Bad Matchmaking Thread

50765068 2 party feeders with negative KDA only Bepop and I was actually playing the game
50762905 This Haze was literally win trading with Holliday idk how low do you have to be to win trade at lowest rank that's not the worst part enemy victor was using pain battery using ult either bug or cheating
50704296 The win trader Lash the same Haze know the game but intentionally grief to trade win games

Players with < 20k damage should be on their own game mode because they are not playing the game if their version of play is missing majority of spells, fleeing fights after telling team to play then even lowest initiate given time can get 20k+ damage but if game time is 30 mins+ then they are clearly not fit for playing the game

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

Can we, please, fix matchmaking? It's crazy how someone can play only 7 matches of Deadlock and be put straight into Oracle V.

why is there not a cap on new players. New players should have to play like 200-300 games all together before they can play with vets so they can learn and actually enjoy the game.

Because of smurf accounts. Instead of punishing smurfs, Valve prefers to let them ruin dozens of matches per account, then they make a new account and go again.
 
I'm in oracle half of my teammates said that it was their first time playing their heroes and that they were ranked archon. I don't understand how this was even a fair matchup, our team got 3 kills total and was over 60k souls behind in the end at around 25 minutes. The matchmaking or ranked system needs to be fixed. My last 10ish games have been similar to this as well, where it wasn't necessarily a stomp, but I get put into emissary games as an oracle with my top 5 most played heroes. It just doesn't make sense.

clear example of how smurfs ruin this game, if even a single of those uninitiated ranks is a smurf, its over, game can be thrown in the bin, everyone can go afk while the fat kid with invincibility shield can shoot his infinite bullets of instant death until he gets bored. Sandbox smells of pee and cat shit.

Smurfing == cheating,
In some cases its even worse than that because cheaters will play at higher ranks and possibly against other cheaters, and sometimes cheaters can be punished hard by skilled players.
Meanwhile even a non cheating smurf will RUIN the game for 11 other players.

EVERY
SINGLE
DAY
majority of my games has a smurf in them. I cant remember a day of just having some won or lost games of deadlock, no, its always some duo with a throwaway smurf in a party wreaking havoc on the matchmaker. Fucking wardens with 10 games total (if one can believe tracklock) going 20/0 like a train with no brakes. In case it wasnt clear, thats not fun and I play games to have fun.

I hope you are doing some data magic valve, I hope the "mains" of those who consistently party up with banned/smurfed accounts also get a ban.

seems like this all the time. a couple people on the team do well and the rest have 10+ deaths or just basically dont exist all game. Or they seem so new that they build 4 items. This shouldnt ever happen in ascendant IV.
 
Not an individual match but I have been stomping my games with around a 75ish winrate (60 games, I think, are enough of a sample size). The ranks are a division above mine but I do not rank up consistently and when I lose I generally de-rank. This results in:
- Me ruining peoples matches.
- Unsatisfiying matches
- Me not playing against players of my own skill level and not seeing it.
I cannot believe I am saying this but in this regard League is better.
They skyrocket the smurfs to where they should be and when the account is inevitably sold to some shmuck they put it in losers queue and leave it to die.
This solves smurfs lingering in lower ranks for long and helps regular players get in their respective ranks faster.
Also the Ritualist rank is currently a cesspool of players of differing skill levels, turning the matchmaking into basically russian roulette of which team can get more skilled players.

Edit: My skill rating says I am Archon 1
