As I post this, match is still ongoing. The Vindicta looks suspicious. I'm spectating a game from my friend.

Description of the issue:
This match clearly demonstrates a significant flaw in the current matchmaking system regarding team composition and damage type balance.

Extreme Damage Type Imbalance:
Our team (Venator, Wraith, Drifter, etc.) was composed almost entirely of physical/weapon damage dealers. Because we lacked any meaningful Spirit (magic) damage, four players on the enemy team were able to easily counter our entire lineup by purchasing Metal Skin. This made the game feel unwinnable regardless of individual skill.

Role Mismatch:
The matchmaker paired Rem and Dynamo (supports) against Bebop and Paige. While our supports played their roles, the enemy Bebop was allowed to scale into a massive carry, dealing over 73k damage.

Conclusion:
The enemy team had a healthy balance of Weapon and Spirit damage, making them very difficult to itemize against. In contrast, our team was forced into a single damage type from the draft, creating a massive disadvantage from the very start. I don't believe a match with such a fundamental composition gap should be considered "balanced" by the system.

61674677 stop making ai lobbies, i love ur game, why u force me play like that
If you need to equalize my win rate, then just take away my rating points. Please, I don't want to waste hours of my life trying to get into a normal lobby pool. Do something about your terrible rating system.
Just take my rating away and throw me into normal lobbies. Don't try to equalize my rating through games like this. It's scary to think how much time I wasted on games I lost from the very beginning.

3.61723199

At this point these games like this doesn't feel fun to play, some things I noticed is few people like me are paired with teammates much weaker or were feeders that the game reports are really useless. I get opponents that are much stronger than me noticing their skill level is higher??
My win rates with these type of match ups have been so terrible that I would play another game already.
This are recent MatchIDs.

Probably the most lopsided match I've ever played.

 

[dfnmtd]

Please make separate queues for parties and solos, laning against a coordinated duo with a random is torture, is it too much to ask?

 

[pabloverner]

somebody tell me HOW in the world is it possible to have such a disparity in damage from ALL of the team compared to me ??? bear in mind i was the one with most deaths, HOW did the rest of the team could not do even HALF my damage ??

[Barrent]

Matchmaker is incredibly bad since yesterday. Every of the last 7 games is one sided shitshow when every lane is lost.

7 games in a row with exactly the same pattern. Enemy team won most of their last matches when my team lost. I survive laning phase but mid game is always one sided stomp because enemy team becomes way too fed. Taking a break for a while because this bullshit is unbearable.

Here are some examples,

Since the OGNB update every single match has been a completely one sided steamroll by either team. Without fail there will be multiple people that end the game with double digit deaths. All of these matches are from high Oracle to high Ascendant and every single one feels more like a coinflip than the last. I have 1300 hours on the game and I am routinely seeing people with less than 200 get placed into my lobbies. Playtime certainly isn't the single measure of skill, but when the displayed ranks don't make any sense it's the only metric I have to go off.

61790218 -- Strange game where I got yelled at for grouping up to push a tower.... 16-22 minutes in the game... Like, they gotta be new right???

 

[Futureation]

I think the Valve devs tried with the new MM update to show how good the old one was. The new matchmaking update made the terrible experience even worse.

Now the games feel like either you or the enemies have no chance at all. I honestly do not understand what is so hard about making a matchmaking system that is better than this terrible experience right now.
Especially Match ID 61804485 shows it
