Bad Matchmaking Thread

[Emily Vasquez]

Hey Valve, can you improve your matchmaking instead of just making it a half-measure? We got stomped so hard we didn't even get to grab a flex slot. Sure the last match I had was actually balanced, a rarity in this game, but the last two games involved my team and I stomping the others. P much a lot of the games nowadays are just stomping one another [ID: 30063449]

This was a little bit shocking to me when i figure out that i was playing versus players who have Oracle ranks where my rank is Archont II
Well we got in this match stomped by Sapphire flame

This game hasn't started, but it's over.
I think Riot will make a better DEADLOCK someday.

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

We had a new player on our team who had only played 3 games before, rest of the team didn't do too much as well. But it put us up against an oracle ranked team and we were only archon 3

 

[itsEllySaurus]

just another game with one player on the enemy team steamrolling...

your brilliant matchmaking system put that player up against a paradox that ended the game with 0 kills. like if you are trying to make people quit ur game just say so.

27 - 0????????

Zero effort by matchmaker. Massve skill disparity obvious from the start. At our base by 15 minues. Zero flex slots unlocked.

Just ranked up to Ritualist 1. First game I get matched with a Talon that's never played the game most likely:

1k netto at 8 mins. Pretty laughable. The whole team was actually very bad. The lash in my lane would just let me fight alone then not even ult until I was dead. LMAO

And also. Why put warden vindicta and haze in the same team? top 3 heroes with the highest winrate....

 

[Queso]

There are 2 smurfs in this game: Infernus ArnaldoSexo33 and Paradox im not star, they have less than a week from playing the game and they are stomping all games. Ban them for EULA violation.

34-1 Haze. I thought it was bad when I 0-3 him in lane. Then I hung back and still died 2 more times. Then he moved on to everyone else and clearly is outmatching everyone, and I finally realized it probably wasn't just me being bad, and then I remembered this thread.

no bro you just lost lane to carry and this carry won them a game, snowballed. That's it.)

The matchmaking has been AWFUL ever since ranked and unranked got merged. I feel like I get shitstomped in every single game I play by players that are head and shoulders above me in skill level. I understand the matches can get harder in general simply because most casual players dropped the game after the hype has died down, but not even deranking from Phantom 6 to Oracle 1 has made the games any easier. I am having this issue both when playing solo and when playing with 1 or 2 friends

I'm on the east coast in NA and the game is putting my in EU games and generally higher than my rank. This game is Oracle 6 average and I'm Archon 5. Is this just a function of low NA player count?

yeah the matchmaking has the same issue as the CS games. It thinks one decent player and five tongue chewing ingrates vs. six "slightly-less-skilled-than-best-player"s is a good match-up. I'm guessing this is for placement matches in the same way CS would do when you were in elo hell.
