Yep, I discovered a shelf in the MM, essentially at 1/1 Lifts I was facing Top Tier opponents, but once I equipped a Heavy 6/6 Hanger I was facing similar Hanger Strength + Elo matches. Of course there still was a lot of Boise with the turbulentt sorting, but it was a stark difference. If you're level 30, L1/1 is a no go, but H6/6 works properly. Not sure where the shelf is, but man it's there. Currently doing a bit more testing to figure it out. Pretty much what I've observed so far. Doesn't matter what hanger I run, I'm consistently facing 8/10 M/H hangars. Fewer 12/12 than before so I seem to have settled a bit. But my L/M hangars get shredded by Plasma Griffins, Leos, and shield bots. I can only be competitive if I use my Heavies as well. Last night I lost 10 in a row using my Gep/Cossack/Golem/Boa lineup, but once I switched to Griffin, Lance, Leo, and Galahad with essentially the same weapons I won 3 out of 5 (solo play). Only light setup that seems to add any value is aphid Gep since I don't have to be in LOS. I used to have a bit of fun by switching up to 5 x 1/5 Thunder Schutzes once in a while, but looks like those days are gone. If you are using the same weapons you will face roughly the same competition IMO. Dropping to low level lights and mediums with high level weapons no longer puts you up against much lower level players. Weapon levels seem to be THE most important thing about your hangar. I'm betting you have some level 9 or 10 weapons you are running - and that will put you up against 8/10 or 9/8 etc. hangars of heavies. Bot levels are far less important based on my experience to the point where I suspect bot lvl = weap lvl will be the way to go, or possibly bot level higher than weapon level.

Ok, so I don't want to give the impression that's it's all been sunshine and roses for me. On both my iOS and Android account, I have had some horrifying matchups since the new MMS dropped. It's just not anywhere near as bad to me as many have reported. I'm not trying to take away from those other reports, I'm just trying to share that there ARE positive experiences with the new matchmaker. Some minor corrections for my Android account: I hate the play style that Stalkers force me to use, so he got mothballed (again). M10/10 Thunder Carny, M10/10 Plasmahad, M10/9 TPP Golem (Punisher Mk2 for the lulz, surprisingly still effective), M9/9 Taran Fujin, and finally taking up last in effective damage but tops on area denial and general trolling, my H6/8 Gekko/Zeus Leo (AKA The Hippie Disco Ball). I am being matched up with H10/10 hangers on a regular basis and still maintaining a > 70% win percentage. My biggest gripes are that mid-range rockets and missiles are the new overwhelming meta setups, and squadding is still chaotic to say the least. None of this is unexpected nor disappointing to me, but rather just another exercise in patience. Finally, from one old oldbie to a new oldbie, the online tradition is to encapsulate your character's actions in asterisks, like so: *Lilith enjoyed the old one's stories and perspective, but did not understand his predilection for referring to himself in the 3rd person perspective* Love ya "old man" Thanks for the tip and always appreciate the observations on the game and gameplay and from everyone else also. A whole lot of good info through out all the threads in this forum that have given me a better understanding of the game and who plays it. I never had too much time when I was working to play online or even be online to take it all in. 24x7x365 was my schedule in IT, always had to be available. Plus a lot of times I never wanted to look at a PC when I got home and dreaded my phone ringing Or my pager going off (yes I'm an antique). So I'm trying to learn some new tricks, having a few smiles and chuckles and hoping I am contributing just a little. *Old man wonders too about 3rd person and why he does it and who he is.* In fact old man and old woman are an inside joke between my wife and I. It started right before we were married almost 5 decades ago, in hopes that one day we would have grown old together and shared a lot more good memories than bad. So now that has come to fruition. So we do now just call each other old man and old woman and smile knowing we made it.

I think the new MM is just fine. My low gold hangar did suddenly get more difficult since the update but (apart from quitters) I find the games pretty well matched at this point. My bot die much more quickly, since, as Lilith said, rockets rule now, but you just have to adjust your playstyle. My heavies are lvl 6 & weaps are mostly lvl 9, and most of my matches are against 8-9/9-10's which is, I think, fair. Looks like its time to start leveling bots up to weapons, which makes sense.
The biggest downside, for me, is that I can't really load my old hangar of mediums and have fun with those guys again. I used to love running games in low-mid silver and getting some mileage out of those bots but at least for now, that doesn't seem to be an option.
Also, the flow of gold has slowed making it more of a grind, since matches last longer and win rates are lower. That would be my biggest complaint, since farming isn't as much of an option.

