Bad Matchmaking Thread

Racism, Homophobia and toxicity

The Inferus on our team, died once very early in the game. Then continued to scream down mic. Calling the team R-worded, shouting homophobic slurs non stop thru the entire game. they said the game was ruined because they died. so they started trolling.

we then faced him again the next game, where we got an AMAZING team so we were winning. but he then ragequits before the game ends. making our victory even more certain.

His entire profile on steam is peple calling him out for his toxicity and bad teamplays.

HOW IS HE NOT BANNED FOR BEING THIS TOXIC?
there is no way me and my friend playing lash was the first to report this guy?

You do know there's a mute feature right?
 
The teams mates I get and their deaths.

What the enemy team gets

Can you just revert whatever dogshit changes you did when you merged queues? It isn't fun. I either trash the enemy team or get trashed. It sucks.

what a clown reply.

Im aware.
the point is this person is spewing hate at people, trolling and throwing games. why is it that so people are so fucking confortable with people being pathetic screaming racist and hatefull in games.

do you really want your community to be like this? would you not rather have people play the game and help their teammates?

It genuinly doesnt make sense, like i said we won against him the very next game. im not saying he ruined my life or anything. im saying people like this will for sure make somone quit one day. that contributes to people leaving the game. Why would, or should i put up with that?

does it make you some kind of stronger to say that "yeah people kept screaming in mic. so i had to mute my entire team, and have no comms, but thats fine because thats the culture here"🤡🤡🤡🤡

nah, fuck that. thats a defeatist mindset.
 
Comp queue? What a joke. 5 games in a row, not a single person using vc. Didn't even get 1 flex in 2 of the games. How did you think this would solve the matchmaking mmr issue? Because it doesn't... the games are still unbalanced like no tomorrow because people have faulty mmr. People even admitting to be placed way too high in this very thread. Dno how you are so blind to not see that the bad matchups are going to continue indefinitely until you just reset mmr to 0 and make everyone start at initiate 1 rank and go up instead. Sure the start will be bad, really bad. But it'll even out and people will be at their actual ranks.

Reinstalling this game for this patch clearly was a huge mistake and I'm actually sad I wasted so many hours playing this game at this point. What an absolute throw by devs.

*EDIT*
Oh btw do you know what makes people use vc and communication? Good players, at higher ranks... it just comes naturally from actually wanting to win. Just look at Ascendant/Eternus lobbies, pretty much everyone uses vc because they know you need to. How is this not so obvious from the last I don't know, 3 decades of online gaming...? Having people tick a box and think that does anything is just wow....
 
First game trying the "extra competitive" queue and I get teammates worse than I already usually get. I won my lane hard and the rest were struggling the entire time.1733541778568.png
 
29971832 Outdrafted and piss poor matchmaking. 3 teammates under 500 obj damage over 30 minutes. One player didn't even reach 20k souls in 30 minutes. It's pretty disappointing just how bad this game is becoming. 1733541956607.png

I don't know how these lobbies even happen. McGinnis rage quit, and I still couldn't carry this team 6v5. Shout out to Infernus, who rage quit at 30 minutes after being abusive in chat.

And this is with the "extra competitive" option checked. I've been asking at the start of games, and most players don't know what it is, which leads me to believe it doesn't actually do anything.
 
2 more. Stomps either way, on the second game I was able to hold on my own but seven and paradox clearly do not belong in this lobby.

29981176 : my team had 3 kills to other team's 39. The duo on my team went 0-20 combined. 87k souls to 127k, Emissary 3. This was a completely 1 sided match. This was brutally unfair - the other team was not Emissary for sure.

29906171 : again, 16 to 45 kills and 164k to 207k souls Archon

29901962 : again, 17 to 49 kills and a whopping 184k to 242k souls. I went 0-9 myself in this match and only 1 of my teammates faired a 8 to 8 score. I was absolutely the odd one out of this match. Archon. I should not be in Archon.

29905401 : again but flipped, 44 kills to 5 kills and 115k to 69k souls. We won this and dominated but it did not feel good. It felt awful crushing this team of players who frankly felt like they were completely new players and kind of just figuring things out. It says Emissary 3. No way, absolutely not. We won in 18 minutes.

29905401: again

29515844: again - 44k to 92k souls jeez, their whole team was breaking 14+k and NONE of my team myself included broke 8.5k. Absolute waste of time

29429850 : this one was closer than maybe all the rest, but they had very high skill players and the yamato on our team carried us through. It was dumb luck we lasted as long as we did, I think the enemy team was meandering toward the end of the 40 minute match which dragged it out and gave us a chance to last longer. Felt oppressive.

34% winrate since the 11-21 matchmaking changes. I was an avg 50% before that change I believe at a glance.

Why does every patch seem to make the game worse... Just leave it alone please it was good for a while and now its like its been reset and back to horrible.
 
This match might be the tipping point for me, the patch is awful and so is the matchmaking too. 450 hours in and I'm losing all my will to play let alone enjoy this.1733563181787.png
 
29988682 - alchemist II, 155k vs 76k in 25:00, monumental mmr difference seemingly, and a haze clearing house from our team (19 kills vs avg 6 on the rest of us). felt bad for them...

So my matches are a new type of bad now. I've played like 6 games on the new patch. The first 2 were great. It felt like the games were close and could've gone either way. Won one and lost one, and didn't mind losing because it felt fair.

BUT NOW, 4 god damn games in a row, I've had at least 1 player, way far above everyone else's rank.

The game I'm posting, I asked everyone what rank they were. My team said around Emissary to Archon, and the enemy team said around PHANTOM. Now they could be lying, but they really were just way better than us. Like, to the point where it was not fun to play. I laned against the Vindicta and she seemed to be around my skill level, but everyone else was just destroying us. So, it says the average team rank was Archon, and I'm assuming that means it was like a Phantom stack and a couple of Emissary players, and my team seemed to have high emissary to low Archon.

I have all of the settings turned on. I have prefer solo queue on. I have extra competitive turned on (but most people still don't uses comms or do much coordinating). Tbf these really bad games were around 3-5 a.m. so maybe it's just a bad time to play.

But my god, if you can't find players around my skill level for me to play against, just leave me in queue, tell me to go to sleep. I'd much rather wait for a good game than this garbage. I've now deranked twice off of games against Phantom level and Oracle level players. Just don't match me against them. Especially if I have the extra competitive option on. That should tell you I care about my rank. And this shit, is not fair.

Also, the patch said it would try to give each team at least 2 frontliners. It's probably debatable if some characters are or not, but who tf is ours supposed to be. Like, maybe viscous, maybe if you build him that way. But they have Mo and Krill, and Lash and Bebop could def be frontliners if they're built that way. Can't complain about it too much, because we're just waiting on enough heroes for a draft system to fix that problem. But this is all to say, I think the matchmaker is way to eager to put me into whatever game is available. And they end up being trash.

My last week has been absolutely horrible in terms of matchmaking. I feel totally out of place, in that literally everyone in the opposing team is on a higher level than me. It has never been this bad before. Sure I've lost big before, but it's very consistent now and I'm still the same rank as before.
I feel completely powerless most games, and it seems to be the case for my teammates as well as we get crushed in every single lane. This has drastically decreased the amount of time I put into the game in the last week, its just not fun.
