Match ID: 71625218
Played in a game with a very obvious smurf. He went 26-1 on Drifter in a ~24 minute match. I did some digging and according to his Statlocker (https://statlocker.gg/profile/902958236/matches ; https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198863223964) he has only played 6 standard matches so far. What was even more odd was he's played on the same team as another player from that game (https://statlocker.gg/profile/844721335/matches ; https://steamcommunity.com/id/katayune/) for the past several games. It became clear to me and my friends that this person is smurfing to boost their friend up (as the two of them are friends on Steam).
After some additional research I managed to come across the smurfer's main account (https://statlocker.gg/profile/290288776/matches ; https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198250554504) after doing some searching through the friends list of the person being boosted (the smurfer's friends list, was of course, private). The smurfer's main account is currently Eternus II and ranked #469 NA. Nowhere near the skill level of an Ascendent I/II lobby. To add some additional evidence, the person being boosted is friends with both the smurfer's main account and smurf account.
It's in my opinion that all three of these accounts should be permanently suspended from the Deadlock playtest for violating the integrity of matchmaking by forcibly creating bad matches. Hopefully @Yoshi sees this post and does what needs to be done to ensure the matchmaking experience is fun for all involved.
Attached are some screenshots of the evidence:

Holy fucking hell was this game bullshit. The sinclair did fucking nothing, feel bad for them because they were on a big losing streak. The abrams and apollo were absolutely fucking busted, come to find out they were on a massive win streak. The abrams specifically won the past 10 games straight. I've been getting around maybe a bit under 50% winrate but the ONE fucking time I carry I get put into this bullshit game.
YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR FUCKING MATCHMAKING!
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT AND CLEARLY SO IS EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL LEAVING!

This is how all Valve games are. They simply don't care to have proper anticheat or moderation. You either accept that cheaters get free reign for months or years between bans, or you stop playing Valve games.

This game was particularly bad. The enemy Viscous was nearly unstoppable in every way. He would routinely solo 3 or 4 of our players. He was quite clearly a smurf from a higher rank that wanted to practice viscous against lowbies. I had two friends who haven't played in a while with me. It was my very first game on Mirage. The game felt incredibly unbalanced. While the Viscous on the enemy team did nearly 250k damage, our silver did 7.2k damage in a 52 minute game. This is obviously just completely egregious right?

Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I had a match last night where the enemy team was blatanly stalling the game to prevent everyone from my team from leaving - match ID 71546483. We had already lost the game at about 30 minutes in and from there all but one of the enemy team stopped trying to win the game, several times they killed almost all of us in our base then backed out instead of hittin the patron. Match ended up being just over 2 hours long, this is the worst experience ive ever had in a multiplayer game and I think there needs to be some kind of feature to prevent this from happening/ some kind of punishment for the people on the enemy team.
(my build is strange in the screenshot as I had enough money to rebuy all items and i was trying to figure out the worst mirage build possible)

GOOD!!!!!! GOLDEN, GUYS. The average "phantom/oracle" player after all your slight "rank buffs". Idk how the dude even got to this rank! He either bought an account or you have just buffed him to this rank! Ranking up low rank players for nothing was such a great idea! Its like signing a random dude from my MMA gym against Khabib Nurmagomedov just because WHY NOT? There is just NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION WHY WOULD YOU PROVIDE THOSE "slight rank changes"!!!

What's going to happen?!!! Investigate the situation!! This has gone too far! Is my account shadowbanned or what? In 90% of these games, I'm the MVP or the key player!

I managed to beat Wraith even with fewer resources. The rest of these trashes can't even win a fair fight under the tower. Matchmaking is absolute dogshit.
