Bad Matchmaking Thread

@Yoshi Literally had 3 losses in a row. The last one I had a 3 stack on my team in which the Billy in the stack fed then got angry and started to drop the n bomb for 20 minutes. Then someone told him to be quiet and his friend started to drop the f bomb and started to make jokes that would probably put them in the good books of Epstein. (Match id: 56145272, Player steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ChickenMonkeyman14)

Please fix the matchmaking. That last match was painful without a surrender option @Valve

another day, another ruined matchmaking: 56391675

one player, wiianda (silver) can't even move because he is on a different server (high ping or delay or packet loss) causing him to leave the game 5 minutes into the game. i can only suggest:

1. fix matchmaking (skill level distribution, dedicated servers,etc.)
2. add a report button for people who are leaving the game or going afk (griefing may not count as a violation for these two actions).

thank you.

    -Brand new players (like their very first game) teamed against experienced ones.
    The drifter only ran towards the enemy map every spawn and died. Seemed completely brand new to any video game or excessively griefing, I couldn't tell. I asked if it was his first game but no response. Mcginnis and Haze seemed very new but didn't go 0/17/2. The drifter only had 1 assist for all of the game. Getting his 2nd only by proximity when an enemy died at the end of the game after patron. No one on the enemy team seemed new.

    -Brand new players teamed against brand new ones. Teams stacked/unfair again.
    The viscous said it was his second game. He fed in lanes, including dying to a trooper. then randomly swapped lanes and took someone else's without comms. There did not seem to be new players on the other team.

    -Almost entire team of brand new players vs experienced ones. Not even competitive.
    My team was obviously new. Enemy team seemed full of experienced players.
    My team all lost lanes and would not hit any objectives. They were amazed the enemy team was taking our camps as if they were pros. Notice Abrams & REM both with 0 OBJ damage, graves with 439 obj damage and ven 792 obj damage in a 30 minute game. The Haze only just got some obj damage at the end when the enemy was about to take our patron.

Why am I being matched with people in their first games when I have 300+ hours in the game? I'm not new and neither are my opponents. But I can't carry playing 2-3 people down all game. Worst they are 0/XX/1 all game not hitting objectives.
This is making the games so unenjoyable to the point of not wanting to play.

I've gone from phantom 1 to oracle 1 in about 4 games because the matchmaker keeps putting me in these lobbies. At least put me against people of my own skill if it's going to be completely one sided so that I don't have to sit through this shit for nrly 40 minutes...

Highly suspect at least two players (GT & Venator) on the other team were cheating, also, emissary lobby but we have a 0-15 Warden????

What am I even supposed to do in games like this? It's so one-sided that you can't make it up. Vyper fed the entire match and turned Callico into Thanos. Mina admitted to returning after a long time and I am pretty sure Holliday was new as well. Unwinnable.

Everyone is feeding their brains out and there's nothing I can do about it. Abrams and Drifter ran the lobby and we didn't stand a chance for a single moment. I did my best not to feed, but the matchmaking is so one-sided we just lose.
