MM RANTS!

Did anyone in champ league feel MM has changed?
I check every time after battle what my team and the reds consist and it used to be champ vs champ with occasionally some masters.
Nowadays in Champions League my recent games, some of them are in diamond or expert league even one in private, but they are all tankers as they have more than 10k legend points
Have Pix changed the MM ?

Just finished with the worst Deathmatch experience ever in Dreadnought. 1 x Griffin, 1 x Fujin, and 2 x Spectres running homing missiles. And one Bulwark with Dragoon. Except for the Griffin and Bulwark, the other three are almost MK2 maxed-out. They should limit the number of Hydras each side, at any one time. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」, Pixonic.....

Hi I just had a battle (TDM) against a full squad of SCNB (or something like that) clan. My team lost 22 to 4, I don't blame them, but, I'm in a Gold I league and they (enemy) all are in Champion with full hangar of MkI/MkII lvl12 bots/weapons, we didn't have a chance against them, battle ended in 3-4 mins.

Fading player base. I got to expert 2 and started meeting nothing but masters / champs ... and was already at 50%. God knows what I'd be meeting if I got 60%.

I don't think they take into account weapons or gear at all in match making. you will run into matches where the other team has 4/6 with crasy range or dashes while your team has 1/6 or none. welcome to pixonic match making, where they let the kids in the nursery do the match making math.

This isn't a case of tanking, so you cant shame the pilots for what happened. This incident isn't all that uncommon, it happens to me several times daily. Some times I'm getting clubbed by masters in diamond leagues or clubbing silvers in diamond leagues. That being said, it still is not the norm for match making, but expect it from time to time the more often you play. The major problem lies with facing those same hangers from Bronze leagues through Gold leagues where tankers seem to be most common. I actually encounter those kind of hangers less since going Diamond leagues unless matched against Master/Champion in squad battles. Most tankers tend to steer clear of Diamond/Expert as their high draw would actually make them face enemies who actually know how to play with the same caliber gears or less.

Rant about the MatchMaker here! I was under the impression that keeping hanger all below 6/6 would keep me away from 10,11 buildouts....guess not

Why the ?neat-o? effity ?neat-o? effffff am I playing 2 or 3 legues above me? I am Silver 2 , and noticed that most matches I am playing against high high Gold and low Diamond players.
...yep, the MM matches you with damage. The more you do. . . .my smurf juuuuust made lvl 20/Bronze 1 today, and I think max dmg is around 750k with three bot hangar, avg might be around 350 ish. . . now am up against mostly Silver and Gold players every match.
. . . Also, It is a little mind blowing how many people I see with wallet hangars in these lower leagues. It's the plague!

Hi >^\}VULTURE{/^< I didn't say that the Players of that clan are tankers, what I was trying to say, is that MM sucks, when I'am in Gold 1 (and trying to enter Diamond 3 league) I should be matched against/with players from let's say Gold 1/Diamond (3/2/1) and maybe Expert 3 league and not Champions league players. Between Gold 1 and Champions there're 3 leagues (9 sub leagues) so the MM should find better players than me.

Enemy Team: 2 Expert two, 1 Expert three, 2 Diamond one, 1 Diamond three.
My Team: 0 Experts, 1 Diamond one, 2 Diamond two, 2 Diamond three, 1 Gold one.
That being said, the only squad in the whole match was the 1 Diamond one and the 1 Gold one that were on my side. Anyone not expecting my team not to get massacred with Match Making like that is a moron. Even a blind guy could see this butt whooping coming. I have said this before and will repeat it again... the match making math does not even equate to common sense such as 1+1=2.
I do understand that leagues get mixed, but geez give it a little balance. This match was a total cluster fart of the 3 experts killing everything the moment it spawned.

So I go into this match & notice my team getting annihilated. When I watch the bottom of the screen I notice kills from a Professional account, why are these accounts even allowed to drop leagues? In the guys defense he didn't have all his level 12 MK2 things attached but he had enough of them equipped. Oh well, I'm probably just ranting to the air.

In one team you find both champions as bronze 3 level 25 players... while the other team is filled with champions and legends.... We To Fight!!!
I am dropping in the league from 2800+ to 2200+ within 2 days... just because of this.
Guess it is time to say goodbye to this god fosake idiotic game... Those mindless Russians of Pixonic, are the worst bunch of developers I have ever seen. Even Blizzard is not that dumb

Fake VOX players unless you have changed to IOS. Adrian does not have a Android device yet. The real VOX clan is IOS.

Also, It is a little mind blowing how many people I see with wallet hangars in these lower leagues. It's the plague! 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!

Besides recruit league, diamond was my second shortest league. I tried to hover there a bit but as I upgraded, got new & better gear, and got a better hang of the maps I hover in expert a long time. Now considering the upgrade times, you just may hang in Diamond for quite a while seeing as some items take a week for 1 level at around levels 6-8.

Got tired of complaining to Pix. I thought I'd change it up.
"Just wanted to tell you what a great job youre doing with Match Making.
No really.
I mean it.
Truly.
You really deserve a pat on the back.
By a 600 pound gorilla."
I'm also tempted to ask if theyre all named Richard....coz they often act like a bunch of..

This is pissing me off, they should make MM based on bots, or maybe ability’s because it’s a real pain when you start a free for all and everyone has spectres and inquisitors, and other Very aggrivating bots that basically kill all of your bots in no time...
Oh and shocktrains there a nightmare and a pain since all the damage is basically dumped on to the person who’s shot by it, but that a rant for another time.

I don't understand it. Why aren't we just playing against those in our tier! When you become the best in your league, then you move up to the next tier, you just keep working your way up till you become champion.. I don't understand why Pixonic is matching everyone with people above or below your tiers.. Ok, I must admit regrettably, this thing is Broken too! How can something so simple be such a mess? It's probably due to trying to select 12 players quickly from a relatively small pool of players. Rather than having millions of players to choose from, there's probably a lot of sub-division going on, like "geographical region", "ping times", "server capacity", "game version" etc. When you also have less players due to off-peak times, you can see how the pools can be a lot smaller than we expect. Instead of having to wait several minutes for a good matchup, we get thrown into a sub-optimal one after 3 seconds. Either that or the matchmaking system is utterly fubar. I have a feeling it’s a bit of both, and I don’t think there’s as many IOS peeps as I though there where, which isn’t suprising this game started on Android.

I have a feeling it is getting worse and worse. At least in FBGR. Last days haven't played a single game that wasn't infested with champion league players. And being a gold1/diamond3 jojo, that sucks.
Being wiped of the map, means no Ag/Au/Keys/honorpoints --> no upgrades, no progression, no chests, no WS, no nothing...
currently at 38% winrate...

MM RANTS!

I noticed the same thing: it's getting much worse. I will also get placed in 8-9 straight koth matches, which is the worst play style and concept i have seen in terms of execution, but that's for another time.
They used to have bot level and equipment as a deciding factor in MM way back if I remember correctly, but there weren't enough players to fill high league games (where the whales are) and so everyone else became sacrificial.
Imagine if shocktrain spectres only could play other sts... there would be so much crying. I would actually pay to see that happen. That would be a good investment!

I just drop out once i get in and see t2 shocktrain spectres and the like. I don't have a single bot or weapon higher than lvl 10, but constantly getting matches against clan squads with hangars full of spectees, bulg and hiatchi, loaded with t2 gear. so i just quit out and look for another one. there is no shame in it. They can buy the mechs, and buy the weapons and buy the wins and the points, and send all the money they want to pixonic, but they aren't paying for my 10 minutes, so i don't see why i should have to stare at the screen waiting for the slaughter to end.
