I decided to try set up my phone to stream to laptop so I could use it as a gamepad, but since it was a new phone I just loaded up a new hangar and started with the whole Destrier-Cossack deal. First 2 matches were alright. Then comes this gem.  Yes, zoom in. That's an Ancilot with Twin tarans firing away. Not just that, there were Quad Punisher Griffs too. Wanna see my bloody level?  Yes, 3, LEVEL 3. Trois, Tres, Three, San. What the actual bloody fudsicle is going on? I'm frustrated at this game now. WTH PIXONIC !?Next match:     |

You see all the threads about 'tanking' on the forum? That's tanking in action.
The match making system used to sort you based on the level of your equipment. Now it sorts you based on your league score.
Even if you're an experienced player with killer gear, if your league score is low enough you get matched with newbies. Newbies have low league scores because they haven't played much. High level players having league scores that low is problematic but it does happen.
And as you've seen, when well equipped high level players get put in matches with newbies, it's pretty terrible for the newbies.
That this is possible is one of the more common and most serious complaints about the new matchmaking system.

Can I request a mod to move this thread to its appropriate place? I can't use the forums well enough yet and honestly, too frustrated and annoyed to o anything.
Get this, next match with zenith golem campers, still lvl3.

We feel you brother...Pix is currently tracking stats on such idiots and will be sending them to a special "idiot" league so they can't do what was done to you...It should be live soon.

Have gear level factored into mm...amazing concept I know A gear based MM leads to the inevitable one bot game. Everyone then grabs that bot in its optimal configuration then proceeds to invalidate all other gear and bot set ups. The proof is in the last MM..that's exactly what happened...At least now there are at least 6-8 good TT playable bots with various gear set ups. A game of 4/12 Mag Gep hoards looked dumb and IS dumb from a strategy standpoint and a game business standpoint - mindless and boring. Back on point: Pix is taking on the OP issue with the segregation league...It cant come soon enough. |

Have gear level factored into mm...amazing concept I know I think the # of matches you've played should be a factor. Win or lose, you can only drop so far after 100,500,1000 etc. Pix has an algorithm that sorted us out in the beginning. Adding matches played based on normal player progression can't be too difficult. It should factor in total Au weapons/bots on hand. That way a player can't sandbag the first 5 matches with Ag weapons/bots and then switch to Au later. |

Every once in a while I notice that my team either wins or loses too quickly, now putting 2 and 2 together, 'Tanking' must be the cause of this, right?! There have been matches where I get demolished by just 1 player that it actually feels unfair, which is what I think newbies must be going through more often now. Down with tankers, I say. |

Yup, PIX is gonna fix another one of their screw ups. Not buying that. This most likely helps them get more money. They let it dear on for long enough, then before it impacts them, they will come up with some hair brained idea, that itself, is another screw up.

The problem w gear based mm is as explained here but the problem w not gear based mm is that u rnt able to experiment and have fun w low level gear except against the tough opponents in your league matches.
But it's structured like this on purpose so that u r motivated to spend money, lest u run out of new ways to enjoy the game

I like the new MM. Rookie matches used to be so boring with all cossacks and destriers. It's nice to see an ancilot every now and then in starter matches to spice things up!
