Bad Matchmaking Thread

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 NOT good at Deadlock and I am for some reason in Ritualist tier. Maximum I was in was ritualist 5. I AM NOT good at the game and currently in Ritualist 1, the fact I dropped that far proves I am not good at the game. And it's putting my in matches where people are far better than me and one even reported me for throwing when I am simply in lobbies where people are much better than me and I am not ready for such advanced players.


Doesn't help that my friends, despite being better at the game and has more experience are in lower ranks than me. Idk how I got that far, but I am telling my experience with this games problematic matchmaking.

Far from improving, the lobbies seem to be getting worse and worse, a shitshow of smurfs, complete noobs in high ranks, and cheaters. This game is going downhill fast, with no brakes. Just fire the useless Yoshi and maybe it can start to improve

Every single matchup here was just a stomp. We were completely unable to take guardians, and the general movement tech, coordination, and gun accuracy was just oppressive.

do you wonder why there are so many noobs in high ranks? here's the problem and obviously valve doesn't care, they still don't do anything against smurfs and purchased accounts, and the mm is still a shitshow

shouldnt the 6 stack of smurfs be getting a harder game? i dont really understand this one. my 4 stack wants to hop on alt accounts and start doing the same thing as these guys because the winning team had way more fun and had control the whole game
 
4 games in a row in team with people that are playing their first or second game right now.
i have more than 100 hours on this account.
this matchmaking system is terrible.

Why am I in a lobby so much lower than my rank? Why am I being paired with players who can barely leave spawn without dying? All matches I've played today have been absolutely cursed. What is going on? Just put me with people near my skill level and stop giving me 0-12 teammates. It has happened every single game I've played today, 7 games in a row, this is utterly ridiculous, no matter how hard I crush it the games _cannot_ be won.
