How does the new scoring affect you?

Easing the point loss would help, just because it would ease the sting of the unfair matches, but I think the core of it is that the current system doesn't really do a very good job of rewarding the strength of individual or team performance relative to the strength of the opponents. Because hangar strength has nothing to do with it, when someone on my team has league scores close to mine but are tanking by playing with 1/1 destriers (yes seen that), I lose just as much as when it's a good match, or when I play against someone with a league score close to mine but is a tanker/clubber heading back up with a maxed hangar (or a squad of them - yes seen that too) I lose just as much as when playing against fair competition.

Points well taken, and I do agree that it absolutely sucks to be stuck with a bunch of Pee Wee Hermans who just want to play with themselves and stick to voyeurism, and, therefore, are not involved with the entire team in order to play for a win in this orgy of destruction we call a battle.

I get those battles occasionally, too, but I have to say that it isn't that often.  Are you seeing them more than say, 25% of the time? (25% is waaay too much, but I figure that is a good threshold number that, if crossed by the majority of players, Pix would have to change something up more than just adding a leaver league that doesn't really punish anything, from all that I can tell.)

So, counter question... if the world was perfect, everyone lived in a climate like LA's, only pretty people existed, cars all had V8s that had no impact on the environment and got 60mpg, cats and dogs got along, and we could be guaranteed a 95%, or better, rate of games that have full teams that were not matched more than 2 levels +- in either direction, would you still prefer a different scoring system?  Or just a reduction in the amount of points lost? 

I am being serious (even acknowledging the light tone of some of this post) and I ask this question purely from the stance of trying to not be nailed down to a particular notion without having a good idea of both sides of the argument to better decide where I should make my camp. 

*Also, I don't mind the experimenters all that much, I've done my fair share and may have caused a loss or two from staying in a bot too long to gauge its effectiveness... but the AFKs and the Ditchers can eat a hot, steaming, creamy bowl of Richard. Jus' sayin'.

What league you're in? Maybe in the higher ones, there's not much fluctuations, since everybody there already have established gears mostly. But in lower league, I can say that the percentage is on 50%, or strong 40% at the very least.

IMHO, I think you're missing the point. It's not about "dreaming for an ideal world". It's about fairness and consistency. It already applied on many games, so it's a reality. Battlefield, Point Blank, Call of Duty, you name it. Your personal rank would not demoted because of the losses in random matches. In War Robots, the developer seems overwhelmed by many good concepts they wanna apply to the game, but many times they failed to recognize the inconsistencies/contradictions that may happened between some different concepts.

War Robots right now is all about Capture The Flag and/or King of The Hill game modes, right... But rewarding damage much more than beacons/flag in Capture The Flag mode? Really? Is that Capture The FLAG or Capture The DAMAGE???

Punishing players who fight to the death but loosing only because they've been MATCHED BY THE GAME with incompetent teammates or stellar opponents? Aw come one... Is it fair? At least in other games, we can choose which room we wanna fight in.

Just a thought

From what I understand, he meant that it's better if the game separates individual score and team score. Punish players for their OWN lack of achievements, not for others' incompetences. As well as rewarding also. In other games, we can loose many battles (low win percentage), but it won't get us demoted, as long as our individual performance is strong enough (good kill/death ratio, assist, etc). In War Robots, all get thrown and mixed together in one bowl.

There you are... Your league is quite high. Some threads said that the higher the tier, more stabilized the MM is. In Bronze (or even Private), there are many proofs that we faced Silver and higher guys (maxed, sometimes)

That is the problem with the current system, it does not measure skill per game contribution, only by damage.

It's been a significant improvement for me, as I'll chug over to a nearby unprotected beacon no matter what I'm piloting, but the tanker/clubber problem is still prevalent and still the main determinant of most matches. A leaver queue is a ridiculous band-aid, since it just hides tanking and does nothing to prevent the clubbing that tanking enables.

I have been steadily making a gradual rise through the tiers.  Sometimes the rise has felt like a roller coaster, but there has been steady progression overall.

Feb - ranked Gold I and maintained
March - made cut Diamond III, by 3 cups and fell back immediately.
The weeks since I have hit D II challenge matches 3 times and fell back.  What has changed for me is not falling back as far each time.  The 2nd time I broke 2400, never went below.  The same for 2500 cups.
When I broke through to Diamond II I did not just clear I went to 2689, a 1/3 into D II.  

I do run 95% solo.  I see alot of variance with MM:
- wide ranging levels on both sides
- clan battles where, I'm the only non-clan/squad
- ditchers/tankers/leavers etc.....

*But I also see a tremendous amount of matches that go down to 3 min left & 2 min left and down to the wire matches.  I do see alot of matches with a mix of bots that balance out the mix!

*What I dont alot of discussion is the amount of time Pix is taking to rework the game - Bots, Weapons, Maps, Spawn locations, Point System, Leaver League and ...  but damn...

For something that is 100% free, 100% choice, I see alot people putting out 100 「female dog」.  It is just gets tiring.

If more pilots spent more time sharpening their skills on the battlefield, their time spent sharpening their tongue on the forum would diminish and all would be happier!
