Bad Matchmaking Thread

Another day, another terrible matchmaking.

Match ID 41941768
Nobody but me used the mic on the team, seemed like everyone on our team was struggling when they had multiple carries on their team. It felt lop-sided and unwinnable since the start.
 
41942041, as Lady Geist, solo queue

Usually I don't complain about matchmaking but I got put in a match where the enemy team is an entire rank category above my team. Of course we lost. This is the first time this happened to me.
 
I don't know what has happened in last few days but matchmaking right now is impossible.
I'm an initiate 1, getting placed in a match vs ethernus players.
This is simply a joke.
 
And another!

Pocket and Geist went 0-5 IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES!

THAT'S 16K DAMAGE IN 40 MINUTES ON POCKET!

Whatever you broke in the game, fix it now or expect everyone to quit. Bad matchmaking killed the Marvel Rivals fanbase, it will do so to you too.

I literally got the reporting feature banned from my account due to reporting so many griefers and feeders.

Until I read some threads about matchmaking actually working im leaving this game.

Mind checking their Steam profiles? It honestly feels like some of these teammates are actual newbies with barely 20 hours in the game. That would explain why matches feel so unbalanced
upd:I checked their Steam profiles — one has 49 matches and the other 86. So yeah, not complete newbies, but still feels rough in matchmaking.

My entire team was not doing even half the damage that I was able to do with Talon, and in general the enemy team had multiple skilled heroes while it seemed like my entire team was struggling. They were taking our base before we even got their towers. How is this fair?

Thanks man!
I have over 300 hours in this game and a couple of thousand in OW and MR. I recognize players who are out of their depth.

If you die 5 times in 5 minutes you're either intentionally feeding or you are so incredibly far outmatched that you shouldn't be in that game at all. Both are equally terrible for fair matchmaking, especially considering having 2 out of three lanes be equal, while one lane is just running wild with it means that you automatically lose the game, because now they're soo fed that they can more or less one shot you in a dive without counter play. They didn't just throw their lane, they threw yours too.

Atleast Lol solves that with the map being bigger and turrets actually posing a threat which punishes rotational ganks. Here it's just free if they block the turret once.

I don't mind competitive lobbies, I actually enjoy close games and good fights more than anything, but these games are just......random. I've probably have had like 30 games with players on my team who seem to lack fundamentals, while the enemy keep making the right plays.

If they're keeping this MM-system, they need to slow down the games. You can't keep games fast AND have matchmaking that doesn't match players equally.

(41798851) This game the opposing team was a 6 stack (the winning team) - despite my best efforts. Rank averages don't even match up.

(41704970) Another bad game. Opposing team had a 4 stack and a duo. My team had a duo and the rest solos. Once again, performed the best in game, but not enough.

At a certain point these games are just painful, like how does this happen? I get placed into games within less than a minute during peak hours and this is the quality of the matches. If anything I would wait a minute or two longer to at least have a chance at a somewhat fair game. Solo q players like myself should not have to play against full on 6 stacks.

Just checked their Statlocker ratings:

Apparently I had two complete beginners against a Archon 1, and Emissary 6 and a Ritualist 2.

Their total team rank was 145 while ours was 92. Don't think I need to wonder why we lost.
 
Alchemist vs Archon - most likely smurfs or cheats. One team was consistently forcefully disconnected and rejoined all the match, while opponents were not affected whatsoever.

Most of them have <25 matches played.

Match: 41968014
 
And another: 41972345

They had a Phantom 3 and a Archon 3, while our highest was Ritualist 5. Somehow we won. How the match average for this is Arcanist 4 is beyond me.

This is the worst game i have ever had. Grouped with a stack of 5 all using voice mods calling ppl a nigger faggots. Congrats steam. I dont even speak into voice chat let alone text. Honestly no one wants to listen to this crap. Thank god for the mute button. But good for you guys doing nothing about this toxic community. Game is gonna self destruct before it even starts.

i hate feeder and really wish they fix this problem
the pass three dose i hate to just wait for the winning team, who had not feeders teammate, and on my side had three to two player that are Absolutely brain dead feeders. pls devs reset all rank so we down have this problem of seeker 1 feeder in high matches
 
Since monday with my rank being high ritualist in EU I only get placed in lobbies with Oracle+ players present. This renders the game unplayable for me as it would be more beneficial for me to be afk. The only other option is an initiate/alchemist lobby where I am the highest rank, equally unfun. I wish I had the option to wait longer but get people my rank, just like extra competitive.

i'm not super sure where else to share this nor if this is particularly useful but, Deadlock is draining, i'm considered Initiate 1 and getting into games consisting of a bunch of fellow low levels, and just randomly a Ritualist, or Arcanisit. and twice having Oracle players in the same lobby. I know oce is a small region but having someone in the top 500 of the server region placed agianst people that hardly deny in lane is horrible. Even playing with friends in a three stack should excuse this matchmaking.

I'm not copletely sure the formating ya'll want this in but it is the worst thing to having the fun from a game derivied from which team gets the good player and which team has people with less then 10 matches.
