Bad Matchmaking Thread

Absolutely the worst game I've had in Deadlock, which is impressive considering that no other game comes close to being as frequently bad in matchmaking than Dealock. Match ID: 37143551
 
Ever since around the three lane update, matchmaking has been absolutely horrible. In nearly every match there is at least one person who has a 25+ kill streak and is almost unkillable unless the entire team gangs up on them. What's more, after a certain point the soul difference is just completely impossible to combat, so even the weaker players become completely unkillable.

I've been playing Deadlock with my friends pretty much since launch, and we had better and worse days. But these past few months were geniuenly dreadful, with games either being piss easy or impossible to win - mostly the former as you can see. I'm writing this to make it very clear that the state of the matchmaking is ruining the game, and as it stands it just is not fun to play at all.

I know the playerbase is limited so there will always be problems with finding full teams, but please look into the matchmaking system more.

I can agree with this, I don't know what happened but all my games are now plagued with leavers and shitters, wasn't like this till last month
 
So there's a lot of poor mm just based on failure for the system to create a fair match, but one thing I've noticed more and more since about 2 patches ago is that my ping is no longer prioritized. I play NA and even during peak hours I can't find games under 70 ping when before my max ping was maybe 20 even during the times when the playercount was lowering. Really should get fixed because even a small ping difference entirely changes all interactions.
