Bad Matchmaking Thread

Match ID 74309921
Once again, a complete utter stomp from the enemy team - where they had Celeste, a super overpowered hero, and other heroes that synergized well. Not only that, it's an Ascendant 4 lobby.

How the hell am I put in Ascendant 4 lobbies??? This feels so weird, genuinely. It feels not only blatantly unfair for me to be put in these lobbies because it's akin to smurfing, but it's also just beyond frustrating when your team is seriously under performing and not at all listening to any calls or using comms. How is this fair on any level for anyone involved?

PLEASE, I beg you devs, I'd rather take a 50min queue over this, any day. I want a fair and balanced game, not suddenly be put in lobbies like this. First it's "Oh yeah have an ascendant lobby" and then "Oh yeah have a high Eternus lobby". Please, I just want consistency and not utter stomps all the damn time.

Another damn stomp. Not only did our Mo & Krill not perform up to par, it was just a complete steamroll from them from the start. NO amount of trying to be a support changed the outcome of this game, as nobody listened to comms and ran in to die alone among other things. AND also an ascendant V lobby? This is just a joke at this point and I hope you all actually would change something in MM so that it's better quality matches than this.


I'm on a losing spree of 8 at the moment - all of the games I've posted here, because they've been so unbelieveably garbage, so I'm understandably pissed.

no person in team ever pushing objectives, wandering around aimlessly while enemy team winning fights, taking objectives multiple times and just winning with 50k souls advantage. very onesided

another spectacular team comp balance, yet again players who are new to the game in MID HIGH ELO lobbies, perhaps another 600 pages of bad matchmaking thread replies and youll do something about it.

totally different teams, this calico was there for what reason? he is literal archon player in asc2 game?
It just feels like a total waste of time playing with these people, I am trying to get better in the game and upskill, all I get is kicks in the balls
 
still no win, still no fun, still unbalanced, unwinnable bullshit.

I hope your office fucking burns to the ground you assholes, at least maybe we can have something worthwhile grow
 
and ANOTHER FUCKING GAME WITH A PLAYER ON MY LANE THAT LEAVES WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES WITH NO EXPERIENCE

DUDE REACT, DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING YOU FUCKS! ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AT LEAST YOU PRICKS!

ANY REACTIONS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
 
Valve developers, I truly appreciate the work you’ve done on Deadlock, and I strongly believe the game will continue to improve and become loved by gamers around the world.

If I may offer some constructive feedback, I think the matchmaking balance still needs improvement. Quite often, I encounter high-ranked players in low brackets, and in many matches my team’s average rank is significantly below the opposing team’s average rank. I also frequently come across smurf accounts with new IDs, but with skill levels that are clearly far above their current rank.

This can hurt the overall experience, especially for new players and those in low to mid brackets. I hope this issue can be addressed well so that players can have a better experience overall.

Thank you.
 
I’m begging you—stop matching me with complete idiots! I play consistently well, so why do you keep pairing me with teammates going 0/6 or 0/10? What on earth is going on over there? Why can't you manage to filter out something as simple as this?

The draft kinda was on their side, once again. Wraith, Mirage, Apollo, (+ Lash) - heroes that are gun heroes and can just split push and hold down m1 to win late-game. Game ended up with a 50k soul difference because we had many niche heroes that aren't good sidelaners like that.
