What's going on with the matchmaking?

[romeo]

I went to GM in SoloQ before the season 1.5.
Was not easy but was ok, I used to carry most of my games ( Im playing Dps and Tank)

I started the season 1.5 with my first matches in GM and I get 2 loses in a row.
Felt like the lvl general of the match was more plat than anything else. ( mates not helping healers with divers etc ... stupid mistakes )

So after 2 loses I went instantly back to diamond.
Since this, Im losing litteraly every single match.

On 14 matches I have 12 loses and 8 in a row.
Last time that this thing happened to me was 2 months ago while grinding for the first time gold/plat rank.

In all these matches I do : 37 - 5 , 42 - 7 etc etc... like i dont have a single bad ratio.
Im just feeling im forcing like ive never forced before but Im the only one doing it.
Like everything depending on me.

Im playing the counters etc.. everything to maximize the win.
But everything feel off. Feeling like Im playing in Gold ranking.
the games are really boring, I can see the big mistakes in both sides.

Im aware of this algorithm 3 wins, 3 loses etc... and I learned to deal with that I know the soloq experience already, but yet it's even not this anymore its just full loses.
And the games Ive won, Ive probably made the match of my life for win,
Was not the free win that you are supposed to get after many loses.

Im not pretending being a pro at the game, but I have 500 hours, grinded GM on 2 accounts, Im patient, calm and everything
But its just too much Im feeling scammed or trolled i dont know exactly

[It's bread.]

They did something to the ranked system in this latest patch.. idk

I can tell you whats going on. You're force to play with liquid brains who pick 5 dps like its the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ special olympics, legally blind healers and totally unbalanced char's.
my summary "A barely playable video game." Tell Netease to keep firing devs

[Bushibu]

This has nothing to do with the devs itself is just the stupid diamond hellbase honestly, i see people picking heroes that never picked before
Ego players throwing/crying as soon they don't play their champ
But the most fun is HOW ARE PEOPLE WITH 400 LOSES AND 200 WINS AT DIAMOND...that's what getting to me...most of this players shouldn't be in diamond at all how the fk you go up in ranks with a winrate of like 35~45%.... that should change

I was GM 2 and went down to GM 3 with my 2 last matches before going back to Diamond 1. This happened just recently with the previous patch. I'm on a 5 match losing streak despite like 50k damage blocked and double/triple kills on Magneto.

I'm guessing smurf accounts are being made because there was literally an 'aimbot' Hela on my previous match Replay ID: 3063426281 with 23 kills and 0 deaths, there's no doubt he was boosting someone on the other team.

For now, I would recommend to hold off queuing Ranked till 1-2 weeks. I'm personally going to just train Wolverine on QP, do daily and just play other games. This game is not worth the stress.

I think you are right that is probably the best move to do for now.
Im also noticing a ton of people in diamond with the new GM crest on their cards.
I guess they are having a bad time as well

I was in Celestial 3 and it feels like I can’t win a single game. I’m now gm2 on a serious losing streak. It’s literally impossible to win some of these games. I’m getting paired up with the worst of the worst that I’ve ever seen. Throwers, leavers, just down right terrible team mates. I’ve never seen this before season 1.5 in high gm. Like I’ve been playing since season 0 and I’ve never seen players leave or this many throwers in this era lo before. Did they screw up the match making? Or are these beginning of the season bots that get their games in and leave?

This is just a sign that the level of skill diversity within the playerbase is declining..

This happens is every game that uses eomm given enough time..

Basically the population of good players within the playerbase is declining while the population of bad players is growing..

The further it progresses the more dysfunctional the matchmaking becomes.. eventually self destructing.

Tf2 matchmaking is the only example of it actually reaching that point, every other eomm game has died before that..

Netease is trying to develop "Artificial players" using bots and player data to artificially reintroduce skill diversity back into the playerbase before it self destructs here..

Point is, it's only going to get worse with time, until it kills the game or netease begins sneaking artificial players into the game

Not sure its to this extent, I'm more leaning into the fact its beginning of the new season and its the weekend so tons of bad weekend players are rushing in. (shrug) thats my first guess cause oh man I swear to anyone who reads this, I've been GM1 since Season 0 like I said before and rarely did I ever see like proper throwers & leavers. This past weekend it was like every 3 games I had a thrower or a leaver that rages after like 2 minutes into the match. Like I'm not a bad player, I play tank and I've destroyed players in GM1 to Celest 3. But those matches I came across were down right dreadful.

So only time will tell if they truly did something to the matchmaking or its the beginning of the season trashcans rushing in to get their games in. But from now on I think I'm gonna stick to weekday games and not play on the weekends.

This is also what i've supposed : holidays + week end + new season.
But well it's still not a normal thing in my opinion it shouldn't happen.

What is bothering me with this game is that it feels like the more you grind, you got hours and experience the more you feel the game degrades you. Like you are more punished for that than if you were playing less.

I litteraly get to GM twice, playing well ( I practice a lot im not gonna lie ) but not playing my life still, I had " normal " teammates not great, not awful but that was quite easy at the end.

And now the game is giving you loses streak like that, you literally can't do anything except suffer.

The second reason why is bothering me is that because of all these crazy bs Im not able to know if someone is good or not in this game.

Most of everything seems just, Idk, random.
