Bad Matchmaking Thread

[SardineS]

We don't know what they're doing with initiate ranks but it's theorized new accounts start with a negative mmr to smooth out the new player experience. Plus there's the problem that all we see are the average ranks post game, so there could be bad matchmaking based on averaging mmr that doesnt have anything to do with ranks having "imperceptiple" skill levels but instead the problem is how the vastly different ranks are allowed to be put together. I know whenever I get new players on my team it's because someone queued with them in a party and the game finds a way to average the mmr that way.

Thank you for the even handed responses.

There's no way that a Yamato of that level of play should be in my lobby. ~25k when the rest of the lobby was hovering around 10k, 35 kills at the end of the match, no username displayed so it's impossible to check. I refuse to believe this isn't someone smurfing if it isn't a matchmaking error.

Not an impossibility to check on the player-profiles.

Wow again look at this trash.

Fucking 3/10 mina with 89 obj damage.

Fucking 12k damage Abrahms with 625 obj damage.

Why am I stuck with these shit fucking players constantly?

Can you not weed out who is fucking useless?

I had two unbalanced matches tonight where the enemy team was two full grades ahead of our team. If I play solo, I usually get anywhere between Archon to Phantom matches, but these were duos where I usually get Emissary-Archon with my teammate.

Unbalanced team rankings. Their whole team was superior to ours, especially the Abrams and Mirage in the way they moved.

This match was also unbalanced in basically the same ways as the first. The enemy team had the advantage from the start (except for my lane) and was generally better in every way than our teammates.

i just think that an ivy/paige against a mirage/mcginnis lane assignment Should Not Happen, i know that lane swaps are the solution to lanes like that but i raise that if we can't draft we shouldn't get matchups of two of the weakest laners vs two of the strongest laners

Worst match i ever had. Im european i had a 7 minute wait time for game in the south american server with 200 ping. I still stomped the lobby so the enemy team was far worse. I dont know what happend here but very unfun experiance even when winning. Im not even that high rank emisarry 3.

6 games in a row, all feeders on my team every single time, no shot at winning any of those 6 matches. Whats the fucking point? Now probably one super unbalanced game to win, then another 6+ of forced losses. Devs of this game are absolutely brain dead and unqualified for this.

My entire team was feeding Haze, and by mid-game he was immortal. My team wasn't fulfilling their objectives and just ran around or hid, with Infernus and I doing all the work while the team just kept dying over and over again.

 

[neomarestudio]

Mina and Kelvin didn't know what to do in the first game. Victor was immortal, and no one could stand up to him as he constantly spammed Ethereal Shift with his aura activated.

Dinamo new player, Hollyday just run away, Billy went alone against the enemies and Mina didn't know how to play. Doorman just threw bells and ran away through his doors while the team didn't know who to attack in team fights. If you got close to Doorman, he would throw his ultimate and the whole enemy team would fall on you without anyone helping.

comment on this in discord and out come the kneepads for valve with a lot of tHeY JuSt UpDaTed ThE GaME ThEy aRe FiXinG iT

no, not really aware anyone is doing anything with the feedback in this thread, and if they say they are, they're outright lying based on player experience consistently posted here. i asked the question and got laughed at in their discord and was told i'm the weak link of my team

Discord doesn't take anything seriously. You comment on the game and they just post memes or say “skill issue.”

Initiate 1, in both games (second game was far more egregious) I was paired with players who did not know to prioritize minions/objectives and would often walk away from friendly walkers that were swarmed with minions or abandon enemy walkers which were almost dead in favour of chasing fleeing enemies. I'm an objectively bad player but I should not be matched with people who do not know the basic functions of the game.

Yet another game where all 5 of my teamates play like shit and feed and we face a cordinated discord 6 stack. Finally accepted that you guys wont do shit about matchmaking ill come back and try it next year done wasting my time on this. Battlefield and Arc Raiders coming this month is going to empty out the player base here maybe then youll do something about it but doubful considering theres 410 pages of bad matchmaking posts still NOTHING done to address it.

Wow, a skilled 6-stack vs our 2 3-stacks on my side. Completely stomped. Frustrating and unfun. Game shown below.

Here's what the game sees.

Here's what Statlocker sees.

There seriously needs to be a fix for "first time playing a hero" adjustment. Anyone higher than Archon should have very minimal adjustments to rating when they are on a new hero. Their fundamentals are already rock solid to get past Archon. It felt impossible fighting them.
