Bad Matchmaking Thread

Prior to the update which included the ranked button on the main menu, most of my games were pretty well balanced. Now, over 50% of the games I play are like these:

22040497 - Teammates are 3/16/3, 3/12/1, 2/8/5, 4/10/6, 5/9/8, with a huge disparity in souls as well.

22652671 (just played) - Teammates are 2/5/4, 1/5/3, 4/11/3, 2/5/4, 1/7/2. My lane opponent (kelvin) seemed to very obviously not belong in the same game as me either, as i killed him off respawn 5 times in a row before leaving lane.

Both were soloqueue.
 
2267006 - Enemy pocket dies 3 times and abandons before getting his first 500 soul item, almost certainly a low skill player if not totally new, shouldn't be matched with me and my ~69% Seven win rate if he's low skill imo.

not to mention my team spoke Russian and imo same language comms is a bare minimum in a team game, please language lock match making, so many games I get people who won't comms in English, nothing against them, I'm sure they don't want me comms in English either, so make everyone happy and language lock match making please.
 
Match ID 22660214. 4 players trying to power farm jungle unwilling to match into enemy team even 1 on 1. Meanwhile enemy team triple ultimates the instant someone shows up. Massive soul gap. Allied players get 2v1ed in melee as wraith abrams against a mcginnis Even at similar souls value. Skill level wise I'd say we had a 25 percentile against like 40

MATCHID: 22659020

Haze was playing their second match of their life they admitted. I have played like 80 games now and don't know why I am getting these horrible quality matches regularly. We couldn't win because Haze was feeding and Grey Talon was freaking out cause he was playing with beginners. Stop matching new players with experiences players.
 
In this match, Haze was roughly at the same level as me, Warden, and Ivy in terms of skill, but her team was dreadfully new. This was a normal match. Match ID#22664793.

Additionally, as you can see by the damage done to both players and objectives, Pocket, Infernus, and Seven were below the skill level of the best players in the match and mostly benefited off the success of their teammates.

also just in general quality of games is very bad, massive lose streaks, and even after a pretty big lose streak matchmaking puts some straight up bad players whos not even trying in the my team while enemy team is strong. Its either bad matchmaking when on one lane opponents with a very huge skill gap or its a bad matchmaking when the skill lvl evaluated poorly. also me winning almost pretty much every lane and doing objectives (or trying). but some teammates dont bother (in the last game haze has 0 obj dmg in 30 mins).
 
Small collection of the many matches in which the matchmaker seemingly put me into "do nothing for 40 minutes while enemy team stomps simulator" instead of Deadlock.

Edit: Just look at my recent games actually, it illustrates the point far better.
