Our Billy had only ever played 2 games and was being put into Emissary 5 games. The Dynamo may also have been new as well.

I have played this game for 1,045 hours (1,463 matches). I’ve been playing since September 2024. I’ve seen matchmaking in bad states many times, but I have never seen it look as awful as it does now.
So many smurfs are dominating the game, especially with the release of new heroes. It wasn't nearly this bad in the previous big patch. Here is a list of the matches I played in the past two days alone where we lost specifically because of smurfs on the opposing side:
54398058: Abrams
54385327: Graves - Ivy (against 5-stack)
54371359: (against 4-stack)
54364198: Vyper - Abrams - Mina
54283184: Abrams - Ivy - Lash
54271765: Calico
54027010: Paige
53697028: Graves
53390038: Haze - Pocket
53378305: Bebop - Yamato
52840831: Drifter
Not to mention that the MM is still terrible. Yesterday I was teamed up with a trio who had all played fewer than 100 matches (Match ID: 54385327), or another game with a Bebop and Dynamo who had very few games played (Match ID: 54398058).
This is getting really frustrating. Many of my friends with significant playtime have simply stopped playing. I know this game is in early development, and I know it's not your top priority, and I know you're getting new players with each big patch, but you're losing your most valuable players. Why should I, with more than 1,000 games, be on the same team as someone with fewer than 100? I would prefer to stay in a queue for 20 minutes for a fair game rather than be in a frustrating one.

54550028 - Bebop feeding so enemy team could snowball, unwinnable
54541545 - Fairly even in kills/souls but my team refused to do any pushing. We never got a slot even though we killed their entire team after 20min mark. Everyone went jungle.
54533753 - Graves and Drifter feeding. Doesn't matter how much dmg Drifter does if he keeps dying for the dmg leaving us with fewer players alive all the time.
54347644 - 2nd game ever for Ivy in a Phantom II lobby. Haze feeding. I checked my entire team on statlocker and I was the only one I could see that was even higher than Phantom II. Have no idea how this was average Phantom II game.
54336422 - Victor feeding like crazy, did not care at all, just suicided over and over even when team asked him to stop fighting. Yamato barely any dmg but toxic in chat like he was carrying us while in reality doing nothing.
54311056 - Calico had extremely few games played. Why am I Phantom IV at this game, placed into Archon II? Shiv also solo died fighting in jungle all game.
54296930 - Placed in Archov IV as Phantom IV
54259537 - 68min game because people have no idea how to play the game.
54245576 - Phantom IV placed in Archon V lobby. I think the rest of my team must have been extremely low rank looking at their performance.
Deranked from Phantom V to Phantom I. From 60% WR regularly down to 20% WR after big patch. 4 games played today. 0 wins. Team diff is extremely obvious in every game.

TLDR - As Dynamo, my lane mate was a Ritualist 1 in a Phantom lobby. Enemy up 80k Souls.
I usually main Dynamo, (top 300 NA) and have long felt the game would give me a lane-mate far below my skill level. This last game, my entire team was getting shredded. The enemy was up 80k souls, and mocking us. At the end, the enemy Rem said this was a Phantom lobby (which makes sense because I was currently at Phantom 1, and my lane-mate said he was Ritualist 1. That is 4 Divisions below mine. I have a hard time even wanting to play Dynamo at this point because it happens so often. Feels like the game is desperately trying to keep me close to a 50% win rate, and not in a subtle way. It's painfully obvious sometimes.
I've felt this for a long time. I'd usually just re-queue but it felt like I needed to address this one.

Why are new players thrown into Arcanist/Emissary/Oracle and higher lobbies? A lot of new people got a sour taste being flamed and being stomped and stopped playing. It's frustrating for both sides, people with under 10h should not be placed in the same lobbies with people that have 300h+. There is enough of players to balance this out better? I know it's an Alpha, but it's a very popular Alpha, all the people having bad experiences will not be back.

My matches are literally worse now after the recent MM changes. lol. WTF?
*EDIT* Now, I am being put into matching with EU players? I am US, Indiana. And placed into EU servers? The fuck is even going on anymore?

I've gotten 14 in a row before. The matchmaking is complete shit and they just "made updates" and now I am in US getting placed in EU matches and the rank spread is even worse. They have no idea what they are doing.

Still nothing about smurfs and hackers either. Most smurfs and hackers don't even hide it anymore. MM is in a seriously sad state right now. And this thread is exploding and they still aren't doing anything about it.
