Bad Matchmaking Thread

match id: 39249274

Just watch the replay and then look at the scoreboard and tell me if some of these people in the lobby shouldn't have their rank adjusted.

yo deadlock dev, how you gonna pair emissary vs oracle and have a geist that is supposedly rank 4th, 5th and 10th, that low in the bracket? 1755886322848.png1755886388029.png

second game, same problem. your games aren't fun after a new update comes out because your matchmaking is so shit @Yoshi fix it man. im so lazy going against high phantoms to eternus players.1755886414343.png1755886459747.png1755886485484.png

griefing geist as usual.

archon vs phantom, amazing job -.-


Amazing how one can know the game will be garbage in the first 30seconds, good job giving me ONLY the already reported ones. As I least I will not even expect a playable match.

This makes no sense anymore. Before these updates I was on a winning streak, but now the game feels broken.


Cheating is a serious issue: auto-parry IS NOT A GAME MECHANIC, it’s an external tool, and more and more players are abusing it along with macros.


BUT THE WORST PROBLEM IS THE MATCHMAKING. How is it possible that in one of my first matches with Kelvin I’m placed against experienced players while MY TEAM IS FULL OF BOTS?


I’ve attached two screenshots to prove it: THERE IS NO BALANCE and something needs to change NOW.

The Holiday was so far off from the other players - had 28 kills, most horrible experience I've had in Deadlock so far.

Would be great to also ask to match with players that have microphones, my team was completely silent, barely any pings too.

It seems like Deadlock does an average of the levels and a "carry" for each team, but that leads to a terrible experience since it feels like it comes down to the skill difference between the carries

Just watch this and tell me what happened here!?!?!?! Lots of different skill levels in my party, but still.

Another one from today, ivy intentionally feeding. Said it on comms and would just run it down and stare at teammates. Oracle average with Eternuses on the other team 1755925552749.png

So many feeders and leavers since last patch. My 2 matches from today. The other team is Oracle and Archon while my team Ritualist, and the trolls always on my team, so fun!

1755937407699.pngEnemy team is 100% not phantom average and why is there 5 eternuses on the other team vs my team. Also 5 of the 6 enemies were on high mmr smurf accounts
 
39340747 - each lane on my team was dominated by enemies, teammates didnt knew what to do (remove 50/50)

39542627 - same as upper one
(didnt want to say that but... REMOVE 50/50!!!)

39627060 - feels like im being matched with phantoms on enemy team when im arc-5

do something with your rank shuffle in mathces. i phantom 5 and pick Geist by first time, i playing around 10 games destroying everything on alchemist average, only time i lost is when i get full stack of 10 hours begginers with absolutly no understanding of the game. even when i play on my mains like abrams, caliko, poket i still get stuck in low rank lobby and have zero fun. putting on 1 team full stack of alchemist with 1 phantom and on other stack of archonts with 1 emmisary its not good matchmaking. let me play with my bros phantoms (my eng can be bad)View attachment 54392
This happens too many times. There's no excuse of not enough players

paradox blatantly cheating on an account with 500 hours, the replay is very amusing, 100% accuracy on carbine, only hits heads, blatant wallhack, etc.
 
dear @Yoshi, im tired bro. why is it after every big patch you have to mess up the matchmaking. there are 41K players right now, you made me find 4 of the same fucking enemies 3 games in a row, and the rank is always 1 whole rank and apart. wtf is wrong with your matchmaking, seriously. I'm so tired of finding lower rank teammates against higher rank enemies. fix your matchmaking, i think that should be the next best improvement ya? instead of new heroes, install new patches of matchmaking where we actually find balanced games! 1755974474526.png