You are a legendary "IT Guru", and with that kind of SLA you were not talking to end-users, you were talking to admins that just royally screwed up. I'm a mere 2 decades younger than you, but I'm IT too on the direct support side. So we aren't so different to all these whelps, eh? Anyways, I'm derailing a thread, Ima shuddup now.

The same thing is happening to me now that used to happen when I switched from Bronze to Gold hangars. I went in with a high win %, and MM punished me until it got low then started playing fair. That's still happening, my win % has gone down from a bit over 90 to a bit over 70, but it's not as obviously punitive. I've gotten more fair matches along the way, just some haven't broken my way. Wondering what it'll look like when it settles down. My junior clan members have 6/8 HS hangars to my 8/10 Gold hangar, their win %'s are in the 70's somewhere and they're getting better matches than I am. (We do trade devices.... )

From a general quick study (I only sometimes look at other hangars, and only when something makes me curious) roughly comparable in level, both weapon and bot. Sometimes one or two up or down. From experience borrowing their hangars, the opposition I (should I say, my hangar) face is more skilled but it's hard to quantify. Of course since the last post my win % is down in the 60's but the last couple of battles were hard fought, bloody wins. Hope it stays like that.

I've been playing the last 3 hours. One game Android then switch to iOS then back, then the other, kinda like watching a tennis match.
This what I have observed.
On the Android platform ( my hangar is listed in a earlier post today.) I am having some good battles. Tougher and longer than usual, but that's fun. All stats are staying consistent (avg kills, damage and win % 70). Going against sometimes tougher opponents, but no biggie, just adjusted my strategy a bit and it's working out. After checking profiles of both teams after battle, it looks like a good parity.
On the iOS platform (high gold, one new bot inserted Galahad, lvl 9 lvl 11 magnums and Taran's allowed me to capture beacons easier, all day to get 18) avg. kills down, avg. damage down, win % down to 32. Going against same caliber of opponents in spots 1 thru 4, sometimes only the first and second. Only a couple of clan battles. So mostly random. I have played with lvl 12 thru 29 players. With lvl 1 to lvl 8 bots and lvl 1 to lvl 8 weapons, a couple I had to laugh at, lvl 11 bots with lvl 5 and 6 weapons, seems all these had win % right at or over 60. Don't know how this plays in either. Hangar size for lower lvl players usually 3 sometimes 4. This is both sides, not all the time but a good number of times. Also have noticed quitters who never fire a shot. Both sides. Last game I played, we won because it was 6 vs 4 and one of those was a lvl 21 player the other lvl 24. The other two were high gold. The quitters were some good hangars with players with good stats, and some bots better than mine. I don't know the reason and wouldn't hazard a quess as to what happened to them. As Joe Friday said, "Just the facts, mam."
Man it's tough to lose so much, you wonder if all the time you spent collecting silver and gold, waiting for the long long upgrades to get done is worth it. Well heck ya, Beats cleaning out the gutters by a long shot. Only my observations, take it with a grain of salt, or make what you will of it, or ignore it

Well I have finally come to the conclusion that the old tier system is dead and buried. No more keeping multiple hangars to offer a diversion from high gold. So be it, that's where I'll play. Old man goes over to iOS platform to sell his beloved lvl 1 Cossacks with lvl 1 gau's-t's. Good-bye little boa's, vityaz's and golem's. I'll miss you. Old man rambles off and is heard saying, " a lvl 12 Cossack with a lvl 12 weapon? Watch out gold tier here comes one!" Much to the annoyance of my super awesome clan (seriously, they are super awesome) the first thing I did when I heard how the new MM was hitting poor iPhone users was bust out my very Last Stand Destrier and Shutze hangar. Counter-intuitive to be sure, but game play has been a blast! Getting to take on plenty of high level bots, but spared from dealing with 12/12 top tier hangars. I will be slowly improving the bot content of my hangars week by week (next week adds....COSSACKS!) while simultaneously continuing to level up my bots and weapons (priority is still weapons, but bot leveling has a new emphasis with the wild MM). Hangar score still affects MM, just nobody is sure to what extent. And as soon as I quit my clan I start seeing 8/12 heavies...fml.

