MM RANTS!

Try being level 30 in Champion League and MM stacks you with a bunch of low levels where the other team is all 25 to 30's over and over again.

Talk about having to carry your team...getting fraking tied of watching my teammates run out and die because they are being matched up in the WRONG games.

Pixonic said that they whole reason behind the Leagues were to match you with others of your same level/league. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 Pixonic???

I’m constantly being matched with people way out of my league, I’m low silver and I have to battle gold and diamond all the time, I mean I’m getting slaughtered out there but I don’t seem to be ranking down, I don’t know 「whiskey tango foxtrot」? And I too get the same map back to back to back a lot of times, I don’t know how things have got this bad.

Welcome to War Robots: where your team is always stock Destriers while the enemy team are all running Gareths with fully upgraded Magnums and Tarans because balance.

This game makes World of Tanks' matchmaking look good in comparison...

this is exactly what I can‘t understand.
having leagues and then they mix all together. that makes no sense.

It's been about 9 months since the league/match making system hit the live server. I have been sending in many requests to Pixonic to fix it. Namely,

1. Weapon/bot levels should be close among the matched teams. There should be no 12/12 when there are 8/9 etc.

I realize that it will take much longer to match up nowadays because people left the game, but I simply cannot stand playing against vastly overpowered bots. Yes, I remember seal clubbers, but they were less of the problem because once you hit a certain level, you see less of them. I can now play against champion players because my hanger is 10/11 and I can do OK against them, but this means you have to be close to 12/12.

2. Stop giving out league points to the highest damage player in losing team.

They have made it so that all losing team lost league points at some point, but they brought it back for some reason. Why promote stupid camping? And buffing these really stupid weapons like Noricum/Hydra? Why?

I have also sent in feedback on Korean bots being OP about five months ago when they hit the test server. But they went live anyway. If they don't listen, why bother send in test server feedback?

But they never fixed the matchmaking and they are losing a lot of players. I think it is their way of making money. They do have to make money after all, but this basically means the game is dying. It's sad because the game was fun for about a year for me, but the league system really killed it and those Korean bots are nail in the coffin.

I personally think they could have charged a small amount for premium like $1-2 a month and use those events to cash in for extra bucks. With millions of players, they could have made good money. Now with less players, this may not be an option any longer.

POS

Don’t know what you mean?

MM  allows matches  of 12/12 and 12/12 MK2 stuff at inappropriate levels - check the league standing of these tossers (even ex Champion level) - goes to point 1.

At Silver league (or even Bronze) you face off against these, lose and you might get, for example, 150k in damage because you were able to get some in while they score 900k - 1 mil. Yet you receive +10 to move up to meet more of these....come off it - goes to point 2.

SNIPERS SHOULD DIE CHOKING ON THEIR OWN VOMIT AND UNABLE TO CALL FOR HELP!!!

Ok,i feel better now. (Goes back to playing)

. That's messed up yo... Get some help ?

Yet another A for holiness awardee. Its like Im attracting them or something.

Ok. Is there hypoxia or something in the upper levels? Ive never complained about my team mates coming up to gold 2. They seemed to know what they were doing and how to work with each other. Gold 1 on the other hand (just got promoted btw), where I am teamed with diamonds and champs, is a complete norah jones party! Everyones doing their own thing and a lot prefer to sit back. Im seeing a lot of higher levels but not skills! I am by no means a gifted player, but I work my butt off every game to provide opportunities for my team. Someone please explain to me why, I am seeing more satisfying games at lower levels, please! Its really frustrating to have game after game like this.

Un-trucking believable! I'm still stuck in the league for people below 20 IQ! It was never this bad! You'd think most of my team mates were armed with sticks or something! Just me and another fellow seemed insane enough to sally forth to meet the reds while the rest either polished our base beacon or walked around looking for their contact lenses! I could almost hear them chanting Imhotep!

This is one of the peculiar things about the MM.

Gold 3: You get mostly gold players 1 - 3, sometimes some Silver 1 guys.

Gold 2: Mostly gold 1-3 players, rarely and silver leagues, more frequent Diamond 3 guys.

Gold 1: rare to see another Gold league player, maybe one, mostly Diamond 1 - 3 players, with some Expert 3's thrown in.

Where did all the Gold players go? I know they're there, I was fighting them in G3 and G2. Yet, in G1, it's mostly if not all Diamond.

This is what Pix sees as balanced? My 6/6 hangar vs guys from 9/9 and up.  It's over a year since they introduced this dreadful MMM, just a shame there's no way on earth they'll go back to the better version.

I've only been playing since Christmas but here's my observations (Kindle):

1) Made it to champion in just under a month, playing maybe 2 hours a day. Spent about 10 bucks. Kindle must be easier than other platforms. I'm in a top 15 clan and most of us are pretty new.

2) I'm in no way a tanker but I get put in some matches, when I'm not in my squad, that I'm sure are disheartening for my opponents. I had a match today where I did ~700k damage, which was significantly more than the whole other team combined. I'm talking with my level 7/8 hangar of mostly silver bots. The flip side of that is sometimes I get put against full squads of dash bots and I'm the only person with a single dash on my team...a free kumiho I just got from supply drops. Not uncommon to mech out in under 2 minutes. Shocktrain hell.

3) There are very few EVEN matches. I either dominate or get absolutely clobbered. The 10% or so where it's pretty even are much more fun. When I'm in clan it's a bit better but still far from what could be.

It's clearly on purpose. A few simple logical steps could make it so much better.
