More inexperienced noobs being paired with and against experienced players. See Infernus, chain running into enemies feeding. he had double digit deaths before 15 mins. He died 7 times in lane, near all back to back.

No one on archmother bought a knockdown vs a team that has multiple channel ults and flying.

Another unbelieveably unfun match where we just got absolutely steamrolled. There was no chance of comeback, no chance of anything since the game lasted LESS THAN 20 minutes. This shouldn't even be possible I feel, felt entirely unbalanced with them having multiple overpowered heroes (Calico, Venator, McGinnes).

Infernus did not seem to belong in this elo and struggled immensely with everything, kept dying as well due to that. Very unpleasant match.

Since the latest patch the matchmaking has stripped any enjoyment I have out of playing this game. I am a very self critical person, but I play this game every day and have over 350 hours in it. I review my games, get feedback from other players, and am aware of the macro elements of the game. I constantly get paired with people who have no idea what they are doing whatsoever.

I have whatever the competitive mode is on at matchmaking settings and I genuinely have no idea what it does. Most games have zero comms, I am the only person with a mic. If not it is usually just someone spewing the most horrible things that have nothing to do with playing the game as a team.

It is a major issue that spoils every other aspect of the game. One again, I am incredibly self-critical and do not think I am amazing, but I have no idea why I am getting paired with the people I am.

Im really bad at the game, I would say I dont know how to play, im bad at lane, farming, chasing, macro, im a total noob, but somehow I got put in ritualist and now Im in emissary, and the game feels impossible everyone knows how to play and I can notice they do, meanwhile im so lost and I do bad at all games, I havent carried once nor do well, I thin my inicial rank is really wrong established.

Ya the whole winners queue losers queue thing is fucking toxic and game developers need to optimize for an enjoyable game and not aggravation retention.

Games are so bad right now, this is the second time in 24 hours I've flat out quit a game. Matchmaking and balance has been at it's absolute worst and I probably won't touch this game until I see a fix.

Gameplay Update - 03-06-2026 There seems to be a clear imbalance in team balance.
And the common thread is that it's almost always a team with teamfighting awareness versus a team without it.

66172055: Massive skill differences between the 2 teams. The opponents started swapping lanes early without using the invite system (something not a lot of newbies would even consider doing) all 3 lanes get stomped early on, and got snowballed all the way to the end. Love the game but that was a really unpleasant 30 minutes.

PS: If I can report a player it would be the Holliday, they died a lot then disconnected early stopping any chance of a comeback play.

 

[jamesphantomjt]

literally all of my matches are stomps. I'm initiate 3 and my there is always someone with 30 kills in the enemy team while I'm matched with actual noobs like me? I could understand if it was my region (south africa) not having enough people to put into a match and it being uneven (Sorta) but when its late at night I get put into eu where there is definitely enough players. I cannot understand why this happens OVER AND OVER consistently when I never get the crazy fed graves or demon boy? I'm not claiming to be good but I think I understand the game a bit better than my teammates too who seem to actually be 2 games in.... plz fix, game will never be big if good players are always matched against noobs and get stomped every single round for weeks, really about to quit

Sick game guys.

This was a solo-queue match where the opposing team had 51 kills to my team's 9. It felt like our team was completely disorganized and inattentive to objectives while their team actually was coordinated and aware of what objectives they should prioritize (sinners, walkers, urn, etc.). Match ended with literally the entire opposing team on fire after 22 minutes and a steep soul deficit. Deadlock is very fun, but no comeback mechanic can do enough when one team is seemingly worse in every facet of the game -- this was a frustrating 20 minutes.

One smurf in the other team, Calico and overall their team had way higher mmr if you go by 3rd party sites. There is no other way to know. Also Haze was American on EU servers and he just fed. I am Wraith.

I'm pretty sure the enemy Pocket came from at least 2-3 tiers above Initiate.
They outfarmed the entire lobby after about 20 minutes and proceeded to carry the entire game even with 2 disconnects on their team. We only won because of a backdoor.

Solo queued in Initiate 1. Don't know if the team I played was stacked but it was the most coordinated team play I've ever played against in initiate 1 lmao

This is definitely a completely legitimate, organically formed team and not just a stack of smurfs shitting up the game for everybody else.

Come on, Valve. Allowing this is just shameful. I've already run into one Piss. Now I get to play against Piss 2. Your game is overrun by smurfs and you're ignoring it.

4man stack in the enemy team that are abusing new accounts to get around the mmr. Also Infernus is probably aim cheating.

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198729189748/ Mirage - new account with around 80% winrate
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199825299300/ Abrams
https://steamcommunity.com/id/akmadrr/ Infernus - very suspect stats

How was I in matchmaking for sub 2 minutes to get this match? Like stop widen the queue times. I'd rather sit in queue for way longer to away these matches OR maybe toss a 6stack vs. these 4stacks so they stop abusing the mmr system.

You don’t have a forum for patch feedback, so I’m posting it here.

1. Something seems to have changed over the last couple of weeks. My win rate dropped to 10%, and my team loses every lane in almost every game. Did something change in the matchmaking?
2. Dynamo feels too nerfed. The range of his first ability is extremely short without the T3 upgrade.
3. The healing from Dynamo’s third ability also feels too weak. It’s not even about the amount of healing — please allow sliding, shooting, and casting at any level, not only at T3. You don’t prevent characters from sliding and shooting while they have shields, so why is Dynamo so restricted and lacking basic capabilities?
