Bad Matchmaking Thread

This one is a bit of an odd game and can't really tell if it's bad matchmaking or just one of those games. Deciding to mention it cause it's an Archon average match and the plays just didn't feel like what you'd expect from what should be a higher rank. From what I saw the after looking at player profiles, the losing team had more matches combined compared to mine but we still ended up winning. However at least on my end macro knowledge of the game was lacking on both sides. I'll be honest as well this wasn't my best match personal performance wise.

For example, we had 2 walkers lose over 50% of their hp due to creep wave. Team wasn't following up on it till later and seemed to pick fights rather than maintain lanes. On the flip side, enemy team also didn't choose to push nearly dead walkers and also proceeded to team fight. Also at end our team pulled out of enemy base saying mid was in 1 min...despite being on last phase of patron, only one player on enemy team being alive and death timers still long for other players. Again, on the flip side remaining enemy player (and the one that joined after them) didn't go into pit to defend and played outside allowing our Vyper and me to just finish it off.

Honestly just a weird game all around. Like....it worked out but just really strange plays and again just didn't feel like what I would expect an Archon match to be like.

@Yoshi what the fuck is this ass fucking match. no way my team is fucking ascendant 2 average considering how dogshit they play. This is 15 minutes into the game and my team is so fucking shit that we're losing 4-20. How do you give these people ascendants? because 0/6 0/5 0/2 0/3. fucking feeders and ofc my team loses while the mina goes 9/0, lash 4/0. literally the whole enemy team is positive bar doorman. This type of matchmaking is why cancer exists because of how bad it is.





3Ls back to back. I got the Yoshi and bombardiro players on my team but guess what. Still lost. this game had those players and it finished faster than the other 2 games. Thank you @Yoshi truly for being built diff for ranked. You are one of a kind special for making the matchmaking absolute dogshit. Thank you



@Yoshi genuinely don't know how bad your matchmaking is. Another fucking loss. AMAZING APOLLO GAMEPLAY. Whenever hes my team. he does fuck all. how are these people ascendant 4 bro please explain how. They do fuck all and fucking feed like idiots in a cage. Fuck your matchmaking genuinely. fucking learn from dota please. Im gonna find one more and Im gonna post 4Ls in a row because you are fucking amazing at programming the matchmaking

This latest mm balance patch severely fucked up everything. Third match in a row without a single shred of hero balance or skill balance.

Side lanes fed opponents with 10 kills before 10 minutes passed, what an abso-fucking-lutely horrid state of the game at the moment.

I am taking a vacation, it's just fucking garbage now.

I am playing with a friend. Were both emissary (he is even high emissary). We played against average Teamskill Arcanist and our team was average low ritualist. This shit mmr makes no sense at all.....

I love the hell out of this game, love the time and dedications the devs are putting into it. Haven't had this much fun in multi since old Halo 3, but man, every match since December is such a stompfest. My teammates are playing like they're in a much lower elo than I am, and as I mainly play Ivy, there's little I can do to change a stomp aside rescuing teammates and guarding walkers. These pics are just recent examples, but I have so many more. It's just been getting rougher and rougher. Toxicity is at an all time high, and I understand that loses happen, of course, but multiple games in a row where my teammates have overfed in lane under five to ten minutes is crazy, or they crashout and yell that we're not doing what they want us to do, or just feeding and throwing and laughing on mic while we try to play around them, or just plain afk in the middle of the match. Many of them I suspect it's their first game or first few, I get that, but why are they in high archon/lower oracle then? I don't know. Just to add, I always do offer to help my teammates if they're dying a lot in lane, it's not like I'm blind to their struggling. But normally they brush me off or get toxic or just start cursing at me. I'm not a game dev by any regards, but something has to be possible to fix this, right? Hoping you all have a patch in the works.

62341642 - Apollo and Celestia dealt less damage in total than any player on any team. After four consecutive victories, August's mmr increased (from Seeker 6 to Arcane 1), and players began to be buffed like newbies or worse. Additionally, I was banned from playing Ruins until February 27, which was very amusing.

Question: why people keep posting here? Thread is almost suitable to train AI = 583 pages, yet it seems no tangible results so far in terms of game matchmaking?

Was someone from deadlock dev team ever here?

Something is really wrong with matchmaking. I was Ascendant 4-3. I've been solo queueing, it randomly decided to put me in NA when I'm EU sometimes, otherwise consistently I always seem to be getting phantom lobbies? I was getting Ascendant 3 to 5 lobbies two nights ago or so. I'm playing on a green arrow character.


Today, I haven't gotten a single Ascendant game.

One of the lane kept feeding couldn't keep up with enemies even after being the top farm and most kills. Bad teammates holding us back

I asked the players what their rank was at the end, the Apollo(our best player) said he was an alchemist, the Vyper said they were in archon. I'm in arcanist, I have no idea what the Haze was but I really doubt she belonged in our match. Ultimately a really confusing mess of a match with a bunch of people who I don't think should have been playing together.

Two matches later I got another really poorly matched game where I really don't think we were facing opponents we should have

No idea what anyone's ranks were in this match, but it was such a strong stomp that my lane had walker by minute 6. Given that other lanes were similarly one sided, I feel this was another really poorly matched game

Feels like every game there's 1-2 people going 0-10 or 0-20. Surely these people are not in the right games if they're performing so poorly. Doesn't matter when you are ahead when someone on the enemy team is 4x as ahead from clueless teammates. I get it, some people have bad games, but this is beyond being a little behind, it's just completely running it down.
Venator this game was dead for half the match: 62444786
Bebop basically going 0-10 in lane: 62134118
Graves and Holliday almost a combined 0-20: 61845417

the start of the round was fine but about 20 mins in and everything had gone downhill

everyone as around 20-25k souls EXCEPT ONE GUY a drifter player with by the end 50+k souls more then double everyone else's, and went 39/2 and had more then 4 times the player damage than anyone else, maybe even more then everyone on both teams combined

Graves and Abrams were practically feeding the enemy. Its almost like they were new players with no game sense. Also the team kept trickling and charging into fights, where the entire enemy team was present and losing the fight because half our team was not present.

I did get over aggro at one point in the match, but tbh, it was a loss anyway with how hard those two were feeding... Their combined K/D was 6 - 24
