Ummm no...
That's not how this works.
If he doesn't perform he shouldn't be stuck in Ritualist, he should go lower into a rank where he is with players of EQUAL skill.

This is the problem the game has. If you don't perform you're stuck in the new inflated ranks and it refuses to demote you, so NO-ONE gets a fair lobby.
What's with the random bold and italics, you need to get back to reddit little bro.
 
This is for Street Brawl so it's not as high priority, but two games me and my friend, both over 200 hours played, got matched twice in a row with people who admitted they were brand new to the characters they were playing, leading to stomps both times. Admittedly I was playing Apollo, but I already had over ten games on him. Me and my friend definitely aren't pros or anything like that, but I'd like to think we shouldn't end up in lobbies with players this fresh, nor should they be dragged to our level.

I am not one to complain about matchmaking given the early state of the game, but my last 5 matches in a row have all featured someone on the enemy team with ~15 kills and ~0 deaths, which is definitely not my usual experience - it's incredibly demoralizing lol

Valve: lets make fair match making.

Player: How?

Valve: Lets put all the seeker players with 50 hours and 15 matches played against a full team of people with 500+ matches.

Fucking idiots.
They dont even try to balance the teams out. They literally stack all the fucking noobs on one side and put them against people with experience. Its fucking ridiculous.

57956773 - the skill difference between losing team and winning team was very apparent, I led my team with 2 kills, 95k soul differential in 25ish minutes of pain
58932705 - 41-0-7 bebop player wiped our whole team repeatedly, 61k soul differential
 
Blatant smurfing Sinclair hard carried his entire team, then when called out multiple times, especially near the end, goes "who??????????". When called out before, he said nothing, but the fact he pulls out the "WHO" shtick is so blatant it hurts. He counter-spelled so many of our teams abilities non-stop and when looking at his page, he has a level 0 profile and it shows that he can't bother playing in his own rank. Ban him and his main [Match ID: 59347543]

Valve literally does not care. They don't moderate any game they have ever made, and Deadlock is the same. Most matches will have cheaters/smurfs/bots/bought accounts, etc. They can afford to moderate their games but they don't because they simply do not care.

another day, another ruined matchmaking: 56391675

one player, wiianda (silver) can't even move because he is on a different server (high ping or delay or packet loss) causing him to leave the game 5 minutes into the game. i can only suggest:

1. fix matchmaking (skill level distribution, dedicated servers,etc.)
2. add a report button for people who are leaving the game or going afk (griefing may not count as a violation for these two actions).

thank you.
