Bad Matchmaking Thread

[w.maney]

My first ever game on the new hero. Two brand new players on my team with less that half a page of games played. No-one on the enemy team was new and had many pages of games. We got completely rolled. I know time =/= skill but it's just extremely frustrating to play matches like this because they feel like I had basically no chance of winning unless I somehow had the game of my life (on my first game on a new hero).

As usual, blatant cheaters in every match played today. It's unreal how incompetent you are.

another WoW raid experience vs Victor. Should I be paying 14.99 a month for this?

Better off buying accounts at this point

Graves sold half their item
I have Graves on highest token 0 games out of 10 games even with priority f*king lies what chance sounds like account dependent
Warden was bot at my lane hence my high death
0 response in game

Why are these always these bots afk griefers in these games?

A good many of our games are like the above. I am archon and he is ritualist or the rank below that. It seems like one or both of us is in too high of a rank. We rarely win a lane and his win rate over the last month is in the low 40% range. I understand ranking are pushing a 50/50 win rate, but were not getting matches that seem remotely winnable most of the time.

Its usually one or two people on the opposing team that seem drastically better then everyone else in the match. We can accept losing, but when the majority of our games are 1-2 enemy players having +50%-+75% soul advantage over our team with 15+ kills is not fun.

still no matchmaking

View attachment 79157Why is matchmaking so dog shit? Why would I want to play in a game with 4-5 bots vs a competent team?

This looks just like my matches when i duo with my lesser rank friend. Expect the enemy team would have one guy double everyones worth and have 15+ kills. Its always this games where the overall rank on your team is supposedly higher, yet they beat the hell out of you anyway.

Party on amber had 2 eternus / high ascendant level players, but they abuse rank decay and party trio queue to get into lower rank games.

CAN EVERYONE WHO READ THIS LIKE AND MAKE YOSHI SEE, CHEATER CAUGHT BLANTANTLY.
hey @Yoshi i said on wednesday 2am that i am going on holiday so i wont be messaging in this forum. I came back today and guess what. 2 Cheaters in the enemy team. Amazing, Wonderful, Spectacular. My team paused the first second to say the 2 enemies are cheating. I tested it out. Well i got 2 clips for you if you're gonna do anything about it with your team but you probably won't.

For context, I purposely went invi to check his aim. Notice how he kept looking at my direction? What topped it off was he jump dash accurately and shot first to reveal myself. HE JUMPED AROUND THE CORNER TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHERE I WAS INVI AND IMMEDIATELY SHOT ME. what fucking bullshit hack is this that you're not taking notice?

THESE ARE HIS LAST 16 GAMES AND HIS GAMES NEVER WENT PAST 30 MINS

HE CREATED A NEW ACCOUNT JUTS TO CHEAT. GG

 

[flint.wongkh]

PART 2 CHEATER. CAN EVERYONE WHO READ THIS LIKE AND MAKE SURE YOSHI AND HIS TAKE ACTUALLY BAN THESE GUYS?

Hey @Yoshi 2 cheaters in the same game and i found another one for you. You won't believe me but ht created a new account and has never lost one game and his games never went past 30 minutes. But here is a short clip to highlight his AUTO PARRY paradox's skill and slowing hex before he press in such a short span and the HEADSHOT LOCK he got on Paradox and Vindicta.

This may be the worst case I have seen of the matchmaker just straight up not working, the graves on my team has legit A SINGLE GAME and she got put in a mid oracle lobby, obviously she had no clue how to play, I think the matchmaker may ACTUALLY be a bit broken.

Yamato either severely misplaced or just simply inting by running in to die all the time. Unpleasant with so many new/ returning players who get put in same lobbies when it shouldn't be like that.

 

[Sun1111]

lmao... matchmaking is just comical at this point.. Eternus 6 player and ascendant against emissaries. bro worst matchmaking in any game i have ever played. seriously.

 

[jporter917]

All the new and returning players are going to leave the week after the last new heroes drops too. Probably end up with less players than before the patch. Sad state. No amount of hype will save this game after launch with this MM. It will be less than 40k players after a month.

Immense disparity in kills between teams. Both infernus and bebop were new. Regular queue DL feels awful. I only have fun playing street brawl, which is sad to say because DL could be the best game. Please address this soon.

17 to 58 kills. If I had to guess at least two people on the other team were smurfs while my team clearly didn't understand that farming was a thing. Almost 70k souls down.

This was a lot of fun, Valve. I sure do love completely unwinnable games.

53676797

Can't imagine this was fun at all for the other team. Less than 30 minutes. 60K soul difference. They didn't kill a single walker. Absolute steamroll.
