Whipped out my all-Cossack hangar to get my missions clear.
Forgot about the new mm.
Imo the new MM has just driven Cossacks completely out the window, if you don't have heavy bots you're done for. At least hangar weighting isn't much of an issue anymore.

I'm still hoping the new MM system will evolve and be further refined by Pixonic. We are not fans of blowing apart Cossacks in our big bots but I guess it's still better than being on the receiving end. Pixonic should spend more time fixing MM and less time on these lame money hungry events.

Let us hope that Pixonic will evolve the new matchmaker fast as I can not figure out a set up to play a normal game that I will not be crushed immediately and always be hiding behind walls. I even used following set up : 2 Gepards lvl1 without weapons, 2 Geparads Lvl1 with 2-4 lvl Magnums, Cossack lvl1 no weapon. What match up would you expect with that? How about a variety of 7-10 lvl bots with 7-11 lvl guns... |

The new MM is working.
My 7 years old runs a 4 slot hanger - lvl 20. Griffin 6), LEO (6), boa (3) and Golum (2) - with a mixture of level 5 to 2 weapons (Thunder, piñata and Punishers).
He at 70% win rate and isn't being clubbed. He doesn't distinguish between old and new MM.
Putting the rest of us whiners to shame.

I believe the new system heavily weighs player level. My wife just started and is lev 18 and she is not experiencing anywhere near the huge amount of maxed out opponents as I am.
I have no problem with matching folks with opponents of equal level. In fact that is great, but hanger strength needs to be wieghed equally. A level 30 with 4 bots 6/7 should not be matched with a lev 30 who has 5 bots 10/12.

At least hangar weighting isn't much of an issue anymore. What about a single leveled-up cossack in an otherwise beefy hanger? In my opinion, the cossack was never meant to dominate. At every stage I've seen, one wrong move results in a dead cossack. However, I do love buzzing around the map in the little mosquito bot. |

I switched to an all-light hangar (2x 2/8 Gep, 4/7 Cossack, 4/7 Schütze, 5/6 Stalker) and went beacon hunting. It was fun to play, even though I got into quite a few games where I was insignificant on account of being one-shot, probably by a level 12 Zeus/Trident/Treb Fury. Win rate exceeded 50%, even though not by much.
Agree that there is a level dependence, but this was in even before the new MM kicked in. My daughter didn't face clubbers before she was well above level 20.

Ditto on moth-balling my cossack hangar. Actually any light and medium bot is gathering dust. Nuts.

You have to equip at least level 6 guns, any lower than that and the MM will match you against the best. |

wait so lvl 30 + weapon <lvl 6 = opponents with 12/12 heavy bots? now that is interesting XDDD
i dont mind my opponents bots stronger than mine (i can deal with them if they are up to 2-3 lvls above my avarage lvl) , but jesus cry!! give me proper allies...
last 2 matches , 4 of my allies tried to kill a griffin, and fail miserably for 2 mins (angle issues he was on a roof and NONE tried to get a better angle) i couldnt even help em because i was like 700m away grrrr
i no longer see a swarm of cossacks unless they are from guild in guild team.
what i love now is ganking gepards from behind with carnage hahaha love it.
