Bad Matchmaking Thread

58885471

Two players both on their first matches on the archmother's side, and at least one other that either gave up or doesn't understand fundamentals of the mode as they passed right by us in the final round and wasn't seen for the rest of the match. I don't presume myself to be a GREAT player but surely there was a better fit that wouldn't have been quite as much of a steamroll for their first game.
 
Quit playing MM for like 3 weeks and life has been so much better and all it took was one game to remember how trash your MM is. Street brawl is all i can play. still unbearable.

Is there something wrong with the MM right now (today)?

I've had games where my team won't push, or they will go 0-15 and then say "sorry it's my first game".

Then I've gone to a few streams were people are talking about having a similar experience (teammates that are new to the game), and also seen some streamers get teammates that go 0-10 with little assists (meaning they aren't actively participating).

It just feels odd.
 
more braindead bots. these players cant even win a bot game, how are they in high phantom. It's not fun routinely playing 1v5 while the other players on the team run around like jungle monkeys. Can't even get a single game where I have a teammate more competent than bot

I played three matches today, and each one I had at least one new player on my team.

Terrible and horrendous matchmaking, games like this make me not wanna open the game anymore. This is impossible to win. The Graves admitted to being brand new, and my entire team is just turbo inting.

Not only today, it start happens since Apollo was added. After that on ASC 3-6 lobbies there is a lot of new players idk how they can get in this lobbies. One of them literally said to our team its my first game on Silver, i checked his profile and he has like 200 hours in game only. And for sure my games pretty the same whole team gets barerly 10 kills for a whole team, im playing on support and its so frustrating to see this happens. Like I've played 12(3 win 9 loses) games today and only 2 of them was literally sooo good like real competitve (even loses ones) but rest is totally one side stomp for my team. idk what they doing with MM but its going in wrong way.
 
58920150 - Complete stomp on our opponents, game wasn't fun. Not sure if they had a clue how to play, might have even been their first game?

Edit: Actually just checked the Doorman player, was literally his first game.
 
after 2 wins, i get paired with bots so bad they actually would have performed better afk. its unbelievable how these bots even figure out how to boot up. How are these jungle bots in phantom...

I got 3 of the 5 total kills in this game for my team. My entire team seemed like brand new players and I have nearly 300 hours in emmisary.

Please tell me what is fun about playing with 5 people who have no idea what they are doing. Not a single person going positive across an entire match, all the while having to listen to some dipshit make the worst calls over mic and get mad that we aren't doing them, despite being 0 kills and adding nothing to the game.

I am double down arrow on Apollo just trying to have fun learning the new hero and I keep getting incredibly unfair and lopsided games (either winning or losing). I have 1 win 5 loss on this character and none of those games has felt like an actual match, just a slaughterfest for one team where they have triple the kills and a 30k+ networth lead all game.

Matchmaking has never been perfect, but ever since the adjustments to ranks across the board and whatever other changes were made to the matchmaker in the past 2 weeks, it has been beyond unbearable. I don't understand how I'm supposed to play the game and have fun when maybe 1 in every 10 games in a decent match and the other 9 are just determined by this horrible matchmaker.

match 1 ID: 58963031
match 2 ID: 58973477

Without going into much detail, just by looking at the profiles of the accounts in my second game I can see that everyone but mina and me has a 40%wr in the past 10 games and on average a lower rank than the enemy team who all have 60-80% wr's over the past 10 games.

Going further through some of these profiles a few of them somehow magically jumped from ascendant lobbies to eternus 5 lobbies in an afternoon from the last rank "adjustments" ???

It's getting to the point where I can know who is going to win and who is going to get stomped in the majority of matches as soon as I load in, with pretty good accuracy, just based off of names and hero drafts.

I have piles upon piles of unbalanced matches from the past 2 weeks if more match ID's are needed. The game seriously feels like it's in an unplayable state right now and I hate that because it and the new characters are so fun. Please look into it...
