I play on IOS and i updated yesterday. PLayed my 5 placement matches, won all of them. Was able to reach top damage and beacon capped three times, top three on my fourth match and finished fourth on my last match. I ended up on gold 2, got my 440 AU and started playing solo battles. I saw most of my opponents at level 23-27 and i mauled them, 6 games straight and got 60 gold for it. I felt bad too because it was too easy. Tell me if anyone in gold tier is experienced the same thing. Im level 29 btw, most of my bots are level 6 with lvl 7 weaps.  |

Geez... those bot and weapons levels are squarely in the silver range on Android. Hell, level 8/9 gear is common in Android silver.
Is there a huge discrepancy between how people are getting placed on each platform?

I'm on 6-7/7 and at the high end of silver II or low end of silver I. It may be a difference in the server population, or OP is just too skilled.  |

I agree my bots and weaps are too weak to be on Gold, so when i got placed in gold tier, i was like 「whiskey tango foxtrot」! Then played those matches and found out theres a crowd of level 23-27players. i checked some of their profiles, 3 hangars pfft. |

FMe!
I was placed in Gold I with a 8.5/9 hanger. I finished month in Gold I, did qualifiers and now I in Diamond III. I have a 9/9.1 hanger - (1 lvl 10 wep). I am facing a wide range of hanger up to Master or some poo-poo.

iOS is wildly different from android. I basically never see a player under lvl 30 in League Silver I on android.

Silver III is about the highest I've seen under 30s and honestly, most of silver is lvl6-9 geared lvl 30s. The idea of 3 slot under 30 hangars qualifying for gold is mind boggling. That's bronze or private territory on Android. |

Tempted to buy an i phone just for that relaxed environment lol! Relaxed entertainment, bah! More like extra monthly gold from easier league placement. Getting past bronze into low silver under 30 is impressive on Android. Gold would require insane skills to compensate for a huge gear disadvantage. Wonder why the mid level placement is so much more brutal on Android. Is there a bigger pool of casual players with weak hangars filling out more of the lower tiers on iOS? After all, those under 30 3-bot hangars were beating somebody to rack up a gold tier rating. |

I saw some very weird lineups during my qualification matches - mediums, level 1 Punishers on level 8 Griffins, and such. Some players are still in their qualification matches, the OP might have encountered guys playing their qualification matches essentially with a tanking hangar.

I got placed in Gold I on iOS with a 6/7 hangar of predominately Ag bots. I don't consider myself to be a particularly skilled player either. I'm level 27 fwiw.

What bothers me is that on gold 2, there are low leveled 3 hangar players which i showed in my first post and playing against them makes it a one sided battle. But who am i to complain, its free gold. I don't think i will be leaving this tier soon. |

I got placed into Diamond II (9/9 to 9/10 hangar) and was winning pretty much the entire day against similar opponents. Then after I lost my first game of the day, the following match I got faced against level 15-20 players running 5/2 hangars. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」, MM?

I hate to say it but your all right which is scary it looks like there's a lot of holes in the new update I run 3 support bots and 2 brawlers with a 10/10 hanger I play with 12/12 players in my squad I can still do 500k on long maps just with my fury trebs but my average is only in the 400k some of my squad mates are unhappy if they do under 1 mil running solo I've done 960k so the roll you play in your squad makes a big difference to scores + you have people tanking so for me I think they need to look at how much damage you do and how much damage you take that would give a better idea and I don't understand why we can't play 5 on 5 instead of putting in 1 or 2 randoms that are just out gunned let me know what you think good or bad LOL cheers

Is there a huge discrepancy between how people are getting placed on each platform? Android hasn't had as much time to level off. The new mm IS the league system, and while android got to see the interface first, iOS got the the new MM first and so has had more time to even out. There may be other reasons for the differences between placement in both the platforms, but I think this is the largest one. |

I'm on iOS and I got placed in Diamond I. My hanger is 6-7 bots/7-8 weapons. But, I don't think I've seen anyone else in Diamond I with as low of a hangar as me. And some other people I know who are 9-10/10-12 were placed in Diamond II and one even in Gold I. So not exactly sure of it all. Seems pretty random.

I was placed in Diamond 3 and running an 8/7 hanger. Won my first few then started getting my butt kicked by 12s and 11s. Could qualifying right after the release (before the masses) impact placement? |

Literally every single game was against 12/12s and most of them were in the Expert League. |

Today I just hit Diamond II, there was only six of us in there. Two other people from that group posted today so does that mean half of us are on the forums? Are we an AA group now?
I'm seeing people with similar or lower hangers than mine in matches. Or higher in one Bot and some weapons. The top damage scorers seem to have better Bot and weapon selections than half of my hanger. I do not miss routinely facing the daily 11s and 12s hell. Although I'm sure Pix will bring them back sooner or later.
