Guys, okay, you put 2–3 novice players on my team, but then, on top of that, you stacked the enemy team with 4 hard-carry gun characters while giving us none.
How was this game supposed to play out?

This match was already decided during team composition.

That's like half the fun right? 4head

Drifter and Geist feeding their asses off early during lane phase. Their team could roam and we played from behind most of the game. Also this Wraith is a smurf.

Looks like Wraith is also queueing with people way lower in rank to abuse the mmr system.

Another shit match. Shiv left the lane early and called me the n word in the game. Super good matchmaking you got there.

Also the Ivy is a smurf.

It’s unbelievable that matches like this are even allowed to happen. The skill gap between players is massive—anyone can watch the replay and immediately see how unfair this game was.


I also need to point out, once again, how bad the character selection system is. How is it possible that in a match already heavily unbalanced in terms of MMR, I get one of my worst characters—and on top of that, one that isn’t even designed to deal damage?


We didn’t have a single player capable of making an impact. It didn’t matter that I built correctly for the match—I was the only one trying to counter the enemy with items, and it’s obvious that one player alone can’t counter an entire team.


Meanwhile, my teammates clearly didn’t understand basic positioning. And honestly, that’s not even their fault—it’s the game’s fault for putting players into matches that are this uneven in the first place.

The Rem and Calico are both Emisarry/Archon and somehow got matched with a arcanist game. This is not fun at all. Please just remove them from arcanist games...

Lash and Geist fed their asses off. Warden is a smurf.

Like what's the point if every second game is like this?

Edit: Added another pic from statlocker. Like why is this smurf in this lobby. Also why did you disable so that we cannot see if someone is in a party or not. I am 99% sure someone was in a party with Paradox to lower the overall rating of their search.

It’s unbelievable that for every decent match in this game, you get two terrible ones. You only need to look at one team’s builds to realize how unbalanced the game was.

On top of that, my team literally stood still and did nothing after the enemy secured mid boss—and of course, there’s no punishment for that. It’s not just that they can’t handle their lanes; they go as far as outright trolling.

I constantly get matches like this when I play Paradox, because the system treats hero-specific MMR as a key factor for matchmaking. Even worse, you don’t get to properly choose your hero each game—it’s assigned randomly.

It’s frustrating to feel forced to limit the characters I play just because the matchmaking system is so bad, both in terms of teammates and hero distribution. I still did my best, but the result is always the same: teammates who are not only worse than the enemy team, but who actively sabotage the match.

I've been playing on a smurf account for a month now, and I've only been playing Brawl because my main account (phantom5) is just unplayable. Every match leaves you feeling absolutely awful. The game has never been in a worse state of balance in its entire history, and the matchmaking is still just horrendous. matches are like flipping a coin—either they wipe you out or you wipe them out. The high ranks are full of people who don’t know even the basics of the game. Seriously, it’s the worst gaming experience I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m 35 years old and have been playing this game since it came out. I’m going back to my smurf account to play Brawl—it’s the only fun thing about this game right now. Thanks @Yoshi (since I play Brawl on my smurf account) because these wonderful developers didn’t think to separate the stats by game mode

You are part of the problem.
Why do you think matchmaker sucks ? because the entire dataset is poisoned by smurfs, cheaters and mod users (bright contrast hp bars can immediatelly give away someones position and prey-status at least 30% better)

All current data is poison, and I heard rumours that there is a separate client for a closed group of players/testers and valve mostly just looks at data that gets generated from them. And is actually kinda smart because two separate datasets (one guaranteed to be clean and one poisoned) can be used to train AI to detect cheats.

The public space by this point is just data harvesting from cheaters==smurfs (which is a good thing too).
