Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Kravitz]

Both me and my friend are new players that clocked about 10 games in 2024, he was placed archon and me emissary. We really want to play but the games are miserable, please fix the matchmaking/rank system so we actually get to play with other new players

I think players like us are going to have to wait for them to reset all ranks or for the full game to release. The match maker just isn't a priority for them right now. Game is unplayable and deeply unfun since we just get stomped every match.

I've seen a ton of new players express this sentiment? imagine all of the new people who didn't care to leave feedback about it (99.99%) surely it's a priority if they are just bleeding all of these new players. Like I'm literally just gonna sit and wait until they say something about matchmaking so I can finally play, but by then everyone who came to try it already left. crazy fumble by valve

Been saying this for two years. Everyone in discord and the Fanboys all scream that you're dumb to think Deadlock would fail because of MM. And it will if they do not do anything to fix it and deal with smurfs and cheaters.

They could at the very least explain how MM works, ranks work, team comp works, and the rest of the stuff involved. Maybe, the burning question and most important - why haven't they done anything to try to fix it. Is the goal to still collect data to build a better MM for launch? They can fix nothing, but just actually explain it to the players and save a bunch of grief.

54183017 - We got horribly crashed
54195050 - Pretty bad we didn't had a chance since we didn't have any gun hero i think MM doing bad job in that area

matchmaker feels especially iffy lately. CIS region in particular is full of "feed or be fed" matches

Ever since the last major update the matchmaking has been much worse, i have been getting clueless teamates and enemies more often in my games. this was not the case before.
this match id is an example54215075
you have people playing heroes (or the game) for the first time in emissary+ lobbies ):

Match didn't count because someone didn't connect, but I don't think a 5-stack of Eternus players (some who admitted to smurfing on the streamers stream) vs solo Ascendant II players is a fair matchmaking.
