It was different.
Still mixing leagues but appeared to be far more hanger level based. Most matches I played had blues and reds with more or less the same levelled gear in the hangers. My stuff is all 10/11 with two Tarans at 12, most games had players with something very similar. Still meant players being pulled from Expert through Champs, but all similarly levelled gear. Didn’t take account of old Meta v New, but did appear to take the level of gear into account. Seen the odd Diamond player, but checking their hanger they were again in the same ball park.
It seemed to be working that way for most of the evening, then my win rate got up close to 70% and the machine clicked into beat down mode and dropped me into a few MKII dash squad games just to teach me a lesson.
Maybe it was just a random happening but it was a lot of fun. Also afforded me the opportunity to see some very good players, seen a few solid champs with old Meta 10/10 hangers, that can’t be easy these days.

I think it is random but when I get it, its brilliant. Its very nice to guys still in the same meta and more-or-less the same levels. Usually very tough games that come down to the wire but even if I lose it's fine because we were in with a chance throughout, and when you win those... That's when I fire all my guns and jump my bot around like a crazy fool. The best of War Robots for sure! |

Wish I could report the same. Noticed some oddness last night but no alignment of hangar strength in IOS E2. I’ve been running an under-leveled stalker just because I wanted some fun and dont care if I drop anymore. E3 vs E2 is such a huge difference, but even running a suboptimal damage hangar I saw a higher win percentage and actually climbed vs dropped. I figured I was either on a random up streak or maybe the few extra beacons I was grabbing actually made an impact. But I still saw mostly max or MKII DIES with the 2-3 Champs in each match. Then 0-1 Masters and the rest Expert, all of whom were leveled like what Champs looked like before dashes (lv 10-12 legacy bots and weapons). Felt like more shocktrains than usual too. Exhibit A:  Here’s what I was running:  |

I'm Expert 3/2 with "ok" hangar. The most fancy bot I have is a Lancelot. Yesterday I was playing against someone from the clan, which is at 7th position in clan ranking. This guy alone made the match, scoring over 1.5m damage. Guess what kind of bots he was running;) No, the MM hasn't changed one bit. At least for me.

9 shocktrains is a bit nuts.
Actaully seems like a waste of options, if you need 3 maxed MKII shocktrain Haechi's I think you are doing something wrong, he should throw in some Orkans or some of those invisable fire bots all the cool kids are on about. (say's the armchair expert with zero shocktains)

(say's the armchair expert with zero shocktains) Shocktrain is an absolute bollocks overpowered piece of sheit no skill weapon. I know cause I run it. But running 3? You're right, that's just incredibly dumb.

Didnt you hear? Hardware IS the new skill.
Shocktrains. Home shopping network's take on armaments for giant robots.

Honestly, it was the win total that caught my eye - only 1k wins so probably a pretty new player. Hangars like that don’t even make me flinch anymore. Just part of War Robots these days.

Unfortunately, it’s gotten worse for me. I’ve been in champions for a long time and I’m no longer competitive or willing to spend more money. I’m not enjoying the game much, so I’m wondering if next season I embrace the tank to a lower league. I really don’t condone this, but what choice do I have? I enjoyed the game a lot before the dash bot invasion. In addition, since mk2 and shocktrain, I’ve seen my stats wins and rewards all diminish. I only have 1 dash bot and no mk2. Use to average over 900k but now I’m around 700k range with 30% to 40%. Plus the shocktrain is just killing the game. |

Yeah, that's what strikes me, too. I mean if you've played for years, are up there in Champ, reasonably addicted to the game, want to stay up there. Then I can maybe a tiny little bit understand spending a few hundred bucks. But having played the game for two or three months and then dumping thousands into it? Poor soul. Or, he's played it forever, but only won 100 games at a 2% win ratio because he just sucks at the game. Now with OP gear he can finally bring his win ratio up to 22% ..  |
