I’m the type who is always reading the end-of-game scoring and trying to improve my stats with every battle. In some games, I’m on fire & racking in 8+ kills & over 1,000,000 in damage points (not too bad for Expert League III). But it seems like sometimes when I upgrade a weapon or bot, I’m suddenly dealing significantly less damage, less kills, and dying off faster. It’s one thing if the other team has 3 dashers zipping around all packing orkans — that’s just bad luck lol — but I don’t understand how I can go from being the top performer on my team for like 5 consecutive games then suddenly become the worst player on the team in the following 5 consecutive games, only dealing out 200,000 - 300,000 in damage and killing my Last 50 average. There are usually no major differences in the other player’s bot/weapon levels either because believe me, I check. Has anybody else experienced anything like this?

Have you checked who the MM matched you against? Maybe you are on the beat down. |

That's the match maker. I haven't had it happen to me lately on my main account (E3) because I'm often over my head: out gunned and out played, and don't often score in the top three. It happens quite frequently on my Smurf account (B3), where I'll be top scorer, with most kills and most capped beacons. The next game or two, I'll be down towards the bottom.

All the shield and ancile busting are the biggest culprits for me, but I know what you mean.

There's been a thread or two on suspected hangar nerfing. No proof, but many of us have experienced this same thing. I've had games so horrible that I expect to see a red team full of champions and masters, only to find all experts with lower level hangars than mine. I'm talking games where my hangar seems to melt at the very sight of a red bot. Then I'll have million+ high-damage games with masters and champions on both teams. Same bots, same maps, outrageously different results that make absolutely no sense. People will accuse me of wearing the tin foil hat, but I'd swear that MM is covertly screwing with my hangar specs.

Match Making is cruelly insane,for me it's either feast or famine. Today I'm top gun against School for the Blind, 90% win rate.So tomorrow I can count on being matched against Seal Team 6 mk2 L12 on steroids (although the profiles do not reflect this). Win rate 7%. MM has to keep me at 50%,but why must it be so drastic? I swear it's like this constantly. |

Man that description you gave was so on point, youâre definitely not crazy because it sounds just like what was happening to me within the last week. Today I was posted up with my Lv 10 Raijin packing two Lv 9 Zeusâs trying to cause at least a little bit of damage on the most invincible Boa Iâve ever encountered â it was more like Titanoboa to be honest. Then up runs that little bouncing green 「roast beef」 Rogatka and with just a few pops off his Tarans he managed to destroy my body shield & kill me in a matter of seconds. It happened so fast that I was like âWhat just happened?â But apparently that was just a prelude to the really bad afternoon I was going to have because my avg stats went from (4.0 killsâ550,000 damageâ67% victories) & rapidly fell to (2.9â344,000â39%). They mopped the floor with me lol. It always seems to come in waves too. My theory was that it was another little shady trick from the game designer to cause people to spend more money to level up their bots. |

Same bots, same maps, outrageously different results that make absolutely no sense. People will accuse me of wearing the tin foil hat, but I'd swear that MM is covertly screwing with my hangar specs. I know what you mean about the seeming to being pounded by Masters and Legends, and they wind up being Experts or lower. I've lost count how many -22 matches I've had lately. As for million point matches, I've only had a few, and none of them in the past couple of months. I'm barely clinging on to E3. I was almost halfway to E2 before the latest update, but not now. I've dropped down to D1 a couple of times, but manage to claw my way back up to E3, but just barely. It's gotten so bad that I hardly play my main account, spending most of my time on my Smurf account the past few days. Something's not right, because it took me literally months to get to Gold on my main account after I first started playing. I started my Smurf account three days ago, and I'm already to Bronze I. What's scary is. I've gone up against Gold III players. I have all silver weapons and bots, and no monthly premium. I've sold any components that I've won on BM spins for Ag. I'll worry about whether or not to collect components after I've built a suitable hangar. Sorry. Got off topic. Yes, I strongly agree that something is wrong with the damage point ratio. I've suspected (perhaps being paranoid) for some time that if MM wants you to lose, you're going to lose, no matter what hangar you take to battle. You could take out 6 MK II Roachies. If MM decides it's your turn to lose, the reds will "coincidentally" have MK II Zeus and sh*ttrains waiting to barbecue your ?bum-bum?. But Pix.poo says there's nothing wrong with matchmaker. |

My theory was that it was another little shady trick from the game designer to cause people to spend more money to level up their bots. I've had many an evening such as you describe. It gets to the point where I have to put the game away for the night before my phone goes airmail through the nearest wall. I've come close a couple of times. I've even uninstalled the game on more than one occasion. But through some uncontrollable stupidity, I keep coming back for more. I'm such a glutton for punishment. I guess almost 37 years of marriage makes you somewhat immune. |

Guess it must be an Android thing, because I don't know what you guys are on about. For me in Masters, almost always hard matches are against Champs with high level stuff and easy ones are against Experts with moderate stuff. The occasional exception is likely due to a skilled (or lucky) pilot with lower level gear who got the best of me.