Awesome, sounds like the MM is settling in and finding its rhythm for you guys. With any luck most of the turbulence will be quieting down for IOS. Played some more this evening, MM was see-sawing. Would alternate between receiving a brutal thrashing, my team having 3 slot hangar of poorly configured bots buttheads and the other team slinging lvl 12 aphids to blot out the sun, and my team just being better (not brutal thrashing better, but better). Not sure what that tells you. In both cases, I've been one of the more solid contributors on my team consistently in the top 3 in damage. Next to last game had good teams on both sides, one of the reds was from No Sniper (he had a surprisingly non optimal hangar and didn't really do well). Got 3 gold. Last game I did 200k more damage than anyone else, and I wasn't especially brilliant. (But IMO it's better than winning only because someone really good on your team carried you.) Is this what MM is supposed to look like? (You win about 50% of your matches and are generally one of the more productive players on your team.)

Day 5...(Since I got the new mm on my Android)
Squad battles usually end up in horrible losses since we mostly have bots ranging around levels 6-8 and all(not just most) red squads have been full 12/12 so far. I'm okay with this. (Edit: Sorry I forgot this one time when we faced a 6 men 5x 4/12 aphid gep squad in power plant. We were above their bot levels with our 6/8 heavies but could barely register a beacon capture apart from the initial 3. They only stood behind obstacles and shot their aphids from cover or came into line of sight for a fraction of a second to shoot them.)
Enjoying nonsquad battles greatly or maybe I should have said was enjoying. Now there are way too many 5+ men 12/12 squads even when I queue solo. I'm perfectly fine with facing solo 12/12 pilots with my 6/8 hangar but when they are in a squad of 5+, especially against a mostly solo blue team, it gets annoying. Fighting against solo 12/12 pilots makes me progress (as in "skill") and gives far greater satisfaction to kill or win against them. Even losing against them is somewhat good because at the end of the battle, I'm getting away with my newly acquired "experience points".
I'm only losing if my team is filled with ridiculously built campers/quitters OR if the red team is a 4-5+ men squad OR if the red team has many aphid bots. I haven't lost a single point of average damage or average kills in my last 50 battles but the win ratio has gone down from 90+% to 65+%. I don't need to have a 90% win ratio. I will be perfectly satisfied with some 60-70~% win ratio if majority of the battles finally settle to be the satisfying battles I mentioned above.
Why am I randomly giving out my stats? Because I'm almost sure things will calm down after a week at most. So hold on people, don't give up and keep building your Elo rating - might not be the right term but you get my point.

Not consistent with what I have been experiencing. To my surprise, even against top tier, plasma is still king. Trident and Treb Furys suck to go against and a good DB set-up still hurts, but plasma's ROF and burst damage are very unforgiving. I have also seen quite a Ancilelots and just go the other way. "Ancile? haha my high level Zeus will fix that...crap you have a physical shield." "Shield bot? haha my high level trident will fix that...Crap you have an ancile."

Our tridents are L9 so we just don't do as much damage as they can so while we fight it out, just a losing battle. went up against the first couple ancilots I've seen, and it was a bear to kill it even before the ancile buff. I'm expecting to see a hoard of those configurations when 2.5 comes to iOS. Oh well, my solution has been to just play less as it is less frustrating this way especially cause my win rate crept up so I know I'm in for a day of getting pounded when I log on.

