Please, I can't take this much longer. How the hell did I go from ascendant lobbies to damn archon lobbies in a day.... Where it's clear I don't belong and why are my teammates these type of teammates :( Literally nobody using voice chat, going in to die alone, no antiheal, no urn, no mid on time, it's so beyond frustrating.
 
I've been playing Deadlock for a while on one account since release. I stopped playing the game, came back, and have not been able to get out of my initiate rank despite playing good.

I believe the current matchmaking system makes it impossible for you to get out lower ranks as other new players who are put into the "initiate" category are really toxic, dont listen, and dont know how to play. Ill have really good games and shred the enemy team but I'll get a terrible team on my end causing us to lose. From what I've noticed, if you lose that means you're getting dropped lower on the totem pole no matter if you are kicking as*. Not only that, but more often then not you are getting bad teams as opposed to good ones.

I joined with a higher ranking team and was able to hold my own at Emissary levels.

I've added 3 pics below. One has me get 20 kills while my team is so-so, one has me stay positive K/D 9 kills while my team gets destroyed, and one shows me holding my own in emissary levels playing with a group. I believe these pics show a perfect depiction of what I have described above.

I am not coding inclined, but I figure something needs to be done to change how to the matchmaking weighs your skill in order to place you correctly as its rather aggravating having to play with lower tier people who dont know how to play.

In conclusion, I believe the current matchmaking system is broken and needs fixing as I have been able to hold my own in higher tiers playing with other people, as well as playing with people in the same tier as me. The way matchmaking works should also be made public so that people playing dont feel like they are endlessly playing in the same tier.

Thank you for reading

This ones my last one Ill post. I'm sure you get the drift - consecutive losses after the win. Exactly what I meant with getting more bad games then good ones

Why is low prio not sorted by rank?

How is some shit player ever supposed to leave that queue if they are not capable of carrying a lobby? Even as an eternus player its hard as hell to carry these players and I look at the match rank at the end of the game and it's some piss rank I don't even know the name of. Factor in people ACTUALLY griefing or leaving because they have nothing to lose atp it makes it even harder for those players.

Lower the number of wins required and put players with other low prio players of their same rank.

This is some of the most foul character based "matchmaking" I've ever seen in a MOBA.
The team spent the entire round being chain CC'd or ulted on cooldown rotation against a 4 stack.

It's awful being stuck in a 40+ minute match where it's impossible to win solely based around character RNG due to the lack of a draft.

Nobody using voice comms despite having the more competitive option checked, people running in to die 1v6, transphobic McGinnis (even if I'm not trans? lol), people not listening to comms or doing any type of teamwork.

Again, I have no idea why I keep getting put with people like this. Please add harsher penalties to people being actually toxic and please please please get a type of "good behavior" matchmaking prio. I beg you.

[0-10m] lane stage
If my partner (Mo Krill) doesn't care about lane management, doesn't even think about shooting to stop enemies, and just runs around smashing crates, what can I do? Should I manage it alone?

In the end, it was a game where only the opponent got the chance to become stronger.
