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: M3 for ever! Tough gig for sure. I love my Pursuer but have found that I've needed to upgrade the weapons, especially against the champs. In fact you're ahead of me and many of my weapons are now 10/11 just to compete. Massive drain on Ag. Good luck. But I agree, sometimes (often) you can't hold then off forever, once they've breeched you know it's inevitable.

Had the pleasure of meeting up with some of the awesome 「fluffernutter」wits at team (KOR) full squad, yeah thanks to MM the Experts on Blue truly appreciate the complete 「fluffernutter」 over by our K-Pop friends up North and their entire Champions League team. Go 「fluffernutter」 yourselves. Not sure about the Korean translation.

Nothing like a level 123 titan poping up in a expert league game.

iOS and Android merged but MM is still pretty stupid. I am really sad to see experts and masters in champion matches. I hope they are fixing this soon.

So apparently there are no other Master league players in this game. I’m either on a team if all Champions or all Experts; but I never have a game with mostly other Masters, on either side. How can this be.

I agree with every criticism about Pix’s MM. I am so frustrated. Yesterday and today I have lost virtually every single match...and once out of bots I just leave and go to another match. Been playing about 4 months (?), and my performance has absolutely ZERO effect on points awarded. Pix has some kind of convoluted point awards system. If I win in my usual 6th position, I win +2 points n league. But f I lose in 6th....a whopping -31 points n league!! And I get the absolutely stupidest teammates in whatever match I’m n...TDM, BR, etc. I have invented about 47 brand new, unique ways to curse and use profanity. Thunder has even rumbled outside. I have to constantly remind my miserable mentally unstable self: “This incredibly powerful opposing team is composed of 5 year olds, sitting on mommy’s couches, spending rich daddies money, so they can play games on their $10,000 gaming systems, snacking on their munchies, snotty nosed and farting, while....THUNDER....LIGHTNING...warns me: “STOP CURSING!!” Grief!! Between the horribly imbalanced matches and the juvenile play style of my teammates and the cost prohibitive bots and guns combined with this game’s historically infamous lags, along with getting cheated out of silver increases...you know...after the match you watch the vid to increase your silver...and...”Sorry you miserable loser but: Video Playback Error, reset your tablet and lose your “increase” (always AFTER you suffer the 30 second torture) OR “ONCE AGAIN you miserable loser...but you need to check your internet connection...AND LOSE your increased silver opportunity (AFTER the 30 second torture AGAIN), my delicate sensibilities are smothered with a towel while I invent yet another unique string of profanities while sailors anchored off India’s shores blush n embarassment. And my torture goes on with even more rage inducing SLOWNESS which Pixonic has greased our sphincters for their uplifting pleasure...tears rolling down my scowling face. Solution = Hulu

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.

The matching system feel like a ripoff. It's has never been an accurate refection of an equal robot "power score "on each side. From what I can tell it's a very vague match of the top few by league and level. Then it's filled with a mix of whoever is left. So essentially it matches the top one two and three slots, if it can, and the rest is cannon fodder. Its great for them and sucks for the fodder. instead of flushing players into a certain slaughter when they can't find equal groups for the "paying elite" it might be better for all those involved , including Pixonic, to just use AI to fill in as fodder and match the players with there kind like every other game of this sort. It is way more fun because you aren't wasting your time with sure losers. And and that will make people happy and a happy customer plays more and brings his friends to play. And that is just good business. I don't care if no one who matters will ever see this and change anything. I'll still play. Because as far as FTP crappy games go its a pretty good one. I just needed to vent.

Page umpteen jillion.... Yep, full Champ squad Vs. randoms (1 Champ + 5 Masters), cups nowhere near each other. Edit: The remix 2 matches later... Hmm...the same squad only this time i'm the ONLY Master. I'm guessing Pixonic needs to sell more "magic bullet" guns.

Matchmaking is based on your league ranking and percentage wins. You have Champion league bungheads purposely forfeiting matches to reduce their ranking so that they can be matched with the intermediate league players. The matchmaking algorithm really is a piece of garbage.

10 Matches in a row, 8 of which were against the same 5 murder squads. If I'm playing the same 5 "S" rank Clans full Champ squad with randoms 80% of the time... when do they ever play each other?
Not gonna cuss up a storm, try to figure out what's the logic behind the MM, or rage quit. I've done all that before in rants to no end, getting only temporary relief by consoling myself that it isn't just me.
I'm just asking this ONE simple question. 80% matches with DIFFERENT randoms, facing full clan squads. Why is there only a 20% chance of us playing each other?

Just had this match. I've seen Leviathan before who at this point is in diamond league with OP mk3 gear. That TNT top guy is the same with mk3 gear but was in expert. Oh and TNT stands for titanium titan see them alot too. Currently I am in low M3 and not surprised that the diamond leaquers is a mk3. To me at least I don't think there I'll be alot of new players due to the massive amount of this behavior going on. To be clear this is a huge problem in expert and below. How hard would it be for pix to look and see that people dropping 2 to 3 leagues with maxed hangers? To me at latest not very hard. There are plenty of whales in the sea however there are many more fish.

Like the umpteen-millionth full squad Vs. Randos this morning... GAWD! MM tosses me these 2 great matches this morning mixed in with the rest of the horse 「dookie」. The rest of the matches were over in an average of 2 minutes. They were ALL heavily stacked either in my favor or against it. I don't even like the ones stacked for my team, this crapola is lame.

i squadded with shawngonakillyou the other day and we lasted 36 seconds. matchmaker should for best results have put us in a league match that was a bit closer to mine, i mean im pretty sure we were against masters league or champs or smthn and im not even close to masters so i got squashed. squad matchmaking should be changed.
