Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID: 36520958

Enemy team had a VERY blatant cheater haze who was nailing headshots from across the map, doing insane damage. Up close, even flying as Ivy, is guaranteed death. When pointed out, the enemy team played coy and said "she's just good at aiming lmao" even though it couldn't be more obvious. At least a few of them had to have been lobbying together.

In the same game I had an Abrams partner in lane who kept rushing into fights even though I was buying items or trying to clear tower. Accused me of not trying to fight when I very clearly was chasing all the way up to tower (Trying not to die). Abandoned lane, kept taking fights he shouldn't, and kept calling the rest of us trash. Also defended the Haze saying she wasn't cheating and we were just bad. Dunno if that's coincidence or not, but this all culminated into what I think genuinely one of the worst games of Deadlock I've played.

This one was the last one on a losing streak of 11 games in a row, over the course of the week. I got all the way up to Emissary III prior to this. Now with this last game I'm all the way back down to Ritualist VI. Nearly all of these games have pitted me with a random assortment of players (some good, some not) against teams that are obviously in a lobby together because they coordinate on a level we can't possibly match. I don't know what the hell is going on with matchmaking but this is genuinely making me want to quit playing the game. I think this might be the single biggest issue with this game currently.

entire team has seemingly no idea how to play. Either they are brand new players or are more bot accounts farming or there is something legitimately wrong with the ranking system.
 
Getting games that are just steamrolled by Calico. She ends on 60k+ while my team struggles to get 40k
This happens pretty much any time there's a Calico on the other side. At average she has 25% more farm than anyone else, which means she completely takes over the midgame.

Meanwhile I'm getting flamed for box farming while my team mates are throwing themselves into the enemy towers. Even if I try to carry it's a coin flip if my team mates have any clue how the game works.

hey @Yoshi. next big update, matchmaking rework ya!? you already did the map, shop, characters. Next is the matchmaking okay! Personally, i think your matchmaking is alright for dogshit standards. for high standards, you guys must be on drugs. How is it that i find the same dogshit teammates and i reported for matchmaking issue, and then you get me in the same game as them the next! of course ritualist vs archon b2b which is 2 ranks apart.

Because of your high class tier matchmaking, you guys helped me lose more braincells than a flying monkey. I have to play Haze everytime because i want to try and win but you keep giving us these dogshit matchmakings. I hope you ban me because im gonna buy 5 accounts and deploy hacks just to ruin your game. :D

he wont fix it, trash matchmakin is a core ideology of valve. they make their games only for 2 types of players: for noobs, to make them win without any efforts (by placing them with stronger players in one team), and for pro-players, who wont play casual solo mm. ive got already 10 games losestreak, cought with those, who are feeding, solo pushing backdoors, making trash builds, dont understand macro in EACH game, and ve made a count: the amount of my losses and victories for the last 1-2 weeks are the same. screen my words, after game will be finally released, nothing will be changed
 
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
Just refer to all my games. The MM system is absolute TRASH. It actually feels completely random, barely checks for rank, total games, W/L and everything else. EVERY game I play is completely mismatched.

The enemy team had 1.5x the souls my team had at the 15-minute mark. We were around 100k, and they were around 150k. This was although we had taken the green guardian down. However, somehow the other lanes managed to lose their walkers around the 12-15 minute mark, even though I managed to keep 2 enemies in the green lane.
 
36546440 - 0 communication from team. Team has no idea what objectives are, multiple players just afk until they aggro on someone and hold w until they die. Maybe actual bot accounts

36547046 - some combined 0-50 deaths on the team. Not even sure how it was humanly possibly for them to die so much, must be bots. Actually, some of these accounts are brand new, explains why they look like they've never touched the game before. Not sure why they are placed near archon.
