Bad Matchmaking Thread

Use this thread to share matchids for games that you think the matchmaker did a bad job at. If you can explain what you felt was a problem in it that would be helpful as well.

Do not post matchids for games that were within the past 24 hours from this post. Games older than that are fine and games going forward are fine.

Thanks for the help

Jesus H. Christ - not even remotely a close or even game.
 
Match 21523820
All lanes controlled within a few minutes, I decided to take jungle/neutrals. We ended it in 15:03 minutes.
Third-party MMR estimation sites show a huge gap in MMR difference between my team and the enemy's.

20 minutes to take down the first tier of guardians, imbalanced during lane phase, seemed like we had some highly dedicated players vs some newer or new to their hero players.


3rd party tools and all so not accurate but this doesn't seem balanced:

Enemy team had two newish players on their team (one with only 6 games) got obliterated and abandoned the match. Feels bad.

Match length is deceptively long; Sapphire Flame delayed objectives/end despite heavy map control advantage. Pocket, Wraith, Dynamo, Bebop, McGinnis were much farther ahead of the other 7 players in skill; caused 2 players to quit early, one on each team.
 
NekoScore probably isnt accurate at all but why am i from Sweden and getting put in the Russian region and also getting placed with these players both on my team and the enemy team?1728552148820.png

our team was split the whole game meanwhile the enemy team took all guardians and started systematically pushing out lanes and then grouping as 6 for a fight ->repeat, our team struggled to even push lanes competently. either the enemies were much more experienced then ours or they were all in comms while we were all solo. one of the two
 
MATCH 21515213
MATCH 21537865
I think at one point it was 6 kills vs 80 kills.

If I'm being honest pretty much every match tonight was equally miserable and unfun but these are the two I remember most.

It feels like the core pain point of a lot of these terrible matches are 1-3 stacks being matched up against 4-6 stacks.
It's an insane advantage and there's very little chance of matching that level of coordination with random people.

Perhaps we can show which people are in a stack in the lobby, like OW does?
 
Poddanie gry, tylko taka opcja istnieje, w "lolu" jest to samo od samego początku. Jeżeli byłaby możliwość uporania się z tym problemem, to już byłoby to zrobione.

There have been a few problem games but this one stands out. This matchmaking issue is super key, it really is killing my enjoyment of the game.
 
Match 21550223. Didn't get a confirmation but it is pretty clear my team had a few complete beginners.
It was an instant match up as well. No waiting, which should be a sign of a balanced match, right?

edit: Another one right after with match 21554303. This time, the roles were reversed. Felt like we were stomping total beginners. This was an instant queue as well.

Honestly just ridiculous. Warden was practically dying once a minute the first half of the game. They enemy team weren't even that good from what I experienced of them, they'd just been ridiculously overly fed from that point. So I have no idea what MMR-level some of my teammates were in that game but clearly not an equal one.
