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

The best I can be is Archanist, and maybe Ritualist at best, but how the heck I can face Oracle ? My team gameplay including me not shown as Oracle players at all
Yoshi really need to reset Rank every time big update drops

Do you even look at this thread?

First match ID: 52816404
Second match ID: 52822873
In the first match i'm in a duo squad with Skeptic and we get 4 random mates while the enemy team gets 2 random mates and a squad of 4. We obviously lose that match because it's difficult to defeat a coordinated squad of 4 when we're only two people with randoms. Another thing to mention, our Drifter said that this was his first ever match of the game. I have no idea if he was telling the truth but if he wasn't lying to us then there's something seriously wrong with the matchmaking because me and Skeptic have like 600 hours on the game, there's no reason why his first match should be with players who have played hundreds over hundreds of hours already.
You're probably wondering how I know that it was a squad of 4 that we played against. Well, after we finished the first match, me and Skeptic searched for another round, which we quickly found. We quickly noticed at the start of the match that the enemy Warden, Page, Haze and Abrams were the same 4 people from the last round. They had the same characters like last round so it wasn't hard to notice it.
So here's a question, why does a duo squad get matched up against a squad of 4? No wait, here's an even better question, why does a duo squad get matched up against the same squad of 4 two times in a row?
PS. Can you add a option to block heroes while searching for a match? It would be nice to finally have a round without an enemy Haze that farms the whole game and is almost unkillable.

Two 0 kill 10+ death teammates. In a match where we are supposedly the higher ranked team. I've still yet to go negative in a standard match since the patch but I've still yet to WIN a SINGLE standard match since the patch.
Everyone here needs to stop posting in this thread and post suggestions to improve mm through the general gameplay feedback. It is very obviously falling on deaf ears and harming the experience.

Valve does not moderate their games. They literally use volunteers and bots to manage the official discord. This is a multi-billion dollar company and they simply do not care to moderate their games.

im ask 3 btw, why is the difference in players so big? I feel like I'm playing 1x6. and why do they give me such lower ranks than mine? I'm play on asia server and ready to look for a game for an hour but let me play with players of my level, I know that these players exist in Asia because it rarely starts me on phantoms and ascendants. Match ID: 52857881, 52849668 (this has been going on for the last 20 matches, but even before that it was just terrible)

After returning and realizing I'm still in Oracle rank after over a year of inactivity I played a bunch of games in hopes for my rank to tank so i can actually enjoy the game. I'm currently 2w 8l and still not down ranking (i got a whole rank up back to oracle from archon for a win in a lobby that was definitely not anywhere near the skill level i've been playing at). I guess I need to lose on my top ranked characters to really tank my rank or something but I just do not understand why there hasn't been a rank reset since I last played.
Here's some Match Ids i guess

This has been happening to me since the update. I've almost exclusively faced 5-stacks while my team is comprised of solos and maybe a duo. It's incredibly hard to win a pub against 5 people all sitting in Discord. It makes every match a sweatfest, there's just simply no counter for it.
For example:
Match: 52397980
5-stack with Ascendant Pocket and a game-ban Seven with only CS2 and this game in his library, we obviously lost. 62-48, 32k soul difference, 38:59.
Match: 51017873
4-stack, 35-23, 38k soul difference, 30:34.
It's incredibly annoying and it's happened almost every single game.

52898727 - Something is seriously broken in the matchmaker, I am in Emissary V and just was in a Ritualist 3 average match, I think Rem being selected is forcing it into making high skill range games, probably better to prioritize the skill range over the hero selection aspect.
