There have been a few threads now about a noticeable change in MM since the start of the Halloween event.
A few thing several players have experienced/observed is a penalty for lvl 11 weapons. Pretty consistently, a lvl 11 weapon on a low gold bot puts you in much tougher matches. Also, a lvl 11 weapon on a Gepard of lvl 1 to 3 consistently puts you in matches with 8/10 heavies.
Interestingly, a 4/11 gep hanger is getting easier matches than the 2/11. Somewhere in between seems to be Pixonic's attempt to thwart seal clubbing,which I'm all for.
However, the silver hanger that I've worked so hard to build is getting the same matches as my 8/10 low gold hanger. In fact, I can't seem to land a hanger in silver anymore since all my orcans and tarans are now lvl 10 for gold hanger and all my mags are lvl 11. Now my silver hanger is useless.
I wonder if my 4/11 hanger would see normal competition if my average damage was under 450k for a while. That's the only variable I haven't been able to change yet.
All thoughts, observations and/or input would be greatly appreciated.

You might just be running into a small MM pool and things start getting mashed together.
You should post your hanger, maybe something else is throwing you off.

3/9,5/8 mediums are the safest silver spot, anything higher is on the border for getting grabbed by gold during super populated and graveyard hours.

Yes finally no more clubbing new players. Level 11 weapons have no place in bronze or silver to begin with.

My hanger was literally 3 x 2/11 geps and 2 x 4/10 geps or a 3/7 boa. That landed gold 8/10 heavies every time. |

Ugg, I was just writing a response to discourage more "Is the Gep a Clubber" discussion, when I realized you are the OP!
As far as the initial question... I truly don't know what has changed, but I am almost sure something has. Wish I could say more, but short of confirming that I have noticed a different trend to my matchups (In my case, matches have gotten a lot better and I have not been thrown into max hanger matchups in quite a while... I sit at 6/8 heavies, btw...) that is all I can say.

Maybe they weighted the weapons differently... Something that needs(-ed?) to be done. I'm sure that it will be tweaked as they go if they did implement a change. If so, I dig that they are paying attention, and hope they are able to address any new balance issues that come from any changes in order to bring balance!! LOL
I imagine that it's like the ripple effect, 1 pebble dropped in a pool, but a lot of surface motion. 1 change, that affects a whole lot of other things that may not have been apparent when they decided to do it. So it may not stay like it is for long, either way.
IF they did change it, that is.

I have noticed that whenever my average damage gets to 489,000 it gives me really one-sided matches for a while that end quickly until it gets to around 420,000. Then it goes back up and repeats the process

I noticed that it doesn't always lower it by making you lose, for me it just makes games really quick one way or another so I don't get time tot do damage. It's already done the cycle twice today except I managed to get it up to 499,000 (I didn't look after every game so who knows I may have gone higher) which is a personal best.

hmmmm although i am not at 489k but i did have similar issues... at one moment i was on 4 player teams vs rather good structured 6 player teams, and i mean this happened 2-3 times in a row before getting a bad 6 player team vs a rather good 6 player team XD
my avarage is around 300k and 370k. at 350k hell begins... though 4 vs 6 and keep winning is the best XD (but matches last for 10-15 mins which i dont like that much)

Hmmm. I put an 9/10 aphid Patton in over an 9/10 rhino and got bumped to harder competition. Usually never see many lvl 11-12 bots/weapons with current hanger. But I saw them consistently after putting in a 9/10 aphid Patton in over an 9/10 rhino This is my normal hanger.  |
