I’m in Champ 11. Just had a game with a Gold 3 player on my team. Thought he was a tanker when I saw the sub-200,000 dmg score. But no, just a poor guy with a 3-bot hanger, all lvl 6. And no, it wasn’t a squad where the low player got dragged up by teammates, it was all solo randoms. I thought the MM only matched you with players one league up or down, but I guess now any league can be matched with any other? Been playing 4 years and never seen this before. Has the player base really dwindled this badly?

You're gonna get that sort of thing with a shrinking player base.
Pix could try to entice some players who left (like me) to return with generous deals and giveaways but we're talking about Pix here so that's not an option.

Goodness! On iOS?! Well, like bravex said, it's because of a shrinking player base, but apparently it's worse than I thought it would be. In my opinion, they are trying to give "better" deals, but not the kind they need to entice players to come back. It's like "We used to sell silver for 82% off, now you can get 83% or 84% off." *scoff* I think they're trying little discounts, trying to find the minimum they think they can get away with, rather than a desperate "we're sorry, please come back" approach.

But they are giving players very very generous deals. Buy 14,000 event tokens and get a new meta bot in return. Its a bargain!

I had MM like this on Friday/Saturday but it has been solid since Saturday evening. My issue is the number of squads us rando’s are being matched with. It was not an issue, for me, prior to the 6.7 drop last week when they separated iOS and Android. I would assume things will settle down once we are put back together. Not saying things are great - I just think that right now the changes are due to separation.

Has the player base really dwindled this badly? I was wondering the same. I’ve had several matches over the weekend that both teams had a variety of players that ranged from Champions to silver. Could the active player base actually be this small on a weekend?

Has the player base really dwindled this badly? And now it's a new season and next we re-qualify and must endure the process of letting the tankers overpower play at the lower levels with 12/12 hangars on their ways back up to their normal levels. I have to boycott at Masters 2 while I wait for players with maxed hangars and literally 10 times more wins yet playing in Masters 3 to shoot up those willing to be crushed as target practice. They are simply working the system and it is NO FUN to play for at least 2 weeks. AND THEN, it is time to get sucked into random Squads and bizarro GOLD to CHAMPION matches, that are also NO FUN.

MM is a total poop sandwich...constantly goin against S clan duos that somehow get an S clan random put on their team while me and 1 S clan teammate get rolled with our C and D clan crew. It is absolutely incredible how often it happens.

It is absolutely incredible how often it happens. I play mostly around master III and expert. Here the bigger problem is below. I am not sure what’s the happiness these people find by staying low and smashing us poor souls 🤣😅
