Bad Matchmaking Thread

Hi I'm playing from Japan but the game keeps sending me to NA/RU or Singapore server.
It's unplayable on 200+ ping so I'm forced to DC, and I just got 24h ban.
Can we have a setting or something to limit the matchmaking to certain servers?
Also can you unban me because I don't think I deserve a ban for not wanting to play a match on 200ping with everyone including me is teleporting around taking 5sec to buy an item.

You can use cs2 server picker from github afaik.

No words other than played well in lane, just to later find continuous failed team fights with huge skill differences being very apparent.

I should not be getting paired into games with this bad micro and macro after 400 hours logged in the game. I am the least cocky person in the world and don't think I am amazing, but I spend a lot of time learning my hero/the macro of the game.

I am constantly getting punished with matches like this and it takes away any sense of agency in improving. What is the point

连续两把游戏都是比我等级高的对局 !
I've been matched with opponents of higher levels in two consecutive games!

suddenly every eternus lobby is filled with 3+ people who die 10 times in 15 minutes on either side. unplayable. combined with the new patch it went from a great game with awful matchmaking to an overall awful game.
 
Match ID: 66910719.

I had an extremely bad gaming experience in this match. The enemy Infernus could hit my head without even aiming properly. This was not a skill gap; cheats completely ruined my gaming experienc
 
All of my matches so far have been complete steamrolls and stomps. I've been paired against smurfs while having teammates that have no idea what they're doing whatsoever, which often leads to one-sided losses, causing me to rank down constantly. It also doesn't help that I have double negative arrows on every hero I've played so far.
I know I'm a relatively new player, but as a Seeker II player with almost 40 hours in the game, stuff like this shouldn't happen in low ELO lobbies.
I really love Deadlock, but the matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired.
 
Street brawl matches in the past day or two, have been filling the lobbies with people in lower ranks with me who's ascendant V and they've just been stomps. Before matches were really only phantom, ascendant, and eternus players. The queues were definitely longer before but now I feel bad going into games where im smurfing without being on a smurf.

Yeah I mean it’s already been said but I’ll add it to the pile.

Ranked up to Em 6 with the rank adjustments and since I suspect I’m about 30% wr. I am always a passenger either getting carried to a win or just getting straight demolished. I keep playing in the hope of ranking down to my skill level, but I simply haven’t deranked at all.

Pretty miserable experience.
 
Today, the average rank in my recent matches dropped significantly. I played 2 games at my actual rank (66908686 archont 5vs6, 66917230 archont 5vs5) me was archont 5 at that moment , and then the matchmaking put me 5-6 ranks lower lobby for the next 2 games (66927794, 66935627) I'm archont 4 now. From what I can see, I'm not the only one having this issue

It’s really weird and unfair. You or the enemy team can easily get low-rank teammates, and to make it worse, if you don't hard carry in these matches, you drop rank super fast because the game assumes you played badly for an Emissary 5

I'm curious to know if I can apply to be removed from the shadowpool. Worst games I've had in the long time, although given the state of matchmaking... that's probably not that long of a time.

66870445: 0/11 Calico, losing my lane and helping the enemies to snowball. Literally what can I do when the dude runs it down starting min 1?

66875886: next game, two clowns on the yellow lane just feed starting from the first minute. NOTE: THEY ARE PARTY QUEUING. `mm_prefer_solo_only` flag just stopped working after one of the updates. We tryhard but we literally can't carry two dudes relentlessly feeding.

66881132: Next game two feeding dudes are on the enemy team. SUDDENLY THEY'RE PLAYING LIKE PRO PLAYERS? Total draft failure as well, they get broken Wraith + Viscous who carry the game while I have Graves and Shiv dying thirty one time just for the love of the game. And 25 deaths total on Paige + Billy, like WHAT am I supposed to do to outcarry 56 gifted deaths? Like idk why me & lash are in this game, 2 of us literally can't carry 4 other subhumans.

then I had literally one normal game and the cycle continues

66897325: I don't know how to describe the atrocious blue lane. Wraith buys egg as a first item, feeds, stands afk hitting creeps, watches drifter dive me under walker, waits for me to die, finally ults drifter under walker, walker kills drifter, wraith picks up my souls. And this shit ends in 25 minutes because dying 21 times in 25 minutes seems to be the concept of fun for the blue duo.

66902738: yep another wraith player who keeps disconnecting and generally stands afk watching everyone trying to do their best. we lose because we're playing 5v6 most of the time, icing on the cake is endless Doorman bugs where I end up in limbo between doors, and getting hit by stuff during Mina's iframes. Which is not fun and basically kills your game on a coin toss.

66912231: I lock in and try to carry against all odds. Mo ends up getting the kills on the lane but I make them happen, going 8-2, top souls/top DMG. My Mo fucking disconnects and the game is over. Yeah at this point I just want to uninstall.

66916474: again I get my grey priority hero, whatever, I'll play anyway; then my green lane goes 0/9 and 2/10; they are either new players somehow or a bots piloted by chatgpt. I play atrociously (since it's my low prio hero) but end up with top damage and top kills anyway because everyone else plays beyond atrocious. Game drags on but finally ends.

second remotely decent game. a literal miracle.

66938568: I am once again graced with another cis party that somehow gets my high prio hero while I'm delegated to another low prio hero. His "party mate" ends up going 0/11 and then 3/15, which is very fucking fun to play with and definitely not the reason I prefer to solo queue, IF ONLY THIS FLAG WORKED. Anyway despite the best effort of the rest of 4 players we end up losing in 27 minutes.

To sum up: I beg you please fix the `mm_prefer_solo_only` because it made the games at least tiny bit better, without cis deadinsides dragging their deadweight mates into the game to ruin it together. Is 5 abysmally horrible games a must to get one decent one? Or is there a shadow pool I'm a part of?

The only way to win seems to be to stop playing at all. Which is a shame. Cool game
 
the games when there was no real matchmaking were way better than whatever this is since the new update. i didnt know it could get worse than it used to be
