Is 20% loss rate not Fkn enough!

I appreciate what you are saying, but it is not like I am a casual player.  My 10 day ave is 950 cups.  I have over 3000 victories in less than 9 months.

My bots are level 6 with 8-9 weps.  Things were very challenging last few days until today.  I adjusted and pushed through.  I did see TT hangers on routine basis, now it is the norm for my battles!
I have increased my playing over past few days because of the event, so if anything I should have more consistent play.  The 27 & 28 were not this bad for me.  I figured I would get hit pretty hard running in mid-high 70's for past few days, but this is not even a game any more. 

  

Hey SoCalGrndR

i feel your pain.  I'm about the same in level and trophies as you but in IOS.  Had the same experience where I got my butt kicked for awhile.  I'm now seeing really good matches with my line up - lvl 8-11 bots but our win rates are closer... very few 12/12 bots.

i had about a 4-5 day head start and my win rate is now consistently fluctuating between 54-68%.  When I get to the high side, I tend to lose or start dropping in the rankings.  In the 50's, I can consistently place top 3 with more wins than losses.  I used to have very high win rates running my gep and lo gold line ups but never really cared about that stat until now because it signals changes.

here is my hanger - I was building my H6/9 line up...last trident going to 9 today and now bots moving up to 9....should make me very competitive.  I have a clan brother who is living my exact experience as well so between us, it seems like MM is settling a bit on IOS....hope you get there as well - hang in there!


here is one of my matches from yesterday when I was on the upswing in the 50's.

You are in the wrong crowd to complain about MM. Loved this forum when I first discovered it, now it just seems as a propaganda mouthpiece for Pixo. If you complain about MM you are told to stop whining and get better.

My experience with 6/7.5 bots I have is that I'm getting clubbed by 12/12 or so players 70% of the time, other 30% I win by being carried by those same 12/12 on my team. It's like old bronze clubbing except more than half the players are running mag geps and you have a molot destrier.

One thing to note is that I don't see many players below my level in my matches so there might be decent gaming in 4/6 or so? Probably not.

I can't see this MM staying for long if Pixo has even a modicum of business savvy, but then again, I can't believe they even let it run for this long so anything seems possible with them. What a mess.

I played well over 200 games with new MM and nothing changes. I even "tanked" my win rate and dmg to 25% and under 200K still seeing 12/12 every game. Before I'm crucified for "tanking" let me just say I stay full game but only use zenits and noricums.

And now they are taking daily tasks away too so no more gold even from that. I fail to understand how they are making this game better, they took an ok MM with few flaws and changed it into new one that has clubbing that's tenfold the magnitude of old one. Bizarre.

Are you trolling me? because if you are, you succeeded.

In case you are not, then, hmm... reading comprehension must not be your strong skill??? Did you read the part where I wrote I played over 200 games "fair and square"?

But let's say I played all 200 of them with intent to lose, and lost all of them on purpose. How in the hell can it disrupt Elo and other blah blah you wrote? It makes no sense, are you writing stuff just to be intentionally obtuse? What you wrote makes no factual or logical sense. Please show me where  you got this information  from, just a modicum of proof of your statements.

I've invested Jack-all. Not sure what's happened with everyone else, but I've been getting great and fun matchups.

totally agree. PX already see the market value they have, free happy time is over guys.

this is a pay 2 win now.

Mine went from 70 before new MM, up to 76, down to 48, back up to 60, back down to 26%(!!!), back up to 60 for now.  Waiting for it to plummet again.  

I expect some of it is my own rating getting established (with perhaps insufficiently negative feedback in player rating, permitting such big swings) and some of it is other players introducing noise (whether by not having their own established ratings, tanking, having different types of player available at different times, or whatever else).  It probably doesn't help that I tend to play with more reckless abandon on a streak (hot or cold) than when I'm getting balanced results, which might contribute to momentum in either direction.  

I never thought it would be possible to go below 30%, but I did for about 5 or 6 games and it certainly wasn't due to a lack of effort on my part - just bullheaded determination to keep doing the same as I had been doing, but do more of it.  I went about 4-21 (W-L) during that bad string of matches.  The brick wall eventually won and I no longer try to play the leading role when soloing.  The biggest single breakthrough for me was experimenting with trust that my random teammates might play as well as (or sometimes even better than) clanmates, and now I'm winning more than half of my solo matches again.  I usually get better support from blues now than under the old MM, where I was on the threshold of low/trash gold (6/7-8 heavies), whether in the form of fighting for beacons, providing mid-range support (from complete strangers! what a concept), and in making use of midrange support I provide - since I need 1/2 slots to last a bit longer than the ~100 seconds my KFs normally last.  

One other thing I've found is that I've been improving my own tactics at a much faster rate than I did in the old 'tiers' system.  A noticeable factor for the upward swings has been making major adjustments to both hangar and tactics in response to new competition (and cooperation) I've never seen before.  

That's one thing I have noticed.  A lot of people are getting better at actually playing the game and cooperating as teams.

Spot on.  I have all ranges of bots and weapons, up to a handful of 10/10's.  Fact of the matter is TT games just aren't as fun and forcing players to move in that direction is, IMO, a real mistake by Pixo.

I went from 72 to 36 percent in a week. Bad draws, bad teammates and me acting irrational some of the time didn't help. It'll go back up, but I'm going to have to take my hangar from 7/9 to 9/9 I think. As soon as this lunar event is over I'll be spending some of the gold I've saved up for a Fury or Lancelot. I have enough for both AND have the weapons leveled up and ready to go already. If that doesn't change things I'll need to get really introspective
