The devs either have a terrible sense of humor or have never played an online game in their lives))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
How am I supposed to play support when they feed instantly but blame me the moment I try to shot-call? Genius matchmaking, thanks a lot)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


ps
But seriously, it’s not even funny
People have been pointing out this problem for so long, and yet nothing is being done. I’m afraid that with this approach, the game is going to end up worse than Dota

Thanks for ignoring my reports when I’m literally reporting people who don't belong in this rank. Welcome to Dota 3, I guess

bro, or girl. whatever you are. who cares you're making no good points. there's a million ways to get doxxed. adding one more wouldn't hurt.

you're insane tbh and I hope you learn and grow from your mistakes

At least you won and got MVP and key player in most of these matches.

Can you like start actually banning people for smurfing?

My team had a Seven, Wraith, Venator, Warden, Ivy, and Lash. MM should not queue 4 gun carries together, I'd rather wait 3 hours for a game than deal with that again

I'm don't really notice a matchmaking problem, but I am a relatively new player with 45 games won out of 133 games played and I'm an Emissary rank. The rank does fluctuate after wins/losses but I don't want to play anymore when I get stomped every single match and consistently come in last in the scoreboards

I've been getting sandbagged for DAYS in Arcanist. went from 5 to 1 in 2 days. i keep waiting 5-10 min for a game then gettign matched with people who don't know their heros, ignore comms, pings and the minimap, feeding. meanwhile the enemy team is filled with meta heros and builds to the point we are losing 6v5s. whatever happened in this past update absolutely NUKED the game search with longer wait times and giving more unfair matches.

I thought this match was unfair since there was a major rank difference in the teams. Mine was Archon 3 and theirs was Archon 5. Also did not seem to make sense to put me in a match with Archons when I'm Oracle 1. If it was Archon 6 it makes sense to match.

They took all three guardians before we got any. I really love this game, but this kind of stuff makes me not what to play it

I think the matchmaking is good honestly, obviously it could always improve just like everything else.
This might be controversial, but ever since cod 2019, SBMM/Matchmaking has been a topic of discussion for every new game.
We've all heard the arguments for and against it. But gamers and pro-gamer devs have yet to really make it their own.
It would be so cool if Deadlock/Valve were to be the first to implement a highly customizable matchmaking system. A server browser matchmaking hybrid.

I'm currently 25 and living in the US. when I sit down at my station to game, I want to enjoy it the way I want to enjoy it. So much freedom and fun has been taken from gaming. If it were up to me, I would only game with people my age who game on PC that are living around my area. I'm talking about custom matchmaking baby. something only valve can do. let us customize our experience.

Matchmaking toggle options:
*age (I would set this to people born 1997-2004)
*platform (I would only game with PC havers)
*input device (mouse and key)
*gender
*area/country (toggle on or off specific nearby states or countries)
*and more!!!

i'm sure matchmaking systems already consider peoples playing activity (when ppl play and for how long)
I've never seen anyone discuss anything like this ever. 99% of matchmaking systems suck, at least give us some options/customizability. I find the open source stuff cringe, but some transparency in this area would be fucking awesome.

Matchmaking doesn't just have to be about saving noobs from no-lifers, or about balance.
Give gamers something...

I hope this is just a really well put together troll. On the off-chance it's not, I will take this seriously.

Let's analyze even just one of these points. GENDER.

Nobody can even agree on how many genders there are. It would be a nightmare to implement and it would create unnecessary drama. Besides, giving people who can barely hold back from saying slurs at their own teammates the choice to be against only a certain gender would be an all-around terrible idea. This alone shows you have not thought this through properly. Not good.

And don't even get me started on age. Horrible, terrible, awful idea.

I do like the idea of having a bit more control over matchmaking though. The ability to ban a couple more heroes or simply having the ability to actually guarantee which hero you get at any time (both with the tradeoff being naturally longer queues) would be nice and I don't think it'd completely break the queues.

Hell, the ability to queue up unranked would be incredible. Street Brawl is nice, but I kinda just wanna be able to play the main gamemode without getting flamed for trying a new character. Ability to choose servers would be awesome also as I have friends from different continents and some of them don't have a good enough connection to afford connecting to certain servers. It makes playing with them impossible unless I manually ban connection to all other servers than the one they're closest to using external software.

An entire team with lockdown abilities vs a coughing baby.

What the actual fuck is this foul character matchmaking?

Please give us pick and bans.

Vindicta and Shiv are smurfs. Super fun and balanced matchmaking.

 

[matthiasm.strunk]

68652425 and 68570167

both of these matches forced me into incredibly high ping games 130+ both europe and brazil, the first one also had a bug abusing victor in it, spamming his 1st ability at the start of game. it would mean a lot to hear anything about how matchmaking actually functions, my w/l ratio isn't even "good" i dont know why the game forced me into a high ping match.

Completely unwinnable game SOLELY due to character matchmaking.
Any fun that remained in this game prior to the dogshit balancing update has been sucked out and replaced by this trash.


Should have known Icefraud would fuck it up again.

 

[eNJay]
