Bad Matchmaking Thread

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

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

Not sure what went wrong here, playing with some Eternus buddys and we got matched with a bunch of people who claimed to have been oracle and below. Checking their profiles shows no high rank players.

The post-match screen shows both sides are E6, which is clearly not true, which is why I am reporting.
 
Solo queue as Archon 2, ended up in a Phantom 4 lobby, which means the other people in the game were higher than phantom. The Vindicta is rank 507 in EU, Ascendant 6

Same situation here, but in an Oracle lobby

Completely unbalanced. Two players on our team way above our average skill rank, completely stomping the game. Only really good players on the enemy team were Paradox and Mo/Krill. McGinnis had her THIRD game in this match. I am at 450 games, why am I playing with a complete beginner?

If you watch the whole game, you can see that there is an auto finisher with an ult (especially the last kills make this clear) and an aim
