Bad Matchmaking Thread

Hi, I’d like to report this player for suspected smurfing.
Please check the evidence I uploaded in the screenshots. From what I can see, this looks like a very new Steam account, but the gameplay and match impact are far above what you would normally expect in this bracket.


I’m not sure whether this account is being used for smurfing, boosting, reselling, or just as an alt account, but I believe it should be looked into.


Players like this really hurt the experience for actual low-bracket / newer players, because it makes matches feel unfair and frustrating. It can easily kill motivation for people who are still trying to learn and enjoy the game.


I hope the Deadlock dev team can review this case and take action if needed. Thanks.

Matches feel very poor today.
72051904
Poorly coordinated team whom is not communicating anything versus a team that is very much organised and handling both micro and macro well
 
Majority of games are like this: I double or even triple the effectiveness of all of my team mates.

Match ID: 72055863

1774988739576.jpegOutplay and preform the enemy 11 stack, only death solo defending Patron. Run down lane feeders crying all game "wah wah graves one pushed" (becase we just afk watch, shoot the zombie? what's that? Farm 500 souls every time ults? nah let it take gaurdian!

Use, fucking, stats! in matchmaking!

When I have 20+ KDA i should not be getting these sub 1 KDA feeding trash
 
5 run down lane feeders and it still took hacking to kill me both times, pathetic sub human trash you allow to ruin this game just like dota................0/10/0 should not be in the same team as a 20/0.....especially feeding 0/20/0 as doorslur and seven...that should be an auto perma ban to ever go 0/10 as doorslur or seven......

The slurs were bragging about 11 stacking and getting their slur friends to feed them, actual insanity you will ruin MY RANK over this, when clearly I should go up over 50 ranks for going 10/0 to 20/0 constantly in 1v11s.....1774992750192.jpeg
 
It's so insane how you could fix 99% of matchmaking issues with two changes

Strict solo queue option (so kids can't 11 stack for 250 of my 250 solo queue matches)

Use KDA in matchmaking.

Why when I have 20+ KDA on my mains, do i get 5 kids with -10 kdas?

That's...ummm....literally universes apart. THe lowest to the highest rank in the game, is not even 1% of the distance between 20+ KDA and -10's, WHEN I GET THE 20+ PLAYING 1v11 WITH -10 KDA SUB HUMANS
 
It's really disappointing to play this game and I am very close to just dropping it until it's officially released. I am Arcanist II despite being MVP every single freaking match, doing Gods work. Meanwhile, mates that just started playing the game being put in emissary or archon when they are going 0/10 and feeding like hell because they are new to the game. Like why am I not there when I am outperforming everyone in my lobbies?
 
Yet another 11 stack, 5 run down lane feeders, I dramatically out play the enemy team, but does not matter when fed 50 kills in 10m

and the gutter trash have to hack to kill me XD

Why do you allow hacking? I just don't get it....ban slurs that go 0/20/0.....ban kids that claim to kill someone with 5000 life when they deal 0 damag.e......
 
5 run down lane feeders in an 11 stack held me hostage for 40m.

Stopped 1v11ing at 20m, and let them end, thinking of course 11v0 it faster than 11v1?

Nope they anti gaming gutter slurs, that had to hack to kill me still. This is my build after 20m when I sold my 40k soul net worth for afk items

first 2 matches were *AFTER* i turned on the "extra competitive matchmaking" option which did not change much if anything, still got very new teammates who struggled to keep up

72093282 - doorman with 15 hours, rest of team presumably similar but private profiles, cannot keep up with the rest
72019193 - graves with 9 hours, rem with 3 hours, very new players in ritualist elo who cannot keep up with the rest of the team
71616549 - team playtimes range from 50 hours to 1,500+, again, new players in higher ish elo's that are struggling to keep up and bring the rest of the team down
 
aahahahahahahah 5 run down lane feeders, and it took I kill them I die instead hack and a global paige snare, that she hacked to be a stun, that lasted 18 seconds XD

When I have fucking 0/20/0 sub humans, why the slur are you okay with thsi? I dont' get it....stop letting slur 11 stacks ruin thsi fucking game!!!!

a hacking gutter slur paige si 21/0????? when I was 10/0? in a 10 to 100 game? yeah no kys

1775003179965.jpeg


If you gave each of these sub humans 1 trillion life times, they would not have the COMBINED skill to be on my team, we why do I have all FIVE OF THEM!? STOP LETTINTG STACKS SUB HUMAN THIS GAME

lane partner went 0 and 6 in lane, leading to the entire team snowballing and ending us in 20 mins with 50k advantage.
I have no clue why my lane partner was even in these lobbies (ritualist 1), as they didn't seem to know how to play the game.
I also lost the last couple games, so i have no clue why the matchmaker would even consider this as a valid match unless it does not take W:L ratio into account.
 
Match ID 72126862
complete other end of the spectrum from my last post. pocket (in my lane) didnt seem to know what he was doing early on, but pulled it back later.
however, blue was dominated so hard both blue people left, leading to a win in 23 mins
 
Playing in eu at night time (like 2 am) will 100% always have a smurf,it's either a calssic smurf or someone playing with a friend or boosting someone,it's very obvious from the game history,especially easy now with being able to check ingame quickly in the history instead of statlock or something.

I genuinly can tell immediately by how they play and item build move around the map and what fights they ignore,they also stop fighting at some point just to get strong and become a raid boss or they go for like only fighting heros like calico or yamato and own the lobby.

It's also very obvious they have a smurf and playing with someone when you have a duo in your team and clearly his friend is bad or new and obvious feeding the enemy smurf like crazy and that is supposed to balance it out and make it fair?

Just to name you 1 game (72121557) this game the enemies ALL had low game numbers every single one of them and also the game que was not that long 2-4min for all games

72110448 this one was super obv i asked the Haze and he didn't say anything based on how he aimed at buying unstop super early i knew 100% he was a smurf
1775006664431.png

Pls Devs do something at least punish them after the game releases,i play late because that's the time i usually only can play but not only is the MM bad but i get always 1 smurf in the enemy team that is feed min 8

For example this game (72090992) was just bad and my Kelvin refusing to buy counter items untill the very end when he finally did it way to late,there should be a algorith to detect if someone actually buys counter items or support items,i was not able to play vs that enemy comp

Out of the blue, over the last 2 days, I went from getting regularly useful teammates in my rank (oracle), to just consistently getting people 2 ranks below me, and its consistently people who are much worse than the people I was getting two days ago consistently. I went from a very stable above %50 winrate to barely %30 over the last 2 days.
