I'm beginning to hate this game with the new MM system

I see this isn't serious (I hope), but if you were serious, with that hangar you could just create a new pilot. And if you start seeing too stiff opposition, rinse and repeat. As long as you are at most level 5, you shouldn't see very strong opposition even in new MM, right?

Um, it is possible to create a new pilot without too much hassle, or is it?

Guys, stop running bots and weaps below level 4. Pixo put in a failsafe for that specifically to prevent sealclubbing.

Therefore... I'm stuck on playing heavy bots.

Ow c'mon Pixo, you can do better than that! Just filter the weapons on each weight division,,,like boxing.

I'm running 8/10ish bots and I use a Gareth, Galahad, griffin, griffin and carnage. You don't have to run heavies, I have no problem most of the time though I have noticed higher level opponents but they were fair matchs anyway... most of the time

With over 3400 victories, have you figured out the difference yet between bot/weapon level and light vs. heavy? People keep offering you an easy solution to your problem and you keep ignoring it.

People are telling you that low level bots and weapons played by experienced players triggers an anti-clubbing feature in the matchmaker. So if you want to run light robots, you will either need to run them upgraded to a level that Pixonic thinks your experience should reflect (i.e. higher than level 1) or they will match you against competition equal to the strongest bots and weapons you own, to prevent you from abusing the matchmaking system to club noobs. Feel free to run all the light robots you want - just upgrade to at least level 4 (or whatever the threshold is - I haven't tested it myself) before you do. That protects people who haven't had time to upgrade their robots to similar levels from encountering people who have thousands of victories worth of experience.

If this doesn't help, it sounds like your problem isn't really the inability to play light robots in competitive matches but rather the inability to avoid competitive matches by trying to play primarily against brand-new players. And that's something the developer has specifically stated they want to drive out of the game.

This is the part that bothers me and that they really need to be more transparent about. If my "accomplishments" mean I can't run anything less than a 6/6 heavy, that should be communicated to me loud and clear. What's all this other crap in my hangar for now?

I've messed around with this a fair amount, and for me, running 4/5 medium bots seems to be "too low" as far as the system is concerned. Now that's getting 「fluffernutter」ing ridiculous. If I'm not allowed to use stuff that I have in quantity, how about reimbursing me for those assets? The lack of transparency, responsibility and generosity by Pix in the implementation of this new system is fairly discouraging.

I have leveled my bots fairly evenly all are 6/7. I have 3 heavies and 1 medium (about to be 2 medium in 240 more gold).

I regularly am paired with and against bots level 8-10 with weapons ranging from 8 -12. Maybe its karma I now know how the Iraqi army felt. However it is certainly not enjoyable.

It is not using low level (4 and under) bots that is causing me to be overmatched I dont even have any in that range atm.

On average that is correct. My damage varies greatly lately depending on the enemies I am facing. Often I am in the top 3 of the losing team or the bottom half of the winning team.

My gold rewards used to come from damage as I run mostly heavies I get beacons by taking them not sprinting there. Still I manage to get my beacon capture missions done and occasionally get the 5 gold capture award.

A few days ago when Pix reverted briefly to the old mm my win percentage climbed back to 64% (it was 68% prior to the update from hell). Now it's dropped like a rock again to 36%.

lol u have better avg dmg in those lvl light robots than his higher lvl heavy robots

Well after tonite I'm just sick of new mm and the game play in have to deal with. Going to tank every game till I hit 10 percent win rate and work upwards to see who and what is where. It's not that I can't play against bots 8 lvls higher than me it's just terribly boring to do so as it involves hide and seek over gameplay. Let's see oh yeah that's why I prefer the old silver tier over gold faster action paced games. I refuse to give up playing with gepards to play with my slower tt botz just because of this new stupid mm system that rewards being bad. Idc about win rate or damage percentage. I'm more about enjoying gameplay. So if tanking games finally gets me with botz my own lvl guess that's what I have to do...so glad pixonic thought this new mm system out. Almost 2 weeks of crappie gameplay for a mm system that should be junked.

Yes.....well said.  You have to basically reward snipers with a lot of gold.  I used to light em up.   Now I duck.  This game rewards players with no skills while my lower level bots nearly kick the crap out of ten to 12 rated bots.  I still 
Lose...but much better fighter than those snipers!!!!! Well done game....I once raved about this game....now I just assume they don't make enough cash.....money rules!!!!!   I understand now.

I feel you. I was reluctant to go to heavy bots as I find them slow and kinda boring: crawling slow, standoffs, MR shootouts...that's not what I'm in for in this game.
Bots that are small, fast agile, not even too much HP, but enough firepower to make a good ambush...that was the game that hooked me to War Robots.
Now since for L30 player like me light bots were rendered useless, I'm getting rather frustrated instead of enjoying it.

i run a stalker, gary, carnage and a leo and the MM is fine for me. whats all this about having to use all heavies and spend money on gold?

The challenge nowadays is that lower power players are getting whacked by players 4-11 levels higher than them in BOTH bot and wep levels.  It is like clubbing is being instiitutionalized by the system as the reward for being skilled. 

While geps were the persona of evil previously, now it is either the MM or 12/12 players that represent frustration to an even broader base of pilots.  A match up of H6/8 vs H12/12 is not exactly a total skills based match up but a form of clubbing the MM is making part of the game experience that neither pilot is "gaming the system" to ensure it happens.  If you are a higher power player in this type of matchup, you are using the same excuse we gep pilots used - we put in optimized bots and weps that we like and the system matched us up with competition because we like running those bots (i.e., I'm not seeing many 12/12 hangers with all light or medium light bots only because L30 pilots know that is a waste of time - the 12/12 hangers are primarily heavy bots and that is a game style you have to like).  

and I still never understood how silver tier was "complete noobs" -  bronze absolutely.  I was hoping hanger strength would be higher weighting but also put in pilot experience level restrictions to keep lvl 30 pilots away from any pilot who is below lvl 20....and make experience leveling up slower instead of the quick trip it is today.  

And my POV is that I actually like the new MM and I'm doing fine with my H6/9 line up vs higher power players...it is just the slow methodical pace of gold only gets boring for all the reasons people have mentioned.....and the inability to squad with my other comparable level clan members without having to take on 12/12 squads all the time is really wrecking the game for us.
