Bad Matchmaking Thread

34470280

Shutouts like this probably shouldn't be happening. I would not say this was a particularly positive experience on either team, and my team won.

So I found out that some people are getting boosted based on their match history, friends list, consistency of playtime, and profiles being hidden on Tracklock.

If you want to know why pros are complaining about Oracle and Phantom players being bad, it's probably because they're getting boosted by smurf accounts.

For some reason, even though I'm Emissary IV, I get matched against Oracle players. I don't know why you guys are having such shit matchmaking where this has been the case. Also:
34497684, 34496816, 34493672, and 34474211 are all games that have more than 30k soul differences and defeats. Losers' queue is definitely a real thing that Valve has implemented if we are getting losses that are consistently 30k+ differences.
 
every game starts with 1-10 score at 5th minute pretty much, with enemy laners being on meth most of the time, bullets that never miss, etc.
what an enjoyable experience i must say.

34502662, 34501578 Lash Dynamo combo is way too strong. Stunlock is really apparent and makes us unable to play the game. Yoshi, seriously, if you keep catering to pros, it's just gonna be stun zone supreme, and we as a casual and mid level playerbase will not support your game.
 
34506346, Losers queue is really fucking bad. The majority of my teammates were on losing streaks of +3, but the enemies were on winning streaks of +2 or 3. Having tested many matches, it seems like this game is running on engagement based matchmaking similar to Marvel Rivals, where the game actually rewards you for playing less, as smurf accounts with way less games get way easier matchmaking to keep them playing, whereas more playtime accounts are given harder matches to initiate engagement.

The Mirage (Indominant) died in the first 5 to 10 minutes, blamed it on our Warden and started hurling insults at him. He then proceeded to throw a temper tantrum and for the rest of the game he would go AFK for 5 minutes then run around and steal farm. The last 30 minutes of the game he didn't participate in any team fights, wouldn't push lanes and went quiet on comms.

We all reported him, but judging by the forums and Reddit posts, the reporting system seems to be for show only. People like this really ruin the game and honestly I'll never understand what compels someone to act like a man-child when one tiny little thing doesn't go there way.

The stink of it is, although we lost the match, even one man down we held in there and were neck and neck with the enemy team for the entirety of the game.

Valve, please start punishing these players that are intentionally throwing or smurfing. And for the love of all things holy please implement some kind of notification that alerts players who report these people that some kind of action has been taking. This one "simple" thing could have a major impact on the mindset of people like me who are sick and tired of getting matched up with players who punish their entire team and waste everyones time by throwing the game.

Thank you
