Bad Matchmaking Thread

These matches were back to back and the shear difference in overall rank was surprising especially because the skill gap and communication on my teams compared to the enemy teams were extremely poor. It felt like I was in initiate lobbies.

The next few games are instances where I feel like the matchmaking algorithm actually did a very good job (not just because we won). I have the more competitive option enabled and it felt like I was getting matched with players that actually wanted to be apart of a team and work together. I was consistently getting good matchmaking from 10/15-10/18 and on 10/20 it felt as if something changed drastically for the worse.

Ok I just need to know: What does the matchmaker base the match average on?
Because I have a hard time believing that 5 out of 6 players being way above the match rank with one player being one step below it equates to the match rank seen here?

I mean their team have 4 oracle players, one archon and one emissary.
39-44-36-48-44-45 = 256 / 6 =42

We have 2 oracle, two archon, one emissary and one ritualist?
41-39-43-31-47-46 = 247 / 6 = 41

average = 41,5 / 6 (number or ranks) = 6,91 = Archon 5 - 6

So my team gets a player that is performing 2 solid tiers lower than expected from the game. Considering that a single player feeding will have a MASSIVE impact on the game, this doesn't seem like a very good system.

e when I say idc if the Q time is 5x longer to find a quality match better to wait a few minutes in Q then suffer through a completely imbalanced game for 45 minutes. You need to address this ASAP. 424 pages on this thread countless discussions on steam and discord all about the piss poor matchmaking and yet you refuse to acknowledge it a

wait for them to take 3 months to publish a new update for that to only be a font change a new champion that is going to be extremely powerful and unnerfed for the next 4 months that they will take to do the same thing

Waisting your time. The devs of this game are completely incompetent and have no idea what they are doing. They are just forcing as close to a 50/50 Win rate as possible, look at the stats of all players. Braindead devs.

Phantom V average rank vs Ascendant I average rank. We lost ofc with 70k soul difference.
Not to mention the Viscous was toxic and sexist on chat, so unbelievably unpleasant game.

started playing on my other steam account for solos only, actually started playing on it around the time of MM update. there is a broader issue going on with my account because I've catapulted to mid-Phantom rank after winning 90%+ of my first games. the pre-placement wins don't concern me, but I am still playing against clearly new players while being almost ascendant rank. doesnt feel satisfying to stomp new players and further inflate the rank.

Until you realize that they viciously assigned certain accounts more loss streaks to create an addictive atmosphere based on psychology to squeeze you dry of money. That kind of predatory behavior is prevalent with Valve games nowadays. That's what they're testing on certain accounts. That's why I have a problem with this game. And I'll do whatever I can to discourage any incoming players from playing this game. So far, at least 10 people have asked what Deadlock is, and I tell them that it's not going to be a good game to get into.

Squeezing me dry of money in a game with nothing to buy yet you gotta get help bro. You're going to regret giving this vibe off later in life. Quit being such a massive jerk.
