ID: 34137730. I don't know if mm has changed from the farm patch, but ever since whenever I play with friends that are higher ranks it feels like mm just doesn't know what to do. Example:

My rank is phantom 3 right now. Average on our team was an Oracle. Average enemies rank was Emissary(around twelve ranks lower). Should I even say that it was a complete stomp?

what the fuck is this im arcanist 2 and the other team is 2 ranks above me

It's more obvious when there's a big difference in teams average ranks, but even when the team average is the same, but within the teams there's a big difference between players' ranks it's also bad.
Like if i'm Alch 4 and the other guy is Ritualist 4 it's also not good.
But I guess it's the problem due to decreasing number of players.

Dear Deadlock team, I have yet another player that ruined the game again. I hope you once again take this case seriously and actually perform some action against these type of people that ruin the fun in game.

I found him again in the second game and he abandoned the game straight, leaving his other 3 random teammates to fight for 5 of them. He is literally ruining games for people and he gets to play another day. Please ban him and he is very toxic. Here is another clip of him just being toxic to my friends.

Three lanes is not it when the matchmaking is so bad. from Phan 4 to O2 bc of one lane just absolutely being in thr wrong rank/mmr/whatever. It makes the experience so bad and unrewarding. These games i have played ok or at decent to only have 1 lane just be absolulely bad.

Something seems very wrong with matchmaking. I currently have 11 losses and 2 wins as Mirage. If the character based matchmaking is working correctly, I should not be getting placed against people who could even be described as competent.

Ritualist players vs Oracle players. What on earth?!?!?
I am Emissary 1 for comparison.
Every lane lost and I could not figure out a way to manage the skill difference in any way shape or form.

34193515 - team composition is so broken i was literally dying to calico & talon spamming their abilities
34192708 - skill level was much higher between players
34159388 - this match was a joke to devs, everyone in my team leaves lasted 12mins
34158881 - broken match making put me in a match 5 skill ranks higher than mine.

Make an option for solo-Q only matches. I don't want to play against 4-6 man premade stacks, the experience is far from pleasant, especially so in eu.

Dear Deadlock Team; Message 14: 4 Different images tell 4 different stories of how bad matchmaking is today. I played 5 games today and what do you know, I only won one where I had to play at least 30Mins+ but these other 4 games, phew. finished faster than you would take to acknowledge!. In 15minutes, the networth between both teams are already at least 25k. In just 15 MINUTES. You can say its a skill issue but when its with 15 other different teammates, surely it can't just be skill issue and instead its your bad matchmaking issue right?

I stand corrected, I played 8 matches today and lost 6 out of 8.


Lets dive into a deeper analysis of those games i lost that took me almost 30 minutes. For this below one, You really didn't provide me any help with teammates I see! you gave the enemy team at least 5 of them with positive KD whereas my team had to matchup against them and I had such a bad shiv and warden! no surprise there and my team's rank is 3 subrank higher btw(archon 2 vs emissary 5) and yet we still suffered.

Here is the 33 minute Loss, Will you look at that, i notice a pattern where my teammates with at least 3 of them will always have only 1 kill or 2 kill. and then you have me and one other random trying to help win the game but if you look at the enemy team, major difference!
Here is the 28Minute loss. What do you know, i got teammates that had only 1 kill, 0 surprisingly and 2!. and look at that damage in the span of 28 minutes. I will give you credit its the same rank v rank but are you sure the enemy is the same rank!? Your algorithm is improving in finding similar ranks but somehow the skill doesn't fit the rank which makes it a bad matchmaking.

Here are another 4 more SS I noticed before the 15 minute mark, and these images below are 4 other games than the 3 different images above! Wow would you look at that networth disparity. you guys really need to improve your matchmaking algorithm because you are getting feedback daily and I don't see you guys acknowledging it. If you guys just like it then we'll know you guys are listening and trying but so far, the feedback form after the game doesn't do shit.

Was top 500 EU as Ascendant 5 today then ONLY queued into Oracle averaged games and lost 12 games, worst matchmaking today ive ever had. Why am I queueing into ONLY these games today, Eternus average games are easier and more enjoyable than playing with a lobby of lobotomised apes, this is literally unplayable, I just wasted a whole day watching monkeys on my team get farmed. Why on earth is it even possible for Ascendant+ players to even be in the same lobby as people who are 3-4 ranks below. Every single ones of the games from 23/03 are oracle averaged, its a disgrace how poor the match quality is today
