5000-7000 cups was really fun. 7000-8000 and above got noticeably tougher. I’m over 9000 as of this post and my beef is that the MM is still throwing low level master leaguers and sometimes an expert into all of my matches. Leads to a lot of bad games becuz of 4 and 5 caps or tankers making it 5v6 or 4v6.

Nono, I think people misunderstand. I suspect iOS has a very high dollars spent per capita, vs other servers. As such, I think the blatant p2w problems with meta bots becomes apparent faster than on other servers. Example; if there are only 10% top meta in a game, then leeches would not likely be blamed for bad matchups as much as a game where 75% is top meta. So I suspect the attitude of players varied by server. Iâ??m curious now what those plYers think now that they are thrown in the grinder with everyone else. If the world was perfect... someone would ?female dog? about there being nothing to ?female dog? about... My own playstyle is a bigger problem to me than "Uber meta bots made of can't-killium"... Admittedly, Ao Jun, PHANTOM,and AM are a pain, and I LOATHE LEECHES.(BROKEN RECORD ALERT: If the LEECH shield was structured like PANTHEON shields and its firepower more like an ARES, I would hate them less.) PIXO artificially maintaining the population of Champions League is what generates the huge mismatches. If it took hundreds of dollars to GET to Champions League...only spenders would be there. Then actually talented spenders would obliterate the wallet warriors. The real torture would come if, upon arrival at Champions League.. you had to stay there for 3 months...no matter how many rank points you lost...spend $$/get crushed LOL. But that is pure fantasy... Might be interesting if PIXO built a bonus system for honor points based on "meta-ness" of bots...ie: LEECH=1.0 HP/ROGATKA=1.5HP. More fantasy... If I kill a mk2 bot with a lv8 bot, I should get more honor, not less honor because my rank is lower. Utterly 「fluffernutter」ing 「slow」.

Overall, games are loading quicker (at least for me) and the games seem to feature less full squads and less maxed out plasma Minges for some reason. That might be because every player now seems to have a Minge or Arthur so they don't stand out as much.
This is IOS

In master league I CAN NOT stop getting teams full of Natasha and leo's that get us slaughtered 6 to 30 and of course the other team is running Ao Jun, Hades, Nemesis, Leeches, Phantom, ever seen a 「fluffernutter」ing Natasha try to fight a maxed phantom?
Anyway I didnt have this problem before the merge, after the merge every game a level 6 Natasha or leo or patton or Gareth.

iOS Master League player -
I have seen an overall better game since the merger.
Since "better" is subjective depending on what one wants from the game, I will list my reasons:
1. More variety, even with the Champions League players as it DOES seem to me that there is much less uber maxed meta (U.M.M) out there since the merge. I like not knowing what I will see out there... Inqs? Boas? Hellburners? Leos? Freaking Vityaz? Pattons!?! Yup... have seen them all lately.
2. The lack of attention to BEAtails by many players, which could be seen as a negative, has pushed me to an action I thought I had given up on: I have now re-instituted a beacon hangar that is only focused on them, without a Titan even. Beacons or bust... baby! My Beacon tasks are filled in no time and I keep my beacon game in use since I have gotten to like TDM a lot more lately (Ag is the main reason... it's been quite nice!) So, while the game itself didn't provide this positive, I would not have done it if the lack of beacons wasn't an issue... does this count?
3. Overall I am seeing a much better spread of leagues and have been dropped into much less all/mostly Champions League games... even during peak times. It's been pretty consistent with 2-4 Champions League players on both sides, with a mix of Expert and Masters to round it out. These only suck when my team are all campers and the Red team are all beacon pushers (if I am playing a Beacon mode) and/or have maxed AMs floating around like a nasty, spitting, overfed, hornet with a sore stinger. But, if I am running the hangar I mentioned in #2, we still have a chance to win... more often than not. In TDM, the only times the game sucks is when I am a squad battle "extra", for the most part.
IMO,YMMV

Is this game starting to be huge waste of time? I mean,it's a game, so of course it's a huge waste of time... but now it seems to be huge-er lol. Didn't count, but games like this are becoming numerous, every day... this time I barely made a shot before the reds were overrun. In the end I was sorry I even made that barely shot... c'mon pixonic, I know you're reading, fix this crap...

Iâm curious If the non iOS players will change their collective tune regarding meta bots after merged a while. I have a suspicion it was never as bad as it was on iOS. And now that iOS can inflict its misery everywhere, weâll see how long everyone else tolerated it. I've reaped rewards being a 5-6k iOS and getting 「grape」 all the time, my win rate and fun factor have soared. Android minnows are delicious for this dolphin...

It is now much better. The games are more balanced. For the first time I passed 11k, but I think it is due more to the coronavirus. The only difference I have noticed is the presence of many lokis. I also often put it. I don't know if this is a consequence of the nerf at the shotguns, however on Ios they started using it earlier.

I'm a broken glass, fish hook and Crystal Drano laced F2P Droid minnow for you to snack on... PsychoPsyd... My reputation normally proceeds me, but from your post I see you were out of the room at the time... I take pride in capping beacons and requiring commanders who spend money on their hangar to accept copious amounts of damage to get through me...I watch for bot abilities and their usage before attacking and usually draw reds away from their teammates so they can neither receive or give assistance...I do unpredictable,seemingly stupid,things with higher success rates than you might imagine. I'm well aware that there are a lot of "less than ideal" Droid players...I suspect there are a lot that play on IOS as well... I'm not calling you out. I'm stating that broadly painting Droid players as generally incompetent is getting old...and as a "DOLPHIN", which I'm taking to refer to your in-game spending habits, it sounds like you're confusing a willingness to spend money with game playing skills. Defeating an INQUISITOR with an Ao Jun is no monster feat...if you lose half your HP against him, a victory dance is not warranted. Now... I've probably taken your post way too seriously, and I shouldn't be considered the "Droid Defender"...but I suspect you were hoping for a reaction and I hope I didn't disappoint. When we meet on the field; If I'm blue, I will be the one attacking beacons so you can up your damage stats and showing up to keep you from being attacked all by yourself... If I'm red, I will be at best (for you) a meal that tore your insides out and at worst will be dining on you. Again...let me state that this is not entirely directed at you. I just wish to be assessed as a Commander and not by the platform I play on. If your intention was to get a reaction...I congratulate you. Well done.

For me, coming from Amazon, we greatly increased our player base, so games are much more even for me. Occasionally, I still see that dominant player who just takes over the game. But overall, I'm playing equal level players.
I used to either dominate or get crushed on a regular basis. That doesn't happen as often now.
More importantly, I used to wait 30 seconds or more for a game and now it's about 5 seconds until battle starts. Obviously, that's just the player base. And I hardly ever see the old players I used to see all the time.
