Bad Matchmaking Thread

53885489 Match ID
THIS IS RIDICILOUS. These guys are NOT PLAYING the game.
All the enemy is dead, they stare at the base. THEY DO NOTHING AT ALL. I myself was the only one pushing to the shrine. This is literally so bad. Griefing at its max.
 
Match: 53906773

RU Level 1 Steam account rage hacking. FUN STUFF.

Russian account playing on NA East servers and rage hacking on Talon. How can the anti-cheat not detect when ALMOST HALF of a player's damage is headshot crits?
 
wow I'd like to play Deadlock my favourite game!!
first game: 53912110
cis fresh account haze blatantly smurfing and admitting to this in chat. such a great experience!
second game: 53926559
our lash feeds 4 kills and leaves the game, everyone DCs as enemy team trashtalks us!
wow I'm having such a great time! i love tanking my main hero winrate!!

given that dota 2 and CS exist for 10+ years at this point and there's been enough time to address the CORE element of any multiplayer game, the matchmaker, i'm not optimistic about this. i wish these games could be retroactively de-scored so that players who already wasted 20-40m of their time could at least get rating OR their hero WR% back

but alas. i've already said the line that makes all this irrelevant. "it's my favourite game". deadlock already is better than 90% games on the market, and you *will* crawl back to get dumpstered by cis smurf again and you *will* like it.

valve games are inevitable.

they don't have to fix matchmaking -- you're not going anywhere else anyway.
 
Another 2 matches where i were put with total bots/newbies on the same team.

53773438 -I played Paradox. Only one with Positive KD on the entire team. Teammates were all total bots/new players.

53766491 -I played Greaves. Got baited by my own teammates and were only one on the team playing objective.


I have over 1000hours in-game,. Dont put me in team with total bots/new players!!!!
My rank dropped from PHANTOM to ARCHON very quickly when my teammates were bad. Often players who were playing their first or second game. Rank has lost its meaning completely. No matter how well I play, winning is often impossible when teammates 1-3 players feed the enemy and play their first games. I have 1000 hours in the game. 3 different steam users. All users have been high level PHANTOM. But when you start playing Random lobbies, rank drops very quickly because of this shockingly bad matchmaking.

It makes no sense to put an experienced player with 1000 hours in the same team with first-timers.. What on earth is the developer thinking? Fix this incredibly poor matchmaking. The game is completely unplayable right now.
the dev is on meth and is homeless
 
Why is there no surrender button in the game?

This game, unfortunately, is a snowbally mess (even by MOBA standards), since items are so powerful that even relatively small differences in souls lead to power spikes so big that the game becomes one-sided, with little to no catch-up mechanics to try to reign this in. Hero design and counter item design don't help either; when expensive items are necessary to deal with certain heroes, this leads to the already losing team being in an even worse situation: they are forced into certain items that only let them survive, while at the same time being behind on souls, thus by the time they build the item the enemy is so far ahead that there is nothing anyone can do.

So I ask again, why is there no surrender option?

If this is the balancing philosophy, that's fine, but please add a surrender option; it's the second time someone I've tried to introduce to the game has quit because they are forced to remain and play awful matches that are complete stomps with zero chances of turning them around. Pair that with the fact that they can't even play the heroes they want half the time because of this weird pick system, where you aren't allowed to repeat heroes with the enemy team, and it just ends up in an incredibly frustrating experience for new players.

Medium players + wraith hacker VS experienced players (ME and TEAM)

We won against hacker, but boii AUTO-PARRY, AUTO-CASTING, AUTO-UNSTOPPABLE ITEM AGAINST CURSE DETECTION. (with aimbot, trigger and map hacking etc...)

PLEASE destroy cheaters in this game

You've created a glorified coin flip simulator and made the person who takes the hit by leaving (so others can leave without penalty) into a hero. Please fix your matchmaking and add a surrender option (maybe available after 10-15m?) in the meantime
 
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

Our team is like 4-5 Spirit Glass Cannons. Only person who can maybe frontline is Warden. These players are also way too awful to peel or coordinate so we just get ran over. And somehow the enemy team seems like all competent players and I have brand new players. Nobody is doing anything on the map, everyone is playing extremely passive.

Does this game suffer from the same thing as Dota and just riddled with smurfs? Or is the matchmaking / balancing so awful it makes the game a complete stomp.

Look at their team. Some of the best heroes in the game. A great spread of different type of heroes. All of them knew how to play their hero well everyone on my team like brand new[
 
54000254

61 to 21 kills, 70k soul difference. The other team had a lot of people who didn't seem to know that farming was a thing or how useful knockdown is. Some obvious beginners. Probably wasn't fun to get rolled.
 
Match 54025601

An oracle rated game average with a brand new player. It was vindictas first game ever.
The other players on our team didnt play great, but everyone has off days.
A new player in oracle lobbies isnt acceptable. There was no new player on the enemy team.
