Seal clubbers are lighting up Facebook complaining that they're getting matched up with other level 30 players in gold tier. The comment sections are interesting reads. ?

I'm curious as to why there was no update, was one not necessary for the new MM ?

Where are you reading these posts? I would like to see some "just deserts". I've eaten plenty of Geps today, one of my boas killed three geps from the same player as his "charge at enemy holding red button tactic" proved ineffective.

Wait a sec, I mean, there are those of us who aren't clubbers and genuinely like our Silver hangars (1 Gepard only included, the rest mediums) - but my matchups are exactly what he posted above. I get matched with Gold 8/10 to TT 12/12. And even after my win rate has sunk massively due to this, I'm still matched with that. How's that balanced?

It's been great hunting of 4/12-12-12 Mag Gepards today.
I killed a dozen of these a match where they platooned - but got placed in top tier.
These guys are used to winning. You can tell because none of them jinked while firing at my Plasma Gal - they either ran straight up or moved in only one direction laterally.
Me, I was jinking while firing and they missed enough that my shield lasted through half of them. Two Plasma Gals burned through them all. It's time to club the clubbers!

I think in our vengeful zeal against clubbers, some legit innocent players are getting caught in the net. This guy doesn't strike me as a clubber in the same vein as 1/12 MagGeps. Look at his avg kills, damage, and win rate. To be fair, his victories (1139) give him away as a veteran, but I've said all along I want the ability as a veteran to be able to play against other veterans in lower tiers. Making the game a dedicated progression to Gold/TT is a mistake.

It's already been said that a factor of ELO is that newbs get there own bracket. I consider that in my statement. Yes, I happen to think through my statements no matter how mundane they are.

Yes, to the point where no stomping occurs and matches are competitive. Like jumping on a wild horse, that thing is going to buck and kick and bounce you off at first, but if you can get on and hang on, you might just get it to settle down!

Yes, to the point where no stomping occurs and matches are competitive. So, if they win due to skill, rather than gear (clubber) they will effectively be punished by high levels that do not face the same punishment if they win due to skill? Apparently fair and/or competitive is a very relative term to the gold tier players.

Well something is up. I just had my 3/7 light hangar with a 1/5 Patton thrown against Rhinos, Raijins, Griffins, etc. My poor Cossack got vaporized. Lost a few and it seemed to settle back down.
If they are making this large of a change to MM it's going to be a bit crazy at first as it adjusts I'd think.

I just ran another match and I still haven't seen the change yet. Can anyone confirm, has this only happened for iOS so far?

Yep, I've had a lot of that in the four games I've played today, except they were either getting hit with my High Gold hanger with my weakest bot being a ~9/9 Zues Carnage and watching them bounce off a 9/9.5 Taran/Thunder Lance was hilarious. I played 4 games and I have no doubt that there are definite MM changes at play on IOS right now. I also have to add that it felt like each of the four games got a bit better and more balanced. I mean, 2/5 Geps, then 3/9 Geps, then 4/12 Geps in each of my first three games. I also had at least one 12/12 TT guy on each team in each of my four games.

Maybe this is what I was seeing today. If it is I don't like it AT ALL. My main account is Android, but I have another on iOS that I play sometimes. I have a high silver hangar and a low bronze (2/5 lights) hangar in iOS. Today, every single time I tried to play my 2/5 lights, I was put into high silver matches. I tried multiple times off and on over a few hours, thinking it was the hangar switch delay bug. Now I'm not so sure. If this new MM makes it impossible for me to switch tiers easily for variety, I'm going to be liking this game a lot less.

No matter how skillfull you are is your team mates suck you won't win. The reverse is also true, you can win a battle without doing anything. I hwve been in both ! Lost battle's with 4 Campers on my side and won battles while having connection troubles. It is not all skill that influences your win rate.

I played 2 games on both, iOS and Android, gold tier and saw zero difference. iOS is typically a wider variety of levels though in my experience.

I feel it is a fair MM now. If you want to complain, 「female dog」 and moan without video proof of the issue i will not listen or believe your complaint.
Perhaps you just Don't have the skill to be using the bots and weapons you fast tracked for the tier you are in.
My clan mates and I have played 30 matches this morning. I am running 6/8 leos and 6/8 griffs. We are definatly seeing gold tier members.
But guess what? The teams are evenly spread. You get one player with top notch bots and a few who definatly do not.
It comes down to your skill. You had a great score because you were using Gepard/aphid and you found it easy to kill players. Those players usually never gave much resitance, they were the same caliber of player as you or less. Welcome to the big leagues. We can dip,duck,dodge and dive ya.
Perhaps using the gep for its intended purposes. Cap the beacons and chip the health. Learn how to use your robots and weapons.
I'll say it again. If you want to complain, post a video of your game play and what your opponants were using. just from watching your movements I could probably tell you what tier you should be in.
Cheers and good luck relearning how to use a full hanger of diffrent bots.
