@Yoshi @Valve I did come back for a new years resolution to try this again. I can confirm the matchmaking is still shit and needs to be fixed. Surrender vote would be nice but I guess I can watch a 20 minute stomp get drawn out by the opposing winning team to 50 minutes so far. Fun games slow claps around devs.

Nobody used mic, and after me and Sinclair lost lane Sinclair started throwing the game. Bought magic carpet, flew on top of rooftops to die only, refused to play game or was feeding. Unbelievably miserable way to start 2026.
I wish for harsher punishments for people like this, we don't need them in Deadlock in 2026.

12 mins in 2 kills to 38 kills, they had everything down we had nothing down.
Match maker put all super high ranking players on one team.
Devs have no idea what they are doing, super obvious.

They literally have no idea what they are doing anymore. Deadlock was way better when it had 4 lanes and a center dome. Everything after August of 2024 has really turned the game into a simple shooter. It isn't even a MOBA anymore to be honest.

50030716 like clock work, after a win streak, you get put with actual bots. Teammates don't even know what guardians or walkers are. what a waste of time

This is matchmaking working as intended, not sure why everyone keeps complaining about it. This is how they want the game to be. C'mon! JEEZ.

Phantom/Oracle player, put me in an emissary game. These were the stats 13 mins in and then end game. Really don't know wtf is going on with matchmaking but the game is unbearable. No one is reading this but I really hope there's a better matchmaking system because it's been a month of extremely un-fun lopsided games for me, even when I do my part.

50051539 put with actual initiatives, entire team was learning how to play. don't know what flex slots are, don't know their abilities, and spent the entire game running in circles in the jungle.

50054206 won the last game by mistake, so I get put with EVEN worse teammates, It's so bad they rage and start throwing 5 minutes in. Team was comprised on players throwing and afk bots. Also a few players in the game were known cheaters, but not banned. Despite everyone on my team having an average 3 higher ranks than me, they were ALL significantly worse, bot like. Something is wrong.

(cont.) impossible to get out of a lower rank as matchmaking destroys you.
Here I was playing incredibly well, yet 2 idio** in the lane (haze, lizard) just refused to listen to team tactics and would solo push a lane. I guess I was able to carry the entire match until the end as the other team was clearly better k/d wise

50055925This is the match that made me leave the game. Well done dev team.
Stuck in a lobby that is FOUR ranks where I typically play and forced to carry a team of bots.
This game is DOA.

I was shoved in emissary lobbies the past two games and play between Phantom and Ascendant. Similar team stats.
At least I can play other stuff because I'm finally dropping this game. It will never get any better.
