Bad Matchmaking Thread

[SardineS]

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.

Thank you for the even handed responses.

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.

Not an impossibility to check on the player-profiles.

Wow again look at this trash.

Fucking 3/10 mina with 89 obj damage.

Fucking 12k damage Abrahms with 625 obj damage.

Why am I stuck with these shit fucking players constantly?

Can you not weed out who is fucking useless?

I had two unbalanced matches tonight where the enemy team was two full grades ahead of our team. If I play solo, I usually get anywhere between Archon to Phantom matches, but these were duos where I usually get Emissary-Archon with my teammate.

Unbalanced team rankings. Their whole team was superior to ours, especially the Abrams and Mirage in the way they moved.

This match was also unbalanced in basically the same ways as the first. The enemy team had the advantage from the start (except for my lane) and was generally better in every way than our teammates.

i just think that an ivy/paige against a mirage/mcginnis lane assignment Should Not Happen, i know that lane swaps are the solution to lanes like that but i raise that if we can't draft we shouldn't get matchups of two of the weakest laners vs two of the strongest laners
