Valve's next shooter Deadlock is only in its very limited playtesting phase, to be fair, but, man, is its matchmaking broken. Not even the developers that helped create it are free from its fury.

In the official Deadlock Discord server, accessible only through the game itself, a player complains to Valve developer Yoshi (via Reddit screenshots), "The matchmaking is still messed up, im ascendant 3 and i got put into an oracle lobby." Yoshi responds, "same here." So, that's not good.
