Bad Matchmaking Thread

I was rank E3 and I get placed back to back A4 games where it's impossible to play with the team, game is over at laning phase.

MID: 73972611
MID: 73983420

Not the first time I've been put in games that average far below my own rank and are completely one sided.

It was a massive stomp but the enemy team knew that and intentionally delayed the end of game. They knew exactly what they were doing, exactly how they wanted to troll, and it's even evidenced in the game chat.

I don't know how long they would have kept all of us in there, so I decided enough was enough and abandoned the match. This also let my teammates leave without penalty, but I sure as heck received one. Why should I be punished for being trolled? Why is there no surrender button? I didn't leave because of our team's performance, I was avoiding someone trolling me, so why should I bear a penalty? I don't think that's fair. I would like that penalty lifted off my account as soon as possible, it isn't right.

Absolutely dreadful game where my team had no idea how to push an advantage and play properly? And I get a silver who went 2-18?

Like I don't understand this match making, I get put with people who don't know basic concepts like pushing together as a team, or grouping up past 30 minutes. When every game I face a silver, she does extremely well, but the moment I get one on my team, and she is completely new to her champion?

Had got into a match with a four stack party and another random. In short, had one AFK in spawn while the rest of the other lanes have gave up guardians and walkers first 6 minutes into the game.

This was an Emissary 6 lobby.

Whole game where the team doesn't understand macro/lane management in high phantom. yellow lane had 20 deaths and 2 kills by the end of match. once lane phase was over, no one could do anything because of how fed the enemy was.

hey so what is this and why is this ascendant elo? why are there players on my team who dont understand basic macro, which characters should solo lane, etc. why do i have laners dying 10~ times? 74017931

another great game where geist be doing anything but going in and feed. how does geist do the most damage in the team and do fuck all at the same time? you know he is literally the most useless player in the team when he doesn't push, don't stick, dont cooperate and fight in a team. but what do you care you fucking matchmaking imbalanced abuser.

this is my favourite, we have some top tier apollo and drifter. whenever they are in a team, their braincells are the equivalent of 5 but when they are enemies, they have 200 iq gameplay. how does 2 heroes who are super op in lane be so shit. refresher on drifter give me a fucking tumor because he did fuck all but you don't give 2 flying dicks @Yoshi

fuck your matchmaking again @Yoshi. let me breakdown this game for you. first 10 minutes, my lane doing okay, mirage lane about a draw, warden and wraith lane, getting fucked like usual. haze + dynamo snowball = fat. come mid game, dynamo ult, haze ult, vyper gets caught, kelvin flying high and im ulti ing, doesn't matter because doorman and apollo silences me. team = loses every single fight. your brain? empty as usual making great matchmakings. 4Ls in a row yet again. won 16 in the last 48 games. Thank you @Yoshi. 33% win rate. i happily lost 32 games. thanks you fat cunt. yall cooking something but it must be dog's shit that you're cooking up

Scheduled loss for me, according to statlocker my whole team is basically phantom 4-5 average, while enemy is ascendant 2-3 avg, and i dont even want to talk about the draft here, not sure who thought of putting dynamo haze viktor together vs that comp
Also i think someone was smurfing on the haze team so probably thats why it cooked up this awful matchmaking

Over 70k (!!!!) soul difference, and felt also like there was just nothing one could do to win. Enemy team having multiple strong heroes (Calico, Kelvin, Haze, Lash) that synergizes well, while the only strong heroes on our team was Silver and Venator who doesn't really synergize that well. Felt like an one-sided stomp where there was just nothing to do.

Another match where it felt like nobody really knew what to do. My lane was doing fine, but it felt like everyone else was completely lost and had no idea what to do or when to be anywhere, running in to die 1v6 often.

Match ID 74074974
Draft difference + Talon who was sexist and kept calling me gendered insults when they misplayed. Enemy team having multiple strong heroes (Ivy, Mo, Venator, Calico) that synergized well and our team having no synergy. Seemed like our Kelvin also struggled with this elo as they just kept going in 1v6 in the dome.

Since approximately end of February my matchquality has drastically decreased. I dropped from Arcanist all the way down to Seeker. I am on a around 44-45% winrate and according to Tracklock.gg I have a 20% WR in the last 10 games. It always feels like I have at least 1 or 2 players in my team that never player Deadlock before or only have a couple of matches under their belt. Almost Every win is hard fought but after one win follows around 3-5 matches of constant losses that still stretch to at least 30-35 min if not longer but are hopless to win because most of my teammates don´t do obj, constantly get into skirmishes they lose or etc. All matches were played on my Mains except the last one where I played a new Hero.

Vindicta, whom we encountered in match is clearly a cheater. His Steam account is brand new, level 0 and he has no games. He has %100 win rate. Even though we reported him collectively, I checked days later and saw that he still hasn't been banned. In fact, far from being banned, he's still get into many matches and continues to ruin other people's gaming experience.

Both our Abrams and Wraith bought egg as first item in lane together and didn't sell till it was 34 minutes in with us already losing second patron. Really might've been coordinated throwing if it wasn't just people that shouldn't be in this ELO, said it was Oracle 4 somehow... None of our carries were ever in a good spot to rotate and help with lanes or fights, was just a bad MM game. So much fighting in enemy jungle as 2 people only to die, then I'd get ganked in our jungle trying to get some farm back after dying on lane trying to save objectives by myself.

Vindicta was struggling immensely in this rank and seemed to not belong at all in eternus. A sub-20 minute stomp where the enemy team was just steamrolling us.
 
Match ID: 74092640
The roster and matchups were fine, nobody on our team died more than is normal in lane, but their entire team was just clearly not matched to our skill level. By 15min they had a 25k lead, and our team had 23 deaths to their 3. Again, nobody stood out as running it down, our worst was 1-6, the teams simply weren't well matched.
 
Match ID 74098260
Both Rank difference AND draft difference. Them having multiple strong heroes (Kelvin, Venator, Graves) and two M1 heroes while our team had only Mirage as a strong hero. And once again, E2 vs E3 lobby - where the higher divison wins. I would rather just wait 50 minutes to get an even match.
