Bad Matchmaking Thread

23604688
complete wipes on other side. by the 10-minute mark we were down by two walkers and by 15 minutes we were down by whole 50k souls. I doubt we even secured an entire obj while the team bickered, and trash talked amongst themselves. valve pls fix (yes my performance wasn't the good either lol)

If you have a Seven who can't crack 10,000 souls in 20 mins, you have a problem. Legit, some players are actually super dogshit, and I am annoyed that I get games where my teammates might as well be playing with the worst bots in existence.
 
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

Streamer smurf acct vs new players

I'm in Western Europe and got 4 Russians on the team in ranked. It's an atrocious experience.
They refuse to communicate or cooperate, teabag non-russian teammates when they die and write stuff like "english = trash" in chat and actively grief EU players.

Something needs to be done to separate the two regions like in League of Legends. Putting together two groups of people who are at war with each other is a horrible social dynamic. They seem extremely malicious towards EU people and want to do everything in their power to ruin the experience for them.
 
Why am i playing ranked with guys who has 100 hours, i was playing with top 100 players yesterday ( i had good winstreak), but today i am playing with new players (now i have 8 lose streak cuz of this) (Match id wtih new players: 23626398, 23635665, 23607719, 23600743; Match id with good players: 23551150, 23547544, 23411868, 23403946, 23351077). Why should I lose in ranked, just because the game decided to throw me into the lobby with weak players for up to 200 hours for no reason, while I have 800

). Red screenshot with 100-200 hours players, Green screenshot i played with top 100 players.

So just played a ranked match where we had a total of 6 kills vs enemy teams 31.
70k vs 125k.
The enemy team was: Abrams, Lash, Warden, Haze, Vindicta and Macginnis.
Our team was: Mirage, Wraith, Infernus, Paradox, Seven and Viscous

See a pattern? One side has almost only tanks and snipers while the other is all midrange. One team has 1 CC while the other has 4 CCs.

Guess what happens when you can get stunned under turret over and over while snipers can shoot you for free? I'm playing Paradox and we can't even get the second 500 points item because Warden stuns me under turret while Vindicta is flying out of range in the air. This happened not just once, but 4 times. I was even playing close to Walker after first kill to try to minimize the damage, but that meant I fell behind and died even faster. I tried to farm camps to get back somewhat, but as they pushed my lane in, moved to another where I can't fight them due to their lead, them pushing that lane in and so on, I couldn't even farm jungle camps. If you get a matchup which isn't defined by skill but just because some heroes have way, way higher synergy or cc, you wont even be able to play.

How in the H do you expect people to play a mode called "Competitive" when your matchmaker can't even make a decent role matchup? I've played 2 games of ranked but I will wait until the matchmaker have the slighest integrity

My teammates weren't necessarily much stronger than me, but my entire team seemed to be much weaker/lower in skill than me. Just a quick look at the results screen should convey that I think.
 
match 23634808 - the enemy were too strong, literally 6x5 played the whole game and still lost, Seven just farmed the whole map and did not participate in fights at all, and even so we were much weaker

matchmaking was broken, both games good teamplayers was mixed with complete newbies who barely knew what is going on in game
 
MATCH 23645029

god awful matchmaking--maybe because it is the weekend. went from having good teammates to having horrible low skill teammates. my lane partner is basically a bot and then I try to roam and the guys lane i'm ganking just doesn't even respond. what is this horrible matchmaking
 
3 back to back ranked games with the same teammates. All stomps, same terrible play every game.

I was plat 1750 and climbing relatively nice for a dad who works and takes care of his kids with little time to play. After the most recent update The matchmaking has become absolutely terrible and the mmr isnt making any sense. I know these are third party sites but if they even resemble anything of what our mmr should be this is not right.

Havent been able to win a single match where the enemy team is even to mine and i receive gains but when I do its still a loss even if they have better players i have buddies going 15-1 winning the match and losing -50 getting hard stuck in silver and gold.

I cant tell if maybe a little wave of smurfs are throwing things off, or the slight drop in concurrent players maybe but Im just really starting to get the whole Activision matchmaking vibe (overwatch comp, cod ranked) where they dont actually care about you showing improvement and climbing, their primary concern is player retention where you get the illusion of climbing but are then smashed multiple games in a row in order to keep your competitive brain playing and grinding for your rank.

like look at this (in game same as forum)
