Bad Matchmaking Thread

I keep being put in matches where lanes get steamrolled and fed on one side. I have been trying to get in emissary for a while but I've been hard stuck ritualist for quite some time.

insane draft diff, i feel like most of these bad matchmaking complaints wouldn't exist if a draft system was added because majority of the time it is a draft diff and not a player diff. feels bad to have a game lost at the loading screen and its not even any of my teammates fault, yoshi pls.

Completely inexcusable matchmaking.

Three players with sub-20k player damage in THIRTY-SEVEN MINUTES and less than 2.2k Objective damage COMBINED.

Having a lane go 0-Infinity every match to decide the outcome by 10-15 minutes is getting so old. It's clear when one team is objectively favored to win solely due to an absurd skill disparity with 2-3 people being shoved into a lobby that's out of their personal bandwidth.

I quickly made this visual using Statlocker. I understand/acknowledge the ranks might be inaccurate.
I want you to genuinely look me in the eyes and tell me that these teams were fairly balanced just because of the team averages matching.

I had to deal with the Emissary Kelvin on the other team obsessively shittalk me and constantly make spelling errors with an AI-generated profile picture while trying to make me feel like shit because I was complaining in the chat.

The Calico was on a blatant alt account. The Drifter was on a blatant alt account. Low level accounts, most information privated/blank, only owns Deadlock, etc.

I have not had matchmaking this bad in ages. Holy actual fuck.

It's worse than you can imagine due to grouping. I find it hilarious Valve is actively blocking the ability to see groups on tracking sites because they know just how badly the system is being abused.
