Client side app pushed out (Android)... I logged in an ran a couple matches and I don't think server side is updated (didn't see any league related scoring). I did note that MM might have been reset (again). I had Destiers dropping with my maxed heavy hangar. So hold on tight, it's gonna be a bumpy ride if they're not using the previous MM stats to pre-stage your league.  |

Cool, maybe they aren't going to enable the leagues until the iOS update gets pushed out as well?

If they did reset the MM once more, I'd say it's crossing the line really.
I'm finding it difficult to believe, that they could do the same idiocy all over and over again....

Ran two quick matches and it was kind of rough. In my second match:
Saw another TT player I normally squad with/play against on red, so some top players were still matched against me.
However, I also had a Cossack drop with my team, so I know he didn't belong in the match.
We both noticed 2 players from both teams got Dc'd mid-match (not intentional, their bots were frozen). I think this was more of a issue related to the update being pushed (also noticed finding a match took forever).
Will wait for more matches (after all 2 matches is a poor metric), but at first blush it appears MM might have reset to some degree.

I didn't get any damage related cup score in the only match i managed to play so far. A glitch, or they removed them altogether?

3-2-1 and let the tanking begin. Geez people cotton on fast about setting the league baseline. Apart from the gung-ho guys taking #1 on both sides, the rest are taking it easy.

There loss. I was awarded 140 Au on placement in my league, even with my crappy hangar. Don't sandbag, it doesn't pay. Also your MM stabilizes on placement.

Looks interesting and all but if the MM is still based on average damage over the last 50 games vs what's in your hangar the moment you hit Battle then I'm going to be highly disappointed.

Large hangar changes are still not supported. You still can't go from your 9/9 premium hangar to your 4/6 light "farming" hangar and expect to see immediate change. It's not based on avg damage over 50 battles however, but on league score ( boo-boo kitty was right) that is now transparent. If you like playing lights, play lights. If you like both, run a mixed hangar. But for better or worse, the days of "my HB farming hangar, Last Stand fun hangar and premium hangar" are probably gone for good. |

If the MM is reset, we'll have some crazy leagues. After league placement, can you see what the rewards are? I also assumed that MM would remain identical, only the trophies accumulated are counted within the league. If MM is determined by the leagues and you get easier opponents in easier leagues, that would open up a whole new field of clubbing - think about getting easy opponents for a whole month!  |

All league systems that I have seen work this way. (And none would pay a promotion prize if you demoted previously.) But if a league lasts a month, and matchmaking is determined by the league, ouch, you could be in the wrong league for a month? Edit: And is there a change in the gold per battle? I'm suddenly very afraid about the consequences of this change. Please, do tell me that you can't get yourself placed in a low league by running the 5 qualification games with Ecu Cossacks? |

Yes, you can see what the reward for leveling up is. You can level up during the month as well, and hopefully this shoves the sandbaggers back to the level they belong. It is also really hard to consistently get a negative score, and Pix is talking about punishing tankers. maybe any game not completed will not score (or lose) league points or below a certain percentage of the average player score will not count? That said, I think tanking is part of the meta now. |

Guess leagues end at the end of the calendar month. It still would be smart to make the first league runs a bit shorter, so that everything sorts out. Maybe run a few 10-day-leagues in March.
I really hoped to see a tanking penalty with this update. As repair costs are assigned by the server, you could still impose max repair costs for people leaving a battle.

I think this could be really great. Haven't played a single match yet, but may start with my lighter faster and medium bots which I prefer to the heavies.
I wonder if we can stay in a particular League, not take the Challenge and fight equals. Not clubbing! Just fight others best at that level of bot/damage. Win rate at 50% is fine. Anyone know yet?

I just would like to run a few different hangers once in awhile /shrug. Let my Vit or Golem stretch its legs. As is when I see one on the red I think "squishy target" relative to where the MM normally places me (400-500k 50 game avg). Assuming I see one that is. Can't really remember the last time I saw a Vit |

This system is 「slow」. Got 700k dps clubbers fighting half size people and they can reset monthly and do it over and over... 「fluffernutter」ing stupid. Pix has to be trolling as they can't be this 「slow」 otherwise.

New MM seems cool. Played five great matches.. All my opponents and teammates seemed proportionately balanced with my hangar. Pixo might have actually did good on this one.

Played three matches so far this morning, won all three got 19 gold. Something is different with MM.
Maybe I'll play a couple more matches later and see how I get placed.
