Clearly, there is a way around the new matchmaking system. Started an android account this evening and third match in I notice a few unexpected bots. Given that I am level 3, I wasn't expecting matches with level 30 accounts and Galahads!!!!!!

I thought there was a protection level, where you fight AI bots until level 5...

Thought so too. But you can see that it isn't working in my case. Next highest was Level 9.

Got a screen shot of the hanger? Lulz might be strong with this thread.

I don't think there are any AI bots in the game.....it is just that many new players are so bad they appear to be AI bots. If Pixo could do AI bots at that level, then they could do it elsewhere and they have said they cannot in previous discussions on game features.
I did think Pixo had firewalled the lowest levels to protect against stuff like this - if it isn't, then it seems like a huge mistake. If it is rubber banding....that is a heck of a stretch.
A bit disheartening that this is happening....

I'm on iOS and tanking is still possible if you lower your average damage to 0. I can bring my Griffins, Carnage, Lancelot, Gareth and Galahad to a Cossack/Destrier fight if I choose to. That's probably what he did.

I think the protection level is only on Lv 1-2. After that the MM throws you into the wolves. I played my daughter's account at Lv 3 and a DB griffin spawned beside me. The guy was Lv 30.

Does this mean the changes to match making had absolutely nothing to do with the old Seal Clubbing? If so this says something very interesting into the psyche of Pixonic. |

This technique is called tanking. Check out other threads for details on how to do this. The new MM does not prevent it (iOS ver 2.5). I don't think Android (2.6.1)doesn't stop it as well but there is already a 2.6.2 out so let's see that that does. |

I was contimplating the motives behind the Devs behavior rather than the current meta. I also avoid openly discussing potential cheats since the forum rules list that as an offense for moderation. |

A bit disheartening that this is happening.... Definitely are/were at the very beginning levels (around 1-3). No idea if they've removed them for the MM changes though. Taletale signs are the behaviour and the damage from your weapons registering immediately without latency. |

I'm in Private League and once every few rounds or so my random squad gets absolutely stomped very quick like in 3 minutes. After the round I see the stomper is level 30, mostly good bots, weapons and higher levels.

Levels 1 to 4 should be in a safe playpen. Lvl 5 is when you are supposed to get dumped into the recruit league.
That being said, some weaker players with good gear will end up in recruit and private leagues. My young kid's hangar looks about right for bronze (4 slots, lvl 25 player, lvl 5/6 gear including a pdb griff) but thanks to his squirrelly playstyle and love of frankenbuilds, he got sorted at the top end of Recruit.

Let me quickly input my relevant opinion.
Oh wait, the update hasn't come out on iOS.

Pixonic has said publicly before that there are not any AI Robots in the game. They claim it's all actual players. The closest thing we've seen to AI Robots was probably the ghosts during the Halloween event. Seems theoretically possible that Pixonic could add AI Robots if they wanted to.

Yeah, you have to remember that most people starting out are mobile gamers, as in, people who play CoC or Candy Crush, not people who commonly play first/third person shooters. |

FYI on all the accounts I've started the first 3 matches are with AI. You can tell by pulling your internet.

Given that I am level 3, I wasn't expecting matches with level 30 accounts and Galahads!!!!!! Nah it's a feature not a bug. Noob accounts have have high victory percentages due to the small number of games played so far and the easier play at low levels. Then they are matched against 10/10 level 30 players and the slaughter begins. |
