Bad Matchmaking Thread

41263109

I am not an archon player, which means you must be matching us with some insane players to pull that average that far up. Please fix this shit man.

At some point we as a playerbase are going to need to get more vocal than this thread if we want it to change. They very obviously have written it all off as baseless complaints and dont even read it.

Either the enemy team was on steroids and way above our level of gameplay (especially Vindicta, Mina, Lash) or the matchmaking was messed up again. Just a stomp for the enemy team, once again.

I'm just gonna copy/paste because it's the same ol shit:

Furthermore, Bebop was very obviously trying to derank.

And to further iterate:

Enemy team had multiple people who seemed to know what they were doing while the people on my own team seemed absolutely clueless and struggling with everything. No comms, seemed extremely disorganized and often times when I was spectating seemed like enemy team had superior movement, aim and everything while own team played on a very lower level.

Even with the option on that I prefer it more competitively where people would use their mics, absolutely NOBODY but me used their mic and again, we had our team under-preforming severely with our DPS being steamrolled and the enemy team having extremely strong players. Not to mention around the 24min mark our Billy decided to go AFK, when the game was still winnable mind you, in spawn to only run up against a wall. This game makes me feel like I want to cry sometimes, matchmaking has been absolutely HORRID as of late.

Once again, same bloody story. Enemy team just steamrolling and there's not a single chance to even come back from this. Own team severely underperforming, especially mcginnes, while everyone on the enemy team are strong.

A stomp for us, a devastating loss for the enemy team. Again, rather unfair MM.

I wouldn’t complain about balance yet - characters, items, even matches... whatever.
But since this thread exists, and this matchmaking feels so wrong...

Left team is just a bunch of solos, even with a total newbie (like 15 games).
Right team had a TRIO and players with 100+ games.
If that’s supposed to be “matchmaking” then it’s broken as hell,. Maybe fix it?

It has been getting worse over the last 3-4 months, its obvious at this point the devs are incompetent.

1757191212874.pngThis is a low priority match. I got stuck in low priority because I smashed and broke my monitor during a previous bad match. Two of the players on the enemy team deliberately paused the match and temporarily broke the game at the last ten seconds in order to waste our time. Both were reported for griefing. I also heavily suspect they were cheating.

Here are their steam profile links:


 
Hello there,

I think there is an issue with smurf detection. I'm a new player with less than 60 hours played, but I am not smurfing.

I was in Alchemist II lobbies, and I was invited to play with some friends that are more new to the game than me (they were initiates).

In that session we won 8 games and lost 4. Immediately after that session, I played another but instead playing alone. To my surprise I was placed in a Ritualist II lobby. I checked my rating and it was Ritualist V. My current score after that session is 12 losses and 5 wins, 1 of them because the enemy team had a disconnected player. In very few of these games have I been able to perform against these player that are significantly more experienced and skilled than me.

Picture 1: last game before playing with my initiate friends (playing alone)

Picture 2: first game after playing with my initiate friends (playing alone)

I would post the match ids of all the games, but I think it's better to post my profile in tracklock the match history can be seen easier:

PD: I really love the game, but this experience is very frustrating for me to play. If I have to play 16 games like this, I would rather wait for a patch to fix this issue. I would appreciate a skill rating reset for my account or other solution, but I understand that is very unlikely.

Thank you.
 
Stop putting me against full stacks. This game was 5 stacked opponents, and it’s not the first time—it happens too often. If I solo queue, I should only face solos or at most duos. Playing against full stacks is completely unwinnable. Fix your matchmaker.

Me (Haze) being pretty much the only one pushing / shoving lanes and preventing backdoors 99% of the times while rest of the team is kill-chasing as a deathball on the other side of the map and failing at it being instantly wiped out far too many times.

Numerous times under-levelled kill-chasers simply refused to kill troopers to begin with by rushing past them and then repeatedly feeding themselves to the full-health opponents;
you can guess who these were due to them having almost twenty (20) deaths.
