Update to this post, another matchID another ridiculous stomp on a "Archon VI" game
70791479
55 kills to 15 kills is beyond insane and its tilting me to the point i cant even play normally now, impossibly hard to not run it down or scream at your teammates
That calico is a chronic int'er aswell. No clue how the fuck they manage to stay oracle-phantom games when anytime they were in my games or others, be it enemy or teammate they are always inting. Yet somehow their MM or whatever the hell still stays strong enough to be in these games?
Why does Initiate-Arcanist Ranks exist? Just make everyone start at oracle, Dump the rest of the ranks so its just oracle to eternus atp

I'm a support player, and I sincerely don't understand why there's still no distinction between party and solo matchmaking. I just sit on the same rating, playing either with a party of strong players or with a party of weak players. As a result, my win rate is 50%. Please make the obvious, necessary changes:
1. Separate solo and party matchmaking.
2. Separate the search by role. (Matches are often lost because there are either no carries or most of them. It's just pure randomness.)
3. Remove the choice of 3 heroes. (This is the most idiotic decision I've ever seen in a game. Maybe it made sense when heroes were scarce, but that's no longer the case. A huge percentage of players want to play one hero and are willing to spend a long time searching for a game just to get it. Why force them to play someone they don't want? During the new hero events, I lost dozens of games because people picked Bebop and Haze, ran around with a negative score, and whined about not wanting to play them, but rather to have a better chance of picking the hero they really wanted. Right now, in my opinion, there are quite a lot of heroes; choosing from 3 heroes is a completely unnecessary feature.
4. Picking heroes one at a time after the game starts is uncommon. Losing lanes or difficult situations often result from your hero being counter-picked accidentally. People don't have the opportunity to think and choose the best option for a specific game and opponent; everything comes down to luck. In competitive games, even in a casual pub, this is unacceptable.
I understand that the next patch will change matchmaking. I sincerely hope to see these 4 points, because this is the minimum necessary base at this stage of the game's development.

where have you heard this
MatchID: 70835025
16 minute loss on Hidden King
Walker down by 6 minutes, team completely refuses to communicate, in fact does the exact opposite of whats told.
One player ragequits
Other two scream into the mic nonstop
Beyond ridiculous for a game your system flags as "Oracle 1"
Two accounts are straight up fresh, level 1-10 steam profile with like 2-3 games, clearly bought/smurfed account or whatever the hell and its just torturous to experience this shit

Yeah like at this point trying to play in Ascendant is a literal fucking joke.
Pinnacle of current matchmaking, nothing beats that.
HK team has 3 blatant smurfs on fresh accounts: #1, #2 and #3, each profile is private but I assure you, all them are level 1 profiles with 2 games on them and 1-2 friends and 30-50h in deadlock already griefing games in Ascendant. Must be very talented new players.
One team has 3 smurfs. Other team (my team) has 0, all legit, normal players.
What's the takeaway here?
All good cause I'm not in the smurf-pool since my whole team is legit?
"State mandated loss" because all my team is legit while they have 3 smurfs?
We are all in smurf pool for some fucking reason and it's my turn to lose?
Or there's just no shadow pool, no smurf pool and the whole system is this atrociously bad?
How hard is that to simply check that if an account has >90% winrate this is NOT A NEW PLAYER? THIS IS A SMURFING SUBHUMAN HERE TO RUIN THE PLAYTEST FOR OTHERS.
My friends have stayed away from "normal" matches for as long as Brawl exists, I used to play solo, but I think I'm sticking to brawl as well and better yet, to other games that respect player's time. "Normal" matchmaking is hardly normal and hardly "matchmaking" because meaning of this word is so far removed from what happens in Deadlock, it doesn't even resemble a joke.
Any mood to post improvement suggestions, bugs or character concepts is completely dead from the matches like this. I'll check up on this game when and if open beta happens.
