Bad Matchmaking Thread

31479249
The game says the average skill raating of both teams are Archon V. My skill rank is Arcanist IV.
I shouldn't have to explain why this is bizarre.

Note: This was through solo queue on normal gamemode, and I had the extra competitiveness toggled off from my lane preferences.
 
Are you ever gonna fix matchmaking or is it still gonna be shit for the coming months? Seriously, why on Earth did you merge casual with ranked mode? Why is there even a ranked mode in a beta lmao. Seriously look at this shit. How is this fair. We got utterly wrecked and they managed to push us so hard into our spawn because of it. UNMERGE RANKED AND PUT IT BACK ON A TIMER [ID: 3150515]

I was queued with 2 other people, I dont know if anyone else on our team was queued together. The enemy team was clearly in a very coordinated 5 or 6 stack. There was no way an even equally skilled team of people would win against that level of coordination

New year, new low :)
At this point I think the devs are not trying anything at all to fix the terrible matchmaking system despite this being one of the most raised issues. I understand this is an alpha game, but if you wanted the players to be willing to test the game, at least make it enjoyable? The current version of the matchmaking is THE ABSOLUTE WORST in all of my playtime since August.

I really want this game to be good, I really do, because I really love this game, but if the devs are not trying to figure things out to give reasons for the players to enjoy the game at all, I don't see any reason to keep sticking to this game anymore.

I couldn't care less about the bugs or visuals because to me nothing is more important than the player experience, and I can firmly say that out of the games that I have played, Deadlock surely has the absolute WORST matchmaking algorithm. Unfairly matched games where one team absolutely dominates the other, fair games only happen once in a blue moon.

Yea, hopefully after the devs break they can use all the data to improve matchmaking on the first or second patch of the year, or at the very least address it.

Other team felt like professionals, oh my goodness, I'm not very good at the game so being put into this match felt crazy.

This one was the opposite way, had a very stacked team on our end but not so for their side.

24min game, 5 stack with a 0/19 krill and a 2/9 infernus.
game was over before it started.
So disgustingly bad i cant believe this can even happen

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help
