The frustration of ranked matching

[NijaSkija]

How does Dota pick the players it's beyond me... I play for years this game and everytime I get a little further on Guardian lvl, dota starts giving me players that don't even know where the mouse is or how to reset the pc...
I know, sorry, but it is infuriating! I even bought last year dota plus in the hope that the matching will be more balanced... unfortunately not the case.
There is no option to contact Dota directly... i contactet steam and they said I should write here ... lol... ok... is there anybody here that could explain/help me in this matter?
kind regards!

Dota can only find available players and large number of players treat ranked as casual. If you play 2-3 matches the same evening chances are you wouldn't be too invested in every single match you are playing.

works ok, but still the same thing: if i team up with experienced guys, dota will make it even more difficult which result in 90% of time loosing...

Imagine what you could've been doing during those years instead of feeling like garbage in a rigged matchmaking system, whether it is or isn't, the game is designed in a way where it's questionable. Not something I'm trying to be a part of anymore for as long as I'm still alive. When I press the "play game" button, I shouldn't have the difficulty set to impossible cryptically while the rigged matchmaking algorithm searches for those who leave, abandon, throw, and behave like single celled organisms.

I've concluded today that, for the last 5 years, 99% of my losses (which are hours of time/energy/resources used), are because of "teammates" who leave, abandon, afk, throw the ball out of bounds, do the OPPOSITE of what's expected at a FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL....what...based on, behavior score? Please. I am over this diarrhea garbage. The universe is way too complex and overwhelming to be wasting valuable time in such an environment.

And that, on new accounts, with 9-10000 behavior score, 99% of the time, the game is normal, like my memories from 2012, when i first created a new dota account and calibrated 2500?

I don't think I can be a part of this environment any longer, I'm getting very close to quitting if it doesn't change, like, substantially, relatively soon. I'd say within the next 3 weeks.

yeah, i feel you. Same thing here....

AI has no frustration, ok, but i do and many others. I play this game since 2012... never managed to get over that f*king rank because of idiotic matchmaking...

Consider that the progress you gain is also caused by bad players, but this time in the opponent team.

Besides that mm can‘t look into people‘s mind and their daily mood (sometimes everything comes together fine and I look almost like a pro I look like the biggest noob the other day), the matchmaker has to deal with the player base actually available creating matches in a reasonable queue time.

In addition, gaming in lower ranked solo queue is highly unreliable with a lot of different attitudes, from high-skill players but without motivation to non-skilled try hards and this mood changes from game to game, triggered by the smallest of reasons. With full teams it is much easier for the mm because there is a basic commitment on both sides. Not so in many solo queue matches with no mutual obligations in the teams.

If you can‘t stand the inherent frustration just leave it alone. Ranked is not for everybody.

It's really kind of streak based matchmaking. Winners get losers and vice-versa.

It just puts you into your peer group. Same server, same day, week time, same mode, solo queue. It puts all those together that are willing to go for lower ranked solo public matchmaking. And the mm is happy if it gets a game together from this peer group in less than 5 min.