I think my elo is established now in iOS and been for awhile since I play so much and run a consistent hangar. So the battles lately have been bruising and humiliating at times. I am winning 4 out 10 matches, with what I think is a pretty good hangar of toe to toe bots. Lvl 11 bots, lvl 11 and 12 weapons. Ork's, Taran's, magnum's and ECC's. Full clan teams are just destroying me. That's expected, since a lot of the top clans know how to work together and support team mates. That is something that has not changed from before the new MM rolled out.
Where as random's, are just that, wander here, there and everywhere. Not paying attention or looking around to see what is happening. Must go kill, must get beacon, so 4 go for the beacon, or wander off because some player is 1000m away and they think their ECC and magnum's will blow them away, leaving positions defenseless. Fair enough, usually low level players and maybe haven't progressed to paying attention yet.
I say all that because I am still seeing low level players with low level bots and low lvl weapons with a three slot hangar being thrown in to the mayhem.. It's tough to win these match's. Fair enough. They probably haven't played enough, 10 day activity sometimes below a hundred. Total wins sometimes below 100. And really, a lvl 9 des, with lvl 5 weapons. Really!
I think I saw in an earlier post, maybe zman not sure, and too lazy to scroll up to find it right now. That he, or they, were going to slow down playing for awhile. I think that is exactly what I plan to do. Complete daily tasks, and leave it alone. In hopes that it will all balance out after some time has passed.
Do I really need a 10 day activity count over a 1000 anyway.
Now on to the positive, Android is great, great matches, great pairings, great battles. Yeah, some tougher opponents, saw my first maxed out player today, but it was cool trying to figure a way to kill or slow him down. I don't go against many full clan teams. Maybe because of lvl 7 bots and lvl 9 weapons in my hangar. And I plan on staying right there, only adding bots and weapons and bringing each up to their respective levels.
If I notice any changes in iOS, settling, more even pairing. I will post those findings. I'd count on a long wait for that post. Cause really this subject has been beat to death. And another thread just for iOS is open also. And now PIX announces something and how the future will be all unicorns, lollipops and rainbows.
I also seem to recall another statement somewhere and I believe it was zman also, about shelves in MM and if you are level 30, then you have no hopes of ever playing lvl 1 bots, with lvl 1 weapons ever again. So sad. Well maybe a hangar of lvl 12 Cossacks then will cheer me up.
So I'll continue to upgrade my hangar, think about what I own and how to utilize it. And play the Android platform, a 1000 activity 10 day average is completely doable there.
For me this is a rant, sorry it wasn't more full of vitriol and expletives, for those that like that kind of thing.

dangitThe first one isn't me. Though, I've definitely been playing a bit less, was busy doing my best to do what Pix should have been doing, putting out fires and explaining their MM. The second one, yep, that was me. There is defitely a shelf, or a hole, or pit of despair, or gateway to hell for lvl 30 pilots to equip 1st level bots and hope the MM gives them easy targets. Doesn't happen, for some reason it gives you the same level competition your max hanger would be giving you. But, I've tested 6/6 and it works well. Others have reported that 4th level bots are fine. Not sure exactly where the damned shelf is, but getting too low is definitely problematic. Can't really explain why it is there, but it is likely some potentially misguided aim at protecting low level piots that has gone awry, what they need to do is stop droppers from tanking their Elos to seal club the way up. But, I'm sure they'll get it hammered out in time. Looks like the MM is functioning better as a roll out for Android than IOS. My guess is that they learned from their rocky release of the IOS one and tweaked some parameters whether it was hanger strength weight, or dumped people in with a tiered Elo based on some metric or another. It could be a lot of things, but I'm thinking its more likely an increased weight for hangers and maybe a higher default Elo which seems to have really reducde the massive turbulant area that IOS got. Basically it would let some people sort down and others up insead of having to only sort up. If it was just starting with a higher default Elo then Android could be running the exact same MM IOS is, just with a heck of a head start.

I've got a RDB Griffin in my hangar, but otherwise everything is close range, including a Thunder Carnage. You're talking about weapons that aren't even out and (spoiler alert!) MAY NEVER COME OUT. Stop freaking out about the future you fear. There's enough noise being generated by the MM that, you know, seems to be working out. You know what FEAR stands for? False Expectations Appearing Real or Forget Everything And Run.

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. ? So how's that new MM system working out for you? Still good?

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. ? So how's that new MM system working out for you? Still good? I'm fine! I've been having a blast. Yeah, sometimes I was getting creamed, but everything is leveling out. I'm having fun with my current hangar...

Darn it, I played for about 2 maybe even 3 hours and only won once... I'll probably do a tinker and aim for a mixed bot load out as changing up to heavy hangar definitely isn't working for me. Unfortunately due to lag? I die before I even see some attacks which doesn't give me enough time to react :S

I initially had a lot of close quarters bots, but on some maps, I was getting wiped out before I could make it anywhere. So I started adding some midrange stuff and that helps. I've been having to learn better tactics as well, which has been one of the better benefits of the new MM.

My 8/8 hanger is still matching up against 11/12 opponents, even at win rate of 44%. Yes.... it's been really sucking for me. The blues have 11/12 as well but I'm magically always on the losing side lol.
