Bad Matchmaking Thread

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
I'm quitting deadlock for the foreseeable future because this is every game for me, I was oracle 2 a week ago but for some reason im either getting in lobbies like this or deranking for winning my games. Please adjust the matchmaker to extend the queue times and prioritise players being matched with even teams. The game before this I was forced into an arcanist lobby while I'm archon 5. I won the game basically by myself in a complete landslide and got demoted for it.

Haze doesn't belong here. I'm guessing the twitch streaming McGinnis who is the only player in the lobby who knew how to push lanes properly also doesn't belong here but in the opposite direction.

hey dumb asses, other team clearly their rank and players on our team are not. Yall want to get this constant paycheck for a while huh? this is why faceit and customs are much better and the only thing keeping this game from dying bc they are balanced unlike the dumb devs. Ruined after three lanes. How does this page go up 150? because you are incompetent? who cares if we are being hard bc we have to be unless you want ot be like OW and rivals
Don't gotta be a jerk about it. There's no constant paycheck either, they literally make 0 profit from Deadlock at the moment.

Before matching in emissary or lower, just give out a prompt, no matches found.

This is painful to play, yesterday anything from archon to phantom - great. Today just garbage.

i had 3 feeders on my team and johoe was the mostly of the problem. start of the game he was 1/5 in death and only got kills on last hits
why is the game match making putting newms in high skill games
i dislike how the match making gets and this problem is the reason

zzzz how do you give me a higher rank team on paper but i have 3 teammates that went 2/17, 3/16, 1/14. clearly the abrams is high rank but even he couldn't do much against an enemy team where 5 of them went positive. it is ultimately a 5 and 1/2 vs 3 because those 3 teammates killed a total of 6 but died a total of 47. 6/47 kd make it make sense. you guys have no shame. 9 games played and 2 wins only because of these people. I come back from work and i lose to these idiots. go fix your stupid game @Yoshi

2v6 rest completely ignoring objectives. Please for fucks sake stop matching low archon/emissary or lower, rather not play.

two players know how to farm while the rest of the entire lobby doesn't. The two that do are on the other team though. So that puts me at disadvantage. Me and lash delay this game as long as we possibly can but it's just a slow loss. Even with pristine emblem the soul disparity gets so high that I do basically 0 damage to Mo while he's ulting someone backline surrounded by 4 turrets. I understand the playerbase to have fairer games isnt there yet, but that's on you guys for opening the floodgates on this thing so early. As someone whose invite was before the termination of the NDA, I say just go dark until you've got more ready. You have a low player pool and one that is mostly not testing the game in good faith.

Yeah Idk whats going on here. We are apparantly evenly matched, and looking at everyone's tracklock that seems to be true, that being said this was in no way, shape, or form, a balanced matched
 
I LOVE PLAYING DEADLOCK. I LIKE ENDING UP IN GAMES WHERE THE OTHER TEAM IS HARD CARRIED BY A SMURF-LIKE WARDEN AND OTHER TEAMMATES WHO PUNISH US/STOMP US AT EVERY TURN WE MAKE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TWO OF THEM HAVE REFRESHER AS WELL. Genuinely nerf Warden and remove Refresher for fucks sake.
