Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Sola]

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

I am reporting this match because I think it is extremely illustrative of the problems with the matchmaker. This is not because I am lashing out at a player who went double negative and cost me to lose a 50 minute game. This game easily couldve ended at 15 minutes except the enemy team was playing super scared despite having TWENTY-FIVE+ kills at TWELVE MINUTES. I feel like it wouldve been more even if either the lash or the venator was on the other team, but instead we just got stomped. Like the matchmaking did not give us a single chance, I had a ten kill lash show up in my lane at like minute 10. In a MOBA like this without an FF ability (which I don't want anyway), these types of matches can't happen. Felt like a complete waste of time, which makes me not want to play anymore.

I am ascendant 6 and had an archon player on my team. I suspect that most of my team was severely underranked. This game was extremely one-sided, even though I nearly went flawless. I was up 15k on my own geist as rem.

i am phantom 6 and my billy elo is high relative to this, i was then queued into oracle 5 which would mean that someone was pulling elo down and the enemies were higher elo than this, i think this is exactly what is needed in this thread, because this game felt like i was bashing my skull in.

Another one.

Over 50k difference at the end + 19-59. Team was at a disadvantage from the first few seconds and it wasn't even close.

58378129 - One of the most incompetent teams I've had to play with. Bebop feeding, Rem build with 0 value so he didn't exist in the game, Venator on team so another player not existing since he is so bad and then they take fight after fight after fight no matter the soul the diff and just make the soul diff wider.

Wow, guys, I really hate your matchmaking system.
You just punish wins. As soon as you win a couple of games in a row, you throw me into lobbies like this.
Literally five people who feed, each of them has died more than 10 times.

Two games back to back with a guy who flamed the team whining the whole time and on the first game stopped participating in all fights and on the second game just fed over and over while complaining. Please allow us to block people from getting games with them. I don't understand how I can get this guy twice on a Friday evening when lots of people are playing.

58411596 - Ivy just perma feeding jumping into enemies over and over with only 120 games played. Dno what Yamato was doing because he has 60% WR with 300 games on statlocker for Yamato but I have no idea how that is possible looking at him playing. Celeste on 350 games only.

I'm ascendant 1, matched against 3 smurfs. Why even bother playing Deadlock if it's a waste of 30 minutes because you refuse to put a hard stop to smurfing and I'm forced to sit in a game vs 3 low lifes who need a win this much?

 

[Ravaanos.Sarivur]

yet another....... like how tf they are here? I will demote to emissary like that xd
ITS JUST UNPLAYABLE... Its not possible to carry with 4-5 new players in the team, they just feed and have 0 understanding whats going on

58432777 - Both Rem and Dynamo had no clue how to buy items especially Rem. Just complete dead weight. At least Dynamo had Disarming Hex I'll give him that. The Curse was just before game ended. All lanes except mine, as per usual, got demolished and they snowballed from there.
