Lmfao.
Seriously wtf is going on here? Ever since the update i don't think i won more than two Dominion games.
This is laughable. Im playing against obvious sweats everytime. And while i ran into those on occasion before, i didn't run into them EVERY SINGLE match. I mean i can't even grab anyone as Highlander for example because literally all of them roll away all of a sudden. I never even knew you could do that, because im a CASUAL.
It's noticable how im placed in a higher bracket all of a sudden. If im 1v2'ing, one of them unlocks and backs off for a while (so my revenge bar goes down) and then he jumps back in because he KNOWS my bar went down and it's safe to attack again. My lights are getting parried ON REACTION 90% of the time now. I know it's on reaction, because im trying to mix up my attack direction and it doesn't matter. They still parry. Guardbreak? Doesn't work on anyone since the update. CGB every single time. I can't even CGB consistently. Only when im expecting it, so why the F am i playing against people who can do it 100% of the time. That wasn't the case before.
I know im playing against tryhards, because everyone i come across does that stupid long distance feint ********. We're not even close to each other and they're feinting all over the place, before we're even fighting. That's usually a sign of someone taking things super seriously, because i only ever see that on Youtube vids. Not actually INGAME, but now i do.
Last: Just because im top of the scoreboard allot of times (win or lose) doesn't mean im a GREAT player that knows every single little trick. Im flattered Ubi thinks im the carry or something, but im not. For the last three days im top player on my team atleast 80% of the time. And if im not, im second place. Can't even remember the last time i was third place and fourth place simply never happens to me. But i can't win anything.
I join so many games midgame since Hulda released and i still end up first place after like 2 minutes of playing or so. Im not even doing anything special. I get my *** kicked just like the rest of the team, i just manage to get my *** kicked a little less and i guess that's why my MMR doesn't go down, when it actually should.
And this isn't me trying to sound like im good, because i suck. And i used to play against other players who suck too. The difference is 100% noticable. Every player has an answer for everything i do and this is killing all my fun. So please revert your ****ty MM changes. Just because i have a high SPM because i PTFO, does not mean i am sitting there sweating on the couch. I never bought a better controller. I've had my sane standard controller since i bought my console. I don't have GAMING MODE on my TV switched on, because i don't care. I didn't buy a new monitor. I don't go online to learn strategies. I never remapped my buttons for easier feints or CGB. So give me a damn break and stop putting me in lobbies with nerds who have done all these things and then some.
Thank you.
Tl;dr
Matchmaking is garbage since update and the system thinks i can carry because i boost/cap zones, clear midzone and play the objective which gives me a high score per minute and i outscore my teammates most of the time. Straight garbage

And i just got done playing a match where our team got spawn killed for most of the match. That has never ever happened to me lol. I heared about it, but it never happened to me personally. They were just waiting there and killing us. Fighting back just gave them revenge and nobody stood a chance. Ridiculous.
Judging by some other threads on here, they ****ed up MM somehow for sure. Putting noobs and casuals like me up against streamers etc, etc.
Definately a major problem.
I find Dom matches the instant i press search though. Normally it can take a minute or so. But i prefer waiting for a decent match rather than getting into a game instantly and getting stomped like this.
We'll see what happens.

I wholeheartedly second this...season 10 was perfect, usually found matches in about a minute (central europe), and the match was always fair, W/L about 50/50, you always felt like you had a chance if you concentrated and played well. 90% of all matches ended with both teams breaking, never knew who was going to win until the last second.
Since the beginning of S11 I'm immediately thrown into a match the moment I click play, and it almost feels as if the matchmaking is DELIBERATELY dividing all the players up and putting the best ones on one side and the worst on the other, it's an absolute clusterf***.
I can't even walk up to any single opponent without being dead in 3 seconds and not knowing how it happened or what I should have done to stop it.
I appreciate that there are a lot of people who spend the time and effort to get really good at this game, awesome, I'm just not one of them, and I don't want to play with them.
I'm a casual player and my only goal is to have fun and explore how the game works, not to prove to the world how unstoppable I am with the latest best hero.
Maybe it just needs some time to sort people out again, but it's really taking a while this time around, S10 matchmaking was the best I had experienced since I started playing this game 1.5 years ago, it worked perfectly....and now it's suddenly 180°, even no matchmaking would be balanced out SOME of the time, this feels like it's actively trying to mess everything up.

