Bad Matchmaking Thread

69022910 again looking at stat tracking websites the losing team had players that on average are the worst in their lobbies. there needs to be some kind of metric based rank adjustment because players that consistently under preform are getting their rank inflated

Billy's 4th game ever. Two games before (aka his 1st and 2nd games) were on Seeker lobbies, 3rd one was on ORACLE 5, then at Archon when we played. Everyone aside from him weren't new.

Eternus 1 vs Ascendant 6, lobby where once again the higher rank won.

Please stop giving these clear rank difference games, it's clear in higher ranks the divisions actually matter a lot more than in lower ranks so I'd rather wait a bit longer to get a more even lobby than be stomped and steamrolled like this.

Infernus and Rem are bots. No other way. Passively sucking farm from the whole team whilst doing nothing useful.

The three on my team that had 11 deaths each, should not be in an Arcanist V game. I'm Ritualist IV, why am I getting these people?

Match 69137584. It was an ascendent 3 lobby, all solos. Our team had a rem that was archon / emissary, in an ascendent solo lobby. I dont understand how a solo archon player ends up in ascendent 3. There is something seriously wrong with match making for this to happen, there are plenty of players in NA to fill the lobby with ascendent players.

Once again im back here and ill be here every single time. This is atrocious! No way this game is gonna survive with a MM like this. There will be a time when people will get tired of this bullshit

Rem had twice the souls as everyone else. the Wraith was an absolute pain in the ass to deal with let alone this fucking Rem.

After winning mid lane in under 6 minutes my teammates in the opposing lanes go a collective 0-32 under 15 minutes and the game is effectively over.
Truly dogshit matchmaking and a waste of everyone's time.

My lane partner goes 0-9 in lane and dies almost instantly the second he gets off the line each time.

Opposing sidelane goes a collective 0-16 prior to 12 minutes.

These games are pure hell and should never populate. In other fun MM imposed Hell the opposing team was a SIX STACK against all solo queue players.

There truly is no hope for this game's MM system at this point. The game is intrinsically fucked.

I'm getting Archon and Ritualist players in Ascendant V - Eternus 2 games on a consistent basis.

There is no matchmaking outside of a true winners/losers queue.

match 69135485; match 69122944: Playing against new accounts that are somehow key player or mvp every game back to back. Must be coincidence. Lately every game is somehow like this, its just not fun if the game is decided by the better smurf every game.

Does Deadlock really have a bad matchmaking problem or is it snowballing that's the real problem? If a duo is fed, it's game over.

I feel like I've had a few of these, in both directions, but this recent game where I lost inspired me to go look for this post: 69162111. Two where I won were also pretty badly matched: 68526271, 68574929. Generally I would say matchmaking is all over the place, which is understandable by me, considering it's a beta, but I feel like games rarely feel balanced, from a matchmaking perspective. When they do games are really great but there is very little consistency game to game as to the quality, game knowledge, and mechanical skill of players, having started in initiate 1 and gotten to Arcanist V. I have games in this rank that are less competitive than games in Initiate I. Generally it feels like many games are stomps, in one direction or the other. Truly competitive games feel rare, but even if they aren't, the one-sided games stick out.

This game truly is just bad. Every time I play it's just a shit stomp. Maybe 1 in 25 matches is an actually decent game. Literally googling "deadlock game matchmaking" and the AI response always mentions the "controversial matchmaking" reputation Deadlock - an alpha game - already has. This group of has-beens that are making this game just want to keep buffing and nerfing swift striker for the umpteenth time from 18% fire rate to 20% fire rate and vice versa. I am so tired of reading that shit.

It's also great to know that the ban hero button doesn't work and the competitive matchmaking on/off button doesn't work.

this pointless abstraction of feedback doesn't seem to really do anything. The match maker keeps seeing significant drops in quality update after update.
We had quality drop in November and now again in December but this time its now finding ranks significantly lower and higher.
Overall this has lead to SIGNIFICANT degrading of overall match quality to the point where most of the player base is always left saying the same thing "Winning or losing either way is a stomp." the degree of this issue has increased to encompass all ranks.
