Just got a match where all the enemy was MK2... but eh, it's the same rank right? Most the other team was MK2, when I was the only person with any MK2 PERIOD. I have said this before, and shall say it again, MM should be gear based NOT league based. League should be your PAY, not your MM...only thing I can say about this match was it was deeply ANAL...let's just say the word matched with grape...

Just a revisit to illustrate what I have learned since this last post. Once my skills improved a bit, and some gear was leveled appropriately, things kind of leveled out for me. Maybe I have just been beaten into submission (lol) . . . I have realized, like many others, that losing streaks are inevitable as well as intentional. Now I just treat the downslope like bad weather. Nothing you can do to avoid it, so I just grin and bear it. (. . . or log off.) Honestly, once I leveled everything I needed at 6/7, I found myself hovering in low/mid gold. Yes, tankers and faders are there too, and again, it's just another squal passing through. For the most part I have realized the game's flaws, and play when it's fun---close the app when it's not. Finally, I have a 5th hangar slot, and a bit of nice gear. Enough that I feel comfortable enough to progress into Diamond as I level up. For me it became about just playing and not worrying about/avoiding the meta rush. I have no intention of going beyond Diamond for now, and plan on jumping into 6PL very soon! Just noticed this post...like stupid late, but gratz. Hope you enjoy it in the new economy. Seems 6 pack may be best for you, I do enjoy the Admin Skirmishes with stupid builds, gives me something strange to play off of.

In the month since that post I have uninstalled the game. But, honestly, I think I enjoy the forums more than the game and have been having fun with other distractions. I hate Pigsonic, literally. So, I may never reinstall the absolute f-show this game has become.

Sorry to hear that. Some times MM is just drunk, other times it works just fine. Hope you return some day when it will be fun for you to play.

There are just to little players, doing a clan squad is suicide. You will be faced with a champion squad, no matter what level you own squad is. I have requested an account deletion, so no more turning back!

I thought we were going to get an detailed explanation of how the new matchmaking works. Is it really only or mostly built on damages? Some strange things, fishy even, for example, why are some of my team members much lower than me in avg damage and wins while the opposition is at times quite a bit higher? There just doesn't seem to be a consistency that holds true time after time. If matchmaking is based on a certain simple principle then why are we seeing such a diversity on how the teams are organized. With thousands of players in the pool, there should be plenty of people that are close to our numbers in regards to damage and win/loss averages. It just seems that the new matchmaking is all over the place. I am also noticing I am getting the same maps many times in a row. If it is random, then I should see a different map much more often. If you flip a coin 50 times, with pretty much certainty you will get tails about 25 times and heads 25 times, how is it then, in my last 20 games i got Yama and Springfield about 17 of them. Something just doesn't add up, anyone else with similar issues/concerns? My damages and wins were pretty good, I am now on a downward slide (rubber band effect) and it just seems that odds are stacked, thanks Same map over and over

And i have plenty to rant about..lol if I knew how to put pics on here, I got stories..lol At the moment I'm at 46% win, 420k avg damage, I'm still falling as they are matching me with 750k, 680k, 650k guys full tilt 12/12 while my team is 9/9 and one guy was 11/11's .. Even though greatly mismatched, it almost seems as though they are working on people mentally, "[We'll pound you down so you will need to spend to be competitive]" I totally agree I have a lot of MK2 gear and bots. I get anihalated all the time its not worth it I go up and down in ratings. Got MK back when started playing big waste now.

this system is total crap i just got battle vs full clan and we lost they done 3mil damage and we done 1mil is this balanced ?? really ?whiskey tango foxtrot? happen to the game??? Hellback I am seeing the same thing, been losing game after game all day, when i win I'm in the bottom three (4th, 5th, and 6th place) when i lose which is 60-65% of the time many times I am in the top two. The game is pretty much unwinnable. They made it that you need to spend more and more and the more you spend the higher you go, but there is always someone who spent more or is on team red and they spent more or has better skills. When people start to feel they cannot win a game, they ditch, they tank, they quit the game entirely or slow down playing, not fun losing 65% of the time simply because the competition is way overpowering. I am starting to think Pixonic purposely designed the game to be unwinnable and once damage reaches such and such level, expect to start on your losing slide till 1 of 2 things happen. 1) you spend more and upgrade equipment to meet competition levels or 2) you simply lose enough games and your averages drop low enough you can be competitive again. It is a vicious cycle and Pixonic took a lot of the fun out of a game, that used to be fun. I have a mercury level 8 any higher $200 for each level or take 6 months. Worked great for 2 days I had weapons gust thunder no problem then started getting killed right away.... Great bot very Mobil but not spending any $ to win....

