Their job is to collect information and tell the developers stuff. Yoshi can't magically make the devs do all of the stuff they report.
And while the game is still in EXPERIMENTAL ALPHA, we know how GamersTM are. They will treat it like they are paid pro football players.....No, football players have better sportsmanship, smurfy performance enhancement is done in that sport as well though. But I will say Valve isn't doing a good job with how the game is right now. I agree with you that there is a lot of crap that is busted, and it makes players feel awful. From characters (I don't care what the youtuber's video said), to matchmaking, to items, to players cheating, the slurs I've heard in chat, the leavers, and I've been teabagged like 90 times by now. There are GLARING issues. I heard so many people tell me that they trust Valve to do a good job while they torture players in this alpha. I always wish developers would speak on the many frustrations players deal with over a long period of time in THEIR GAME that THEY make, but they stay quiet. Even when it's Valve and they print money. I wouldn't blame the community manager for this though lol.
k, im getting pretty freaking annoyed now. Like whats the point of playing this game when you constantly get a team that doesnt know what to do beyond laning stage, vs a team that pushes walkers as a team and goes mid boss when immediately when they get 2 or more picks? My team will literally go back to the jungle after we get picks, they dont know what objectives are and they ignore mid boss call. all i get are team mates that like to sit in lane and team fight all fricken game and its pathetic. Been happening as of last sunday, I was ritualist 6 and now im back down to archanist and im down 3 monitors jokes aside im sick of this match making and i dont even want to play this any more. This is just pathetic at this point.43671002
Archon team vs a ritualist team, the match was 23 minute long. Bebop and infernus managed to get a walker down by minute 12 and it just went worse and worse for the enemy team. they managed to take down all the lane guardians and one walker, but we kinda let them get it.

match ID: 43687473, the enemy team's average was like a full rank and a half higher than our collective rank

43492140 , shiv steals my sinners sacrifice, i call him a prick , he tells me to kill myself, calls me an inept dog, etc. then leaves. we win shortly after he stops feeding the enemy team.
43651621 , upon rewatching the replay wondering where the map pressure is, i realize mcginnis and mina are sitting in our jungle the whole time until they full on throw at 30 minutes walking into the enemy base, into 5 players. I'm curious why we're 5 kills ahead at 30 minutes yet still like 15k souls down.
I can't farm faster than the mina and mcginnis who are soaking up the entire jungle and not doing any damage. (oh they're also feeding the sapphire flame kills, i forgot that their deaths outnumber my kills in duplicate)
YET, i am still 3rd in soul count by the end of this game, despite spending much less time farming or fighting than any other player. My damage is among the top on my team, how can i be performing better? all of my matches consist of losses like this, where noone communicates at all, or me micromanaging my team to be able to do ANYTHING on the map. I LOVE DEADLOCK BUT WE NEED A CASUAL OR A LEARNER MODE FOR PLAYERS WHO DONT KNOW THE MAP OR MACRO.
I am taking a break from the game because even though i am improving regardless of wins/losses, the matchmaking is absolutely unplayable, and it's been this way since december. I have a fine win rate, i've tried all of the heroes and my MMR has remained static, at seeker 4, since it was first assigned to me ALLL the way back in november/december 2024. I have done nothing but gain wins since then, but only lost rank.
the extreme variance in rank towards the end is me playing with higher ranked friends (i kept up MORE than fine, my skill level is potentially at or above theirs, especially when i have someone who knows what they're doing for once)
i dipped down near the red in wintrend because my matchmaking was so poor, and i don't play m1 carry heroes so i'm completely at the mercy of the game director's hero/rank draft. It's just not a fair or fun experience for anyone involved, at any skill level, at any time. as much as it seems like the players may be insolent or petulant, we plead for you to hear us on this.
I only write this lengthy yammer in this thread in hopes a dev sees this and has a conversation with the team about what to do, even if they don't do anything for a while. please just let us know that you know that we know that you know there needs to be changes, and they're on the horizon, however far.
Also, rank decay fucking sucks by the way. I can't play 8 matches a day, nor will I, I have better fucking things to do with my time. Let me rank up, please.

It's not even about salt. I won these two games but the other team had no chance at all. For the former match, literally just shift one or two players over. It's not about stacks, I was a solo player, you mean they couldn't have put me on the other team for instance and put the worst player on that side on the left team to balance it out?
2nd game I mean....you just put me in an initiate lobby when I'm not even close to that MMR. My friends watching asked if I was playing against AI

More gigantic landslides.
I'm curious to know if there are any players who have WON games where the matchmaking was unbalanced. A lot of times we tend to think a game is good if we won no matter how bad it was on the other team. But that doesn't mean they were good games either.
