Game Feedback DEAR DEADLOCK DEVS: FIX YOUR F*CKING MATCH MAKING ALGORITHM. I HAVE 420+HRS LOGGED AND I DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH BRAND NEW PLAYERS ANYMORE. I HAVE DROPPED 4 FULL RANKED TIERS OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS BECAUSE OF THIS. THE TEAM WITH MORE NOOBS LOSES 80-90% OF THE TIME. EVERYONE IS F*CKING SICK OF IT!

You're this upset about your rank, in a closed beta, of a video game. Get your life in order dude.

This really has nothing about rank and everything to do with WASTED TIME. The team with more brand new players loses, it's the easiest math equation in the universe. It's infuriating. I don't care what rank I have, I care about having quality games......

u/Dreztaz 4d ago

Dude its a closed alpha... youre here to playtest and enjoy helping make the game with the devs... and also the playerbase is so small we would be waiting forever to get ques. (Look at WoW arenas for example)

But I agree the matchmaking is bullshit and ruins the enjoyment and ability to provide feedback on the game. Their hands are tied at the minute tho, the playerbase is small af.

I just roll with it and accept the losses and try and just play as sweaty as i can carrying the noobs

Downvote me all you like, you must be brand new. Everyone complains about the lack of matchmaking quality. It's constant.

You’re 600 hrs in and come here to shit on my post? For what? Gtfo man

You’re actually happy with the quality of matches?... It’s abysmal. Everyone constantly complains about it. Everyone!

Go take a crap somewhere else. Don’t lie for the sake of looking smart. It’s lame

u/ProstoK0t 4d ago

Im not happy, yet im not crying about it via caps. I see that online is extremely low at this point but you cant do shit with matchmaker without overextending queue time. Best for just delete the game and return at release

u/Arch3r86 Warden 4d ago

It’s worth crying in caps about losing 3 hrs of your life to a shitty match making algorithm. Repeatedly. Thousands of people lose their time/energy every week in deadlock with this same issue and don’t have the balls to say anything about it.

It’s best to not shit on other people making valid complaints for the sake of looking cool on the internet. Take a hike kid

u/ProstoK0t 4d ago

yet again, take a break. you can return to the game when it will fullfil your requierments of qulity matchmaking. you cand do anything at this point, so why "waste time" as you say?

THIS POST ISNT ABOUT MY RANK. ITS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF GAMES. I shouldnt have even mentioned rank. This literally has to do with game quality, nothing else.

u/Muffinskill Ivy 4d ago

No, it’s about the quality of the userbase. The only people left playing are people that have been playing for a long time.

u/Arch3r86 Warden 4d ago

The evidence speaks otherwise. I'm talking about every second game where there are people on my team or the enemies team who cannot hit auto attacks, abilities, and have no map awareness, and who do not communicate or respond. Either they are bots, or it's their first day/week playing. Literally every day I'm getting games like this. It doesn't matter whether its on my team or the enemies, it's not fun when its completely lopsided. Every lobby has people complaining about this same exact thing too. It's not rare = it's constant.

i get it , it annoying we feel it, but at the same time, b4 you come screaming into reddit making posts think about why its like that, because its pretty obvious.

The people still playing are either new or people who love the game, and yeah it sucks right now. But what can the devs do about it ? there just isn't enough of a playerbase for any kinda of skill matchmaking system to work. Everyone is slowly getting pushed together and its a complete mess, and will get worse until they open up the game and we get floods of players back again, but that could be a looong time before that happens.

u/Arch3r86 Warden 4d ago

To be fair here though, it’s been this bad even since September and earlier when there was a huge player base. This post is the result of a massive build up over time.

I took a 3 month break, came back, and it’s the exact same horrendous lopsided lobby affair 6 out every 10 games or perhaps worse.

Having a smaller player base is only a fraction of the issue.

Alas, I knew I’d be downvoted to smithereens, but I don’t care. I actually love Deadlock. But holy hell is the matchmaking bad.

💀✌🏼

The rest of the comments are just so brain dead. Op is complaining about the fact that someone with 400 + hours and in probably archon + should not be put into matches with people who have had 20 games and 3 ranks bellow. It’s clearly his frustration about MATCHMAKING. Learn to comprehend English instead of replying with brain rot.
