Bad Matchmaking Thread

[iLikepie]

Why do you people put all the new players on one fucking side? Like how hard is it to have the match making put half the fucking new players on one side and the other on the other side. Nope you idiots decide to put all new players on one side and put them against ppl with 500+ matches. This is fucking pathetic. great match making. idiots.

Games like these make me not want to que up anymore. Ever since Apollo came out, about 70% of my games feel like this now. At least 2-3 people on my team are legitimately clueless every single game. It's literally a battle of who has less feeders.

My lane went fine, the others fed like crazy and we stood no chance after that; one lane literally ended 0/8/0 and 0/9/0. Please do something about matchmaking

Good day,

Match code: 59029182
Date: 2/16/2026 4:03 PM
Match duration: 16:16

Description:
The match somehow started with the Arch Mother team's Graves player being auto-dc'd as the match started. A red box indicating the match could be abandoned, but would result in a loss was present. (Prior to the 10 minute mark somehow)

The match was still counted and resulted in a loss for members on the losing side.
This match should have resulted in a green box, the match being uncounted, and no penalty placed against anyone.
Please do not count this match.

Dear Mr Developer,

You can't really think this matchmaking is even close to being fair.

I play primarily support characters like Paige and Rem and have no chance to win a game. The enemy team gets placed with aggressive high skill players that attack my team and on my end I have people who read their abilities mid game and hit creeps the entire game. You can see the statistics and damages of core players on my team and compare them to everyone else on the enemy team.

Fix this dogshit matchmaking or watch your game die before it's released.

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

this game ass

 

[Chatbrun13]

Hello,

I'm writting this post because I'm put in Oracle 1 matches while playing new Heros for the first time and get my ass handed to me. Why ?

Because I was Ritualist at Max when playing my main . And now I find myself in Oracle lobby (don't know why) and lose every-single-time. Can I come back to Ritualist please

Two extremely unpleasant matches where there was no coming back, the game was extremely lop-sided and unpleasant from the beginning. Especially in the top on there was almost a 100k soul lead for the enemy team, which felt like it shouldn't be possible at all.

completely one sided match.

Completely unfair matchmaking in this one.

59069826

Emissary 2 for the enemy team and Ritualist 5 on our team; I was Ritualist 4 during this match.
We had two people who contributed nothing. I assumed I was the lowest elo on my team and it gave us higher ones to balance it out, but the results speak for themselves.

I don't even understand why the game thought this was a fair matchup, I wasn't even on a winning streak. For games with wider matchmaking like this we shouldn't lose rank, especially if you didn't do bad.

The silver just kinda fed all game and was way overextended the entire time, Apollo was just having a hard time.
The three of us were all playing properly and doing well, but two dead weights made it impossible to win against a team that was all performing well.

 

[jurnieks1233]

So this is peak fun gameplay with great match making UFFFF

 

[x-trem007]

Invested approx 50-60h lately and went from Initiate to borderline Alchemist 1.

Honestly what I see is somehow bigger discrepancy despite of much longer queue times (Initiate took less then 2 min usually to start the game -> now it regularly takes 3-5 despite me adding 3 more heroes to legend pool of mine).

Also there are much more games where people somehow play like bots = worse than I have ever seen in Initiate level. Meanwhile better players are significantly better = more coordinated, advanced movement starts to appear regularly, much better accuracy.

And finally it is sad to see so many players who get triggered by comms - you asking to change lanes because one is weaker than other, not to lose them all, or suggest some tactics and getting instant "stfu" messages or voice comms. So much less was present in lower ranks. Not sure how in Beta testing community is already so typical of Overwatch or Apex aka hero ball + any communication in soloq triggers rage and brainless comments.

p.s. I was made aware of option where you can choose more competitive queue -> somehow after ticking that I feel like I get put in games where game expects me to carry bots vs actually putting me in overall more competitive teams. Maybe a bug.

 

[whyme--]

you can literally just look at my account and see how ass the matchmaking is. my friend has like 12 games played and is emissary, i have over 100 with close to 50% win rate and im alchemist 4. I STARTED SEEKER 1 BTW. i consistently derank but it takes multiple wins in a row to even rank up. i am consistently top of my team regardless of losses. its kinda a joke that im outperforming my team everygame yet they get their shit pushed in. game feels like hot ass to play.

 

[k2!]

Impossible to win.

3 animals on my team feed since min 1. We lost mid walker on min 6!!!

I tried to carry with haze and didnt even stand a chance at winning. Awful matchmaking.

How is this fair??????

I understand 1 person feeding. 2 people feeding. But 4 at once is impossible to do anything. Fuck your matchmaking honestly!
