These 2 players should not be in the same match. Tell me why.   I also had an E1 with 3 maxed Hawks. BTW: I’m still having fun. |

These 2 players should not be in the same match. Tell me why.once you reach Master league your game free trial is already expired. either you start spending to have fun, or you stay in the lower league and continue to upgrade things then get suspended for tanking later

The MM makes no sense at times. Too many variables for it to be correct all the time. But I do think it needs to be at least partially based off of hangar strength. If someone wants to run non maxed and non meta bots or weapons, why get matched with maxed combos. It makes no sense. But skilled players shouldn’t drop down too far in leagues if that is what they choose to run and a hangar strength system is used. Yes, I am sure someone will game the system, but they do that anyway.

Yes, I am sure someone will game the system, but they do that anyway. The mis-matchmaker unfortunately is an integral part of their whole monetization strategy. They’re trying to make you feel like you HAVE to get the latest and best gear NOW, and upgrade it as quickly as possible so that you can compete NOW. Spend money to get the gear sooner rather than later, then spend more money to upgrade it all to the point of playability. It’s been made worse by the shrinking player base, but that’s still its whole purpose for being, no matter what they say they’re doing to keep the game balanced and competitive. That’s the biggest pile of horsepoop going. If they were to return to hangar-based matchmaking, and you’re mostly getting matched with equally-powered players, that’s almost de-incentivizing players to obtain and upgrade new gear. Of course it would make the game more fun for the players, but Pix has demonstrated time and again that that’s clearly not their main objective. |

When has the MM been good/fair/correct/equal?
I sure do not remember any of that.......
Side note: isn’t there a pinned deal for MM Rants?

BTW: I'm not having fun the past week or so. There's just no players available on IOS my local time so getting the same squads over and over again. Tells me a lot about their playerbase numbers and frankly just no point playing. |

Happens to me all the time. I'm the M2. The other thing that happens all the time is getting crushed by Expert 2 with 20,000 wins and maxed Hawks. Seriously, WTH.

Its called "tanking". Pix pay no attention to that. all they care about is getting money. Which is probably why they spam me with offers first thing when I enter the damn GAME

While I agree with what you say the problem is even if you spend the matchmaker screws you if not in full squad. So thinking spending will end getting dookie games is pipe dream. I get so many first loser games its crazy. Just enjoy the smackdowns knowing the beating will continue until moral improves. |

The only way to avoid the constant carrot-dangling is to spend enough to obtain the latest and greatest, and then upgrade it all to the max, including pilots, drones, modules, and whatever else they dream up to separate you from your money. And then pray you don’t run into better players with the same deep pockets. |

I am down to 20% win. The temporary separation of the platforms had some adverse effect on my win rates, but I usually end up within the first two ranks in the losing team, so my winged cups are on a rise.

And here is Pix I’d say there are two different things going on when the MMer transforms P2Ws into P2 lose. Maxing a meta hanger will likely transport the player into the top one or two spot either on the winning or losing team. On average the long term win rate should be somewhat under 50%. Should the player play a lot, than the league cups will go up and since the MM will matched mostly on cups the compensation for high league cups will be allocating weaker team mates. Bingo, losing streak. but it is all about monetisation. |

See how fond of the game you are when you don’t care about ads, daily gold, SD tokens and all that. Things will not get better. The game just got more unbalanced and more money hungry since Pix was taken over. The game is too far gone and Pix will milk who ever is left. It is not about competition. It is all about selling a fantasy to paying customers and to convince them how skilled they. The ones who do not pay are feeding the visions of those who do. |

It got better after the IOS update. I guess they had to do a bit of bad matchups since iOS was isolated and played base is less.

All iOS matches are consistently competitive bordering on impossible. My standings jumped to the top 2 right away in most matches after I updated. |

i dont want to be rude...but i must say that 20% win rate is abysmal. i had to say. I'm in the 20s as well. Not for lack of trying but only playing a few games a day due to the current crazy non merged match ups. It's funny watching Adrian's streams and seeing that no matter what he does with completely maxed out everything, it still ends up in one sided games where he is always saying "where's my team?" |

As a player that has been doing more with less, and rubbing it in the faces of opponents AND Pix for years, I call BS on this. There is NO code that solo players adhere to, and there is NO obligation to conform to any standard. Pix let’s us build whatever and HOWEVER we want, then throws us all into the big mismatch maker blender where they freely toy with our perceptions and emotions. Their game IS the manipulation of minds in order to GET YO MUN AY. |

Not that it’s news that the MM is a poop mountain, but check this one out  this guy slaughters half our team and I lead my team in kills with 2 Rogs in my hangar. 😂 The more you spend = the better you eat |

Those of you who're obsessing over your win rate are doing it wrong. There are so many variables toward winning that are actively working against you that it's absurd. Stop it.
If you're getting bent out of shape over what other people are running, that's a little more understandable. That said, since Pix refuses to fix the MM to factor hanger strength into the equation in a meaningful way it is what it is. Accept the 「dookie」 sandwich to be your next meal and find enjoyment in another manner.
Stop letting Pix determine your level of happiness. Run what you want. Play how you want. Do what you find to be enjoyable. As Brother BB says, "find your game within the game." His is finding success running non-meta stuff and making fun, quirky videos about all that. Mine is working to torment others by either making them chase me around in my Loki, killing them with stupid stuff, or hitting them when they think they're hidden and safe all snuggled up with their binky.
Unplug from the Pixonic "matrix" and find your own game within the game.

THE MISMATCHMAKER SPECTRUM OF STUPIDITY IN FULL EFFECT NEVER had this happen before. Just finished 2 back to back matches on Rome using the same exact hangar  1st match I get thrown into the meat grinder with a bunch of legend leaguers, hold my own considering I am comically outgunned  Immediately following, I am in Rome again...only THIS time I get to feast on 4 experts and 2 diamond leaguers  Again, Ive never experienced a back to back disparity like this in thousands of matches. |
