i'm expert 3 .........
every match in the past week has been FILLED with master 1-2 and higher! , the last match a few moments ago was 11x master 1-2 and me in expert 3
ALL matches yesterday contained at least 9 champions me at expert 3 and 2 master 1
ONE match in the past week has contained a couple of experts and the rest gold?
match making is completely messed up BIG time and it's continuing so much i can't play as nearly ALL of them are mk3 maxed hangers

This is how PIX encourages spending. It doesn’t work for all, but that doesn’t matter because every ruble counts.

Browncoats4ever. Too 「fluffernutter」ing funny.... its not a problem its a feature.... lol Thanks for the laugh. The matchmaking is something we all endure. Its swings wildly in competition level and will usually keep ya at a 50% win rate. I find its better/ worse at certain times of day. Wild guess is overall player count and region that they play. I usually avoid playing at when the free adds reset as lots of players are online and im thrown in with champs as cannon fodder. Lots of tankers out there too.... so just keep playing your game. Good luck!

match making is completely messed up BIG time and it's continuing so much i can't play as nearly ALL of them are mk3 maxed hangers Guess you just gotta max your hangar too Comrade What's funny is how Pixonic does it when you've maxed your hangar--they just adjust the players on the teams to keep your win rate where they want it. Hence why a fair number of people in clans won't run solo... so you end up with kill squads running through the solo queues. In solo queue games where there were no squads? I've had experts show up. Not ones that just got moved down, not during qualifying periods... just... Expert league players in Champion league games. And whichever side has the expert (or experts, plural) tends to lose. According to their explanations of matchmaking it shouldn't be possible to have games with people from TWO leagues down, so I reported it as a bug, and I got a generic response that said nothing. There's a whole other issue with the difference between a maxed hangar, a maxed meta hangar, and a maxed FULL meta hangar, which tends to be the difference between Legends and Champions. It gets strange at the top because you reach a point where there's nothing you can do to improve your hangar except run more of whichever bot Pix wants you to spend money on, and... y'know, it's not that fun to run five khepris. Or five of anything. So at some point the game forces you to choose between winning and enjoying it. And here's the thing: none of that is inevitable. Could do matchmaking based on total hangar cost, for example. Won't solve meta vs. non-meta, unless you add in a differential or have older bot costs decay over time. Could cap hangars at no more than 1 or 2 of a specific bot type, or even weapon type. Could have multiple game leagues where bot choice is limited, just as it is in some event tasks. What's the down side? Longer queues, I suppose. But would you be willing to wait 5 minutes to get a fair game?

I just mentioned to J.u.n.k.M.a.l.e. sometimes you eat lunch, sometimes you ARE lunch. Or something to that extent when he was making a video for his YT. Dude there is a plethora of complaints over the years in the rants section AND more than a few colorful ones from yours truly. I think Junk said it best when he stated play to compete or play for fun knowing MM is gonna toss some BS in there some place. I'm just glad they removed repair cost, that was a huge silver sink. BUT it did cause people to have more diverse hangers if they wanted to run back-to-back matches without paying the insta-repair cost. Even someone with multiples of the same bot would have it on standby to rotate in when the other needed repair, instead of placing their multiples all in the same hanger(as is more common now).

OP, as said above, it is a feature. You’ve probably entered a new match making zone hence harder opposition. Seems rough tho and the MM-is undoubtedly going to throw you a bone. Either spend to catch up or grind to to catch up or just take it as it comes and don’t worry about it.

And now all they have are bull「dookie」 excuses on why it shouldnât come back because if some minor exploits they couldnât be arsed to fix. Can you imagine how long a queue for a Full whale squad with a combined $50,000 hangar would be? Gotta appease the Oligarchs.

Fact of the matter is, you can do nearly EVERYTHING in game without ever spending a penny more than your internet access. Paying is just that, you pay to HAVE, you will NEVER pay to WIN in War Robots. Will having help? Yes it will, but at some point (I'm guessing after the second or third purchase), they talor our MM & sales to urge you to spend. Play as long as you can have fun with a moderate amount of frustration or annoyance. If not, bow out now...although I hate to see players leave such a great game because of Pixonics internal & shady politics, and crappy MM.

Because we need more honest players to spam out the few punk hackers. Pixonic WILL fix the problem if hackers make their whales start to leave. ATM the whales just kill the hackers, they don't get much play facing a murder squad Mk3. And those people are in coms, they just focus the hacker & continue the match.

There's a chance to see some different bots now and then. Clan/squad play lends itself to wave after wave of Khepris. Thanks, no thanks. i run a khepri for a singular purpose .....i'll start a game with mender 99.99999% of the time(excellent for team play) lol my mender is a tanky lil shiz it's my only mk3 bot but with lvl 9-10 bendies so it can last a whole game (i have no mk2 or 3 weapons at all) when it comes to the time (which is quite often nowdays) of mk2-3 shells rampaging , mk2-3 fens and khepri's i'll pop out my khepri which is loaded with scalds lvl7 and burn through them all! they tend to stay in a pile of kheps/shells and a healers so the explosion damage usually gets all of them (they never learn) and i'll even burn through titans with it when needed , but other than that i use my mender like i said.

Oh i saw a pilot named "pilot iamme" that's not me lol my in game name is this , i played a few games very late last night and came across a few hackers right after the reset ...two members of the C(star icon) clan and another was GROZA with a full mk3 hanger...they still got capped out but regardless it was annoying as hell. You can’t be certain this one’s a tanker. It’s more like he’s a spender. Notice the low number of wins and lack of Champion Cups. Champion Cups are the lower number under the league rank. You get them by remaining in Champs at the end of each season/month. They’re equal to your level above 5000 rank points. I spent a few months in lower Champs before the league rebalancing so I accrued a few cups.

Being Bronze, Silver, Gold is usually a sign, but not all are tankers. A few AND I DO VERY FEW are returning Champs who Pixonic nerfed a few years ago.

Ah, i been killing that PoS all this time....now i know who to really pwn! calling ME a PoS aye! what because i don't tank or cheat or pay out huge sums of money but still win! and like i said in the original post it is me ......kill me all you like ...if your a tanker i'll just afk ....if your a cheater i wont even spawn no issues there ......hell i'm in expert one facing champions anyway so used to it .....had THREE members of yume hacking several games tonight , and that win rate was after several games after the reset ...no clue why so high but i usually hit 60-70% and then i'm against tankers every game thereafter so it drops to MAYBE 20-30% ......i don't use the same as everyone NO harpies or sirens NO fenrir tanks NO skyros which are flooded in pretty much every single game.

just for the record , my hanger and stats currently (screenshot taken moments ago) - what i use mostly , sometimes i'll switch out bots i get bored of (which is often) another thing , i DON'T consider someone with 1-2 mk3 bots a real tanker and manageable what i consider a tanker is max mk3 full hanger and weapons (which is common nowdays) i can and have faced off mk3 bots quite often but when they come back again and again only targeting you because they don't like losing in ALL mk3 everythings that is sad and i'll just afk or leave since it ain't worth the effort

Like Mm does idiotic crapola likt this to get you to pay. Dumped 3 tankers on one team and a squad on another. The tankers exploded themselves and left 3 of us to face a squad +4.
