Another stomp with a 80k!!!!!!!!!!! soul difference, but also just a whole entire MAJOR draft difference. Like, their ENTIRE team synergized extremely well with both pick- and teamfights. Lash ulti into Dynamo ult, Bebop Hook into sleep and burst damage, it's just uncounterable.
None of our team had any synergy to any extent and were basically just sitting duck for them. Like, Talon is hard-countered by just any pick hero because he's so slow and floats in the air. Rem (me) is countered by every pick hero, especially Calico, because they can just one-shot me down. Their entire team was on a killing spree, it's just - excuse my language - full on bullshit this matchmaking currently. Like how do you win a game like that? There's no win, none at all.

A couple of months later, after a nice break, I decided to go back to testing the deadlock, and for the first three games I’ve been playing against a cheater. I don’t feel like testing the game again, because on my alt—where my rank is even slightly higher than on my main account—the game runs completely smoothly and is actually quite easy, but is my main account somehow stuck in a hidden ban and a hidden pool? It’s incredibly frustrating and a real shame that this has completely killed my desire to play and test the game

i went from arcanist 6 to 2
not sure what would make me derank sicnce i played really well fist game and decent second
Deadlock matchmaking is the worst it has been since I started playing this game. Let me get this straight: I love the game, but the matchmaking is making it unplayable. This is the first time (after almost 1000 hours played) that I’m going to avoid playing until the matchmaking is fixed—hopefully soon.
Some food for thought before I uninstall the game:
I really hope the state of the game improves, but until then, it’s been a good run. Rant over—see you soon, hopefully.
Some food for thought before I uninstall the game:
- Midboss right now is a “win-more” mechanic. In most games, the team that is already ahead gets the midboss and then wins with the first push. Maybe make it so the first midboss only gives one Rejuvenator and progressively becomes stronger as the game goes on.
- Duos are a problem right now. The matchmaking doesn’t know how to properly balance them (usually one very strong player and one medium-skill player).
- There are too many Obscurus players in relatively high-elo games, with only two outcomes: smurfs or very new players—both are bad for competitive integrity.
- Matchmaking also doesn’t balance team compositions properly (all carries on one team, all spirit damage on the other, too much CC on one side, etc.).
- Games are very snowbally right now. Playing from behind is a miserable experience, partly because of poor matchmaking and limited itemization options.
- I felt the game was in a better state with a bigger map—you had more opportunities to counterplay the snowball meta.
- Trying a new character is also terrible right now because of all the reasons above, which actively hurts the game.
- Seeing 2-3 underperforming teammates in a game is sadly the norm now. The usual chain of eventsi have see with this king of teammates is a follow, gets stomped in lane, starts farming the jungle, dont play objectives, snowball meta continues and loose the game
I really hope the state of the game improves, but until then, it’s been a good run. Rant over—see you soon, hopefully.

The matchmaking for this game is absolutely terrible. Every match I play for the last 4 games have been a 40-50+ thousand difference and my teammates go 2/12 and say they don't care its nuts.

This 4 stack party would rather farm afk jungle than get the walkers after winning each fight they are busy E role playing homosexuals than players I swear these players are not human or reasonable people just miserable pieces of meat
I have to die a single death for each walker because the enemy party knows I am the only player who know this game is a fucking MOBA
Insane I have to pop off unstoppable every single time to even survive a fight because paige would rather shield their party Holiday escape artists than tanks and of course the party leaves me to die
These players have 100 to 300 hrs+ and can't understand basics its like they are playing entire different game altogether even bought Trophy to catch the free stacks this team is just bad
Communication ban for this because I told them to go for walkers party report working well
Time to make initiates cry don't care

European Infernus had a macro to feed instead of leaving game to avoid penalty
He zips into lane and sits there until he dies, then respawns and does it again.

I don't think these devs will fix matchmaking they had since 2012 from past game to fix matchmaking surely valve time of decades will eventually fix it that's simply delusional and so far devs would rather make statlocker API increasingly difficult to access to expose matchmaking than actually fix it
There are still players who don't understand Mid boss is important even at Eternus
Duos you mean party that thing has been busted since Dota 2 every party stack can abuse to get until Divine or Deadlock level Ascendants then climb to ez Immortal or Eternus it never went away the past dota 2 devs used to always party up to climb ranks than play solo if these devs ever played solo they would know and fix the game immediately
Matchmaking always balances it properly in winning spree you get better composition outside that its always been bad composition its predictable pattern at this point
The meta is snowbally at the moment due to broowl 24/7 teamfighting meta with trophy and walker bullet resistence
