Bad Matchmaking Thread

Wonder how many Eternus players have ranked down, and if that is even possible now even if throwing games.

russians whining constantly and doing zero dmg, going 2-13, thanks.

whiny kids, doing no dmg, no impact but constantly complain about everything.
And of course go in willingly into 1v5 not even remotely close to anyone of the team or an objective -.-

Consistently getting couple of bots on my team who don't do anything -

39086917 - lash, yamato, warden
39075813 - vyper, haze
39016757 - mcginnis, viscous

This happened for 3 back-to-back games, not a great matchmaking experience.
 
Matchmaking has always been bad but after this new patch, it is at an all time low. 20+ games of one sided play where I ask the lobby what rank they are and I get the most uneven lobbies. 40+, 50+, 60k+ leads on one side and you can tell the game is over at the 15 min mark but I have to play another 20-25 min just to get stomped. I was Archon 1 before this patch and now I'm Emissary 2 and I've been consistently put in lower lobbies like Ritualist, low Emissary, and even Arcanist. I have tried new champs for few games, but it even happens in my Lash games, where I have 773+ games on him. I do feel like it's trying to de-rank me for some reason, not sure if that's in the matchmaking algo.

the cheater's profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/viperrboss/

Blatant aimbot on Haze since minute 0. Can we just ban anyone who has any kind of ban on their account, whether it's a VAC or game ban?
I'm so sick of people ruining this game for me just because they derive enjoyment from making others suffer. I just want to play in a fair environment.
I haven’t seen a single cheater turn into a frog, and I’ve been playing for a little over a year now.
Valve, please fix.
I was playing exactly vs that same duo, and yes, Haze was cheating very blatantly without even hiding it. Both of them with VAC ban profiles, just vomit inducing.
 
i have around 300 games on my account, and stopped playing in sept 2024. came back for the new patch hype and got stomped 3 games in a row by players that were amazing. guess you dont want me back, sucks. looked promising.

i keep getting teams who actually ignore troopers, feed and do literally less than nothing, i play passive while i watch my teammates kill themselves pointlessly. the ranked system is so broken. i'll try to climb rank and face a lobby full of obscurus players, i'm stuck in initiate 6 meanwhile for some reason they get an archon player every time to hard carry the match. IM TIRED OF HARD CARRYING TO GET OUT OF LOW RANK. IM FUCKING TIRED.
 
Series of matches,

Every time i lose on pocket it ups the rank
20/08- 39064287 - archon

I'm fairly sure i should be in around ritualist for pocket I just can't contribute in fights
 
Ok valve explain this dumb shit right now1755821035907.png
I am a e6 one trick mo krill player and in the previous patch i can get mo krill 100% of the time like no joke i played him for like 600+ matches straight now i can barely get him 2 in a row, when i check statlocker the player that are getting my mo krill are literal oracles and below and again i dont hate them the most confusing part is why can't the matchmaking just find me another game where i can play mo krill? why does it force me to play another hero that i literally haven't played in my entire life, and this is not even a math issue haze has a 90% pick rate while mo has like 40% and with the higher player count it should mean that i have a easier time finding mo krill games but no its the reverse when the player count was literally 13k and below i was having still terrible matchmaking(because eternus matches are rare) but at least i get mo krill everytime but now its that but i dont get mo krill at all, this only started when the big update patch was release so maybe they changed matchmaking to be good for returning players but in the cause of loyal players

This was not a real game. I don’t know why you removed the option to report a “Matchmaking issue,” because that’s exactly what this was. No one went for objectives, comms were constant but useless, and the match was a complete waste of time. I spent 35 minutes on this when I only have time for 2–3 games a day.

It’s always the same pattern: I get 1–2 decent games, then the next matches are terrible and completely one-sided. Nothing can be done.

Please bring back the option to report matchmaking issues. I can’t leave these games without being penalized, so I’m forced to sit through unwinnable matches no matter how much communication, direction, or effort I put in.

Match: 39200566
