Your initial comment pretty much nailed it, so i didnt feel the need to reply right away. So id say your course of action was fine - you didnt say anything outside of normal player logic.

I havent gotten any messages or mentions, but the thread did continue to grow... mostly a place for people to vent it seems. But im not seeing any specific matchmaking information here.

Id still be happy to take a look into OPs history if they send me an IGN/Match ID - but i realize im late to the party so maybe wont get much response.

Thanks!

6am ranked conquest is going to be low population and can result in this type of match.

Id expect more normal hours to be much better though based on the populations we are seeing for NA-West

If you had a 3 or 4 stack vs a group of solos at even skill level, the familiar group with comms wins every time.

Also Casual is supposed to be a mode to be enjoyed and relax a bit, chat with your friends and try new things out or practise. & Honestly If your not having fun because u and ur friends determine teammates are losing all your games, then MOBAs may not be your thing. Try Arena or Joust or a battle royale.

SMITE does not stack lower MMR players with parties.

The matchmaker will aim to get the entire 10 players within the closest MMR and level of each other as it would for any other match.

This is often complicated when players create parties with wide MMR or level differences within the party, though.

Usually the easiest way to contact me is when i reply in the thread asking for IDs, which I havent done here yet. Thanks for linking the previous post!

I didn't come as quickly to reply here because what OP is describing is not really a matchmaking issue. Its a player behavior or playerbase culture issue.

SMITE matchmaking is built off wins and losses, there is no individual performance factor (for good reason)

SMITE behavior moderation includes lots of auto detection for issues like feeding, afking, refusing to fight, refusing to play role, and similar issues. This is all tracked and included with the report. See here: ...

Short Answer: it shouldnt

Long Answer:

Seems you already know this, but it can happen if the queue size is really low, or it could be from somewhat rare or unintended bugs. Most of the complaints ive seen regarding this come from the early morning hours, where there are not that many people queueing. But i still like to check and make sure.

If you can provide a match ID, or a smiteguru link to the match, or anything I can look into it and confirm.

Lots of people using this thread to kinda dogpile on SMITE matchmaking, but matchmaking is pretty simple:

The Queue Pops - matchmaker takes the top 10 MMR players in the entire queue - makes that match - then balances the teams by average MMR for those 10 players only - then repeat for players 11-20, 21-30, etc.

If the top 10 happens to include a huge range of MMR (because not enough people are in the queue at that time) - the result can be these type of matches, like OP described, but th...
