Bad Matchmaking Thread

Loosing nearly every game with players letting walkers go, feeding or not trying to fight- at Archon
feels impossible to play last 2 games 40 min and 3 teammates (at least) being with in 20 k dmg at most.
 
Matchmaking clearly not being in my favour again.

Match ID 66626801
Once again, Eternus II vs Eternus I game. It was clear the Eternus II won from the start when every other lane lost HARD except my lane. Very unpleasant, unfun and unbalanced to play against.

Match lost more or less at draft. Them having multiple extremely overpowered characters (Pocket, Victor, Ivy, McGinnes) who synergize well and our team not having a single synergizing character feels just so damn bad.
 
AT 9 MINS I GET A: "THIS MATCH WILL NOT BE SCORED". Are you kidding me?????!!!! 9 mins??? 9 mins of my life gone because Valve are so retarded, they can't figure out public matchmaking in 2026. What the actual fuck?

Not only overlooking the extremely unpleasant 70k lead on the enemy team, why am I first put in Eternus 3 lobbies, then Ascendant 6 lobbies? This is the third loss in a row where I feel like there was just no chance of coming back because the lobby was uneven from the start; I wouldn't mind if I was consistently put in Eternus I-6 lobbies because I'm Eternus II and I want to improve in the game, putting me in Ascendant lobbies where I feel like I don't belong and have learnt everything I need to learn is just... bleh.

I wouldn't mind waiting a lot longer for better match quality not going to lie.

Can you not put me with the same terrible players for 3 games straight that go over 10 death and do litterally nothing for the whole game?

I know your shitty mm is rigged, but still, mind making it a little LESS obvious?
 
This is what sweats do to games. They figure out how to stomp, create dozens of accounts, and do nothing else all day every day. If you don't ban smurfing this is what you get. It's been an increasing problem in League of Legends and is now ruining Deadlock as well. Sad to see, really. MOBAs can be a lot of fun but they're being obliterated by sweats with nothing better to do with their time.
i have 50% win rate on my main character and more wins than all of my friends in total yet i am perma stuck in initiate and they continuously rank up without getting thrown back into initiate. the matchmaking is totally botched across the board. clearly.
 
New patch has ruined the meta and it trickles down to mm. Gimmicky gameplay changes means huger mismatches. Probably just going to uninstall unless they revert even more.
 
I can let it slide most of the bad games but this probably the worst match i have every played on this game

having such a bad experience with the unfair, unbalanced and awful matchmaking system, not fun neither satisfactory when the skill gap between players is abysmal in 4 games in a row, not forget to mention the ones that gets stomped and go afk and you loose time playing an unfair game of 5 v 6. If you want to people not get frustrated or rage the state of the game please fix the matchmaking, I know matchmaking is not perfect in any existing team based game but at least make it a little more fair.
 
Every few weeks ill come back and play an actual MM game and im instantly reminding how its the worst matchmaking in any game i have ever played and it has to be on purpose because theres no way it can be this bad lol. Calico was 9-0 after lane?

my advice to everyone is just stop playing matchmaking untill they fix it.

Just play streetbrawl its so much easier on the soul then to have to deal with that bullshit that they seem not to care about at all.

Not sure how the matchmaker thought this would ever be an even match. 3 solo eternus players versus a single eternus player with a match average of Eternus IV vs Ascendant 2.

Surely the matchmaker had a chance to put even amounts of eternus players on both teams.

The last three games I've played have put me in lobbies a full rank below me. Codes are:

-663535566
-66746826
-66759338

I was Ascendant 1 in the first game, Phantom 6 in the other two.
