Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID: 45016107

Played as McGinnis this game. Lanemate Vindicta was a complete newbie. Checked their profile and saw they only have 20 hours in this game
 
Kelvin and his lightning bolt are disgusting. He has a lot of mobility and damage, and you couldn't reach him unless you threw a dome or escaped when he was alone. His spiritual damage is absurd, and combined with Mina, it's honestly incomprehensible how he keeps pairing up teams.

Me and McGinnis are winning lane handily until she decides to just leave right before a massive opportunity to kill tower. No comm or warning of any kind. Just gone. As a result I lose the 1v2, lose the lane, the entire game falls apart because I'm not able to farm or roam to help struggling lanes. Players like this McGinnis should not be in Emissary-average lobbies. I don't know if it was intentional grief (I was extremely kind to her, helped her secure kills, commed, told her good job, I even APOLOGIZED for failing to comm a Lash slam I saw coming. I don't know how I could have given her any inclination of throwing!) or just a lack of game knowledge but this matchmaking is completely unacceptable. I get one to two games a day, and both in this case were badly thrown by bad teammates (first was so bad a teammate instantly abandoned and so I don't even have its ID!) Something MUST BE DONE.

I was Oracle before I was deranked due to inactivity and now I'm Emissary III after playing a bit. I continue to get games that feel impossible to win like this.

3 players on my team just held W and died at all points of the game. The other team had 3 players who also had no clue what they were doing, but the other 3 were competent.

I can't climb on this account, so I made another one to see where I end up after Obscurus. Straight to Oracle II. Something feels very, very broken for decayed accounts and matchmaking.
 
This isn't a specific match problem, just an in general issue with per hero mmr. Of my 44 games on viscous i have only won 9. I really like his kit but it's so hard to enjoy or learn when I'm getting thrashed every game on him.
 
Played with a friend recently on Deadlock and I saw our McGinnis was non-stop feeding. Honestly it was getting to a point where I was being a bit rude to them. Once we finished the game I decided to look into the account to see what was going on. I checked their steam profile. THEY HAD LITERALLY 3 HOURS IN THE GAME. WHY ARE WE PAIRED WITH A LITERAL NEWBIE??????????? I know that the skill distribution got shuffled around recently, but why in gods name is a newbie suddenly put in this type of match. Maybe it has to do with me being Ritualist V while my friend was still in Initiate 2 for some reason, but that is so jarring.

100k difference in souls, I think some of my team-mates weren't ranked properly as well as two people on the enemy team not being ranked high enough
