"Phantom 1" vs "Phantom 2" but four of the accounts on the alleged Phantom 2 team are blatantly smurfing. "fat bastard", "Abrams", "gamecubenikolai1991", "jamespengelly1918" are all on level 1 steam accounts with no games other than Deadlock and were made within the last year. I suspect these players are probably Eternus or high Ascendant level, to be smurfing in low Phantom of all things.
Also yes the Yamato had a good game but that player was on a real non-smurf account (as was Paige) as far as I could tell, so I'm not just throwing shade at an entire enemy team.

Not sure what was going on here, Celeste has never played that character before, Paradox didn't cast her ult until 15 minutes into the game.

This match felt horrible, we couldn't win any team fights at any point in the match

lets go @Yoshi back 2 back losses with the same 2 enemies that won against my team. Amazing matchmaking system by the way. Props to you for making the game tough for my team and easy for the enemy. Literally both games teammates feed and then it just snowballed not for us, but for enemy to get fat and just feed on my team. Pushing doesn't even help because you somehow make the game super easy for the enemies.

This lobby was a complete mess of new players, somehow got placed in Emmisarry as an Archon 5 player that normally sees oracle matches, was really weird.

Another mess, people pushing past defenses while against rejuv making the most beginner mistakes (note the two, almost 3 people with 10+ deaths on our team)

Hi there, I think that there is a bug in the matchmaking system where some accounts have a separate rating and are mixed with some accounts that don't belong to the elo
Context: I was a Phantom player when ranked were a thing, and I stopped playing for about a year. I came back after a long time without playing, and after 3 or 4 consecutive losses ( I didn't have that level of course), the system skill rating was showing initiate rank.
After a few more matches, I got a pretty good level again, but I am still in Alchemist.
I consistently see 2 or 1 more players in each team that have very high elo compared to the others.
The matchmaking seems to be pointing to 50% win rate, so somehow I am being matched with low elo players but still losing/winning 50% of the games.
I am always the MVP of the team and the difference between damage/ farm is too damn high. Those are some consecutive match ids so you can investigate the issue
64437998,
64434646,
64423602,
64418059 ( leaver in our team),
64388320,
64382768
This is making all the matches completely unbalanced and frustrating for actual alchemist players and players who have more elo

Pocket seems to be, in my STRONG opinion, cheating here. Not only was it an extremely unfun and unpleasant game to play, Pocket's movement does NOT match the level of awareness and aim that he has.
Not only that, he seems to be tracking enemies through drifter ult and veils, which is unbelieveably uncommon for anyone to be doing with that accuracy. That, and they **only** have 280 hours in the game, while playing in Ascendant-Eternus lobbies, seems to me to imply they're either cheating or smurfing - but with the evidence I'm extremely certain they're cheating.
Extremely unpleasant and downright awful to be playing against someone like that.
I reported them in-game aswell but I BEG you to have a look at this sus stuff.

This whole frontliner shit needs to be reworked, how in the hell do we even win with this draft? Game was lost in the loading screen already.
