Maybe this is only news to me, but it would appear that the MM has determined that I really suck and must be punished. My average damage, league points, and mechs killed per battle all continue to climb even though my win rate is plummeting.
I had this sort of hilarity occur once before. I got angry then.
This time around, I see it for the absurdity it is. The truly annoying part is that my silver accrual is taking a beating.

Is this an idle thought?
Do you earn a strike for posting in section?

You don't suck, you are doing great! You continue to climb the league, thus you are repeatedly proving to be the strongest player on your team. See, the way I see it there are 4 categories of War Robots pilots: The ones the MM wants to feel awesome, the top half of the winning team. The ones the MM has decided are going up come hell or high water, the bottom half of the winning team. The ones the MM uses to make the game look like a real fight, the top half of the losing team. And the rest of us.  |

I went up to 76% win rate over the update period when the servers were delinked, and matchmaker is dragging me right back down to the 50% area since we relinked.

To keep my win rates up even in squad my damage and other stats have halved. Damned if I do damned if I dont.

Maybe try playing during different times of the day. I tend to notice that my games are better earlier in the morning and start to really suck by mid to late evening. There must be a time window where tougher games like to play.

Something that might help. I used feel like I had to carry the stupids. Wanted that win so bad. Also important; don't always follow the Lemming train. A lot of the stupids.

My 2-3 games during my lunch break netted me five figures of silver each time. Dude.

There’s not much for gauging skill in this game - it’s very possible that you’re a skilled player but matchmaking puts you against people with gear you can’t compete with. Not sure though, since I haven't seen you play lol.

There must be a time window where tougher games like to play. Unfortunately, I can’t really schedule my time like that. Between family and work and the property, I really can only fit in a game or few here and there as I can. Win rate slowly climbing, damage is up, kills are up somewhat, and league score keeps climbing .  |

Win rate slowly climbing, damage is up, kills are up somewhat, and league score keeps climbing . You still have more cups than me and I probably have more meta stuff than you! This season's start has been pretty tough. Been losing a lot of games lately and I think I'm hovering around the 5k line. If this keeps up, I'll fall into M1 again. Oh well. |

You'd be hard pressed to have less meta stuff than me since I have no meta weapons and no meta titan anything. Thankfully, I Gumped my way into a Scorpion so I'm trying that out, although, it's pretty nerf at level 4 using 1/12 Orkans and a 1/7 Blaze, and a level 9 anonymous pilot.
Damage is down, kills are down somewhat, win rate is up a lot, and cups are up a bit.

Forgot the 4th type - people who are so good at slacking they suck the rest of the team down the drain with them. |

One time they purposely pushed my leo (My strongest bot) into the void on a map. That was the last robot in my hangar, so basicly I was killed by a teammate. |
