Yeah I've been having very similar games and so are others looking at some other posts.
Still in my first bot, 5 minutes to go, take a look around and it's now 6 reds vs 2 blues left....
I'm putting it down to win rate which seems to be stuck at %60 which is quite rare for me. That and maybe the latest update has some shenanigans going on with match maker and available players.

The player base is imploding. MM has no choice but to cast its net far and wide. This is the new normal, well, until it gets worse.

This is the new normal, well, until it gets worse. ironically and also forgot to add - MOST of these players are actively playing - most of these players (90%) ARE exp 1 - master 1 , most of them have FULL mk2 or better hangers ....i've stood and watched them play , they are actively fighting and beacon capping but damage is somehow so so low and they drop like flies it's almost like they are BOTS - not robots lol but computer controlled or something   |

You could be right but I think this is a result of people being pushed up the leagues so fast. The Steamchart numbers still look very good for Pix. The krillelevator did away with competitive games. |

I believe this, but I also believe that pix is placing artificial players in matches. Whether they are AI generated or something else, I have no idea and donât claim to KNOW anything. I trust my gut feeling about this though. Im also having a hard time believing that this game, in its current nightmarish state is STILL attracting new players, paying or otherwise. They definitely tweaked their MM for this update, the match quality is consistently garbage with too many clueless players just dorking up everything. There are times I canât even get around these donuts to go get 「dookie」 done, and Im the ONLY player on my team that is moving toward a beacon? Something is definitely up |

Some weird crap is definitely going down. Two games in a row, first game and all players didn't drop for some reason and their hangars were just weird, non meta hangars with 9000+ current season cups etc. Second game, I've got 4 bots left and my team mechs out, nearly 10 mill damage and "only" 1800 honour points. Should have been another loss 6 reds vs 2 blues...... Again!   |

What was the merge they were talking about recently? mobile & pc? Maybe that didn't go quite as planned...

WAY too many 5 caps for the reds inside the first minute, I look around at my “teammates” doing nothing and I just punch out and I’m on to the next roll of the dice. Pix is tweaking ALL their controls nowadays it seems |

Maybe the mobiles platform is now seeing how many cheaters and tankers are on the PC side of things...

Definitely something strange is going on, since the update, I use my Thermite-Crisis often and I get 6 - 12 kills in lots of games ( Champions league).
I've also built a UE FENRIR and a DAGON that just don't die (I also have maxed out Ochos, Curie etc.)
Today I got a warning that I cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I suppose that these accounts that don't cap any beacons and do 600k damage are just idiots that are getting thrown into higher leagues and report strong players for cheating.
PLEASE DON'T HATE ME but I have already tanked down to Expert 1 using FFA games and I will only pay for power cells from now on.
I am almost sure that I will get reported again by the same fools.

It's no fun at all killing everyone fast. Interesting. It’s been my experience that the MM rams you up leagues, not down, especially when you’re killing the enemies fast. But what do I know? |

MM feeds the whales. I was M1/Champs two years ago. I didn't change my play style, didn't donate, made small improvements to equipment, yet still sunk to EIII. Now I am back to MIII about to hit MII. And Expert has the same bullcrap as Masters. I am thinking of changing my name to "Krill".

Games have been horrible. As a bonus seeing more of the tankers I know from expert league too. Currently krillevated into M1.
