Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID 52964055
Atrocious matchmaking. 3 supports and people who felt like they weren't at all belonging on this elo, basically running in to die alone, repeatedly. Enemy had just much better coordination and everything. Felt unwinnable since the start.

Match ID 52968483
Seemed like the only one who would communicate somehow or have any awareness of what to do was Mina. The rest felt like they did not belong in this rank while enemy team felt to be way higher skill level on every level.

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.

In both matches, both teams had a duo plus a 4-stack.
I.E. both teams in both matches were equally stacked.

Also, bamboozling was attempted: "The Drifter"-player has almost three hundred (300) PvP-matches notarized on Statlocker
(unsure about recorded "unranked" matches like the "vs-Bots" etc.).

was queuing with 2 friends and 3 of our other teammates were fresh installs with an average of 3-7 matches ever played, but the entire enemy team had way more matches played compared to us.

You don't work for Valve and they aren't going to hire you, you know this right? I see you everywhere posting like the boot is the most delicious food you've ever had.
 
I have 1000 hours in the game and the user was at PHANTOM level until I started playing random lobbies. It is somewhat incomprehensible that some of my teammates always have a few hours in the game or are in their first game. Constant losses when Matchmaking puts complete beginners in the team who feed the enemy and don't know how to play. Fix the matchmaking, it is very bad. I can't stand the fact that every other game I play with first-time players. Why doesn't Matchmaking create games between players who are at the same skill level? I don't mean rank, because my user has dropped to ARCANIST level because of this really bad matchmaking - but in general SKILL LEVEL how the players actually play (objective score, dmg dealt, healing to others, souls per min, etc). The rank system is completely broken, as is Matchmaking.
Note: Rank no longer has any function in the game, because due to matchmaking you are forced to lose no matter how well you play - it only needs one feeder in the team to ruin the game.

Here are a few example matches when my teammates have been completely newbies and really far from my own skills:

53042030

52763201

52478076

The game is already in great shape - But the matchmaking and rank system are completely ruined.

Ive had several games in this week where I get matched with people who are likely brand new and dont seem to know what they are doing.. but that seems intentional because currently it seems mm wants fast queues over skill balance. For example - ID19005423

Couldn't tell if this was just a stomp or if my teammates were genuinely new

This happens alot. Started to play random lobbies and rank dropped from PHANTOM to ARCANIST really fast due to really bad teammates
 
Just played against a whole stack of aimbotters. 6 strong. All steam accounts have comments about them cheating in deadlock and other games. Why even make an online PVP game in 2026 without actual anitcheat?
 
Another match, back to back, cheating stacks of 6. Accounts all level 0 or hidden and ones you can see have comments about them cheating in deadlock and other games. What the hell is even happening anymore?

EDIT* 3rd game in a row. Same thing and same type of steam accounts.

How are people Solo Queuing their first match into an Archon/Emissary Lobby. New players are not going to stick around or come back later if their first experience is getting punched in the face.

does the matchmaking not take into account the number of games + winrate? my team never had a chance this game and it REALLY felt like it. Even if these 12 accounts are matched for some reason why not swap me who has a 42% winrate on paradox with one of the other "oracle" players? one of them has a 70% winrate.
