Bad Matchmaking Thread

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help

Its either people having zero kills and a lot of deaths, people struggling to push simple objectives like towers, 100+ of objective damage in some cases even 0, these matches are heavily in Alchemiest. I noticed when I'm higher the worse it gets around Alchemiest 4-6 even in Arcanist 1, there a lot of clueless people playing I witnessed twice how opponents went in our base tried to kill shrines and didnt knew there is an backdoor protection. I hope for the next update gives us an better matchmaking and seperates casual/ranked like it was before the December update last year.

First thing you could do is uhhh Make it so the same ranks play against one another? Is that reeeallly that hard?

Second would be.. if the enemy team is a full stack. Guess what? They can wait for a full stack to play again. Or at least 2 3 stacks...

Is it really that hard? It would be self governing "punishment" or "balancing" for full stacks.

Dont put a full stack against a pub.

Its not rocket science people. Its just giving a shit about your gameplay experience.

Some of these games are so demoralizing. You can tell 2 minutes in that you have no chance of winning.
Playing this game solo is an exercise in futility.

23 minute match, ritualist vs arcanist, half the arcanist team had no kills and less than 10k player damage. they couldnt take down all our lane guardians so they were flex slot less too.
 
3x DUO Ritualist 3/4 ranks vs 6x Solo, whereas 4 are seekers.

Seeker team has two players with 2 death per minute average at 25 minutes, feeding hard.

No balance what-so-ever!

80k soul gap this is becoming a joke


Every single game is like this. 1000s of posts on this thread yet the matchmaking still remains piss poor. Whats even the point of posting these here if you guys dont do anything to fix it? Play 5 games and maybe if youre super lucky one is competitive. Every forum/ Steam discussion page, and discord is flooded with complaints about the matchmaking and yet you work on balance patches new heroes and map updates. Literally none of that matters if the gameplay experience is a miserable drag. Its been like this for a year now and its been noticeably worse since the new heroes were released.

I play a maximum of 5 matches a day, and it’s becoming really frustrating to play this damn game, no matter how much I love it.
There’s an insane skill gap between players many have no idea how to move or just want to ruin the experience for others.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been running into a lot of cheaters or smurfs over the past three days, and I’m starting to lose the motivation to play.
You don’t need more balance patches or new heroes you need to fix your damn matchmaking, because otherwise, in my humble opinion, you’ll lose the entire remaining player base.
