Ridiculous Matchmaking

Greetings, Although there are similar posts and complaints regarding this issue, I would like to point this out one more time. Seriously. Why are we getting same team mates for consecutive games? J...

    @paixundpace as a quickfix, at the countdown you should see the players names appear on the upper right.
    As long as the countdown is visible you can just leave the ranked game without a penalty. this is how i avoid playing with the same unvibe-ing ppl.
    And ofc you should prolly make a list of players you dont like, since they likely will show up another day.

Unless you play in Diamond-Pred lobbies as a solo, especially at off-hours, the easiest fix to your problem is to just wait 10-20 seconds after you get out of the last match. Chances are ofc highest to get the same teammates if you all returned to the lobby at the same time and pressed "Ready" at the same time for the same ranked lobby.

But if you just wait, the chances of getting the same teammates is almost zero.

I wonder though how such solution would affect the matchmaking, especially at higher elos where the number of solos and duos are much lower than bronze to gold. The number of possible allowed squad constellation would be greatly reduced if every solo or duoing players in the queue have multiple names on their ban-list and we all know that people would add people to that list like they fat people add butter to sandwich. Like "oh he did less dmg than me--> ADD" or "oh he didnt threw himself to the rescue when I choose to run into full team 1v3-->ADD" =)

    @Balladalidilai think you misunderstood what i ment, im thinking of a plain paper list as a reminder for the player to recognize the players he doesnt like. Not as some actually working banlist in the game itself. i know that a ban filter would boost queue times tenfold, mine would be full of stuff like : no octanes, no tier 0 players, only players that have at least 10% of my overall frags, no players that use my main ect.

      I would actually like such thing but more because you then could dodge the match earlier if dont get a full team. I know you can just suicide right away if you dont wanna play solo and try to rat your way to RPs but it would still save you a minute or so =)

        @Balladalidila this is possible atm, as i said ... leave during the countdown screen when not enough names will be shown. Doesnt trigger any penalty. But i catch your drift, would be very convenient to have a "play only with a full team" checkbox. But as that one forum member described in his study about the matchmaking : Its likely on purpose to get dealt such unfilled games, at least to a certain degree.
