Bad Matchmaking Thread

[herichos]

Oracle player got put in a Seeker/Initiate lobby
Match ID: 39528020



I got put on haze which I don't often play and It felt like smurfing, this was not very enjoyable on my part.
Obviously this game was a stomp making it un-fun for the enemy team and my teammates
I'm not sure if this is fixable as this is SEA servers very late at night.

The game doesn't want you to win (I won two games in a row), so it turned out that I was the only one on the team who got a positive KD.

@Yoshi do you still look at this thread? 3 full ranks difference in average rank - we didn't stand a single chance. it is somehow worse than it used to be 39540466

I'm new, friend is new. Some 50k soul difference it felt so unfun to play... Unsure if its a comp issue or skill disparity

 

[yoApolloboy]

Queued with some buddies. Our average rank is emissary ish? Highest ranking is Archon... It put us against an Eternus player and Oracle and Phantom players...

This match just shows why this game's balancing is a crapshoot

Honestly at this point ,you can't even get good data when it's so biased

I don't really think the match IDs will help. I think you need to see the skill level and pair them up with something adequately. Games are worse now with matchmaking than when I started playing on release. I'm not too sure what has happened but it would be good to have like some low skill players with some high skill players rather than high skill players stomping low skill players. I feel like I just wasted my last 3 matches and had no joy in coming back to this poor matchmaking...

Thank you Yoshi.

Infernus Mina Subhuman scum, I think Mina duo with Warden.

Why would you matchmake with this kind of discrepancy.

Since the game reached 50k players and the latest major update, the matchmaking system has been acting inconsistently. It often places us against players significantly below or above our rank, rather than matching us with players of a similar skill level.

We kindly request either a rank reset or a fix to restore fair matchmaking.

 

[back_biter+deadlock]

Thank you Yoshi for this wonderful game.

Why do I get games in this bracket? It's unwinnable. I literally only get subhuman fucking scum.

 

[Samosvalovich]

KEEP BALANCING SUBHUMANS @Yoshi KEEP BALANCING THEM FROM UTTER DEEPTH OF RANKED MATCHMAKING SO MY GAMETEST GONNA BEUNLPAYBLE AFTER ONE DECENTLY PLAYED GAME

 

[back_biter+deadlock]

Thank you for this wonderful game Yoshi.

I remember playing with that haze before, and I remember it was in a very different ending screen rank back then (alchemist? vs Emissary now) so I'm thinking it's something wrong in this match based on that.

Edit: Back-to-back, multiple matches. , back to back: 39618679
Similar story. Own team seemed to be at a major disadvantage entire match.

Infernus seems to either throw or simply does NOT belong in this rank. Game ended with no chance to come back due to this.

Another one.... Match ID 39627962.
It just feels like the game was unwinnable from the start. Nobody communicating, everyone severely behind in souls and kills than every other person; I have no idea what MM is doing but it simply feels unfair and unbelievably bad to play the games today; they've just been stomps where my side has lost.

Misplaced Bebop. Seems to not belong in this rank, was struggling greatly with every objective and teamfight and simply did not seem like they were supposed to play in our game, but probably a few ranks lower (initiate?). Seemed new based on movement and everything.

match was going for an hour. I had just dying teammates. I felt that my souls left the body. Im salty, not happy and just wanted to leave.
my teammates had for over 15min no kills and as soon as the lategame arrived 30min everyone got their best builds, but then it was just a forth and back who gets to secure the enemy shrine back first. A match like this makes me stop for the day or a week to play this game. My souls left my body, i had no fun.

 

[Matt_Sequel]

Matchmaking still absolutely atrocious.

How on earth is this meant to be balanced?

Bebop is Seeker (calibrating). Doorman is Alchemist (calibrating). Kelvin is Rit 5. Yamato and Billy? Phantom 4. Shiv? A lowly Ascendant 2. You know, the rank tier below fucking Eternus...

Against me - Rit 5, Mina Emissary 6, Infernus Archon 3 (calibrating), Lash Oracle 4, Haze Rit 3, Seven Emissary 4.

Stop using rank average to cobble together a team and rework your system please. The matches tonight have been fucking shocking. People are swapping lanes into insanely high ranked players because they're not expecting the system to be so rigged.

354 pages of feedback and not a single bit of Valve communication is woeful. Please, do better! You'd get reported for griefing if your gameplay was as bad as matchmaking.

Should explain it all. That's.... a huge gap between the skills.
