Bad Matchmaking Thread

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?

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.
 
[10:29 PM]Yoshi: @everyone We just did a matchmaking update to fix a significant issue with how we calculated the mmr and calibration for new and recently returning players. The global rank badge distribution has been adjusted as a result.

Hopefully games are better now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They didn't do anything. Just blowing smoke up everyone's asses. Lowkey. They want MM to be this way. No idea why. Bunch of Chuds stuck on DOTA nonsense and can't even give a surrender option either.
