Bad Matchmaking Thread

... How you suppose do objective damage on losing team? Why you say nothing about guys with 0 damage? And WHY you even compare his performance with his teammates. Compare it TEAM by TEAM.

I understand what you talking about, but take it wider than numbers. Its not much you can do when your team is losing. Thats how devs balance this games. There are no heroes that can win alone. Plus this matchmaking situation....
Simplified - why im must be tryhard when enemy win without effort?
If the person was out preforming his team by double than there would be an issue, But this guy is simply on par with his team team. If anything the one guy from the enemy team was the only issue, It wasnt a team issue, and he doesnt belong in a higher rank especially with 220 hours played. Im not saying you must try hard but when you have the same scores as your team than it clearly states you are just as good at your team. If they went 12-2 with like 5k objective damage than i would say this guy is screwed and is in elo hell, But this post is nothing but a complaint about losing.

But is it not still valid to report complete stomp games like this?
 
sure if that was the persons main complaint. hes complaining about his team and about him being better than his team. not the enemy team and the match making.
 
The change to matchmaking that happened on 10/10/25 was nothing short of incredible. Like many, I was frustrated with the quality of matches. The rank redistribution brought new life into the game for me. Prior to the 10/10 update, I was mid-high Arcanist rank, and stuck in Alchemist/Arcanist lobbies. I have been playing since summer of 24' and have nearly 900 matches played as of today. I am not an amazing player, but I like to think I understand many aspects of the game. After the 10/10 patch, the game placed me as Emissary IV.
Right away, I noticed a dramatic improvement in the quality of matches. Teammates were communicating more, strategizing lane match ups, itemizing, counter-itemizing, prioritizing key objectives, etc.. From 10/10 to 10/24 I played almost 100 matches. I learned a tremendous amount about how to be a better player and where I need to improve. The complexities and nuance of movement in Deadlock is insane.

During that time, I managed to climb from Emissary IV to Oracle III. Since 10/24, I have fallen to Archon */Oracle I. It is very possible that I have plateaued and this is an appropriate rank for me. My concern is that, after the patch on 10/24, I have seen a big uptick in behaviour that is more consistent with the Alchemist/Arcanist lobbies that I spent so much time in.
I have no evidence to back up my claims other than feelscraft. Is it possible that something happened with matchmaking in the 10/24 patch? Is the game ranking up other players with less overall matches and the current rank distribution is becoming skewed again?
Unrelated.. Can there be an option to turn off playing with pre-made groups if you prefer to play solo?
Could we also get an option within audio that allows for game sound attenuation when teammates are speaking please?
 
Things like this really piss me off, Because you are clearly just upset that you lost this game. By your score and your team You belong in that elo. Im getting sick of people like you clogging up the reports like this and taking away from the actual people that have this issue. Go look at my screen shots and youll see what having bad team mates really looks like and what being better than your team looks like.

You have 185 objective damage and 23k damage, Everyone other than your paradox played a normal game. Youre on calico one of the most fucking broken heroes in this game and youre going 6-5 with her. You belong in this elo and you can stop complaining about your team mates.

these are just from the past few days i have plenty more and much worse from prior id rather not go digging for. Of course im upset i lost the game it ruins my experience and wastes my time when i shouldnt be put in matches with people like that to begin with. two people in different lanes mind you basically fed (1/5 and 1/6 being our carry) and thats difficult to come back from even on characters ones comfortable with, let alone one i have 3 total matches played as. yet i STILL managed to out-perform 4 of my teammates in all but obj damage. better K/D, better player damage, equal to top assists on the team.

one doesnt need to marginally out-perform their teammates stat wise to recognize when someone has little to no game sense. this is OBVIOUSLY awful matchmaking, which the game is known to have. Im getting sick of being stuck with people who cant play. two people damn near fed and you expect me to carry them after theyve snowballed thousands on us bc you think the character is broken? get your head out of your ass

2 Eternus VI smurfs ( Vindicta less than 50 games) dominated the match.
Can you please take in consideration matchmaking around the highest party rank.

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

Duo Queue: as an Alchemist 3 with a Ritualist 1
Team average was Alchemist 6
Our enemy team was average of ORACLE
How is that even possible...

abrams is both smurfing (brand new account, level 1, 1 game owned [deadlock], private profile) and exploiting (split shot + apr + express shot to one-shot anyone who gets shoulder charged). scum behavior
