To all those whining about the new MM: relax

Ok, first of all, I'm going to repeat something I've said on the rant board: Seeing all the "I've so carefully built (more like, bought) a 5 gep hangar to slaughter newbies and now I'm getting slaughtered" cries here and in other venues is such a balm for my player's soul

Second of all: for those "You changed the rules, I want my money back": you spent your money fully knowing anything in the came could and would and will be changed. Also, did those people who bought aphids back then when they were silver weapons had to pay when they were turned gold? Those who bought any of the Bunch bots paid more when they were buffed? So, please, stop.

Third of all: you of the "The new MM benefits only the paying people": a) they paying people are complaining so, there must be something wrong and b) paying people essentially pay for time, nothing else. There is nothing that a free player can't get that a gold player cn. Slog it off long enough and you will end up in exactly the same position. Nothing stops you form earning a minimum of 1800 to 2400 gold a month by completing the daily missions, plus another 270 a month if you squad with your clan. Plus the gold that you will undoubtly keep winning, even if possibly at a slower rate than when you could club the newbies all day long. Plus that that you will get from the ever more common contests (Lunar new year? seriously?). Get a grip.

With that said:

Relax.

A) The MM is self adjusting and, in fact, it is already adjusting. I've moved from losing 10 games in a row to being back to about the same win % as before (mid gold hangar). The same is reported from most of the people in the forum that have had the patience of actually completing games, even if evidently on the losing side, rather than rage quitting because their clubbing hangar is being wasted by players of the same level playing with their everyday, heavier, hangar.

B) Yeah, your gepard hangars will probably be slightly less effective. Why? Because if it's true that there is an ELO rating and that the MM is skewed on that, all those 90% win rates will probably all go down to about 60% at first and then they will pobably develop the same ranking (as they have the same playing behaviour) end up matched against each other. What we will probably see is games with full swarms of gepards rather than the single gepard hangar massacring everyone else. That, it seems to me, is already happening: I've been back to bronze (well, what used to be bronze... nyway, with lighter bots which I suppose played on the hangar weight part of the equation) as I got one of those beacon missions and what I saw is that, if before the change I got the lonely seal clubbr every 5 games, this time I got 4 games out of 10 where there were 3 or 4 gepard hangars in play. It was actually kind of fun to see them circling each other while I was jumping around with my cossack.

C) You want to have fun? Then squad. I've been in two games with squads made of only gepards (from clan currently number 22 and 30something). They basically played raptor pack tactics and they were devastating, including taking down trident and zeus furies (when three ghepards run at you, one might fall, but the ther two will reach the target). Yes, that means you will not be the one getting 10 gold 95% of the times in less than 5 minutes as you will have to share with your teammates... and you know what? Tough. Lonely clubbers are (maybe, I hope, but I don't fully believe it unfortunately) a thing of the past, but raptor packs are probably seeing their new dawn in silver and gold (assuming those tiers and the classification they come from will have any meaning a month from now).

D) In any case, there's no need to panic, I'm sure you will find a new way of hijacking the MM to your best advantage in no time. In the meanwhile, try to look less girlish and whiney.
