Anyone else struggling to enjoy the game due to insane skill gaps and horribly lopsided matchmaking? (feddit.nu)

Out of every 10 games I play, maybe one of them is a close, even game where everyone is on roughly the same skill level - and that's probably me being generous.

Almost every game has people on either team not just losing their lane but going something like 0-17. I know it's early alpha and has had a huge influx of players recently so maybe it's to be expected to some extent, but even back in my Dota days matchmaking was never this bad. This is like, public WC3 Dota 1 lobbies level.

How are you guys finding it? Anyone break through the MMR barrier into a point where you're getting consistently good games? How long did it take, and what MMR? (you can check here

One recent game I've played everyone was disconnected except me, so I had the whole map to myself. I explored the entire map and broke all the vases which was interesting. More to the point, I was also able to kill everyone that wasn't in base and collected soo many souls.

The next game I played was different then any other because my team played different then what I'm used to. Everyone actually farmed and retreated after finishing an objective (rather than keep pushing). It was as if the previous game "ranked me up" and I was placed with other people that were a higher rank which in turn helped me do better.

All previous games there would always be new people that would get pushed back really quickly and die a lot which usually meant getting destroyed by the giant snowball the other team became. That last game was refreshing, I'm sort of scared to play again. D:
