Bad Matchmaking Thread

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
I can't get out of low matchmaking. First, I was told I needed to win 3 matches. I won, but I was directed back to low matchmaking. I needed to win 5 matches. I won, but now I need to win 8 matches again. I'm trying to keep up with the updates.

help pls

Another day, another pain.

It just feels pointless to play alone ngl. None of the people on my team communicated, nobody was ever present, the gamesense was way off while enemy team just had superior everything. No amount of trying to save them works.
 
I don't know if Yoshi is reading this section, but will there be a reallocation of ranks, as it was in the fall, or a complete redesign? I returned to the game a year after the ranks first appeared, and now it is simply impossible to play and raise the rank, no matter how many games I win, the system does not raise me below a certain rank and does not lower me. I decided to check on a new account, and in 10 games I managed to beat my main rank. To be honest, it seems to me that the system traps you and does not allow you to go up or down if you haven't played for a long time, or if the hidden MMR numbers are distributed incorrectly. This is definitely not how the rank system worked when they first appeared, when the rank was constantly jumping depending on wins or losses.

An entire medal below. Haze and/or victor cheating. AND my 4 stack of USA players was put on EUW server for some fucking reason, no vpn.

I WAS COMM BANNED for harassing a self-admitted eternus 4 smurf in an arcanist game, but HE CONTINUES TO PLAY WITH NO PUNISHMENT. This game and its moderation is a complete joke.

Last time i see a lot of players with VAC and other bans in steam, they got hidden profile or 40+ hours in game, and what you think? yep, they are playing with aimbot, even dont hide it. Why anti-cheat dont work?
Why for example devs cant pay 5-10 dollars to buy a cheat and look into his code to find what the problem and ban this cheaters? Where is frog button that i saw like half year ago? its like game dont have anti-cheat at all. And its not skill issue or smurf, it 100% cheater, because who can for 1 sec make 50 stacks haze passive? or shiv auto aiming knifes?

team with more cc wins the game
they just focus cc the carries and then snowball the team fight to win the game
i'm gonna uninstall the game for good if aram comes out and it sucks, no point in playing this game when you just lose on bad draft and bad matchmaking

There's thousands of smurfs exactly like this playing every day. Valve doesn't moderate their games. They do not care.

Valve does not care. They don't punish cheaters or smurfs. You either accept that most matches will have a smurf or cheater, or you stop playing.
 
After the mini patch, the MM has significantly worsened. This is the first match I've played with this update, and I found a super angry, over-the-top Haze and a Shiv who finished the match with a score of 40-9, while his teammates, who were definitely premade, all went down.

I reported the Shiv, but I already know you won't do anything.
PS. I invite you to read all the logs.

Haze started being toxic and abusive towards me because they figured out I wasn't a man, decided to go afk-farm the entire game, didn't help when I was being killed in front of them even if they had cooldowns on their dagger and what not. Not only that but the game was just an untter, miserable stomp where our team had less than 10 kills and enemy team closer to 40. These types of games shouldn't even exist. :(

Unfortunately, you do not want cheaters to be aware that their tools are even detectable. You want to probe the den of cheaters not burn it. Cheaters can spoof or buy alts in minutes. Either you develop AI that detects cheater patterns or you dont even start.
