How long for the unbalanced mess to end?

this happens after resets and usually goes on for about a week ....where matchmaking just matches anyone against anyone (whoever/whatever leagues doesn't matter) also happens at update times as well since the platform updates are not uniformly done - android usually get there's first and it puts the game out of sync with other platforms so android players are bundled together and all other platforms without said update play with each other then when the others get the update one by one it begins to even out a little more bit by bit.

Thanks iamme. Really appreciate the info. I just got the Angler and my first time out with it it was blown away in a heartbeat. Felt like I wasted a lot of $$$. Guess I will just tank and wait for things to return to normal. Thanks again! 

It’s 

it'll never be balanced run before sunk cost fallacy hits 

He was funny?

So the game is finally balanced again (as much as can be expected). Yay! As to tanking....lots of people do it. Why should I zoom up to a level where all I do is get wiped out every game? Why should I feed kills to someone who is using an OP bot in low tiers? Sorry, but no. I will tank like most everyone else does. It's not my fault Pix doesn't know how to do matchmaking. As to the Angler being nerfed...aren't they all? Only way to play this game is pay to play. I've accepted that.

Just don't tank.  It's a 「wee-wee」 move.

I took a hard break two years ago for 6 months. Was master1 breaking into champs occasionally. Came back and I was expert3. I stopped trying to get back to masters 6 months ago after I realized you need Premium to advance(50 percent no matter what winning streaks I go on). So I pulled up a chair to the dumpster fire (stopped donating and watching ads after March). It's still going, we have a half fifth of bourbon somewhere...

I was always playing at my own pace until they forced us to use our boosters. i was comfortable maintained around 50% rate.
the boosters screwed me up BIG in the beginning. other players must be like why he came out on top with mk2 hangers and reported me.
Now my normal mk2-lower tier hanger got boosted to face mk3s.
I partly quit for two weeks and the first few games played yesterday were all facing full mk3 squads still. now lose 12 games and 1 win.
the game i was top all lose. the game i accidentally forced out in first few second won.
i still have few hundreds boosters and i cant really play normally or have to tank and waste all of them.
Thank you Pix!

what i tend to find in virtually every match in D2 is my team has all low level bots some of them new player bots and many with 3-4 bots in a hanger against (and this no joke my experience) the majority of the enemy team have 5x mk2-3 , by majority i mean 5/6 out of every game.

i find (don;t know if it's just me) but the system seems to target those that don't pay out regularly and put them on the weakest team possible against a very very strong team and even tankers (full teams of tankers) countless times i've been on a team that's doing 800k or less while i'm doing 3-4-5 mil damage (i have some old paid bots/ won bots (2x mk2, 1x mk3-mender) no mk2 or 3 weapons at all)  it seems to go this way i'd say atleast 80% of the time and i simply cannot climb out of diamond because of this ...i can't take a whole team of mk2-3 on my own while my team get obliterated , if i do well and actually with some luck carry the team and i have many times i end up getting reported by morons.

try this , every single game .....i've been knocked down from expert 1 to D3 ....every game is full of these even tonight ...every game full of mk3 hangers i can post a hundred screenshots and pix don't care. OH! and when we DO! finally win a game this happens almost every game (second pic)....plenty of screenshots of these too...
