Bad Matchmaking Thread

Shout out to the matchmaker for this abomination of a match... ID: 74391167

I do think the Abrams and the Victor were smurfs. But HS.

what the actual fuck am I supposed to do valve? Do I have to get demoted back into fucking alchemist before I'm allowed to get a shot at winning the fucking game? In this absolute fucking festering sea of red, there was ONE game where I was objectively the worst player on my team, in every single other one I came out of lane positive, and ended up doing decent amounts of damage. In most of these games I get absolutely dogshit teamcomps, generally no gun carries or meta favoured characters (like geist or haze or billy) and the times I do get them, the player is terrible and just feeds. Meanwhile my enemies regularly get 3-4 stacks, with strong gun characters that simply auto win the game after a certain point. I have literally NOT ONCE in my god damn life been put into a game where more than two people are in a premade. The game has six fucking players man. Why can't I get to be the one to fill one of the leftover slots?
Also, there were two fucking games here where there was any voice comm activity, and in one of them 80% of the voice traffic was russian slurs my teammates hurled at each other. The 30-30-30 rule goes straight out the fucking window, when in over two thirds of my games I lose before I even unlock my ultimate. I admit I'm not some insane god gamer, and I don't particularly enjoy playing gun carries, but I just feel like I'm being punished for having the playstyle I have. I'm continously getting demoted, I've gone from ritualist 6 all the way down to fucking arcanist 2, with some matches being as low as alchemist 1, and the experience just does not change, my teams are simply completely outmatched, always.

Oracle 1 74421709, my bebop just completely fed the enemy team within 10 mins they had both our walkers. We got stomped and this game didn't feel fair at all, the bebop definitely does not deserve to be in this rank
 
I have no words for this game, I don't think there's a world where this venator or graves should be in this match (8 deaths at 5 minutes??). Enemy billy and drifter also ran it down for half of the game.

Another completely unbalanced match. Lately, I keep getting teammates who just stand still and don’t even call pauses, which basically forces me to constantly watch and pause the game myself.

It’s frustrating that there’s no surrender option in a game where you depend so heavily on teammates who clearly don’t want to play and just stand there doing nothing—probably on their phones or distracted.

At the very least, please add proper hero selection. It’s incredibly boring and frustrating to end up in matches where your team has three supports, no hard carry, and no one capable of initiating fights.

My entire team had not one ounce of macro and also fought 24/7 while going 0/5, they didn't push waves or farmed or make any calls really. There was a 74k soul lead at the end. Everyone has bad games but my entire team being clueless on any right choice for macro is crazy for this rank.Screenshot 2026-04-09 215556.png

Unfortunately this is just how Valve games are. Most matches will have blatant smurfs, cheaters, griefers, account buyers and sellers. They don't moderate their games.

Extreme team diff. Pocket, Shiv and Seven fed their asses off. Also look at the composition of the teams.

If you check lane stats in the graph, my team was losing it since minute 4-5.

So the game just got uploaded on statlocker. Basically went up against a stack so it was doomed from the start.

The Abrams is also a smurf. How the f is this matchmaking real?

Another shit stomp. Like can you please address the matchmaking anytime soon or do we need another 600 pages of this? Why is this Yamato in this lobby? Also these people were probably a stack, those we played against.

So the issue is group queue vs. solo queue.
 
SEA Servers,

74518951

Bebop player - refused to play the game because of the Seven on their lane. In turn, refused to play the match at all. In text, stated he gave up on the match.

The same player, 74522717 (As Abrams), decided to throw the game yet again; only this time, on the opposite team, and rages against his Calico player.

From SEA,

Why have I been pairing up people from China, intentionally throwing the game, and saying racial slurs?

I believe my account has been cursed so that I matched with players that plays to lose intentionally. Mind you, these games are Oracle games. I have no clue how each update to the matchmaking has just gotten more terrible.

Can we just remain like last years matchmaking was way better. Now games dont even feel fun to play if the players keep dying on purpose. Majority are from China region playing in SEA server it dont make sense.
