Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Rattoli]

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.

22655294 every lane except ours lost. 23', 60k lead. is the mm even trying?

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.

Repeatedly forced onto russian teams all day long. Only quality game was with a mix of NA/actual europeans. This games just dead if ranked plays like this.

Solo lane matchup was 6k souls behind and 0/6 against the enemy lane. This really needs to get fixed - it's happening too often now

22661758. Bebop died 7 times in lane before the 10 min mark and left.

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

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.

This game felt mostly balanced, except for the Shiv. Got an early lead and snowballed.

Amber Hand completely stomped the other hand, no contest possible after laning phase

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.

mirage is completely clueless or straight up a new player, while other team is the same lvl.

[threelettername3]

22646977. 25 Min game with final score 3-36 108k - 192k. Completely one sided game the entire round

 

[mrsam1804]

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.

82k soul diff in a 24min game
I was the McGinnis this match, worst game I've ever experienced, enough to get me to make an account here.

 

[turbopower1000]

Sapphire Flame with 55 kills and 11 deaths.
Highest Kill player on the enemy team was Talon who went 3-3-3
Lowest Kill player on our team was me or Dynamo who went 6-1-14/5-2-15
