Bad Matchmaking Thread

...excuse me?

Would be nice if this game had a matchmaking system that would try to put people against other people of similar skill level. Ah well.

Pic 1: (Match ID: 41127618) Team was utterly outclassed in this match. Every lane lost and no comeback at any stage. Despite my efforts to push lanes, farm and get souls up, teammates continued to dive for fights and feed the enemy. Be all means the matchmaking my look correct but these people do not play in way equivalent to their rank. Also pretty sure the Vyper and Infernus were using cheats.
Pic 2: (Match ID: 41063462) The system is literally wrong here. Everyone on Amber Hand is below the average Emissary 3. All but two are above Emissary 3 on Sapphire Flame and the Infernus is Oracle 1. Matchmaking like this should not happen.
Pic 3: (Match ID: 41198883) No explanation needed. Thank you very cool.

Lady Geist said they were ascendant, so I'm not sure why they are in Emissary as they were dominating the game.

Match ID 41141283
Seems like our Drifter was struggling immensely and the enemy team was just steamrolling us.

Match ID 41150604
It was a stomp for us, and very unfair to the enemy team.

Match ID 41153898
We won with 70k soul lead. Was very stompy for our team.

Hey @Yoshi , please fucking make matchmaking based on not only skill, but also CC potential. We cannot win games with character drafts like this:

Give us a surrender button because this is what kills the enjoyment of the game for everyone, only one side having CC and the other side having nothing at all.
 
@Yoshi
I encountered a very toxic pocket who was feeding, Cussing and using racial slurs.
here the match code 41152336

one more thing. If anyone encounters this pocket report them immediately. I do not like when a Rude Low self esteem inbred player talks a lot of crap without leaving the game. I dislike how many toxic players are on this game. I know I curse a lot but I do it under my tongue. That's why if there's a player who is feeding intentionally there needs to be a surrender option after reporting them. As an example if one player feeds and leaves the match the five players from that team can vote to end the match

The Viscous and enemy pocket simply dominated the match. By the looks of it, they seem to be Archons, and they're playing with a mo that's in seeker II. I'm not sure what the MM decided in this one.

Match ID 41162769
Simply a stomp for the enemy team, where my team was struggling immensely and seemed to not play at this level at all. No comms, no nothing, no pings even. Very unfun match and felt like there was no winning at all.

Matchmaking has been immensely awful today so I'm sure there will (unfortunately) be more of this.

Just a stomp for the enemy team, again. Only one who was somewhat performing on our team was Kelvin. Rest were just struggling.

Our team was playing against an incredibly oppressive comp. The entire match we stood basically no chance. Extremely unfun.
 
What is the point of Initiate if players who haven't even played 5 ****ing matches are not placed in that rank? No amount of support spells, or skill can compensate for a player who literally feeds the enemy team in the first minutes of the game and onwards because they don't know any better. In turn making attempts to do anything impossible because the minute you think you can claw something back they feed the enemy team again.
 
Watch the game tank to 10k again. It will wear people out. Only mad people play this nonsense.
Amazing how bad it is. Totally random matches would be more fun than this experience.
None cares if its a test stage, it will leave stigma and the game will suffer.
Pity, it is good but the lack of responsibility towards common players is glaring.
 
5 trash matches in a row, I dunno if people are cheating or smurfing that much but this is unplayable.
Hope bearded virgin streamers are having fun dominating.
 
Hello @Yoshi

So I don't know what is going on with the other regions however Oceania (Or at least the Australian region) is reaching the break point on how bad the matchmaking is.

How do I know? (Other than my own experience.)

I know because its actually coming up in conversation consistently. Weather it be voice or chat people are actually mentioning it. There are generally only 2 things people with chat about (As in non match related communications), Pauselock and new heroes when they come out. For people to be consistently talking about the match making means its become are consistent and meaningful problem.

And just as an aside, Deadlock to my knowledge is supposed to be a team game. The problem with this incredibly inconsistent matchmaking is unless the teams are actually fair then, I and most player are incentivized to play the most degenerate self centered ways imaginable just to hope we can eek out a win. Which is really hard might I add when you play the more team orientated heroes and or builds.
