Bad Matchmaking Thread

I am typically floating between Ascendant and Phantom. Why am I in an Emissary lobby?

How can this be fun for the duo going a collective 0-26 or their teammates?

Inexcusable matchmaking.

My team died 10 times in the first 5 minutes. The other team was obviously stuffed full of smurfs.

It's clear that people have figured out how to exploit the matchmaking and absolutely nothing is being done about it. Most games are completely miserable stomps filled with obviously new players against obvious smurfs; often cheaters.

Playing this game is now an absolutely miserable experience.

First match and the last match I play today. Complete and utter blowout. Multiple lanes went 1-5, it was pretty clear 15 minutes in that we were not going to win at all. We couldn't even jungle without getting killed by abrams and haze. We spent the last half of the game in our base for the most part

Getting on just to have 30 minutes of pure misery makes me want to uninstall. You can not sustain a game that feels horrible to lose in, we live in an age where everyone has other live service games they can play instead.

Yeah. At this point, I don't know what to say anymore. As much as I love this game, it's evident that matchmaking is completely broken. I'm an Obscurus player with 3 wins and 13 losses, and even in low ELOs, there's always smurfs and people new to the game all at the same time. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

not gonna post all games but I lost 7 games in a row because of games like this, I am not blaming the teammates its matchmakings fault completely. I dont think this game is playable at this state.

sincerely, fuck you valve
 
yo @Yoshi great matchmaking search man. amazing stuff. Archon star vs Ascendant 1. Thank you for a great post christmas game. You really nailed it. Let me put into perspective on how this game went when the team's average is down 2 and a half. down 8k in 8 mins. that's 25% networth down. doesn't matter anyway cause you couldn't give 2 fucks

So, I got put with multiple teammates who were underperforming severely, whereas the enemy team had a mina that single-handedly won the game.

Mina is so stupidly broken it's unbelievable. There is no chance in hell a mina should just be able to out-damage everyone despite multiple slowing hexes, curses, everything. The stamina regen and constant healing is just unbelieveably unbalanced. Awful match experience.

Feels just blatantly awful to play this game sometimes. No matter how hard you try, there's absolutely 0 damage you do, your teammates lose their lane and then yours gets steamrolled, so you try to catch up but there's just nothing you can do when there's constant damn pressure on you and/or the enemy team is just so far ahead. + toxic teammates who flame and what not.

Same thing in the game before. Just blatantly painful to play the game when no matter what you do, it doesn't make a difference and then you just get flamed.
