Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID 72126862
complete other end of the spectrum from my last post. pocket (in my lane) didnt seem to know what he was doing early on, but pulled it back later.
however, blue was dominated so hard both blue people left, leading to a win in 23 mins

Playing in eu at night time (like 2 am) will 100% always have a smurf,it's either a calssic smurf or someone playing with a friend or boosting someone,it's very obvious from the game history,especially easy now with being able to check ingame quickly in the history instead of statlock or something.

I genuinly can tell immediately by how they play and item build move around the map and what fights they ignore,they also stop fighting at some point just to get strong and become a raid boss or they go for like only fighting heros like calico or yamato and own the lobby.

It's also very obvious they have a smurf and playing with someone when you have a duo in your team and clearly his friend is bad or new and obvious feeding the enemy smurf like crazy and that is supposed to balance it out and make it fair?

Just to name you 1 game (72121557) this game the enemies ALL had low game numbers every single one of them and also the game que was not that long 2-4min for all games

72110448 this one was super obv i asked the Haze and he didn't say anything based on how he aimed at buying unstop super early i knew 100% he was a smurf


Pls Devs do something at least punish them after the game releases,i play late because that's the time i usually only can play but not only is the MM bad but i get always 1 smurf in the enemy team that is feed min 8

For example this game (72090992) was just bad and my Kelvin refusing to buy counter items untill the very end when he finally did it way to late,there should be a algorith to detect if someone actually buys counter items or support items,i was not able to play vs that enemy comp

Out of the blue, over the last 2 days, I went from getting regularly useful teammates in my rank (oracle), to just consistently getting people 2 ranks below me, and its consistently people who are much worse than the people I was getting two days ago consistently. I went from a very stable above %50 winrate to barely %30 over the last 2 days.

Frequent stuttering in game didn't help but I was playing with 4 friends here. Out team ranking was apparently archon 5 and the enemies archon 6 but the match sort've just felt hopeless. Every lane was losing, I even swapped with a friend to try to help a different lane. The enemies felt like they just deathballed all over the map and we couldn't do anything about it. We did have 1 newer player to the game but it wasn't just because of that, it just felt sort've doomed from the very beginning, doorman and rem constantly just being able to walk into our jungle and take all the sinners for free, we couldn't even punish the rem for it because we didn't have enough damage to kill him because we were so behind.

The amount of matches with smurfs/cheaters in this on Oracle on South American server make this game impossible to play

 

[Aishve Iorah]

In street bawl.

I just want to say how badly items sometimes and letting low rank players get better items.. its kinda boring if they want you to intentionally lose.

Had an atrocious losing streak today after winning the majority of my games for the past 3 days.

72103727 - 4 teammates genuinely struggled with macro. One teammate was stoned during the game and just kept running in to die.
72111700 - Similar macro struggle, my teammates would farm camps right next to a walker as it was getting pushed in by troopers.
72126504 - The Apollo I laned with would go in with half HP against full HP enemies
72144204 - The worst game I had today, we were 0-15 kills by 12 mins. I asked what rank everyone was and the answers I got were Ascendent 1-2, but I'm Ascendent 5 (or was, before this losing streak)
72158365 - 2 teammates who just didn't know what any calls mean. I told them to catch waves and they didn't know what that meant. Same with terms like "macro" and "priority"

I know that matchmaking isn't always fair but I genuinely had no agency in these games. More often than not my teammates played like they were still learning the game, while my enemies were playing at my level.

It genuinely seemed like the matchmaking queued me up with players at the lower end of Ascendent, and expected me to carry them.

The lash is live streaming himself right now saying his main is Eternus 6. The account he used in that match has only 10 matches at the time of this post. I think he is on call with the Mo and Krill from that match, but I do not speak portugese.

Mo and Krill / Lash were straight up Eternus smurfs with little to no matches on those accounts. I just straight up abandoned the match.


the guy who played lash even streams himself smurfing

i'm done

72174660 this is after a 5 game loss streak. I'm the only decent player on the team and the game kill whys goes 51 to 12. the average rank for both teams are Ritualist 4 while I was emissary 5. I just have not been understanding the matchmaking at all the skill rating says on the three heros I play Im above the skill of my rank but keeps putting me with players who just hard feed the whole game while I'm the only one who can mange to get key player on my team. I will list the previous matches of this lose streak.

Every Valve game is like this unfortunately. They can afford to have proper anti-cheat and smurf detection with punishment but they don't because they do not care.

Valve has been hands off in every game they've ever made in the past 20+ years. Deadlock will be filled with smurfs/cheaters/bots/griefers just like every other Valve game.

They do ban waves in dota, though.
I recall that frostivus where they sent out coal as a memento after banning people for smurfing.

Either a 4 or 6 stack. Coordinated ganks mid. Rotations. Everything. I can't check to be 100% sure because you disabled that option on all the stat trackers. Strict solo queue when?

Also looks like the Celeste is a smurf and/or is playing with boosters or other smurfs.

Mason has been banned many times. But he's still playing dota. Valve doesn't give a fuck my man. Cheaters and smurfs just make new accounts and go again and Valve lets them.

Late night NA game that was completely miserable. ID: 72179793

Both teams labelled as oracle 1 but it didn't feel like it at all. I was already struggling due to a terrible lane and could not take advantage of any comeback mechanics without the support of my team. Only my Vyper was sort of on top of things. The rest of the team flat out ignored waves that were nearby or even that they were directly on top of. The enemy team were extremely coordinated and roamed in groups to gank and at no point did my team respond to my pings to push open lanes. None of the rest of my team had counter items, but some of the enemy team did.

I don't think this percentage based rank system is working when people who are unaware of the most fundamental part of macro are put into an oracle game.
