Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Combofied]

I'm pretty sure no matter what you do to the matchmaking system, it wont matter as long as the MMR in this game remains vastly inaccurate. The previous rank "adjustments" to account for new players where for some reason it adjusted people to shoot up entire ranks where they don't belong has only exasperated the problem.

Also, the latest update to MM that happened last night somehow made it even worse than before. Every single game without fail a one-sided stomp, win or lose. Games ending in 27~ish minutes, always a 50k+ soul lead, always multiple people vastly underperforming on one team, never a close game.

I've also had situations where I see I'm queueing at the same time as multiple people on my friends list who are around my rank and instead of putting us together in the same lobby, it splits all of us up into different lower-elo lobbies (even though we all have different hero pools)



I could go on and on with these screenshots, not a single game today has felt fair or fun, win or lose. I can count on two hands the amount of "close, quality games" that I've had in the past two months.

As soon as I join a lobby I can basically predict who will win with great accuracy just by seeing the players names on each team and the drafts.

At this point, how is it possible to queue up and have fun in the game? Genuine question. I don't really smurf, but the matchmaker for the past 2months has really made me understand why people do and many of my friends have expressed the same sentiment.

Even new players are complaining about the matchmaking and I'm afraid of getting my friends into this game because I know they will not have a good time for their first ~50 something games until the stomps stop, please do something.

Playing against Kelvin and Ivy on the opponents team is very unfun. Two two stacked together healed so
much.

Mo was ok but didnt't do that much. Very unbalanced lobbies.

Queue also took almost 16 minutes so that's probably why the match kinda unbalanced.

Match 67459780
I have a Ritualist average team while I'm in low Eternus vs an Eternus 1 Paradox and Rem with all other players being high Phantom/Low Ascendant.

This is on a Saturday night in NA. There is no possible way the player pool is this low to create such dogshit matchmaking.

Wraith (Meaowey) is griefing the Archmother by proxying waves in the early game and avoiding team fights. This is in Eternus 6 matchmaking, and the player is on an Alt. Account after being banned for repeat behavior. The Wraith, who goes by Katkooten on Twitch, repeatedly griefs high elo games and plays to lose. Please take action against their account and save eternus matchmaking.

So I recently got into Oracle, and right as I get into Oracle, all my matches turn sour until I'm back down into Archon VI.

And these guys on my team, I swear they do not belong in Oracle. Matchmaking and skill rating is 100% scuffed. They dive into 1v6 fights, trickle into lost team fights, overextend consistently, etc. etc.

They go 3 - 12 in 15-20 minutes of the match...

Honestly I hope Deadlock does a skill rating reset on its release, some of these guys really don't belong in the ranks that they've been placed...

Can we do something about the High ELO NA player, griefer, streamer by the name of KatKooten​

• In this match, KatKooten (Wraith) by the name of Meaowey kills the midboss for the enemy team while we were trying to end the game; intentionally leaves the pit without punching any crystals, the enemy team came a minute later to get all three.
• On another occasion we were trying to end the game as 5, he was the only one in our base to defend downed patron, he was intentionally letting the enemy troopers live and hit our downed patron when he was under no threat.
• Last thing i noticed without watching the replay, is that he held the golden goose egg for 30 minutes and generally did not participate in the game at all except for farming our jungle and donating unsecured souls.

KatKooten has built a bit of a reputation for doing "unorthodox" plays in the lobbies but only recently i would say he is actively trying to prevent his team from winning the game. He has done this for a long time almost all high ELO NA players recognize this player. By the way, he was streaming this match, but he will probably delete his VOD, but I was streaming the match as well, and I will not be taking it down.

Conclusion: I would loveeee to see KatKooten permanently banned from ever playing Deadlock again, hopefully with some means of HWID or something of this nature so that he can not just create a new account as he has in the past when he gets low priority for griefing. I genuinely do not understand what would drive a human to do something like this, our entire team was trying our best to be kind to him, and encourage, even plead for him to try to win the game but to no avail.

Other players in this lobby that can back up my claim and hopefully support my cause are: Lonaw, FSnakes, tanner, danjo, and Shieere.

Valve does not moderate their games. Griefers, smurfs, cheaters, account buyers/sellers, and so on are all allowed by Valves inaction. Every Valve game is like this.

There's a small chance he will get banned by automatic systems if enough people report him, but don't get your hopes up.

playing on archon/oracle lobby recently and i never seen haze playing literally like bot. going to team fights with half% hp. can't even farm correctly, only 14k player damage and can't even last a team fight or a pick off. one person really making the game unwinnable.

fix matchmaking and rank distribution pls. hard to get out of archon with these kind of players.

67413794

can this matchmaking get any worse than this? you put me in an emissary lobby where i always play archon to oracle for the last 10 games and both haze and seven who are supposed to be hyper carries feed all the time and cant even farm correctly nor able to push.

all teammates are relatively lower skill than what their rank is today please fix the rank and matchmaking. please.

My first game being ranked ascendant and I get into a 20 minute game where the seven was calling people the n-word and other slurs. I guess there was some beef from his previous game that I wasn't in, but he throws out some slurs and sits afk in spawn for the rest of the game. I finally ranked up and this is the first experience that I had. Awesome.

Cheater Venator, player name 懒散的二狗 match ID: 67522370. Below are timestamps from the replay for the corresponding suspicious activity that are less ambiguous and less disputable.

Wallhacks guaranteed, maybe parry hacking. Often hits boxes/statues and wall jumps to disguise moments of looking through walls at enemies. He also parties with up to 4 others (5 total) upon checking match history, Graves being in his party this match and a potential accomplice.

11:53 doesn't realize he shoots Vyper through walls
12:19 pre-aims at Rem
13:11 pre-aiming at Vyper
15:31 blatantly tracking Rem
15:46 tracking Billy for 20 sec, uses melee on box and wall jumping to disguise looking
18:22 looks through wall at neutral camp then escapes
20:43 looks at Victor before deciding to engage Vyper
20:47 begins to track Vyper perfectly
23:39 looks at Mina and Billy 3 times before deciding to engage Vyper
25:30 continues tracking Victor for 10 seconds, had been tracking Victor from way way back
29:15 sees a cluster of enemies and decides to change direction
29:49 camera directed at enemies... how convenient
30:54 tracks Holliday
30:59 although he does see Holliday once normally, he then proceeds to follow Holliday accurately through opaque veils for 10 seconds
36:25 looks back at base
36:34 tracks Victor perfectly
39:06 decides to leave after seeing enemy cluster arriving

Surprise surprise, ban recorded on profile 6 years ago...

REM was extremely new, like only basic movements new, barely used abilities, half souls of anyone else at all all game. Ivy was newish but better than REM. Same old problem, new players paired with experienced or at least knowledgeable players.

Great job monitoring the smurfs, do you want your game to fail?
