Bad Matchmaking Thread

A casual reminder that you need to put people who are ABOVE AVERAGE in archon, not the brand new players you picked up off the street, why is that so hard for you to understand?

This mcginness and calico duo? trio? full stack? went 14-0 and 8-0, destroying the entire lobby effortlessly.

How did the matchmaker even allow them in this game? Can we PLEASE, please get an actual solo queue? This is becoming absolute torture.
 
3 new players in party got into the game that 20k gapped on min 20, and 65k on min 30.
3 of the players on the opposing team died less than 2 times while getting more than 10 kills (one of them played 16/2 and others 13/1 and 10/2)

Match ID is 68722194
 
literally just have a worst day in a month, all i want is just want to have fun an have a win to release the stress

My Kelvin farmed all game and had 0 objective damage. He said he had no clue on what he could do better. How about push an objective for start or help your team instead of farming all game, 0 objective damage is actually crazy. Wraith had 0 objective damage too and didn't farm at all. These teammates cannot be real, yet they are in my matches like 50% of the time. They don't even understand the heros role that they are playing, yet they are ascendant. This was 100% an unwinnable game from the start. Our comp vs their comp, my teammates going negative and feeding. No one wants to play matches like this. It's a shame Deadlock is a great game, but matches like this have made me play this game a lot less recently.

My last two games, honestly @Yoshi the game is just giving me the same vibes as League and Valorant, games that I went far but ended up quitting because in the end, the DEVS showed they couldn't care less about fixing the matchmaking. I don't doubt that you want a successful PRODUCT but think of the people. Like I am sure that coding wise it wouldn't be difficult to put accounts on a certain amount of hours with each other. I am getting people with 1-2 hours players that have no clue what they're doing. I can't carry, I can't win, I can't have fun.

Please, fix the matchmaking. Put new player with new players... Not saying good or bad here, new. I have plenty of situations where i have teamates that was not supposed to be here, maybe they were playing their firrst match ever. Im not even close to being decent at this game (Only 120 hrs), but im not clueless or have ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE WITH MOBAS IN GENERAL or never even aimed in a shooting game ever. Its not fun even when i win! Theres no glory because the stress and rage of having 3-4 teamates 1/13/0 (emphasis on the 0 assists). Our base is getting obliterated by minions and the guy is in the jungle NOT EVEN FARMING/KILLING JUNGLE CAMPS!!! LIKE, WHAT THE ACTUAL F***?!?! THIS HAPPENED IN MY LAST GAME AND THIS "CREATURE" CALLED ME MONKEY (????????????) VALVE FIX PLEASE?!

I really like this game, i like playing against better players for the experience to learn something from the situation. HOWEVER, ITS NO FUN WHEN I GET MATCHED AGAINST A SMURF ON THE ENEMY AND I HAVE 4 COMPLETELY CLUELESS PERSONS IN MY TEAM!!!

PUT
NEW
PLAYERS
WITH
NEW
PLAYERS

EDIT.: JUST HAD A GAME, A "MARVELOUS" ONE HOLY SHIT LOOK AT MY TEAM AND THE ENEMY'S!! everyone except me is negative, and only one isnt by a MASSIVE MARGIN!

I don't wanna just keep beating a dead horse here, but I think I've hit the wall. I've deranked from Oracle 1 to Archon 4. And while some games were better. This one is just simply an issue of brand new players vs those that have played this game for ages. Rank doesn't matter in the long run, but I like pushing myself to improve and striving to do better. But at this point, I sadly just can't do that. Since march patch I can barely get a game as Ivy where my team works together at all, and I do like her changes, and I can't get a game as Victor where I don't have to lane guard the entire match. As always winning and losing is par for the course. But more and more, I just see my team without the skill or knowledge which I'd expect at my rank bracket, continually dive, feed, not know the games micro and macro, other players try to be nice about half the team not knowing what to do or straight up crashing out about it. Toxicity has gone down, which is nice, but I really wanted to try and push myself to Phantom or mid Oracle. I just don't see that happening in the games current state where I put in 80 to 100 percent every game and I watch my team do nothing. For sure, I don't do amazingly every game, hence why I don't think or even aim to be ascendant or eternus level, but damn if I don't try and I just feel like I'm being punished for doing so. For now, I'm done. Taking a break for a week at least and uninstalling. Hope to see some changes. Match ID: 68737403. Thanks for reading, and hopefully I see you all out there again when things get better.

I expect one-sided games, that's the nature of the genre, but this is probably the single worst game of Deadlock I've ever had - ended with almost a 50-3 kill disparity. Not sure if the issue was a 6-stack or smurfs or just a bad roll of the dice.

Games that are this one-sided going on for even 30 minutes feels really really rough. If you are going to be trapped in these for at least 25m even against an enemy team that takes midboss early and does try to end, it would be nice for there to be more robust comeback mechanics in the case of extreme disadvantage where you cannot even claim an advantage urn without getting wiped.

My team wasn't playing terribly, people were trying to do urn, get picks etc, but it seemed like there was just a big skill gap (including myself) and once we fell this far behind we couldn't even do urn without getting wiped. Feels like a 0 agency situation where you end up going through the motions for 10+ minutes as a punching bag for the other team.

This is my nth time saying that the matchmaker has a big issue. To anyone who says there's no such thing as matchmaking issue, good for you for being on the other side. Y'all never experience how devastating it is to be matched with highly incompetent teammates, whereas the opponents felt like competition winners, most of the lost matches were completely one-sided, and the it's very obvious, the easiest way to see it is that my opponents had highly positive KDA whereas my team's looked like they only played 2 to 3 matches then got put to my games.1773939596127.png
 
Another unbalanced mess that i had to hard carry, again, because of two underperforming players.
Of course, as usual, the other side doesn't get morons like this.

Seriously, fuck this matchmaking

it wasn't necessarily the most enjoyable experience to be paired against a team draft which consisted of being immobilized/stunned/slept/etc. for 10 seconds to then get nuked in half a second. imho stuns should not last that long in any universe where you can get insta nuked by a deathballing team with insane cc

Average rank Oracle 3 vs Phantom 3.

There's an Eternus player on our team, but everyone else is Oracle to Phantom? Felt awful to play.
