My dude, I've only played solo and I can tell you with a honest heart:
It's non-existent.

Whatever you're smoking I need some of what you're having and I'm pretty sure Snoop Dogg would hunt you down if he knew what you stashed.

Matchmaking in Deadlock is about as advanced as a hamster is alive after a round in a blender on the smoothie setting.

Neil Armstrong saw his house in more detail from the moon than matchmaking has integrity.

A deaf person have a higher degree of appreciation of Vivaldis spring than the feedback is being listened to in this forum.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you.

TLDR: Matchmaking doesn't work and every single player, except you apparently, knows it. Even major streamers admit it.

I wasn't writing to you. Why are you responding to me?

8 minute queue for this game

The point of my post is that currently the ranks do not convey any perceptible skill level. It's why currently 14% of all playerbase is stuck in Initiate I, which is 5 times the size of any other rank division. In my games I have players who range from 'playing for the first time' to having perfect mechanics and decision making. There is nothing that defines an Arcanist, a Ritualist player; or a player of any particular rank.

We don't know what they're doing with initiate ranks but it's theorized new accounts start with a negative mmr to smooth out the new player experience. Plus there's the problem that all we see are the average ranks post game, so there could be bad matchmaking based on averaging mmr that doesnt have anything to do with ranks having "imperceptiple" skill levels but instead the problem is how the vastly different ranks are allowed to be put together. I know whenever I get new players on my team it's because someone queued with them in a party and the game finds a way to average the mmr that way.

Also a cheating haze in this match. Reporting seems to do literally nothing

 

[Brochelle]

intellectually challenged infernus who cant help but die 13 times.

teammates that have no idea how to fight late game / stay back by the spawn room and keep themselves alive.

really tired of being stuck on the short bus. really fucking over it.

44461618 Just felt like such a bad stomp even though the ranks were even. To much of a noob to explain through gameplay stuff.

If the person you replied to was indeed the player with )highlighted) name "General", they are not truthful.
Details to match:

Quick glance at "Performance"-section shows no indication of ever having longer lose streak than six (6) matches in a row.

Even old(er) accounts seemingly are "de-ranked" almost into below "Obscurus"-ranks, if the (non-official) API website is to be believed.

An example of my "MMR":
https://deadlock-api.com/player?pd-picker-tab=patch&steam_id=25016464

Main issue currently indeed here both wins or losses are affecting my "ELO" insignificantly.

My Statlocker-page:
https://statlocker.gg/profile/25016464/matches

(( And my Statlocker "Performance Points" mainly being "in debt" is due to lack of last-hitting which the website currently is extremely biased towards as of posting this. ))

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

the mm is the worst i ever see right now

Unfortunately rank does not necessarily mean MMR. League of legends uses fake ranks with hidden MMR. So we dont actually know anything and these third party websites are just estimations that could be wildly off.

Match ID 44466970. Smurf or cheater on doorman destroying the lobby. I believe he was cheating because he killed grey talon through fog gate at the end of the game with no vision

 

[Brochelle]

this fuking piece of shit drifter (IEatCrayons) is a fuking ashole.

had him in a match a few nights ago and he just fed.

tonight he feeds then DC's.

is there not a way to ban this human trash?

There's no way that a Yamato of that level of play should be in my lobby. ~25k when the rest of the lobby was hovering around 10k, 35 kills at the end of the match, no username displayed so it's impossible to check. I refuse to believe this isn't someone smurfing if it isn't a matchmaking error.

 

[skipperdoeswork]

Yeah, so not only was this the elo gap of the century, like 19k Page at 28 mins, BUT LOOK AT THE 6 COUNTERS THE GAME GAVE ME.

LIKE BRO I POP ULT AND IF I DON'T GET CARTED, I'M GETTING LASH ULTED, TORNADO'D, BOLUS'D, AND IF I DON'T GET ULT OFF IT'S LASSO INTO CHAIN INTO LASH ULT INTO TORNADO INTO BOLUS INTO DOORMAN ULT. GIVE ME A DRAFT OR I'M NEVER PLAYING THIS GAME AGAIN. THERE'S NO WAY THE RNG IS THIS BAD. If you actually go watch the VOD on this, I got ONE ult off all game that didn't get insta countered. I'm Alchemist 2 btw. Insta bolus, insta cart, insta tornado. INSTANT.

And yes, I would've LOVED to buy unstoppable but, 28 min game, not so simple. I either have unstoppable at 28 mins and I tickle, or I have damage and can kill, but no unstoppable. If I had maybe 40 seconds to do a camp before end, I could've had it. But it seemed like they hit their push timings RIGHT before a big power spike of mine.

I want to enjoy the game but it's so hard when, not only do I get to play against 135 hour Pickle smurf who plays like a 2k hour ascendant, but I also get to play against 6 rng hard counters bc no draft. Like, NICE! I GOT HAZE! INTO EVERY COUNTER THAT EXISTS.

 

[Brochelle]

another trash fucking match.

look at this intellectually challenged Vindicta with 0/9 amd 17k damage.

why am i in a match with this trash?

what is the fucking point.

Stats speak for themselves. 20-40K soul difference all game. 4 team mates with terrible KD's with very little map/game knowledge.
