Last month I ended the month at 5700 or so. I felt I did okay. Currently I dont think Ill be in champs much longer. It has become ridiculous. Ares stomping around, Ajuns circling overhead, leeches doing their leeching..... The game has literally become unplayable in low champs. I do not know if it is the matchmaker actively destroying me of if it just the current condition of the game. The one thing I am sure of is that I am not going to attempt buying my way through it as that is a hopeless endeavor.

I am in low Champions League and I am doing fine right now(knock on wood). I get it though. The game has become a series of 5 second windows when you can actually shoot at something that isn't either stealthed, purple shielding, phase shifting or leeching. |

You're just in the beat down.
I was there not too long ago...26% and down to 4900.
I ended last season at 5200...am back to 5100 with a Leech and Fenrir.

I’m iOS M3 and losing 8 straight is par for the course.....no biggie at all. Later, I’ll roll over reds and smile again |

I don't even count losses or wins. Most of the time I've already mechted out moved on and I'm in another game.
I play for a win but I concentrate my win on the 1v1 battle because that's the battle I can control.
Like going after a bot or capturing/flipping a beacon. They are my "wins".
So on average I get a few wins most games even on the receiving end of a spawn raid.

I’m only just over 5000 and getting constantly smashed. So many Ao Juns, Ares and Leech. Frustrating.
My lvl 9 Bullwark spawns, he has 2 lvl 1 fortifiers plus max shield skill, and I know he is far from meta but his shield is often gone before I can even turn and see who is shooting at him!

Just a look at the replies has me wondering what the heck is going on. Some folks seems to be gliding though it and others like me are getting pounded. I was in a match a little while ago when my team mates has Griffins and Zues! We were pitted against Ares, Juns, Leeches and phantoms. My hanger is pretty tough all level 11s and got roasted in minutes.... There are times I wonder if PIX has an algorithm in place to try to frustrate you into spending.
I pulled my Ares and Juns back out of retirement just in hopes of surviving through a round. I am literally playing with bots that I hate because the bots I have always done well with are getting destroyed., The entire month last month I use a thee fenrir hanger

I can deal with all other bots except for leeches. If one sneaks in my radius - thats that, I don't even get a chance to move and I am smoked. I have lost 3 bots in a row trying to take down 1 leech. How are you not suppose to shoot at this thing when multiple ones of these make their way down to your camp - such a nuisance

Yea it's pretty bad out there. I'm in the same range as you, and that's pretty solid for me.
Anyway, i call that mid/high depending on the Champions League level i'm in. I was CL10 as high as that this month, so then i see all the whales.
It's a new power cycle, so that's how it's always been. I'm not sure where the Leech and phantom fall. They seem to be at the same power level as Ares and Ao Jun. I'll have to play the skirmish more, but it's kinda boring for me to beat up on noobs. Phantom seems like a fast version of fen, so if you've got weps to melt the Fen, then phantom is same. But faster. Leech feels weaker when it's piloted by weak pilot, and it's not maxed MK2 L70 , etc. Whale leech is tough to take down, so you gotta catch it with its pants down. If you do that, then it's easy. If not, then it won't be easy.

I haven’t noticed an abundance of Hovers floating about in my matches. Never realized we were with one another. I apologize. |

Usually since everyone has the same level stuff people who are very skilled at the game dominate (people who pay little to no money and have had to claw through the ranks rather than use their wallet as a ladder) so that means all the others wont play much of the skirmish. All the pay 2 players are now the only ones in the MM since they used their wallet to shield them from normal battle but our skill sticks are stronger in the skirmish so they stick with the normal games where their wallets are still worth enough to protect them. |

If not a spawn raid I do get a bit happy or annoyed when we win or lose but mostly, if I killed 1+ bot with each of mine I am good. Also I have fun fighting whales, cocky 「illegitimate child」s think my mercury or falcon can rip chunks off of you or your teammates? Well lets make you think twice about your next attack, either that or make you see red so I get a few more free kills, eother way it works for me! Lol |

I haven’t played that way sine I ran Leo, and that’s been about 2 years now. What I do do is cap, bait and polish off limping bots. In S- vs S-, that’s about all my gear CAN do. Thanks for the praise bro. |

Lol It's a game changer once you find "your" fun within Pix's construct that is really designed for us not to play the way we do. Taking down an Sorcery bot with legacy/non-meta gives me my fun that makes me keep coming back for more. |

Whenever the MM has me targeted for torture, I switch it up.
My theory is that the MM is a gargantuan, evil collection of algorithms that have ONE JOB —to keep you at 50% or lower with a short break to wander into 60-70% country then bash you back into your proper place. So I never run the same hangars for too long OR play the same game mode for too long. Granted I have a lot of toys and gear at my disposal, but this quirky little adjustment usually works to blast me out of whatever pigeonhole the MM had me in.
After I swap some gear around I will restart my device and play a completely different mode (FFA usually) with a different hangar. Try it out, nothing to lose.

My first game last night (maybe 10 games max) walked into one of those drop-ins, just blasted through my hangar in a minute. The next games the queue ramped up significantly and were far closer..but that disparity always exists. Then by chance I had a canyon round and tried my long range hangar... Everybody just so happened to pick falcons and Invaders. Argh. It needs a lot of work... It's time we cap champs by gear again or something, but I'm sure they're 'worried' about playerbase.. aha.

Not really. The resource rewards are too low at present in Skirmish. Sure, I'll play a little of that mode each day, but not much, what with the rewards being about half of normal play. 54 HP for top damage and not 400? Yeah, that's about right </sarc> |

Right now the absurd amount of au juns is more annoying than the leeches tbh It's really getting old. I kind of just want to troll Ao Jun's today in Treb Butch You know what I realized? I always ran healing modules and forgot about Butch. It even gets HP recovery from weapon flips so... Yeah, my first and only use of Quantum Radar. But at lv8 it's only 50-60k damage or so fully charged. Bleh. But of course there's a catch.. If I even have PC lmao |
