Yet again, a full team with almost no deaths just wiping the floor completely with my team. I have no idea how matchmaking is this broken. I have never played a game with worse matchmaking in my life

The usual - other team does more damage than they should, gets 40% more souls, nothing we could ever have done. Please fix your matchmaking, all the nonsensical interactions, and the broken balance

No chance in hell this is even close to balanced

something went very, very wrong here. Both teams were filled with many players who seemed lost or didn't know how to play, while the hidden king team had three who were leaps and bounds beyond anything the rest of the lobby was doing. 68050317

Geist ran it down super early. Fed the Warden. Mo and Kelvin fed Celeste and Billy on the lane. Game was doomed from like ~10 minutes in. Start banning these people that just outright grief.

Also it looks like Billy is a smurf.

seriously what the fuck is this shit, the vindicta is a CLEAR smurf, 70 hours and ended up 33/7, not to mention the brainless yamato at the beginning

Valve doesn't care. They have never moderated any game they've made. Deadlock is the same and will be a cheater and smurf paradise.

In-game rank summary says that the enemy team was Emissary II while my team was Archon II.

Waited 10 minutes in queue for this and it was extremely unbalanced

Billy is a smurf. Geist and Warden feeding their asses of from a early point in the game. They do not belong in ascendant.

You're going to tell me this is reasonable MM for an Ascendant lobby?

We have an Eternus duo with Ivy/Graves on the opposing team against a Calico player that intentionally buys no items to grief and a Haze going 0-8 in under 12 minutes.

I can see why Street Brawl is starting to become the way to go, as opposed to being trapped in a 30+ minute slog with a bunch of degenerates or boosted accounts.

Israel's strongest matchmaking system. Holy shit that skill disparity for the lobby average is unreal.


I've had several games like that recently where the lobby is mixed from Eternus to low Phantom.

 

[austinboston]

This was from a week or two ago and I know im terrible but none of us got kills while the enemy team were able to get streaks. It's insanely ridiculous to deal with this in street brawl, some so called """casual""" mode.

All our lanes lost. Game heavily snowballed from there.

 

[catillus]

Massive skill disparity two games in a row. Won lane both games but team was so fundamentally clueless it was impossible to win. Why are there what seems like early players in high phantom/ascendant? People who have no concept of macro, working together, getting caught, etc.