Im playing right now and it's still garbage. For four days in a row, so it's not like losing and getting killed for four days straight puts you in different/better lobbies. If they want people to quit the game, they're doing a really good job. If this continues, im out.Originally Posted by Amerikanovich Go to original post
I just bought Jormungandr and i can't even do anything with him. Everything gets blocked, dodged, parried, guardbroken etc, etc. It may sound like im overreacting, but im not. The difference between matches since the update is just extremely noticable. Not just in the fighting, but also in player behaviour. Emote spam and chat spam for example was rare for me to see. Now everyone does it. Not that i care about emote spam, but it does tell me what kind of players im up against now. Sweats, who feel the need to prove them selves in videogames.
And you're right. One team is always getting stomped. No balance. No close games. Just played a match on Gauntlet and i managed to get into a team of sweats and i could not kill anyone, because my teammates killed them in like 2 seconds flat. This is why you see so many bots right now. People quit lobbies, because the lobbies are garbage. I can't blame them. But if Ubi does not do something quick, they're not just gonna quit lobbies. They're gonna quit the game.
MM sometimes wasn't perfect. You'd get the occasional stomp. But most of the time it was pretty balanced and FUN win or lose. Now it's just terrible. Like im literally pointing and laughing at my TV screen.
Also: Do you get 1st place on your team in Dom allot? Because i usually outscore my teammates even while getting stomped. Maybe i should stop ptfo for a while and just get killed. Maybe my MMR will finally drop then.

Day 5. Still no changes. Lost the last match of Dominion like 175 against 1000. Bottom two players on my team went 0-8 and 0-9. I've literally never seen that.
Well im out until they sort this out. I've never really complained about the game. But this is ****ing ridiculous. And im not the only one because the so called pro streamers were playing against noobs aswell ever since the MM changes.
There is no point in playing Dom now. These players are so sweaty it's pathetic. I mean go ahead and sweat over a videogame. But me, i play casual so i expect to play against other casuals who don't take this **** that serious. And that has always been the case. Until now.
Sweats can play against other sweats. Don't bother me with that ********. Might aswell put the controller down lol. I have to put in some serious ammount of effort JUST to do a bit of damage. Let alone get a kill. And im not gonna "git gud" i don't have time for that.
Seriously im not touching this until i hear something about changes. Way to sell your new hero Ubisoft. I've not had any fun with Jormungandr ever since i unlocked the guy. Utterly worthless MM.

I've started taking screenshots of the scoreboard at the end of every match, keep hoping it will get better but it's always the same...
Honestly I've gotta say I'm out too, I love this game so much but it's done nothing but put me in an awful mood every time I play it and it's not getting better, why the game thinks I should be set against opponents who can literally parry and deflect every light on reaction is beyond me, I have never been that good and I never will be, there is nothing I can do.
To the people who keep saying it's because there's so few players, that's why the matchmaking can't find any good matches:
Why was it so much better at the end of last season than the beginning of this one then??
And why doesn't it just split the talents 50/50 instead of putting all the best on one side?
This just isn't working at all.

^ Yup. Haven't played today yet and i probably won't.
One thing i've noticed aswell btw is that you're up against pre-mades allot more than last season. Guys having the same emblems, same gamertags. DarkDestroyer, DarkKiller, DarkStomper etc, etc. That's probably why all the randoms get thrown on one pile and it's an easy win for these pre-mades.
I've also never seen so many 180 Gear score players in all my time playing. Like i came across high rep overall players before, but they'd play a hero they'd have low rep with. You know, people who play every hero (like me) but now im facining 100 rep players who have like 76 reps with Shugoki. Like wtf? The highest i've ever seen before was like 12 reps with a hero tops. Now im seeing people who appear to be maining heroes since day 1.
I'll play again next week. To see if anything changed, but i doubt it.
