So, What are your games like lately? For me in Champion League the games have been poor in quality, I am not just referring to wins, I am talking about the quality of your team and your opponents and they kinds of matches your having. I am a brawler at heart and do not like playing long range much. Its just boring and it does nothing to help with beacon control. I am getting tons of games with Expert League players fresh outta Diamond who still run 3 range bots and a couple of light beacon bots with very few brawlers in hangar. A typical game for me as of late is a big map ( I get Springfield constantly) with me and one other Champion League player at best, with the rest at Expert Level. The game runs for 5 to 9 minutes depending if one side grabs a 4 cap right off the bat and keeps it which is happening at an alarming rate nowadays, and then its 5 minutes of range fighting and hydras till the beacon bar runs out with low damage scores unless you camp. Is this the same for other Champs? How are the games for people in thew middle leagues? I see the same mix, 1-2 champions max plus the rest experts. I am not finding long range to be a major issue (those guys are as annoying as they always were), but definitely lack of quality gameplay. On the plus side I am getting 10 gold in a lot of games. squading is also not good quality - 95% of the time we are steamrolling people in games that last 3 mins (often squad chat is about trying not to get so many beacons to at least mech out the other side), 5% is more or less evenly matched against other full champ squads, but even there the range of abilities and equipment is pretty wide. This kind of inbalance makes it kind of boring and definitely feel bad for the guys getting crushed as it is really a lost cause for them out of the gate. 100% spot on. Glad to see someone else sum it up more succinctly then myself.

The mix you mentioned seems about right with me being the Expert in there.

The matchmaking has been fine lately on both of my accounts, each being in mid diamond and mid gold respectively, playing Domination solely. I run a 9/8 hangar in the diamond account and tend to get matched with Experts (but not Masters), and I'm not much of a match for their >10/12 hangars. My average damage is around 350k. However, the gameplay itself is decent and not too lopsided. Coming to my Gold account, I run a 6/7 hangar, and the matches are much more fun here. I don't win too often, but the games are a lot less stressful. I don't get matched with Diamond players yet, and the bots and weapons are also not levelled too high.
Also, I haven't seen players quit matches mid-game lately, which is a relief. The matches aren't too short and tend to last more than 6-7 minutes. I don't play Beacon Rush anymore, so I certainly don't know the situation there.

If I was shooting at you and you were blue, that meant "ditch that range! we need beacons NOW!!!!"...

My win percentage us about 34% at the moment, although I’m about to make diamond 2 since I gain whether I win or lose most of the time. I’m running all long range in my hangar now. No choice. Whenever anyone fires one of the new weapons, my iPad locks up until they are done firing. I get the same response if I try to turn, and when multiple orkans are firing. Whatever they’ve done last couple updates, the game is unplayable almost. Plus, everyone gets a 5-6 second head start on me at the start of every match. Many many people blowing up their first four bots then kamikaze number 5 and leave the match. Within 2 minutes my matches typically see 3-4 players already gone. Noricums and zenits are everywhere, and there’s alot of shade on the map from all the spiral/hydras. Most of my stuff is set for brawling and MR. Can’t use it until they fix this crazy lag.

How old is your iPad? There’s a guy in my clan with a first generation iPad with experience was the exact same things you do. I have several iPads and my original many does the same thing when I play a little level account that’s on it.

I find the quality of the games really poor lately, and so is the frustration level. I play less and less these days, and just grinding away in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Until tonight I would have said pretty good, don't know if it's the Christmas event or what but I just played 8 or 10 games before I finally won a game between the MM and the freaking lag not happy

I think its the event. By the way if you wanna know where the tankers are. Those creeps are coming up through gold as we speak. Was holding my own against a haechi in a rog and another one rushed in. I got torn to pieces.
How is an Mk2 maxed Haechi even a close match with a level 9b/7w bot? A few more of these and I'll prefer to sit out the event.

MM has been marginally better. Still seeing a ton of Champions and bull「dookie」 matchups for singles vs squads.
Besides that, the quality of the game sucks. Introduction of Shocktrain and Scourge makes my game lag horribly when there are multiples I use at once. That on the new Dreadnaught map and iâm hosed.

Same here. Mine is an older iPad mini. No problems until Shocktrain and Scourge showed up.

I usually play Dom. For the event I decided to play Beacon Rush for the shorter game time.
The battles feel HUGELY one-sided. One side holds majority beacons for most of the game, and it often devolves into spawn raids.
I don't even know if this is the MM, or just beacon mode itself.

Diamond II. I usually get 4th to 6th. I want to say it's balanced but I hardly ever get gold, which annoys me since I'm still in the phase where I need gold.

I get matched ranging from Silver to Expert players, mostly Gold to Diamond. You actually get to have an effect on the match from time to time.

Very mixed. I play a most exclusively BR, and games are either very good or very crappy. Unlike before, squad games with my clan have been mostly good, with the occasional white-washing by champ squads, but those are much less frequent than before. Solo games on the other hand, aren't so much mismatched as my teammates are just stupid. Many, many games where they wouldn't know a beacon if you bludgeoned them over the head with it. Seems to be significantly worse now that the event has started, where everybody is more concerned with tasks then winning games. Since there's nothing g I was t from this event, and I don't have the time to grind for it even if I did, I'd prefer the few games I get to play every night to be a little more competitive. But these past few days they've been mostly awful.
On top of that, the markets and chests are pretty much a lost cause for me -- all I get is 50k Ag most of the time, so hopes for a Haechi or anything else useful/desirable are basically just a pipe dream.

Very rare for high level games to exchange beacons. Yes, battles are typically 1-sided. But for some reason, I will be on the winning side, then my entire teams mechs out in the last 2-3 minutes. Then a reversal happens, get 5 capped, and die in the last seconds. Only won 1 game last night. Not sure gonna bother with event this time. Will need to complete at least Shocktrain's task.

One thing I have definitely noticed in FBGR, is the equipment quality has increased tremendously since the Christmas "presents" from Mail.Ru have been offered. Where previously you had fairly even weaponry, now, you get wasted in 3-4 blasts. I can understand why this is going on. Everyone wants their free stuff. Just that having 4 bots dead in 1 minute makes for zero enjoyment.