Been playing almost from the get go. My wkend off, football and war robots so been playing since about 11am (reducing upgarde times with ads). It's now 7:10 pm. one of the tasks is win 8 games. I'm on win 6. All flipping day to get 6 wins??? The other 2 can wait till tomorrow. I've loads of lev 12 bots and arms but mostly old ecom stuff but man even bk in the day I made it to the top of champs league. For the last year hovering around in expert league and cannot get out. 3 out of 5 times it's blues with 5 in the game. It's just lose, lose, lose then so more lose. The game is a sticky lollipop fest of speedy, invisible, jumping op juck. Imagine rooting a bot like a Lance. Weren't it bloody slow enough to begin with?? Man this game is wrong in so many ways

Might be just your luck not getting sided with all the "stealth" & "rooting" bots. Then again I've made Champ without any of those, no lvl 12mk1, no MK2. As the game changes, you need to change the bot load out, hanger make up, and mode tactics. It's a painful learning experience but you will get it eventually. Good Luck in the future and try not to be discouraged.
All yesterday my MM was kinda lopsided most of the day also. Most my matches ended in 2-3 mins with all my team or all the enemy dead no matter the mode, so I feel your pain.

I've been getting decimated lately by team squads- I even think I ran up against the team above once. Couldn't even get out of our home drop location. Hellburners, Mercurys, and Menders all maxed out. Using Halos, freezing/EMP then suicide us. Its a joke. Would love to see Mercury and hellburners nerfed, or some sort of countermeasures against. Super annoyed...

I play ffa now, and find MM is a bit more fair than the other modes. Ranking in e2, I am often matched against expert players with one or two masters. There are occasional diamond players. I have yet to face a Champions League player playing ffa.

MM on Android seems pretty alright.
I'm in e1 playing BR and teams usually consist of various experts and a few masters. Never seen a diamond or champion.

The Masters I see actually have 1k+ less victories and weaker hangars with gear under level 9 than Experts (me included) with 2500+ victories and level 9+ gear. That's crazy. Seems like players who have been playing a year or less have moved up fast.

Seems like players who have been playing a year or less have moved up fast. Maybe it's because we (new players), know nothing but the current dash/stealth/lockdown meta. We are used to fighting against the odds from the beginning. Many will quit because of that, but the few who remain move up fast.

Seems like players who have been playing a year or less have moved up fast. It is the steep learning curve you get when you hit "Silver" leagues and encounter full MK2 hangers ranked "Bronze", "Silver", and "Gold", when they should be "Champ" leagues. Majority of "Experts" are just that, and that makes it easy for new players who haven't rage quit to raise to "Masters" easily with level 6-9 gear. Going through "Silver' - "Diamond" ranks was the most painful experience I have ever endured in gaming, and I have tons of rants in this forum to attest to that. If it were not for the encouragement and sage advise of the forum members here, I would have rage quit ages ago.

Something just doesn't add up, anyone else with similar issues/concerns? My damages and wins were pretty good, I am now on a downward slide (rubber band effect) and it just seems that odds are stacked, thanks Yeah I noticed pretty early on playing this game that matchmaking seems to get set on 2-3 maps that it cycles you on during any given day. I just had 3 in a row on that powerplant map. I can guarantee when I play later I'll land on that map a few more times today. It definitely does not randomly choose from all maps. I wonder what purpose is behind that? It's annoying because sometimes it keeps wanting to put me on that reaaaaally long boring sniper's map. The Castle one is only slightly better. I end up having to just quit out and try again because I'm not wasting my time on a garbage map that ends in a low kills/damage standoff, or a one-sided flop due to half my team quitting or the other guy's having a bunch of Treb-lasers-Tridents that dominate the map. Bleh. I've been in Expert III/II for a while. I get matched almost every game with 2-4 Masters league players. Sometimes low Champs too. And I've seen Gold and even Silver matched up in my games, which is ridiculous. That's like 3-4 leagues difference potentially. When I first got in Expert I got trashed and went back to Daimond a couple times while leveling up a few more things. Now I'm doing ok, but matches are determined 80% of the time by which team has a full 6 players. It is rare for the short team to win, even if one player does amazingly.

Just spotted a MK2/12 Ares in Gold league FFS. Well. Yeah, you know, from where I stand: Players doing such things should be punished by getting their account purged of all bots and weapons, replacing them with Ecu Cossacks.

I guess I'll post here instead of creating a new whiny rant thread A recent example of a FUBAR'd match up. On the surface, it seems fair enough. 3 Champions League and 3 Masters League on each side. But the results say otherwise. Blues fought hard and with some semblance of decent teamwork, etc. We had the advantage for much of the match, but it was a struggle, and finally we were overrun and mech'd out. Kudos to all the players, I think everyone fought hard/well within their capabilities and equipment. Hmm. That top red champ definitely over achieved here. Let's take a closer look Hmm well ok....that's a lot of cups, a strong hangar and strong stats indeed! The other 2 top reds are much lower Champs, relatively. So what about the blues? Our top guy, Jesse. Great job...with a much weaker hangar than the top red - Jesse has my infinite gratitude and admiration for not running a fluffernutting Ares. Bravo. Dang, 10k cups, that'll hold a lot of grape juice. Number 2 Blue: 7k cups, also impressive Number 3 Blue: Wow another 10k cups. What gives ? 27k cups worth of champs in blue top 3. But each of them is relatively weak compared to the numero uno Red Champ fella, at nearly 20k cups by himself and (almost) completely maxed meta hangar. Basically this match was 27k cups Champs vs 33k cups Champs. Let's not bother counting the Masters, since I didn't grab screen shots anyway... I'll show you mine for the laughs:
