Bad Matchmaking Thread

2 or 3 smurfs in the same game and we get circles run around us on the map. Half our team doesn't communicate and we get picked off over and over.

Personally I wouldn't even mind being thrown into lobbies with better players like this if they were at least actually putting a LOT OF POINTS on the line for us lower rank players to grab. You can win or lose to a player smurfing on an Emissary account who in reality is Oracle+ and it feels like the system doesn't reward or go easy on you for it.

People seem to feel incentivized to smurf with the current system, even players that are not necessarily looking for a stomp. Many pros and E6 streamers will openly tell you they smurf just for better queue times but the MMR distortion really ruins things for those of us trying to climb the honest way.

dog water matchmaking. devs dont care. ive said it time and time again. if we all just drop deadlock then theyll be forced to make changes that would make the game better. but what do i know. i just get shoved in lobbies like this were a holliday does 204 damage a bullet. smh game is dying and devs dont care. literally everybody and their mom thinks this game is going to die and im here to see it for real for real.

from what i understand the player base is pretty low atp and the lack of transparency or any sort of open communication is definitely not doing any good
its kind hard to really see a significant difference between writing something here and making a tweet at EA about sims

[lucastret23]

valve what the fuck there needs to be a system that cancels matches with this amount of discrepancy

Why does the match making put both eternus parties into one team instead of against each other (magician, calico and paradox was a separate party from holliday, grey talon and lash) ? wide queue needs a rework.. or just use average rank and delete wide queue

 

[lucastret23]

seriously two in a row

[lucastret23]

three in a row 33148764

is this a bug or something

 

[lucastret23]

fourth in a row, but at least rankings were on our side. Two people in this match were present in one of our previous matches, pretty sure they're smurfs

whoever reads this is probably going thru like 1000 replay codes and seeing only shit so i thought i would give u this 33152115 the most fun game i've played of anything ever

i was dynamo
felt like every choice mattered even if i had no clue what items to buy at the end

33175861 - Almost a full rank apart. Why? Game was over maybe 5 minutes in.

Abrams and Vyper fed lane, Seven was not present at all and our team was always very scattered out. There were constant comms telling people to retreat to base or not stack on a lane which led to them just walking into our base and winning. very very unfun match

Wow Valve, amazing job with the matchmaking! Keep it up! Plus Shiv is a well adjusted character with no flaws whatsoever! I love going into games just to get stomped non-stop!
