https://deadlocktracker.gg/ for checking your hidden mmr btw.

None of the trackers were actually getting Valve's value for hidden MMR (this isn't given to clients or available in any API), they just had their own form of MMR that was estimated based on the games they had seen. This isn't really ever going to be as accurate as an MMR system driven by the thing doing the matchmaking, and especially for tracklock I found the values to be extremely suspect. Valve also killed the way these trackers were viewing game data as of 3 weeks ago, so they are no longer useful or updated (at least until Valve creates an API for deadlock like it has for dota)

And thank god for that. People forming '1700 MMR parties' etc on the discord when MMR doesn't even exist yet was quite dumb.
Not to mention deadlocktracker and tracklock - the 2 existing tracking sites - gave different values XD

That's interesting I'm new to all of these.

I do think the hidden mmr exists tho.

My matchmaking opponents are getting much more challenging to beat.

Yes, hidden MMR exists and is used by the game for matchmaking (both for the teams/players in the match and also the lane matchups). That much has been confirmed by the devs in the official discord.

Wait so there are MMRs attached to lanes?

I think so, I can feel it, the more I play, the better I got my opponents got increasingly harder.

Yeah, it tries to balance the game such that evenly skilled players are matched up by lane (but obviously depending on who is in the game, this can be hard to do). If you queue with people of wildly different skill level you'll probably notice you end up in a lot of solo lanes and such.

The devs had said a few weeks back that they were working on a new version of the matchmaker that would improve things a fair amount, not sure what changes they plan to make though (or if they're already in or something)

Reddit is just really bad these days. Horrible, almost. I'm back to playing a MOBA and posting on good ol' TeamLiquid.

I'm not good at this game, but it's very fun and addicting.

Yeah I am really impressed. Not just the game but it's way less toxic than the MOBAs I have played.
I also like how big the balance patches are, rather than fine-tuning like it's close to the finishing line

That's classic Icefrog (Deadlock game dev who also balances Dota 2)..
Doesn't matter how old the game is, a balance patch will change nearly every hero and nearly every item, and quite frequently he will also bring huge mechanical or map changes.
They'll get less frequent though, right now we seem to get a balance patch every 2 weeks, that'll change as the game gets more polished. It'll be more like a season approach.

Is there evidence Icefrog is balancing Deadlock?

Fair question. Everyone says Icefrog is behind Deadlock, I'm not sure where that originated from or if it was ever officially stated. The wikipedia also says it was "reportedly helmed by" icefrog, based on this article: https://dotesports.com/dota-2/news/breaking-valve-secret-neon-prime-project-could-be-new-sci-fi-dota-game

It sure feels like icefrog balancing, but actual evidence isn't there yet.

My favorite is Lash, but I'm not very good with him. Negative win rate. Never end up farmed. But he's so fun.

I've been playing Mcginnis a lot lately. She's not nearly as fun as Lash... but I can abuse the macro game with her. Non stop push and farm. Disregard 90% of what's going on with the team. And people underestimate the power of her turrets.

Loving McGinnis.
Build purple and farm the map.
