Bad Matchmaking Thread

Hello Yoshi and all the devs, I really love the game, you guys are making something special and I can't wait to see all the future updates the game will have. Unfortunately, these past few days deadlock has been kinda unplayable. I don't know if you did something to the matchmaking but the difference in levels between the two teams is really big. Losing is already frustrating in a moba but seeing all your lanes losing hard just makes it sad to play for another 25 minutes when you know after 5 that it's already over again and again. On the opposite, free wins because the opposition doesn't know what they are doing are not rewarding. I really miss having tense games and I hope you guys are working on it. In the meantime I'll take a break frome the game because I don't want to start hating it before it officially launches xd. Ty for reading
 
MAtch ID:

I also lost a total of 14 games in a row and ranked up. from Emissary 4>5.
 
Match id:

Entire team was toxic in voice comms, seemed like they were brand new AND ignorant. They SHOULD be banned. Did damn near zero effort to push onto objectives or help in fights so I go negative. . mind you this is in Ritualist V

You can even see the Dynamo going to the wrong tower in the pictures below

The team kill ratio was 4 to 30

27 min in and there were only 2 towers taken on our team

Not only that but if you leave you get penalized. Extremely maddening 😡 - also caused me to drop in rank

Uninstalling until matchmaking gets fixed in a few years and surrender button gets added

Have over 500 hours played

god awful fucking match, ive had horrible games but this one is making me genuinely not want to touch this fucking game at all anymore. even past that all the matches ive had, ive had the most toxic braindead teammates vs. the enemy team who seemingly always seem to play like theyre fighting for top 500. surrender button wouldve come in handy instead of having to sit in a match and get verbally lashed at for valve's dogshit matchmaking. not gonna play deadlock for a very long time if at all

Please give me a good reason why any of the players on my team, at a minimum are allowed to play in an emissary lobby, and at best, allowed to play the game. Low quality players with little to no interest in learning or getting better. If a player can't commit literally 10-15 fucking minutes to watch a youtube video, why are they given the same right to 40 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
 
I'm on my 4-5th, this is just bullshit.
brother. I got put in low prio because my internet went out twice in a row. and I see the same 10 inters in ascendant every day go 10 to 15 deaths every game and lose every single game and they stay in the same elo. its just doomed at this point xd

Dear Yoshi, I rarely complain about the match making because I know the game is still in development. But these past few days, the match making has been very miserable, all of the games that I've played has 10k souls gap at 15 mins. It's really un-enjoyable playing this type of matches

the screen talk...
deadlock is a joke for every competitiv game rn ...
no placement match
peoples playing a way too high for them
and balance lmfaooo there is no balance at all in the game (nerf fucking graves, this shit hereos is the worst things that i never saw on a "competitiv" game)
talk with a lot of player that are top 500 on overwatch, marvel rival, lol
deadlock is a joke for them cos of its balance and rank distribution
