Yesterday I was feeling pretty good about the game. I was very close to advancing to the next league and my winning percentage was 62%
Today I had a terrible day. I won very few games and ended up losing 100 cups. My percentage is now 42%
Is this me? Is it the nature of this game?
I read somewhere Pix is thinking of changing the League system. I hope they change it so I don't have many more days like this.

League system is not the same as matchmaking. 4.2 notes mention a change in how clan ranking will take place but nothing on matchmaking changes.

Yes, this is normal.
The MatchMaker does this to make you spend money, so it is an evil mechanism to try and manipulate your buying behavior. You can try to get back to winning streak by buying bots, weapons and upgrade speedups and now also boosters. Or, you can feel happy about a winning streak and reward Pix by happily buying something (probably tokens or keys for the gambling scams).
Or you can be smart and not fall for it. Most battles are decided by MM, which gives one side so much of an advantage, that result is almost certain. Very few battles are balanced and decided on the battlefield. So just play to shoot some stuff up, don't pay much attention to "winning" or "losing".

I'll continue my long term planning and grinding out components. And my complaining. |

I hope they change it so I don't have many more days like this. Based on my experience, I'm pretty sure the matchmaking Algorithm starts to throw you harder matches in random play when your winning % exceeds 60... ...and it throws you lambs when your winning % falls below 40. ... and it's a little random everywhere else. I also think it makes it harder right when you're trying to go up a league. So the key to going up in league is patience and trying to get top-2 spots in your losses; top-2 in a loss usually nets you +5 or +10 league rank. It is also important to pay close attention to the way your random team is playing KOTH... so many people hate that mode... if they are not doing a good job getting beacons you will want to become very greedy for beacon points so you still get positive league points. I don't consider this bad because if your squad isn't trying there's no point in you busting your ?bum-bum? in a loss. |

I'm still leveling stuff up so hopefully this will become easier for me. |
