Bad Matchmaking Thread

53222652

FOUR of the players in my team (mina confirmed, the rest is very probable) are playing their first game since 2024 and they're in a lobby with me and kelvin who play the game actively against a full team of people also actively playing
Matchmakming is dogshit. Putting experienced players with new ones forcing experienced players to lose and dropping their rank.. I were Phantom, now Archon.. Game is literally unplayable right now.
 
Another game where teammate (Mina) first timer Feeding enemy. All teammates low ranked and had no clue how to play as a team or towards objectives.

Fix matchmaking and stop putting experienced players with new ones.. Its destroying the whole gameplay experience. You are literally forced to lose due to bot teammates who has no clue how to play.
 
Can you guys just bring back unranked so all the new people can play there instead? Every game even in Phantom/Ascendant lobbies complete beginners... it's not fun for us that actually play the game and the rest.

Hello again. Once again here, but this time it's a little different, because the beginner this time wasn't on my team, but on the enemy team. To be fair, and not just complain when it's on my team, I'll complain now that it's happening in my match in general.

Okay, this matchmaking sucks. Serio mermo. It's hard to play normal games like this. Brawl Street is more balanced than normal, man. This is unbelievable.

Every game I played since coming back to this was completely onesided. Got absolutely rolled by people with 500+ hours while Im at 13 and havent played in over a year. Same goes for the friends I queued with.

I was placed into Oracle VI despite not playing for a year (rank didn't even exist back then and I only put in 15 hours). Every match since has been a horrific stomp because my team is playing 4v5. To be honest, I will not be playing Deadlock anymore until this is resolved, because I am just ruining other people's experience by playing. I hope this is fixed before full release, thanks.

I don't want to blame the loss, but pay attention to Graves, Mo&Krill and infernus. And then on Haze.

In general, it seems to me that because of the high KDA, they give you weaker players in the team. If that's really how it works, then it's a pretty big hindrance to support players... Of course, you can also win on support with weak allies, but it's more difficult than playing on "carry" characters with weak allies.

Below is the photo and the ID of the game that was before the one shown in 1 photo:
This game was also strange, with significantly weaker opponents.

This is just my subjective opinion, I may be wrong, but most likely the selection really did not work correctly in these games.

upd: Although the second match is more like an average match :)

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.

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.
