Problems with finding matches #11846

Description

After the update with the fight against Smurfs, very weak players began to be selected for my team. It seems to me that something has broken in my account, and it needs to be fixed. Otherwise, I don't see any point in playing when every game ends in defeat.

Curiously, for the first few days I got into a match with very strong players in both teams, as if they had 8,000 or higher rating (I have almost 3,000), but then searching started picking up more or less suitable for my rating (or skill, as you want) against me, but picking up my team people who simply do not know how to play, or frankly ruin games. I no longer have the strength to tolerate this inadequate searching.

My profile number: 103042831.

Thank you if you notice and give an answer about the solution, or suggestions for what to do, because now the game is already pushing me away, and if this continues, I will leave it forever.

are you asking back for smurfs for better game qualities in your bracket? 😆 im not an expert in analysis but there are a few ways you can increase your chances of winning, namely:

  1. identify users what time of the day do you play? e.g.1 fridays, weekends around 5pm-midnight more likely to meet teenagers / students who just play for fun, not caring about winning or losing, trying new heroes meta e.g.2 weekdays after 2am teenagers / students sleep as they have morning classes, so you're more likely to meet older, hardcore players who play until morning. better skills maybe? you'll also meet higher bracket because not enough player playing at this time e.g. archon in divine / ancient bracket. happen to me few times. usually lowest medal cores paired up with highest vs middle like so. image I think this means if you're the team in the middle average, game is harder and you're more likely to lose so you need to try harder. e.g.3 repeat the same time and day of the week you often win. avoid time when you lose a lot because you're more likely to meet the same players that annoyed you e.g. 5pm when kids just got home. e.g.4 maybe check dota profiles at start of game. what are your pos 1 and 2 diagrams like? high pushing = win a lot. you cant do building dmg if you dont win. if this is your enemy diagram, i dont know how you'll win this, you need to try harder because this will be a difficult game. image high fighting + farming but not pushing = might be feeders / dive a lot. image with this kind of cores diagram you're more likely to lose. high farming low fighting = only join teamfights late game. high support + low versatility / farm = bad sup. only buy wards and do nothing. image high support + high versatility = good sup. know how to counter heroes meta / synergize with team picks.

no need to check all games, maybe just when you really want to win, you got a weak draft e.g. lack stuns, or notice something odd like ancient in archon bracket. e.g. low pushing ancient? no need to worry, just play like usual. vs high pushing ancient might need to change your playstyle e.g. use sentries to block camps. harass them early game etc. im just copy pasting first part of my notes otherwise it'll be too long, but hope it helps

Oh, I love such answers to the question: "Problems with the search, and do you find weak players?" "THE PROBLEM IS YOU, PLAY BETTER!"

I opened this topic for developers and not for people from Reddit (you're from Reddit, right?) who are not authorized in hidden statistics and profile settings. I will repeat once again, and I will no longer respond to such comments: before the update, there was a normal search, I was selected players for both teams according to my skill, a little lower or a little higher. Right now, mostly weak players are being picked up by me, because of which I have been losing on any heroes for 2 weeks and any role. I suspect that some settings/indicators(call it what you want, developers should know better how they take into account which players to select) my account broke down, and now I have a wrong game search.

Thank you for the answer, but please - you don't need to recommend me how to play. On my rating, I play on my rating. In ~10 years of playing, I am able to distinguish the level of the game from a broken game search system.
