Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Chatbrun13]

Hello,

I'm writting this post because I'm put in Oracle 1 matches while playing new Heros for the first time and get my ass handed to me. Why ?

Because I was Ritualist at Max when playing my main . And now I find myself in Oracle lobby (don't know why) and lose every-single-time. Can I come back to Ritualist please

Two extremely unpleasant matches where there was no coming back, the game was extremely lop-sided and unpleasant from the beginning. Especially in the top on there was almost a 100k soul lead for the enemy team, which felt like it shouldn't be possible at all.

completely one sided match.

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

Completely unfair matchmaking in this one.

Emissary 2 for the enemy team and Ritualist 5 on our team; I was Ritualist 4 during this match.
We had two people who contributed nothing. I assumed I was the lowest elo on my team and it gave us higher ones to balance it out, but the results speak for themselves.

I don't even understand why the game thought this was a fair matchup, I wasn't even on a winning streak. For games with wider matchmaking like this we shouldn't lose rank, especially if you didn't do bad.

The silver just kinda fed all game and was way overextended the entire time, Apollo was just having a hard time.
The three of us were all playing properly and doing well, but two dead weights made it impossible to win against a team that was all performing well.

Invested approx 50-60h lately and went from Initiate to borderline Alchemist 1.

Honestly what I see is somehow bigger discrepancy despite of much longer queue times (Initiate took less then 2 min usually to start the game -> now it regularly takes 3-5 despite me adding 3 more heroes to legend pool of mine).

Also there are much more games where people somehow play like bots = worse than I have ever seen in Initiate level. Meanwhile better players are significantly better = more coordinated, advanced movement starts to appear regularly, much better accuracy.

And finally it is sad to see so many players who get triggered by comms - you asking to change lanes because one is weaker than other, not to lose them all, or suggest some tactics and getting instant "stfu" messages or voice comms. So much less was present in lower ranks. Not sure how in Beta testing community is already so typical of Overwatch or Apex aka hero ball + any communication in soloq triggers rage and brainless comments.

p.s. I was made aware of option where you can choose more competitive queue -> somehow after ticking that I feel like I get put in games where game expects me to carry bots vs actually putting me in overall more competitive teams. Maybe a bug.
