Bad Matchmaking Thread

Yeah I uninstalled tonight after another four games of 1-2 people doing sub-1000 objective damage and feeding 0-10 or 0-12. It's really awful to play right now if you want to actually try and achieve a rank. Why even implement a rank system if you throw brand new players into the game with archons?

Hope it gets better. Game is so fun when its competitive.

Oh look, another game where a team of Greens and Blues end up against 2 Oracles and an Archon. Genuinely astounded how fucked this matchmaking is. How does the company that runs Dota and CS somehow have such objectively broken matchmaking.

Damn bro and I get banned for showing where people buy steam accounts with deadlock for less than 80 cents but you can say you hope people die IRL and it's fine.

I bet Valve is selling cheats for their games at this point

Image speaks for itself, average rank of teams is arcanist 2 vs ritualist 5. Why a gap this big is even allowed is beyond me. Put me in a longer queue instead of giving me such a hard game please

Has anyone who frequents this forum ever seen a single acknowledgment of the matchmaking system from a Deadlock dev? I feel like posting match id's here is pointless until we get some sort of confirmation that they actually give a shit. I get the game is under development but with nearly 45k daily concurrent players someone from the team should make an attempt to let us know they are working on it.

Nope, guarantee they dont read this. At this point im fairly certain there isnt a dev that even knows how to read. Play long enough and EVERY SINGLE MATCH, is massively lopsided, zero fun, zero point .... "getting data is bullshit", devs are just braindead.

Edit: I shouldn't have to do this. Valve, this is your fucking job. And you clearly aren't doing it right, so now I have to step in. I guess I don't have the ability to clean up your mess, but at the very least, I can point you towards what to do because you guys can't even do that at all, Pathetic.

Possibly the fastest stomp I've seen in 1500h , no leavers on my team - we all got crushed both in lane and defending objectives.

Amusingly , the very next match (with the same party member and similar heroes on the enemy team) was the closest I've ever played , where we won after a tense back and forth leaving our patron with less than 15% hp. This is despite mismatched lobby average ranks , unlike in the stomp.
 
My previous high was Ascendant I, then I took a year break and now I cannot escape Arcanist. I have over 1,000 hours. I play on the NA server. My overall winrate is 54% which was primarily achieved by solo queuing.

My current experience with matchmaking is that unless I play a character that is designed specifically to kill enemy players, and also perform outrageously well - then I will simply not win. Over the past 16 matches I have 4 wins and 12 losses, 8 of those losses are in the screenshots below. In nearly every game I am either the best performing or one of the top three players on my team, and yet that is not enough to have even a 50% winrate over 16 games or more.

My opponents very frequently have players that go 15-3 or something. It is very difficult for me to believe that there are still SEVEN ranks above the peak of player skill that I witness in my games. It feels as if players of EVERY skill are present in my games, and for some reason the worse players are on my team.

Paradoxically, if I happen to luck into a higher skill match, like Emissary or Archon, then I do not seem to perform much worse and actually have a better time overall synergizing with my teammates. My teammates in Arcanist often struggle with simple actions such as maintaining lanes or buying counter items.

I could be completely delusional and bad at the game, but something feels completely off. I simply cannot, while performing well, have above average match results in a rank that seems to represent the bottom 50% of skill.

Hey, @Yoshi , @ZM , GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. OUR ENTIRE TEAM HAD TO DEAL WITH FUCKING LAG SWITCHERS. 44304062 Holy shit, you are so fucking bad at your game development, you can't even get your servers secure to deal with lag switches.

No respect for your team at all at this point. You guys are incapable of even being able to maintain server security such that cheaters with lag switches that experienced no lag and were able to coordinate instantly without any issues just instantly stop any of our late game pushes when we had a chance to come back. Seriously, don't ever fucking touch another game again. You cannot for the life of yourself even call yourselves game developers at this point.
