Bad Matchmaking Thread

The ranks of these players was absolutely all over the place. For an Arcanist lobby, there was an archon, an oracle, and an ASCENDANT abrams who went 30/3/7. What gives? That's not matchmaking, it's sealclubbing.

Smurfs, hackers, boosting. These are all standard Valve requirements for any of their games.

Horribly onesided, not sure if smurfs or partyqueue being the issue

very fun, balanced and enjoyable matchmaking going up against three cheaters on new account. Vindicta having a very fresh game ban as well. I have to give this game a 9/10 based on the fairness of this lobby. Good job, keep this up please, been a while since ive had this much fun.

Valve does not care. You either accept that most matches will have at least one cheater or smurf, or decide your time is worth more than a shitty experience.

My rank is Alchemist 1. After my match, I checked Statlocker to see the ranks of the other players. (Yes, Statlocker doesn't show the actual ranks, but I had no other choice to analyze the match.)

3 of the opposing players were Seeker (quite normal), 2 was Arcanist, and only 1 was Initiate 4. (I don't think that's normal, but it's tolerable.)

In our team, the situation was this: 3 Seekers (quite normal) and 2 Initiate 1s. This already creates a huge imbalance, but things get even funnier when you look at the account of one of the Initiate 1 players.

This user abandoned 2 of their last 7 matches! Why does Valve, which puts me in the low-priority queue when I abandon a match, not only doesn't put this guy in the low-priority queue, but they even put him in my match? I think this match was a real disaster in terms of matchmaking.

The problem in this match is that my team has people who completely new to the game and literally only played 3 games. I have 300 hours of playtime, mind you. Why am I being played against someone who has only played 3 games and has a KDA of 0/18/5, ruining my game?

Game ranked as Emissary 2, 20 minute game, 60k souls up and my team was full of randoms. Opposite team played like they were fairly new.

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

This morning, I played four matches with the same 2-3 people. I got crushed and lost. I have no connection to them. So, the matchmaking system keeps giving me the same opposing team. Then I played 2-3 matches with my friend. He was a high-ranked player, and I played in his Archon tier. Then I continued playing on my own. Look, the ritual match that ended my 7-game losing streak was the match in the lowest-ranked tier. For heaven's sake, why was I matched with a match in the lowest-ranked tier?

51037384 stuck with retarded bots speed rushing 30 deaths, unfun. Looks like after a win streak you are put with initiates

The game had a first time Doorman who didn't know what to do and therefore failed every trade against Mina. But it also had a Shiv / Lash laning against Haze / Drifter that apparently couldn't do anything.
I asked them if it was their first time as well they just said "No they are just better than us".

No matter how better Haze was, they still fed her with 8 kills by 10/15 mins so they clearly didn't choose to farm boxes or jungle to compensate and chose to keep fighting, it's obvious since Lash would rush into a fights with no awareness of his nearby teammates or the difference in items.

I've never had a game that felt so inted.

Another game same day where we fought a team that was apparently outranking us by just a few division, but it felt like we where stomping Seeker at some point.
Didn't really feel fair for the Sapphire team at all.

Wow, the community is complaining about the game, but you guys aren't updating the game. I'm finding people who don't even know the basics of MOBAs.
Between smurfs and all these people, your game is becoming unplayable. Please continue with this shit.

It's been about 5-6 games in a row for these people.

Try splitting the feeders and bad players between both teams, I think this should provide a more equitable match.

This is so frustrating to play. I cannot honestly tell you when I last had an even match. One that wasn't obviously one sided.

 

[omgitzface]

51081623 stuck wiith brain dead bots dying 20 times in under 10 minutes and then raging the rest of the game. unfun and a waste of time with these retards. You should not be forced to play with initiates after win streaks

what the actual heck. why am i in a seeker lobby? im ritualist/emissary..

everyone on their team seemed brand new and everyone on our team seemed like vets. This was probably super fun for them.
