Bad Matchmaking Thread

I have got 90% of my game singled sided unplayable
Here is an example game id: 31380337
I have got my lane pretty even while other lanes are complete failures. Teammate are 10k lower in eco.

I'm high oracle meaning I was already a low outlier on our phantom team, yet the matchmaker decided to put us against an ascendant team (with known cheater jonjon on it no less). Give me a break.

I and at least one other person play from NA, but got put into an SA server according to another player on my team. It most likely happened to others, as at least 8 people disconnected at the beginning of the match (myself included).

Enemy team could have won much faster but since it's lower rank they're afraid to finish. Geist was just running down his lane suicide feeding and being very toxic so it was 5v6 pretty much all game.

i go even in lane against infernus then he farms for a few mins and is 30k ahead of anyone else in the game? it was only him against our whole team and he could 1v6 us. what can you do when you already have full bullet shield, metal skin and debuff remover and he still only needs a few seconds of shooting you to get 3k+ damage...gg nerf infernus

completely unbalanced, game qwas over after 10 minutes.
Winning on a hero makes the following games really unplayable
 
What got changed in the last 3 days.

Before that, propper match ups with ~phantom, afterwards archon/oracle with people not knowing objectives and nearly afk farming and feeding the whole games. Unplayable again.

Allegedly smurfing haze who is obviously at minimum ascendant in a low oracle match dropping nearly 100k damage, utterly bad matchmaking error whatever way you look at it.

For this match the "Extra competitive" button was checked.

The Warden and the McGuinis were extremely bad. Both fed their lane very easily by just running at the enemy with 20% health. You'd think Pocket's shotgun did no damage based on the way both of them played in lane. At 11 minutes Warden was 1/7/0 and McGuinis was 1/3/0. Their lane opponents weren't super amazing (they were good though), Warden and McGuinis were just that bad.

While the Grey Talon may seem like an outlier, looking at the gameplay, his lane fed him, he played very well, and used his ult to help his other lanes (and he used it more than 4 times in the match).

After the lane phase the Warden would just run at the enemy, press all of his buttons with his ult up, and hope he got a kill; with or without team mates. The Warden has almost 500 hours in deadlock, but plays like someone who barely understand what levels are and that more souls means more powerful. Running at someone twice your soul level isn't a great idea, but Warden doesn't understand. If you look up his game history he's consistently this bad.

McGuinis would just try to rush towers down and not contribute to the game. She would regularly wall off objectives when she was near her team. The worst non-contribution from McGuinis would be the fact she used her ult only 4 times in a 35 minute match... McGuinis would also regularly face check enemies that were above her soul level (9k McGuinis against a 14k Pocket). How a player that plays this poorly and doesn't use one of their most powerful skills was queued with me is a mystery.

If a player is consistently getting death counts like this, they should be queued with other players who score similarly. A score in the double digits shows poor decision making that item build or skill usage could never express.
