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.
 
already reported the MM problem today, thanks for the patch.
Could you somehow remove the matches from the past few days (before today's update) from being considered in the ranking? I dropped down so much because of that
 
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.
 
Match ID: 54712967

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?

54748088 This was probably the worst stomp I've ever experienced and it was not just because I was playing the new character. This haze and bebop both had under 300 hours and went like 30 kills each and were basically unkillable by any of my teammates1770093871139.png
