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
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.

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. 1769390158233.png1769390257666.png 1769389835638.png

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

Dynamo was cheating
I couldn't stun even with curse when he was doing the ult
Dynamo has 0 unstoppable
1769394005168.png
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

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.

my steam link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199670780612/

help pls
Just make new account that's what Valve metrics wants new players

My alt account is better than this account

I had to make alt because of the bs matchmaking, games and players I meet so I conclude it to be shadow banned

Just a total stomp, which is surprising given the apparent "average ranks" of each team, but obviously that still doesn't really mean anything. I think a big issue is switching lanes before the game starts which "unbalances" the lanes. Lash died three times while laning, and I died a few times while trying to hold it down. Couldn't really set up and just ended up waiting to spawn for the whole match because I would always die while trying to defend a walker or farming.

I was excited to see what changes were done to the matchmaker in this "major update", but apparently nothing has changed. So disappointing to only see new graphics and no matchmaking changes but whatever, I don't think anything will change since this thread is so goddamn long with apparently zero input. I suspect it's just a way to let people vent the annoyance of a shitty match so you can attempt to keep the numbers up.

Patch in general has been really terrible for me matchmaking wise, I've won one regular game since the patch and it was one where everyone left. most of the games have been complete rolls, including all the street brawls I have played, in which two I won, right after the patch released, two steam rolls. This match in particular felt really awful, one completely new player, did not feel at all like I or my team mates could do anything. I really enjoy the patch, but its extremely hard to feel motivated to play when I feel like it's impossible to win.

This match was also pretty bad, I felt like I was much better than the rest of my team but the enemy team was much better than any of us. Felt like the last match I had a shot at winning since the patch released which doesn't feel great.
 
nah, fuck you @Yoshi and your dogshit matchmaking. im back in another day with this absolute ass of a team. their dynamo was so good but fuck my lash was so ass what the fuck is wrong with your horrible ass matchmaking system. get a fucking grip. 6L 2W in your fucking new horrible stinky dogshit patch. Fucking acknowledge your matchmaking is shit
why the fuck is there an eternus player in a phantom lobby. seriously, fix your matchmaking or display everyone's rank and not team average 1769410931565.png

ive reported so many smurfs that im suspended from reporting. so here we go a huge list of match ID's that I think are issues.

You need to understand that Valve does not care. They earn billions of dollars of profit every year. They only use bots and volunteers to moderate the official discord. That's how cheap they are in regards to moderation.

Valve does not punish smurfs. Valve does not have good anticheat in any game they have ever made. Valve does not moderate any game they have ever made. They simply do not care.
