Main account and alt account difference and boring matchmaking.​

Before my post i have to say i m not a smurf. My total game time is 170 hours.

So this is my 3rd week in this game.

Watched guides, learned characters, skills, objectives etc.

So i always thinking what can i do more to win.

Because almost %80 games i have to look 3 lanes every minute.

I know it's not my fault to losing games. So first time after 170 hours, i tried to play with fresh account for "1" day.

It's my 3rd week i m not a smurf.

Guess what ?

My rank is higher than my main account like 17x.

I play the same style with this new account like my main.

Killing, making highest golds, doing objectives, winning my lane, gangking, positive kd every game.

I matchmake with mid high ranks. Proof: 3rd screenshot.

If i wanna try to rank up with my main, i have to win 2 or 3 times "in a row" to rank up just once.
And every game other players are higher rank than me.

If i lose 1 game i m dropping ranks.

So what's the problem with this matchmaking and rank system ?

When i matchmake with high ranks "than me" on my main. Can't rank up once when i win.

"I have to win 3 times in a row."

I know it's not full game. But something is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge broken.

I'm 4x apex predator 10x 20k+ master , 5x old overwatch 2 top 500, top 20 the finals, top 1 naraka, 8kd battlefield, Immo3 valorant.

I know how to play shooter games, I know i m not belong to low ranks in this game and i know i m not belong to eternus rank in this game aswell.

But 17x difference is just crazy, for only 170 hours game time for a comp game.

But every game on my main i m against higher ranks than me. Still can t rank up, but when lose a single game dropping rank.
First picture is my main with total 170 hours game time. I'm matchmaking with higher than arcanist players. But i can't rank up when i win. Second SS is just 1 day.

So question is, am i good or not ? The game says both. This causes the players to get bored.

Again i m not a smurf. But i m a good shooter player.

I spent a total of 170 hours for deadlock. This play time nothing for comp games.


And before someone says it's your first matches that's why u r higher. Example 1 match.

They must be have some IP detector. Because i played against same mid-high ranks on my new account.

One of the worst skill disparities I've ever experienced in this game. 2 kills vs 27 kills by end game.

Infernus and Vyper were definitely not supposed to be in our rank

Three games in a row where this shit happens. Lose the game in 30 minutes or less, no walkers taken, absolute fucking stomps. All from today. I'm going to post this in bad matchmaking as well because what the fuck were these games. We need drastic balance changes and matchmaking fixes IMMEDIATELY.

50640884 after a win streak i get stuck with brain dead bots. Most of them don't even know what dashing is...

50645744 got stuck with bots again, most of them were just walking into walls and shooting at the floor. Watched them miss 95% of their bullets on 2 people standing still. most look to be brand new. I have no idea how this is an oracle game...

Guys stop playing this game, its the only way to teach devs. IT IS THE ONLY MOVE. (I am not playing asc6)

I always amazed like how often small fix updates are coming up, but after recent patch matchmaking turned into garbage. Every game feels like we just 10-11 (seeker-arcanist) and 1-2 eternuses. And which team has that "good" player wins. Hope devs fix this soon or i'll have to quit playing this game. Cus i don't have fun playing games where the result decided by matchmaking

Not cheating, just why better gaming chair. "I've never seen a cheater in deadlock, and I have over 2k hours." - Deadlock general community response.

 

[cool_slowbro]

valve, your system is a joke and whatever you're stubbornly doing isn't working. i give up on this thread too, im quite confident nothing will fix this until there's enough players to drown out smurfing/hacking. if MM isn't getting sorted in alpha then what hope do we have in beta/closer to release?

this notion that a loss is a loss has no place in modern gaming but what do i know. now ill have to go play out of my mind for a hard earned win only to get another game like this.

I gotta say after starting to play in Ascendant lobbies the quality has taken a big turn for the worse. Not only are the games more often stomps, really bad stomps and lots of players are very toxic. Was more fun in Archon tbh. I'm also surprised to see how many people have 500 games or less and way too many have less than 50% WR overall. Second highest ranking in the game and you don't even need 50% WR...?
