Bad Matchmaking Thread

[mickeymo1985]

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?

Trio of Oracle players in my team and I'm playing against 1 Eternus 2 player, 4 Ascendant players and 1 phantom 6 player

That seems fair

65K soul difference. 36 to 9 kills. 36 minute game.

Two of the most obvious smurfs I have ever seen duoing and rolling the game.

This is so much fun. I definitely queue up to get REPEATEDLY STOMPED BY SMURFS.

How have you not learned yet? Valve doesn't care. They simply allow cheaters and smurfs to freely play. Valve does not moderate their games.

Development might be outsourced to cheapest 3rd world country that just codes by the book and never playtests

But yeah it is odd how bad matchmaking is / able to adjust despite the fact that they actually rolled out some patch recently that should have improved it.

For me past 2 days = either roll over or being rolled over. Alchemist 5 + option "extra competitive" = half of the games I have at least 2 people that have 0 clue how to play the game and should be in like bot lobbies instead of my rank if rank is even taken into consideration atm...which I doubt / you still get promoted even when losing...so ranked means not much anyway In any case something is way off atm.

They're treading a very fine line imo - the state of the game for the last month has me wanting to put the game down and never fucking pick it up again. Ranks are fucking meaningless, I'd expect more from literal fucking animals sitting at the keyboard.

Yoshi fix your fucking game. This is pathetic at this point. It is no longer a competitive experience, it's a dice roll of which team gets the greater majority of retards.

you guys gotta tighten up your anti-cheats man @Yoshi. Here is a wraith cheater for you that I found. The wraith is literally just soft aim botting. I checked his match history, well what do you know. 2L in the past 32GAMES. In the clip, you can see in 0.5x speed how wraith immedieately locks in on seven's head no miss then when is pulled back by doorman, instant headshot and wow look at that capacitor shot, literally flicked so accurately to land on the head to finish him off.
I WILL COME BACK TOMORROW TO SEE IF HE'S STILL PLAYING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR ANTI-CHEAT

Notice how his games end in 20 minutes? You can go into each of his matches and you'll always see he has the most damage, most kills, 0 deaths. Maximum deaths he went is 2 BTW.

What the hell is happening? I keep getting either new plaeyrs or players who have hit their heads. I am not sure what to do, the experience is very much unenjoyable. Feels like I am back to the beginning of League of Legends back in like 2013-2014.

Guy plainly states he is smurfing and griefs our game 100% on purpose. Also started calling me slurs and yelling in vc when called out.

It even says smurf on his steam account.

I'm sick of people like this in my games, and it's why I hardly play matchmaking anymore. I'd rather play pugs in a Discord server where I know I won't have to deal with people like this, or at least that they will be banned for such behavior.


Please, if someone from Valve is reading this, take more action against people like this. And please, please notify us when action is taken.

I genuinely don't think people like this deserve even to play this game.

66411984 ranks need to be adjusted based on how people are actually doing in their matches, not just wins and losses. 3 players on one team who don't even know they're playing a moba in oracle is insane
