Whoa this is beyond ridiculous.

The best part is that these matches are all used for "data-driven scientific balancing of the game", and every month we get these tweaks "X now scales 1.4% instead of 1.2%" based on matches with people who somehow manage to die 11 times in the first 15 minutes. Do you really think either team is even looking at what's happening at that point? No SuRrEnDeR oPtIoN uwu because you they want mOrE dAtA, but asking about the quality of that data is above their paygrades I guess.

Team 1 gets two, S-tier carries. Team 2 gets zero. Team 2 was basically a team of support/melee characters, Team 1 was a very well rounded and balanced team

How in any way / shape / form am I stuck at Alchemist VI and this is supposedly a Arcanist IV match?
What the fuck all is my team doing except feeding? Who is possibly at a higher rank on my team than me? Im a backline damage dealer playing semi-conservatively and I have more damage than any of the idiots on my team?
Who on my team is pulling us up to an Arcanist IV match?
The shortbus ride never ends.

Did some research into all the users, except two who wouldn't show up on the website, on the enemy team through traclock.gg. While I know these websites aren't the most reliable with accurate skill rating, I needed context as to why I was being put into an Oracle 1 game two matches in a row with the first match being in Emissary 3 vs Oracle 1 and the second being in Archon 6 vs Oracle 1. While the second match doesn't seem that bad in comparison to the first, my personal skill rating is Arcanist 5 with my friend duo being Emissary 5, which again, I understand being put into a higher rank, but even for a supposed Oracle 1 average skill rating, my duo claimed that it did not feel like an Oracle 1 match (they've been ranked Oracle previously).
User "la passion", "Ruisu", and "Krillin" are a three stack. While Krillin and Ruisu showed some higher level of play, it was nowhere near as noticeable as la passion. After looking into their account, I've discovered that despite tracklock.gg claiming their average rating is Emissary 6, unlike Ruisu who's supposedly Archon 1 and Krillin who's Alchemist 4, la passion is actually an Eternus 6 player (their last Eternus match was 20 games ago). The reason their average matchmaking looks so low is because as soon as they started duoing with Ruisu (1 day after their last Eternus match) the average matchmaking has been shifting from high rank Archon to low rank Emissary.
This discrepancy is so egregious that for the first time I genuinely wanted to abandon a game. I can forgive it happening once, but twice in a row is so abysmal. I'm still learning the game and understanding itemization. Laning against, and getting stomped by someone who's actually an Eternus player who's playing in low rank because they're playing with friends (whether deliberately lowering their elo or not) does not feel good at all. They knew every abusable spot to ensure tower couldn't hit them while hitting the tower in return. They barely missed shots. Had nearly perfect positioning. It's just not fun.
Please find a way to remedy matchmaking like this. I have no qualms with high ranked players enjoying matches with their friends, but there needs to be at least something to keep an Eternus player from being matched with Archons and Emissarys.

at least 40K soul diff at the end of each game.

there is a clear discrepancy in player skill levels. i noticed that every team tends to have 2-3 players who are lower skill, and the match is decided by whether the high skill ones can carry with their build

Unbalanced matches, in general. One team usually ends up negative and the other positive in stats, a bit unfair, sometimes it feels like poor matchmaking.
For example, in the last game (43144392), a drifter was killing us repeatedly, ending with 23 kills and only 3 deaths... My team all negative and the enemy team all positive, the same old story.

Guy is either blatantly smurfing or straight up hacking
6 games played, won 5/6, always having insane KDA and overall impact
Not to mention his steam friendlist: 4 more accounts w/ 2.5k hours and 0-10 games played almost perfectly

Match was even for a short while and then became a one sided stomp.
Match realistically ended about 30 minutes in, only for Sapphire Flame just to not care for caution while attacking Patron and wiped once.

every other lane more or less instantly gone, then the snowball starts.

Oh wow look another loss.
Observe the Billy feeding the other team then having the nerve to bitch on coms.
Or the 19k damage Moe. Or the Mina who just couldnt be bothered to be where she was supposed to be when she needed to be.
Why am I playing with these intellectually disabled individuals?

this was ridiculous. infernus no idea how to play? just abandons lane. team lost guardian straight away so we get ganked. i am behind on souls because nobody seems to understand how to play and then just constant toxicity.

oh wow look.
Eagle Talon has to keep dying constantly and feeding them - decides to fight in front of our base while they're on their final push and just straight up dies AGAIN.
The Abrahms cant be bothered to not die either.
There is an extremely simple metric to base matchmaking on - if you have double digit deaths you probably dont give a shit about your team and should be just grouped together with a bunch of other people who have intellectual processing issues.
That makes 6 losses in a row I think - and every single one of them is from carrying around deadweight teammates who cant help but die all the time.
and dont for a second tell me I shouldnt be on the internet kid - ive been here far longer than you.

people have bad games. you're just an asshole. all you do on this forum is complain any time people (or you) have a bad match.
if you are genuinely somehow older than me (because you aren't acting like it), then i find it sad how childish and gross you are being.
