Bad Matchmaking Thread

Gonna do my best to give feedback without just straight up complaining. Match ID: 57036281

Average rank was Ascendant 5 vs Eternus 4?

This has been a major problem lately to the point wher games are pretty much unplayable for me. I am ascendant 5 (it was 3 before but it got bumped up without me even playing) yet I always have to play against multiple eternus 6 players in my game where I can't even play at all I just get nuked.

There are 2 players on the enemy team that are TOP 10 in my region, why are they getting into my games at all let alone not having any on my team?

Number 7, 10 and 28 ranked in OCE is on the other team while my whole team are ascendants (including me).

I just don't get it. I love this game but if I am playing against players who literally scrim for teams how can I even compete when i'm not even eternus?

just poor matchmaking once again. Celeste somehow destroyed my whole team and her teammates get a freebie win. Apparently we're the same team rank average but this is clearly not how ascendants play so once again, thank you @Yoshi

Unbalanced games with smurfs

This guy 49 hours dropped the "N" bomb first 5 minutes of the game. Picked sven did some cheese build and did 100k damage. IT seemed like everyone on their team was much better than mine. No one on my team even looked at the mini map because they got free urns uncontested. I seem to be the only one prioritzing objectives in my games and it makes them really unenjoyable.

Team of new players think they can just jungle for 15 minutes ignoring objectives and of course we got stomped.

bro @Yoshi why is it when a celeste is in my team, she isn't like the enemy team and why the fuck is the enemy team average eternus 1 when my team is only ascendant 2. what the fuck is this disparity you're fucking cooking. the score ended 14 - 44 what the fuck is wrong with your dumbo jumbo brain.

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help

Phantom 6 account in an Emissary lobby, 3 new players in my team (according to them) and match was found in less than a minute.
 
I have lost 6/7 games today and every game i have preformed well above my teams average. Even if i was the worst player on the team i should statistically win 50% of my games. I have been cursed with this plague of useless teamates for the last week and my winrate is falling like an anvil.

Ill put some examples of this below but can we please fix this matchmaking hell.

For referance i am currently phantom 3 and have been in the leaderboard for just about every character ive played. Feels like someone with a vendeta against me is specifically picking out my teamates.

I hope someone from the dev team reads this and can help me out.
Cheers
even games i win lane i still lose and end up with awful stats because i play support and my teammates are reheated tapioca.
 
57206983 - My team mates where MILES away in skill level from me and enemy team. I have no idea how this was average Phantom IV since that was my current rank so someone had to be higher. Looking at statlocker I can't find anyone higher than me (shocker).

There was a guy on my team that had 40 hours. At this stage of the game this shouldn't be a thing.
You can go to any other dev team at valve and ask how to fix this it's killing the fun of the game.
This doesn't happen in CS or Dota. So why is it happening here and I'm not even going to bother with the smurfs cause its clear your not bothered with fixing it.

Average rank is Ritualist V, but why does nobody know how to play? I climbed from Emissary II to Ritualist V, yet I still get teammates who can’t even laning or understand matchups. This matchmaking makes no sense.

Match felt completely unbalanced skill-wisely. Enemies were taking advantage of being simply better than our team. Souls were pretty much similar in the first few minutes, but enemy team's map rotation and coordination led to a complete steamroll.

can you just halt invites until the situation improves? That way people's skill can properly acclimate and eventually I won't have games where one lane clearly doesn't know how to play and costs us everything?
