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.
Bad Matchmaking Thread
- Thread starter Yoshi
- Start date
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.

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

Match ID 54204467
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.

It is incredibly frustrating to deal with AFK players in this game. To begin with, the matchmaking in this match was terrible, but beyond what is already typical, my team didn’t have just one AFK player, but two. The game practically started with players missing, we lost a tower in less than five minutes, and on top of that, McGinnis seemed to be playing in a match that clearly did not match his elo, or was outright trolling. It is not normal for someone to finish 0–8–0 and then go AFK.
The question is obvious: why is there no remake system for situations like this? Players are forced to play every match in ranked, yet those who actually want to improve their elo are also forced to stay in clearly unfair matches, with double AFKs and extremely poor matchmaking.
Hopefully these systems will be improved when the game is fully released, because putting up with AFKs in an inherently competitive game completely kills the motivation to improve and keep learning.

Never gonna happen. Don't wait for it. It just don't. Dota 2 is released more than 10 years ago and got zero rank resets. Just to compare.
54206285.
ArchMother - 5 players have kill streaks at the same time. All the while HiddenKing team all has 1-2 kills, except for ONE player. That player had 6 kills. Their best had 22. 2 second best had 13 kills each. After that 11 kills each for another two.
The match was over in 26 minutes. It ended with 198 k souls for the blue team, and 134 k for the orange one.
It was abysmal. Never had it THIS bad.

Another game where there is too much difference in gold between the two teams, plus there is a guy who is an obvious cheater, here is his profile.

It's 110% guaranteed success already. People are playing 10-15 even 20 year old games for a reason. Absolutely nothing new is good these days except Deadlock. Matchmaking in Deadlock however... but like I've said in posts before people that actually care about good games will go through external sites like FaceIt instead.
I'll also say this again. The one and only thing they need to do to "fix" matchmaking is add back ranked and unranked. That's it. New people play unranked and learn the game and when they are comfortable they go into ranked. At least a big portion. I know there are dumdums that just go into ranked anyway. And all vets will play ranked. If they made ranked forced solo again too that would be the dream for me. Best games I ever had on Deadlock.

I appreciate everyone posting here, but it has been 500 pages.
Is it not clear they don't care about this problem? I mean they launched a big content/art update with zero gameplay changes, no fixes to matchmaking and so on. They're losing thousands of potential players every single day due to never working on essential, fundamental, features like matchmaking.
