Why is the match making , making this game unplayble

So I just had a aram game where every single one of my teammates was under player lvl 200 with one player being level 28… Am 1091 myself.

Now player level is not always a direct determination of skill am usually on par with people lvl 2000-3000. The problem is people dont usually have a sound understanding of the game and heroes until about PL 600 or so why am getting matched with the lowest players possible? How can match making be this broken on such a regular basis it just dosent make sense anymore

Enemy level is as follows, player lvls: 481, 716, 1986, 1408, 1372

This means the enemy team is something like 6-8x the player of my team. Needless to say it was stomp for the enemy team with my team having no idea what they where even doing its was a waste of digital bandwidth. The amount of games in the last week that have been one sided due to massive player lvl/skill difference is overwhelming.

Quick match is just as broken of course even more so with premades. The game thinks low level premades should go up against players 4xs their lvl just to compensate. I lose more games with crap noob premades then I ever would in a all random. Sometimes feels like I get put into these impossible game’s where am expected to carry, there no point in me queing up as a healer or anybody who cant carry a game because I will never win otherwise.

Rip good match making

Account lvls means nothing in this game nor does it tell how skilled they are. Also ARAM has no matchmaking since its just a clown mode.

Must low lvl accounts today are just smurfs and high lvl accounts are easy to get in AI mode.

This is mostly true. The smuf will either be highly skilled, or not at all and be the kind of player who thinks they are stuck in “MMR hell”, but are just not skilled.

aram
matchmaking

stopped reading there, yet another thread about a thing that doesnt exist

there is literally no matchmaking or mmr in aram, only in qm, unranked and sl

Too much potatoes…

In my experience most players 2k plus are bronze at best.

It’s the sub 100s that are smurfs these days… honestly how many new players are coming in? Most sub 100 accounts are just Plat+ players looking to dominate.

Agreed, I honestly don’t think there are many new players, HOTS isn’t advertised, so it would be friends introducing players (I’ve done this) or people watching a steamer, which doesn’t happen much for HOTS.

If the matchmaking is horrible in this game, it’s mostly due to a declining player-base.

Old accounts get banned when trying to tell potatoes “don’t die in a stupid way”, so new ones are created / played until ban expires (personal experience). :stuck_out_tongue:
