Bad Matchmaking Thread

They had multiple carries on their team while our team was struggling to even do the objectives. They steamrolled our base before we had their walkers. Not fun.

Match ID 41866769
The enemy team had a player claiming to be Eternus (seemed to be Phantom V), many of their team seemed to play on a very high level. BUT they also had 4 support, 2 DPS which was a very weird MM.

I have no idea what you did to matchmaking but I've had like 10 games with team mates that are clearly extremely confused and don't know the basics while the enemy team have pretty good coordination.
Even more frustrating that I win lane almost every time, then proceed to get absolutely stomped by someone from a different lane who is now 4-0 in the first 8 minutes.
No clue whats happening in the background but having 10 games with a 40k+ difference must be statistically impossible. The lowest of the ones listed is a 35k diff, while the biggest is around 60k with totals between 150-280k. The worst one is a 22 min game with a 52k diff, meaning almost 50% advantage for the enemy.
You either lose immediately because they can simply walk into your base while you are completely useless, or they hold you hostage for another 10 minutes.

For some reason checking the "higher competitive integrity" made it even worse.

I get that you're pushing for "faster games" but getting stomped is just frustrating, while stomping is completely unsatisfactory. Was looking forward to playing more after my vacation, but I'll probably swap games again until you figure this out.

An absolute trainwreck with a warden at 30k 15 minutes in. Our Yamato managed 10k in that time. This was with Extra competitive turned on

At this point I'm just giving up and wait for the open beta. The match quality is so bad and at this point I'm just so annoyed that I need to always push other tower + walkers and die to even try to get an win in the end we get stomped I had maybe 3 really good matches where communication was there. These matches are always 24/7 farming jungle not looking at the map pining does help since these people don't even know the basics of this game and I'm just asking myself why on earth are they in these ranks. Once I reached Arcanist I thought this will be a bit better with the match quality nope it gets worse. I ragequit one game right now since I can't play this. Last year I had way better matches which where 50/50 win/loss but now it is just horrible. I really enjoy the game but not with these people in these ranks

41881258 match code. There's two problems here I really wish they fixed
First off the victor was feeding very intentionally
Second thing Is the Smurf account needs to be settled.
They really need to add a full on surrender option that comes up on a report. Here's through your samples.
If someone is feeding and their skill level is that bad. You can report them, make them go down to the right skill level , And you have a vote of 5 To concede the match. The reason why I say 5 is the person who is reported will not get a vote
Second Is someone leaving at the last second of the match. If someone leaves the match at the exact time, They will get a harder penalty on them. They can only play in bot matches.
The last and final one is very simple. If someone leaves Under the 20 minute mark, The team who that player is on can vote to end the match and make it into no one wins no one loses

I don't know what else i could've done. Also, how is one team Arcanist 2 and 3, but the individual ranks show larger rank gaps. It seems more that the game is prioritizing groups and setting up clear unbalanced teams. I waited less than 2 minutes to find this game. If we want people to keep testing the game, you'll want them to KEEP playing the game. Poor matchmaking=less time on the game. One team had a +34 wins and the other had a -20 wins, so we know matchmaking isn't by performance.

Test is ongoing, you hate the matchmaker but you willingly continue to suffer. Addiction or stupidity.

A test that we would actively discouraged any interested people in playing the game. Word of mouth can spread pretty fast with social media nowadays.

There's a reason why it's not a thing in this one: Because Deadlock is better than other MOBAs.

while this is true draft would fix alot

HEY so why am I being matched with people who just installed the game? and why are they being matched with people who having been playing for more than 6 months?

Infernus afk farm into auto win. "Just don't let me farm bro", says the guy with infinite fucking move speed and being impossible to stop farming since the characters that can react will gut themselves just trying to stop the farm. I'm going to assume everyone that says this is brain damaged. Maybe if you gut the afk farm strat they might be remotely balanced.

Also the rest were apparently just better so idk. Clown react all you want but Seven/Infernus are basically gods at this level and need to either have the afk farm be completely gutted so they can't be carried into Phantom or gut the characters. I'll take both.

I understand this "game" is in a "playtest" but you would think the devs would be smarter to realize that by adding insanely sick new characters it would add an influx of players. which would make the matchmaking turn to shit. for the past 3 weeks i cannot remember the last time i had an actual fun match, its stomp on my side or stomp on the enemy side. its disgusting. i don't know what kind of issues are going on in the dev team but reach out if u need someone to actually give you an idea how to run your matchmaking because whatever you're doing now isn't it.
its almost as bad as matchmaking on every other game, and I've quit every other game because of it and many others have to. it is genuinely not that difficult to create the most middle ground matchmaking system if you'd just look into that instead of adding glarbo the terrorizer as a new character. how can we playtest" what we have if we just get vs people already sweating on the game.

Either the drifter and calico were smurfs or the vyper and bebop should have been players with way lower ranks, this didn't make any sense

Just sort of a one-sided stomp with bad-spirited enemy gamers. This was my first time playing Lash, so it was a bit harsh getting matched up against an experienced team.

One of the worst stomps I've been on the receiving end on in a while, game lasted ~25 minutes. My team didn't even get a kill in the first 10.

 

[viperjose]

worse matchmaking in the history of matchmaking just remove ranks add all into some random pot and play.

 

[KahiLuaKolu]

there really needs to be a forfeit button so i don't waste another 35 minutes getting dck stomped

One of the most unfun games ive had the pleasure of playing. Could tell there was a massive skill gap
