Bad Matchmaking Thread

75655430
one too many teammates going for the strat of "if diving and overextending isn't working out, dive and overextend harder"

Just the one teammate was interested in coordinating, everyone else was only using coms to smack talk, no fun

75651972 - This match did actual psychic damage to me. I was one win (or two) away from Eternus and for some reason the Mina on my team was playing like this was their first game of Deadlock. They went 1-15-2, feeding the 23-0-13 gun Doorman.

Not even exaggerating the psychic damage part. Once I make it back to Eternus I'm uninstalling for the sake of my mental health, matchmaking in it's present state is abysmal.

3 reports matchmaking, 0 day and 5 minute timer

22k in 2nd screenshot as I got 0 day to crash by the either REM or mirage its one of them based on how specific toxic they were to me about crash

Idk why is there 5 minute timer after game verify crash I could reconnect faster with verify with NVME SSD in a min compared to forced wait timer of 5 minutes

I've never had game crash on the first game usually after 2 to 3 games the game crashes its known deadlock memory leak bug but never on first game its out of the norm
Haze grief my lane several times enemies with low hp but haze decided it was better to farm 1 more cs than get 2 kills
I went mid to gank on Rem and Dynamo party due the same stick of watching me die
Typical REM griefing gun build despite playing for longer and gun build rem only has 5k more damage than me who was not in the game for 7 minutes

Neutral is Geist

I had to take this here because apparently the devs are getting overly sloppy and feeling too good about themselves. I ran into cheaters in 2 out of the 4 games I've played, and it's absurd. In one of the games, everyone got stomped so hard by the cheater they thought they had skill issues, that's alright. The other one, that cheater got called out so hard, got reported, yet no action was taken. What's with that cheat detection that the devs bragged about? Just a snake oil to make us believe we're safe from cheaters, and that the devs actually did something? Is making the balancing more important than getting the game ready? Bruh, I need a bit of what the devs are smoking right now

Enemy team just having an all-around better draft with heroes; Kelvin, Ivy, Wraith, Haze, Lash and Geist. Multiple S-tier heroes and gun heroes. Geist was was pretty much unkillable when wraith was just steamrolling you by holding down m1 because our team didn't really have many direct gun heroes and strong S-tier frontliners/healers like they had.

Great another cheating enemy haze

I don't care to bother to win with these griefing and toxic teammates who don't want to win only troll the non party member
Its 99% guaranteed loss for me and anyone getting these type of people

Deadlock will never have competitive integrity without avoid list and great anti cheat in the future

75712646 yet again i have a literal oracle in my team vs literal eternus? nice matchmaking valve
I also find it crazy to get 6 won in a row, not gain a rank but 3 lost in a row loses it ? nice!

At this point i hope this dev team will not get a paycheck for 3 month straight. Like how tf you flop so hard for almost 3 years with mm and then you shit out this patch at the peak of hate.

Felt the rank difference in this one. Not sure what the MM was doing here.
Probably a stack. Check their matches out and who they play with. Most games now are decided by the stack or if there is a smurf somewhere.

Same like this match.

How did Shiv end up in this game? He had to be grouped with someone. Basically did nothing all game. Same with the Haze.

Our round was going fine, even with a calico leaving their lane and coming to ours, but at about the halfway point the calico was bouncing around the map and shredding everyone almost immediately. She was already double the souls of everyone else by this point. Compared to everyone else in the match, even the Kelvin, who was doing really well against us, she was absurd.

There was no winning by 2/3 of the way through the match. She'd just eat anyone in less than 3 seconds. She also quit immediately after the round ended. I don't know if this was a smurf, but if it wasn't this is one of the biggest imbalances I think I've seen in a non-team queue game (team queue in general seem to be a broken mess of assigning one team a random assortment of teamed players and randos vs 1 team of obviously all coordinated high ranking players that dominate the whole match).

100% a smurf.
