Cope matchmaking

I don’t know what kind of cosmic mistake I made, but every match in Deadlock feels like a punishment for just existing. 15 years of Dota 2 and CS matchmaking development, and this is what I get? My teammates are out here playing like they’ve never seen a keyboard before, wandering around like they’re lost in a shopping mall, ignoring objectives like it’s a side quest
.
How does the matchmaking system look at my hours of pain and suffering and go, “Yeah, you’re good enough to carry these clowns who think holding W is a strategy”? Like, I’m literally playing with people who need to be reminded to breathe. These clowns are out here getting lost on a straight path, and I’m just here trying to carry them like I’m auditioning for sainthood
.
At this point, I’m starting to feel like I’m Hitler’s best soldier out here carrying these clowns on my back like it’s a full time job while chad AFK and Timmy Noaim just vibe and giggle behind my back
.
And here’s the kicker: I’m constantly top 1 or 3 in damage or kills. I’m out here like a one-man army, dropping nukes, carrying the team on my back like it’s the heaviest backpack in history and yet, my MMR is falling, from 2100 to 1400. FALLING. I’m literally carrying these brain-dead clowns, pulling off insane plays, and somehow, the system thinks I’m the problem
.
It’s not even about losing at this point—I’m just trying to finish a game without spontaneously combusting. Every match feels like the Gaben is out here testing my patience, like Deadlock is a training ground for masochism. And I’m the star pupil, apparently, because I’m the only one showing up to the class
.
I’m convinced the matchmaking system is actively trolling me at this point. The dice are rigged, the house is laughing, and my mental state is hanging on by a thread. Am I destined to forever solo-carry these brain-dead NPCs, or is there some secret I don’t know? Honestly, I just want to finish one game without contemplating my life choices. Thx valve for the most leptard matchmaking system ever

While I feel your pain, damage and kills dont win games.

Structure damage does. And yours is always super low.

Does your kit facilitate kills? Yes. Does it give you the glory of amazing play making? yes.

But your structure damage is so low every game you will never actually carry the game to a victory. YOU need to figure out how to capitalize on your damage and kills by translating that to objectives taken.

I do it when I need to. I won't risk dying like a beautiful dog just to do 1/3 of its health

If I have a good team (rare occasions), I'll push with them, but most of the time, my games look like this. I'm not that stupid to push with those clowns and feed the whole enemy team

would not cope if those clowns could use commands to pinpoint something or say it in voice, but they'll just ignore the fact that the enemy from their lane is missing and will sit still fighting with creeps for their lives. Often, I see them pushing lanes solo just to die in the end with zero impact

That's really cool you wrote about this. I know it, but unfortunately for me and other gamers, Valve just said "fock it" and didn’t do any proper tutorial about this game after a whole year in development

Thanks for not letting me know that Abrams and Vyper went to my lane after which they dumped some loads into my perfect bum
 
You know, there was a time when you stood tall as giants in the gaming world, crafting experiences that shaped our childhoods, our dreams. But now? You’ve lost it. You’ve lost everything that made you great. You don’t create anymore; you just… exist. Dota 2, CS? You didn’t even make those. You bought them. Why? Because deep down, you knew you couldn’t do better
And now, look at you. No real game support. No proper antycheat. No meaningful updates. Nothing. Just silence. A hollow shell of what you once were. Do you even care anymore? Do you even see how far you’ve fallen?
I once believed in you. I respected you as a company. When I was younger, I dreamed of working for you, of being part of something legendary. But now? Now I just feel sorry for you. Portal 3, HL3… they were all we ever wanted. But you couldn’t even give us that
You didn’t just lose your ability to create great games, you lost your soul. And that’s the real tragedy
Peace!
 
People like this show how little you care about your players. After 15 years of supporting Dota 2 and CS, I’m exhausted reporting cheaters, nothing changes. They cheat for years, and you do nothing

Yoshi, if you’re reading this, do you really think a 2007 art style is acceptable for a 2025 game? Do you even care anymore? Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’ve given up on us entirely
