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.

I have no idea what's happening anymore, every match since the new update has has the same thing where it was 2 god tier players on the enemy team carrying, or at worst like half of them are just way out of my league.
I only abandoned 3 matches for reasons but since then I've been sticking around even for the one sided ass whoopings I get but nothing is improving, I'm trying to play good, run good builds but I still get steamrolled because every time I fight someone one guy on a 7 killstreak just pops up and I get jumped.
I'm starting to get tired because I love this game but it's getting to me having to sit through 40 minutes of getting stomped.
is anyone else having this problem? because the people in the lobbies I've been in brought up that they've also been experiencing this.
I wanna clarify that I'm not saying my teammates are bad, I know I can be shit at the game at worst, my teammates are fine, we can get an even amount of kills between all of us but the people we end up against are as I said, out of our league.

This is how they want MM to function in Deadlock. This is working as intended.
Played a match today. One of our teammates had 25 hours total gameplay. He said haze must be cheating because of how much damage she does. I was in a 3 stack. I have 1400 hours played. One party member 1000 hours and the third has 1800 matches.
Playing with a warden that has not even read all of thr abilities or items yet...
Matchmaking has ZERO defaults or failsafes. It is 100% being driven by some wacky skill algorithm that priorities queue times or data collection.. no clue.. thats my guess. Why on earth would.my 3 stack be in a game with someone brand new who could easily have a terrible time playing with us.
Of course we will get frustrated with them. And its not their fault.
And of course the enemy haze will 1 shot him
Game was archon average for our team and oracle for enemy team.
Another member of our team not in our stack said they were phantom....
Matchmaking is either not valves strong point, they have alternative motivations with Matchmaking, or they just think they know better.
Its simple. If I have 1k+ hours in a game please dont put me with noobs by definition. Its not fun for anyone. So whatever clever MM you think youre doing...it ain't it when everyone is having a bad time

Matchmaking is working as intended. This is how they want it to be. It has been this way for 2+ years now. They aren't going to change it; everyone honestly knows that too. Everyone is just lying to themselves and to each other. It is all rose-colored glasses. Look at all of Valves other games. Same issues. This is matchmaking.

It was a completely one-sided game, with several teammates racking up 10 deaths in lane and had no player damage and an enemy Yamato that was clearly either on a smurf account or tragically placed in that match.

I have 800 games of Deadlock played and this is easily the most lopsided game I've ever seen. Is the matchmaking just horrible after the latest patch?

Placed in an Ritualist/Emissary lobby as an Oracle player. Victor is also considered a higher skill than my average. (one green arrow)

My rank tanked since the matchmaking updates today, to the point to where it looks like I'm smurfing. Over the last couple days, I was floating around Emissary/Archon, and I'm now in Initiate/Seeker lobbies. I did recently start playing again after about a year break, but I have over 10 matches under my belt since I returned.

I'm not sure how we address this, but this is a frequent scenario I run into whenever I am in a party of 3 or more. We are between Alchemist and Emissary and it seems to be the sweet spot for high ranked players playing with new players. That and smurfs.
Here is an example of a game we just played, checked statlocker and 3/5 were oracle or higher and two are new players in a party of 5. Checked their match history and they have 15 or so games of absolute stomps.

I've recently been ranking up/down from oracle 2 to archon 5-6, but my games seem to have players that just downloaded the game and they either:
1. get stomped and leave the game
2. don't get something their way and just start griefing.
Since the update attracted many new players I would suggest more rigorous punishment for leaving the game.
For example: this game just happened - rem had prio token on Silver and didn't get her so he wrote 1 message -> heavy meleed in his lane into the enemy guardian and died at 30seconds in the game -> disconnected and didn't come back. This was an oracle 4 game which is insane to me that people just don't care..
