Bad Matchmaking Thread

This game was over at about the 5 minute mark. If there was a "Forfeit Match" button at that point I would've hit it.
Checking tracklock, Rocaine and Vegas have Eternus games in the past 10 games. (Rocaine has an eternus 6 game in the past 10, vegas has eternus 1 and eternus 2 in the past 10.)

I'm completely aware that the matchmaker at nighttime will be bad (this was a 12:30AMish game? NA servers, that's 12:30AM pacific/west-coast/Los Angeles time) But I would much rather have a 1 minute queue time than a 17 minute and 49 second wait for the enemy team to actually finally kill us.

greiferrs, smurferss, cheaters.... how is this supposed to be a successful release when the data you capture is skewed towards these mofos. I'm with you, this is brutal to play.
 
Dear Deadlock team, For the matchmaking, please change your algorithm somehow to make it like Dota 2 where we would always find almost similar ranks. You guys are a big company and have made amazing games like Dota, just learn and take from their matchmaking. I came on to play deadlock with friends on the weekend and I was bombarded with amazing losses. You notice that when i win, it takes more than 30mins but if i lose it would always be less than 25? The problem with matchmaking is that you guys dont try hard enough to pair us with proper teammates and proper enemies because there have been a number of games where my team rank average is emisarry or archon 2 to 3 games in a row with oracle enemies. If you can get 2 to 3 games of same ranked teammates, you can certainly find the same for enemies! Please update your matchmaking for the love of god because it isn't fun getting such bad games. Thank you.

I am Arcanist 6/Ritualist 1 (on a good day) and I was placed in an Alchemist 5 match this morning. That is a difference of 7 ranks. And I was third place scorer on my team. So what gives here? If I',m 7 ranks above team average, and I was third place on my team, what the hell rank are McGinnis and Calico? If McGinnis or Calico are smurfs, that's one thing. I don't really care to investigate if they are.

What I really want to know is: how is the team average MMR calculated? And what first time player dragged it down to Alchemist 5? Honestly I feel bad for the entire losing team. This was about as one-sided a game as I have seen on Deadlock.

Thanks for reading.

Thought I'd try again after the recent map update but matchmaking is still broken and now the map is less fun too.

I know. It need teammate more than before.(orb deny are more important than before . Not to mention there don't have solo lane now) And matchmaking system is still bad. I don't know why that they don't want to decrease the play vs play amount (4v4 or 5v5) instead of making new map.Which mean solo queue are more unplayable now.
I play around 600 hours and top 500 in asian server now and I still uninstall it.I may install it until they change something.

Completely ridiculous match, the Grey Talon was ranked at a Phantom 5, now consistently performing at mid ascendant performance, in out lobby, a ritualist 3 average. The Mo also was seemingly ban evading. GT was queued with Yamato, Mo, and Kelvin, all brand new to the game

Hazzy and Sen X, the #1 and #7 players in oce respectively queue as a party making it impossible to form balanced games as the playerbase in oceania is too small. Please restrict party mmr or just change the queue so it doesn't form games with rank divides like this. This is not the first time I've had a game like this, it is a consistent feature of oce matchmaking.

Same as last time but somehow even worse. What is the point of matchmaking if the games it forms are unwinnable, an 8 subrank difference (with 2 top 10 players) is just absurd. Please just don't form matches when the ranks are this unbalanced.

The average rank of the archon team is 6 against oracle's 5, despite the fact that I have an ascendant of 2
I just can't win this game alone because I can't farm, kill, and destroy objects at the same time (I played on Seven)

ended 118k souls to 176k souls, at the 26 minute mark. the enemy team felt like they were a well oiled machine, pefectly communicating where each of us were to each other, while my team, who appeared to just be solo queues, all were desperatly trying to cordinate a gank. the kill counts tell a very obvious story, one where 45 kills is contrasted with 6 kills, the only lane that wasnt immediately pushed was the lane i started in with mcginnis, and even then. we were going to be ganked if we didnt try and stop the fall of the other lanes.

unsure of the ranks of indiviuals, but they felt much better then my team for sure.

Got absolutely rolled within the first 4 minutes of the game, Vindicta was from EU / Russian servers (and was a total dick) Wasn't even close, Shiv and Vindicta were just mean, terrible match.
