I'm ranked 5 levels below the average level of my team (because of consistently poor matchmaking) and I'm out-farming and out-damaging my much higher-ranked teammates who have very little sense of situational awareness or self-preservation. I'm always on the defensive because my teammates are dead a lot. It would be appreciated if a Valve developer gave us any information about matchmaking. How does it actually work? How will it be improved? Maybe players could go back to being ranked for each hero? Maybe rankings could reset regularly again to stop severely misranked players being in the wrong games? I don't know but any kind of feedback from Valve would be appreciated.

within the last 2 weeks, i have had a 6 loss streak, 7 loss streak, and now an 8 loss streak. i love solo queuing in this game! i love how terrible the matchmaking is! i know this sounds like cope, but genuinely 95% of the time i contribute meaningfully and dont feed. but no, there is always a leaver or feeder or the enemy team has smurfs or just shitty matchmaking in general, but shit like this happens. just release this game so people will play it so i dont get matched with people way below or way above me in skill

7v5 experience as the wraith on our team (fittingly named brainless) was clearly extremely new to the game and did not know what the hell they were doing at all

tbf it's a sunday morning and I'm playing in the potato bracket (high arcanist) but still, this was not fun

I (Abrams) was arcanist star while friend (Infernus) was ritualist 4
there's a very obvious lopsidedness to the skill level of each player. The warden, for instance, was wondering around and rarely helping until they were already on the patron while on the enemy side their shiv was the only person to frequently time their parry and dominate the field over their allies.

The team compositions here are a joke. Their team has all the engage and heals in the world and no amount of DPS is going to be able to win this game. First game as shiv didn't feel fun.
