Bad Matchmaking Thread

[oneofthemanydavids]

I found it. I found the worst matched game.

67 to 3 in kills. 90K souls difference. It seemed like the other team was all new. I suspect some people on my team were smurfs but really how the hell would you even tell in this kind of match?

I was Vindicta. I got matched against two significantly weaker players on the lane. Vindicta can snowball too much with her ult in such cases.

every single match on the new patch has been awful MM

Haven't noticed it being mentioned: Please add a surrender option to the current game. It'll save us hours

Had to leave a game because the enemy infernus was hacking and wasn't hiding it, named "pauselock.exe", promoting his hack client on his steam profile etc

instead of punishing him y'all punish the people who leave to stop the damage, great job upgrading the anti cheat, valve!

Had an entire lane on our team going 0-7 and 0-9 for most of the game. One of them ended at 0-11-3, and the other at 3-10-1.
They probably should not have been up at this rank given how egregious the scoreboard became for them. This seems like a very outsized problem for the matchmaking, and given how this game can snowball so hard, it makes the match experience significantly worse for everyone else on their team.

Previously, teams were formed like this: in one team there was 1 very strong player, in the other all levels were more or less. Now the ENTIRE TEAM is formed from such players!!! Are you developers kidding??? When will there be balance in mathmaking? Like everyday you got 1 page on this topic from the start of the year! When we see some changes???

These teams aren't balanced in any fucking universe. One team knows what farming is and abuses gun viscous's downright exploit level damage and of course my team can't do shit aside from Kelvin and me taking actual objectives. Either make mm more strict or make it so that comeback mechanics are better and a casual soul diff is not ruining the game. Also what the fuck how can you look at this NOW EXTREMELY POPULAR viscous build and think "yeah, his gun is properly tuned for the kind of character he is." while Haze still has an absurdly weak gun. Bebop here is also doing ludicrous damage despite dying a ton and not getting very many stacks. It feels like 2024 deadlock. What happened under the hood this patch?

 

[beesh]

Why have you guys not done anything about the garbage matchmaking? It seriously undermines the latest content patch. My latest standard match of deadlock was just a stomp with the other team favored. Why continue to have a ranked mode if the matchmaking is going to be this bad? The Pocket on my team said they they were learning to play their character, meanwhile I have over 500 games on Abrams. Why am I matched with them? In ANY other game this wouldn't happen, but it seems to me you guys aren't doing anything about it. Theres no surrender option, or anything like that. I'm just forced to play 30-40 mins of not fun, unbalanced matches.

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

Every game since just a few days before the patch have been an average team rank way lower than mine. Im Oracle 6 and im consistently getting Emmisary 4 - Archon 3 matches. In December matchmaking would give me matches that lined up within 1-2 ranks of my own but its suddenly not the case anymore.

Paradox is like totally new to the game. Shouldn't be at this rank.

 

[joshbeers999]

Emissary game with a player with no other games in history and another with only 9. I was in a duo and we are emissary 1 and 2.

I had just gotten back into deadlock again after a few months break. and been grinding constantly, but every single match I've been in has either been one sided for me or for the enemy team or its a straight up no diff game with one player becoming server admin stomping the lobby. it's been this way for a long time and it's making it hard to enjoy or even play the game without being demolished into paste by these people. Currently I am ritualist but I was Alchemist even when I was initiate and Seeker the match making was and is still Awful. Please for the love of god fix the matchmaking.

This was horrific. Shiv and Warden are probably mid-high Eternus, while enemies are no higher than Ascendant 1.

Same cheater got in my game again so i had to dodge the game. He is still playing with no shame no bans or anything why not any action taken?

This vyper is known win trader and griefer under shared block list and party with this Mina
AFK entire game <10k damage is
Vyper fed the Bepop the win trading partner

I'm impressed this is the lowest hr account player to be under such list how is that possible and for game not to detect anything have these devs not learnt anything from dota 2
No way this is Arcanist game
This is worse than games when I was Initiate wtf is going on with these players are worse than even the Initiates

I think only invicta and infernus were playing the game but they were worse than the enemies with low kill count and action per minute less ability casting per minute than enemies

52306392
Dynamo was cheating
I couldn't stun even with curse when he was doing the ult
Dynamo has 0 unstoppable

52295905
Enemies managed to stun me through unstoppable half way through makes 0 sense

So do players need to make entire dedicated application like dota plus overwolf just to know when matchmaking is fucking you over or not with shared block list since the devs decided to do this bs
The only reason I think I got this is because of my report ban because of the same issues
Matchmaking knows certain players are trash but they decide to que them with me

So far what I've noticed is that matchmaking will intentionally give me these cheaters or terrible teammates if you get report ban

 

[testingdeadlocks]

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.
