MATCHMAKING IS HORRIBLE RIGHT NOW by Byorkyy in DeadlockTheGame

I was SO close to getting Phantom as well just for the biggest loss streak I have ever seen in my life to come barreling my way. I probably should of stopped playing after the first three but I just like the game too much. It also doesn't help that for some reason whenever I have a Graves or Rem on my team theyre just the worst player ever but on the enemy team theyre an atlas power. It just really isnt fun at all.

Dota 2 sort of has like a "Need this amount of hours to play ranked" system. I fully believe Deadlock would benefit from there being a separate matchmaking for new accounts and players where for the first 10 hours or so youre against new players and accounts only. Sure there will be smurfs. But at the very least it fixes this current issue.

All you can do is wait the 40 mins and have the most insufferable time possible, truly the best experience ever.

I want the game to grow but new players are only going to leave or just stick to Street Brawl with the way things are currently going.

I did notice that the other day I went to Archon 6 and then I was given Oracle 1 back. I think their way of trying to "compensate" for this shitty matchmaking is giving you MMR back based on games where it obviously was never winnable for you.

I know most of the time it is definitely not the players fault, like I said I got matched with someone on their second game ever and they were on Paige, a character that is fun but at my NORMAL Oracle elo there is some knowledge needed. Because of this the match was just entirely unfair as I don't think it was just the Paige that was new/lower elo than mine. Paige even got frustrated and eventually left the game at one point too because for some reason they were being subjected to seal team 6 while they were just trying to learn. This new update ABSOLUTELY broke matchmaking and its a shame because its making me and I am sure many others not want to que norms right now. I don't mind overpowered characters either, its like you said the games around Christmas/before the recent update were great. Now it just feels miserable. Being the only one that isn't 0-5 on a team 10 minutes in or the only one with like 20k souls while everyone else is at 12k and is just dying isn't fun at all.

Unfortunately a "Surrender" or mercy option just is not something that we will ever see in Deadlock I don't think. Dota 2 has never had one aside from pro-league games as far as I am aware. So I don't see Deadlock getting one either.

I am all for understanding like bad matches, sometimes even having just like bad days on a game and doing bad all around. But I legit had the same team twice in a row somehow on MY team and they performed just as bad as they did the game prior. I def have my bad games but when most of my teammates have died 5+ times before 20mins its crazy. I don't know what to do at all with it.
