know they are working on it.

comment on this in discord and out come the kneepads for valve with a lot of tHeY JuSt UpDaTed ThE GaME ThEy aRe FiXinG iT

no, not really aware anyone is doing anything with the feedback in this thread, and if they say they are, they're outright lying based on player experience consistently posted here. i asked the question and got laughed at in their discord and was told i'm the weak link of my team

 

[SadeVEVO]

This one felt incredibly unfair

44408346 This was the worst game I've played. I would not care if my teammates were anywhere near good enough to deal with these players but they all sucked

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help

Match ID:44410761

Overall the match felt one sided, due to champion pick pools rather than player skill. The overall game felt more balanced towards their side having more powerful, or better characters. Characters like Doorman, who has the HIGHEST base damage gun, that fires faster bullets than a swarm can beat out a soul, or Calico who just has a Once a Fight "Outta here" button. Vs, Infernus, guy who shoots you, with a pity bullet and can at MOST level 1 (W/ recommended ability) hitting only headshots can do ~340 damage. Meanwhile if we assume that Doorman can also only hit head, without ability, does 405 damage.

Made worse by his Bell that deals an additional 140 damage. My issue with match making comes from how character select is done, there is no way to counter pick, seeing a doorman and picking a longer range character, or is there any way to coordinate with your team. Especially if there are randoms. Because even if you select Prio teamates in lane, you can still end up with two cahracters that don't complement each other. Even if your 2X Prio'd them.

Have you noticed that your bad games only happen when you play in a party with your friends?
That’s not a matchmaking problem — it’s just weak coordination within your group.
Try playing solo, and you’ll see that your matchmaking issues disappear.

My previous high was Ascendant I, then I took a year break and now I cannot escape Arcanist. I have over 1,000 hours. I play on the NA server. My overall winrate is 54% which was primarily achieved by solo queuing.

My current experience with matchmaking is that unless I play a character that is designed specifically to kill enemy players, and also perform outrageously well - then I will simply not win. Over the past 16 matches I have 4 wins and 12 losses, 8 of those losses are in the screenshots below. In nearly every game I am either the best performing or one of the top three players on my team, and yet that is not enough to have even a 50% winrate over 16 games or more.

My opponents very frequently have players that go 15-3 or something. It is very difficult for me to believe that there are still SEVEN ranks above the peak of player skill that I witness in my games. It feels as if players of EVERY skill are present in my games, and for some reason the worse players are on my team.

Paradoxically, if I happen to luck into a higher skill match, like Emissary or Archon, then I do not seem to perform much worse and actually have a better time overall synergizing with my teammates. My teammates in Arcanist often struggle with simple actions such as maintaining lanes or buying counter items.

I could be completely delusional and bad at the game, but something feels completely off. I simply cannot, while performing well, have above average match results in a rank that seems to represent the bottom 50% of skill.

Can't know exactly what happened in these games but I think your stats are not indicative of you deserving to be out of that rank. (outside of the mina game). I see a lot of different heroes youre playing too, maybe watch a replay and see if you are indeed making some mistakes you are not noticing.
