Two players on my team started playing yesterday and had under 6 games game played total, and a third started playing again after not playing for a year. Complete stomp. I have 1k hours in game, why am I playing with them?

@Yoshi
Please fix the smurf problem in this game. It's driving people to quit your game.

I just finished playing a match where our team spent the whole game arguing with each other on who's fault it was for losing the game. Of course we lost, the yamato on the other team is an ETERNUS 4 SMURF.

They don't just have one smurf account, THEY HAVE 5 SMURF ACCOUNTS AND THEY AREN'T BANNED
The Haze in my match who duo queued with them has them all under their play history

So there is a lot more games like this I feel like, I am currently moving between archon and oracle. I noticed that the game puts players with 5-15 games played total in the matches with me. So as expected they really have no idea what they are doing. I think the game should start them in a lower rank even if they win those first matches.

Valve does not care about smurfs ruining matches. Accounts are free, they literally just make new accounts whenever they want. Valve does not punish smurfing.

52680502 - another lopsided game where losing team felt completely out matched in skill

 

[jgizzyb]

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've been losing games but it's putting me in higher and higher lobbies, my last game had 2 entirely new players (the haze and holiday)

 

[yiveril798]

I reinstalled the game after a 4 months+ break. First match enemy team is full of russians with names like "niger" who blatantly aimbot since the first second of early lane.

See you in another 4 months lmfao

Why would they punish smurfing when literally nobody smurfs? You can check his demos and see it's a noob very blatantly cheating, but I guess you're doing the exact same so you cry about smurfs since you want to cheat all day long.

 

[yiveril798]

Valve does not care my guy. They don't moderate any game they have ever made. They only have VERY crappy automated systems that aren't effective. Even in the very rare cases of punishment, the cheater just makes a new accounts and goes again.

Anyone who wants proof of what he's saying:

Just look at CS2 on twitter. It's been the same cheating idiots gaslighting for like a decade at this point. Valve doesn't care and bad actors know it so they just control the overall narrative by circle-jerking with a ton of accounts. Anyone half serious about esport knows it.

52707800 - one of the most uneven matches ive ever been a part of.

 

[theteamfortress41]

i will just leave it here

so you crated a char with a sleep ability, the SAME sleep effect that haze does eith a dagger.
but for some reason rem's sleep cannot be interrupted )))) i repeat it's the SAME EFFECT
it's not a stun or knockdown it's a fucking sleep
well done icefrog and fuck you

52738896 - two Obscurus players got put into an Oracle VI vs. Phantom II match for their very first game according to statlocker, shouldn't be possible even if it's 1AM in the region they're in IMO

You can actually see how disastrous the matchmaking is after all the inactive players returned for the update.

 

[flint.wongkh]

bro @Yoshi im going on holiday tomorrow till friday so i wont be posting but what the fuck is this dogshit game. you telling me my sinclair did 6.6k damage to enemies? and REM did more? nah fuck me out of here with this bullshit ass game. fuck your matchmaking. why do you give me nerfed victors and bebops but not enemies? fuck off. guess who is the only negative in the enemy team? the support of fucking course. seriously fuck your matchmaking. 10L 4W. holy fuck thank you bro!

 

[MoonBunnies]

My lane was the only one that was even, then the other two were completely lost. Then walkers lost. The game over.

Hello,

I recently started playing again just before the new patch, I had around 20 hours in the game playing in late 2024/early 2025, with no prior moba style experience. I come back to play and every game feels like a stomp because I don't know what I am really doing or how to fully play the game at the moment, but my matchmaking lobbies (especially solo, as I am consistently being put in Oracle 3 lobbies with people that have several hundred hours of game play.)
The Match i just played 52779115 I was lost most of the game. Most games end up like this, where I have the least damage and lowest souls. Please can you look at my account as I do not feel like I belong in this rank and am struggling to learn the game as a beginner.
EDIT: I just checked my Skill rating and it has put me into Phantom 1 ( I have lost most of my games, being the lowest soul count in almost all of them)
Thank you
