Bad Matchmaking Thread

[freaxology305]

The best I can be is Archanist, and maybe Ritualist at best, but how the heck I can face Oracle ? My team gameplay including me not shown as Oracle players at all

Yoshi really need to reset Rank every time big update drops

Do you even look at this thread?

Second match ID: 52822873

In the first match i'm in a duo squad with Skeptic and we get 4 random mates while the enemy team gets 2 random mates and a squad of 4. We obviously lose that match because it's difficult to defeat a coordinated squad of 4 when we're only two people with randoms. Another thing to mention, our Drifter said that this was his first ever match of the game. I have no idea if he was telling the truth but if he wasn't lying to us then there's something seriously wrong with the matchmaking because me and Skeptic have like 600 hours on the game, there's no reason why his first match should be with players who have played hundreds over hundreds of hours already.

You're probably wondering how I know that it was a squad of 4 that we played against. Well, after we finished the first match, me and Skeptic searched for another round, which we quickly found. We quickly noticed at the start of the match that the enemy Warden, Page, Haze and Abrams were the same 4 people from the last round. They had the same characters like last round so it wasn't hard to notice it.

So here's a question, why does a duo squad get matched up against a squad of 4? No wait, here's an even better question, why does a duo squad get matched up against the same squad of 4 two times in a row?

PS. Can you add a option to block heroes while searching for a match? It would be nice to finally have a round without an enemy Haze that farms the whole game and is almost unkillable.

Two 0 kill 10+ death teammates. In a match where we are supposedly the higher ranked team. I've still yet to go negative in a standard match since the patch but I've still yet to WIN a SINGLE standard match since the patch.

Everyone here needs to stop posting in this thread and post suggestions to improve mm through the general gameplay feedback. It is very obviously falling on deaf ears and harming the experience.

The Lash used several racist slurs. The Bebop used homophobic slurs. Y'all need to figure out a system to detect and ban this behavior before this game launches. It's beyond pathetic it's not already in place. Shame on you.

Valve does not moderate their games. They literally use volunteers and bots to manage the official discord. This is a multi-billion dollar company and they simply do not care to moderate their games.

90% of time i see russians, they have a banned profile, low hour count and doing some very very spicy and odd things ingame.

Thanks Valve for this repeated experience.

why the F you would cheat in street brawl anyway lol.

im ask 3 btw, why is the difference in players so big? I feel like I'm playing 1x6. and why do they give me such lower ranks than mine? I'm play on asia server and ready to look for a game for an hour but let me play with players of my level, I know that these players exist in Asia because it rarely starts me on phantoms and ascendants. Match ID: 52857881, 52849668 (this has been going on for the last 20 matches, but even before that it was just terrible)

After returning and realizing I'm still in Oracle rank after over a year of inactivity I played a bunch of games in hopes for my rank to tank so i can actually enjoy the game. I'm currently 2w 8l and still not down ranking (i got a whole rank up back to oracle from archon for a win in a lobby that was definitely not anywhere near the skill level i've been playing at). I guess I need to lose on my top ranked characters to really tank my rank or something but I just do not understand why there hasn't been a rank reset since I last played.


Here's some Match Ids i guess

never have i felt such a difference in game experience in my entire life. it felt like a 6 stack of smurfs vs us.

52892258 - crazy lopsided smurf event of a game.

We obviously lose that match because it's difficult to defeat a coordinated squad of 4 when we're only two people with randoms.

This has been happening to me since the update. I've almost exclusively faced 5-stacks while my team is comprised of solos and maybe a duo. It's incredibly hard to win a pub against 5 people all sitting in Discord. It makes every match a sweatfest, there's just simply no counter for it.

For example:

Match: 52397980
5-stack with Ascendant Pocket and a game-ban Seven with only CS2 and this game in his library, we obviously lost. 62-48, 32k soul difference, 38:59.

Match: 51017873

4-stack, 35-23, 38k soul difference, 30:34.

It's incredibly annoying and it's happened almost every single game.

52898727 - Something is seriously broken in the matchmaker, I am in Emissary V and just was in a Ritualist 3 average match, I think Rem being selected is forcing it into making high skill range games, probably better to prioritize the skill range over the hero selection aspect.

 

[asd87]

Literally 3 games in a row of the lowest priority select. Highest priority never picked. Shit ass game. Da fuk can't you just let me pick one hero. I'm happy to sit in longer queues than waste a longer shit game.

 

[oniric]

reminder: these games are all in oracle - phantom - ascendant. ALL in a row and ALL OF THEM is losed. Just after a win streak. Every time there's a major update these kinda games ruining pubs, whenever i win it feels like a pity win and whenever i lose there's either hard toxic people in my team or literal AFKs

52158015: AFK in my team.
52161483: Three HARD toxic guys.
52889111: 1 AFK last 5-6 minutes +2 people yelling each other 30 minutes straight.
52908086: 2 toxic guys + 1 went afk afterwards.
52915617: AFK in my team.
52920976: 2 AFK in my team.

Please fix this situation, game became unplayable for me

 

[oniric]

52738896 - two Obscurus players got put into an Oracle VI vs. Phantom II match for their very first game according to statlocker, shouldn't be possible even if it's 1AM in the region they're in IMO

same, lived the same on ascendant lobby. goes without saying dude, it shouldnt be fuckin happening

totally broken game. each side has totally new player, and only one people too carry the bad team. i think because of the Street Fight, player played standard become less, and even seriously less in Asia Server! im Ritulist VI, and before the game, i played a Archor II game. Asia Server has less player, but we can wait for a fair game for 10 minutes even more, or we should have a choice for a faster game or a fairer game. Yoshi plz! Asia Server need this.
and the new patch is so crazy, i love it. Thank u Valve.

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: 52921750. Enemy players said 4 of them were new to the game, but somehow their average was in oracle. They had a hyperfed Vyper so I'm guessing she skyrocketed their average rank.

@Yoshi HEY, I just thought it was strange how me and my duo ran into a 4 stack on our team in their second game ever and were obviously not cut out to play in this match. The opponents obviously outclassed my team from the very start as they were very new, I tried to help holiday later in the match but it was too far gone lol...

 

[Mownkeh]

Practically all of my games since the update are this. People feeding their brains out, fighting over nothing and posessing zero map awareness and they seem to be on my team a good 7/10 games. At one point, I was defending our only walker against 3 people while the rest of the team were in the opposite side jungle while I'm frantically pinging for help. The matchmaking is fucking awful and needs addressing. The vyper, seven and drifter are nowhere near ritualist, and if they are, then I may as well uninstall and hide the game because it's a massive waste of time. Also, balance Mina ffs. She curses every game she's in.
