I don't blame you, I am deliberately sitting in masters 1 this season and if my win rate drops below 40% you see players from expert and sometimes diamond league, up against claw anglers and spear khepris. Ludicrous.
So many players just abandon the game or end up doing 500k damage against players doing 10mil. What a joke this matchmaking system is and yes I still see full mk3 players in expert league as well.

I'm predicting there's going to be a huge shift in leagues. Whereas before you rarely saw full MK3 hangars in low Expert, now I get the impression they are becoming more and more common, and may be spilling into diamond as well. Eventually, MK2/3 will crush the lower leagues and that will be the end of the game. Then you will be forced to buy some of the weapons they sell at MK2 to even survive.
I know there are lots of MK3 tankers in lower leagues, but what I'm meaning is more people are going to get there "legally" with MK3.

From personal experience its already in diamond thankfully not gold yet but theres mk 2 everywhere so its barely better |

Yeah, it is flat out p2w all the way down to low leagues. These arent necessarily tankers. By selling mk2 gear for extremely cheap, as well as resource deals, and running frequent -40% upgrade events, Pixonic has created a way for people to completely bypass the upgrade grind of mk1, and fast track upgrade to max mk2. In doing so, they have been able to capitalize on the addiction psychology of lower league players. Before, most of the purchasing was clearly done by players in Master and Champ, especially the latter. So it is not surprising a business would come up with a way to make money off low leaguers desire to kick butt with better gear, so again the players suffer and the company makes a huge profit. And like I said in another thread, as long as their purchase analytics are telling them the players are willing to pay huge amounts of money for a broken product, they will never spend money to fix the problems - they dont truly give a 「dookie」 about the quality of the game, because the players keep playing and paying anyways.

I've been battered down to Gold already. It's alright.
Soon Silver, lastly Bronze, where I will fight amongst the wreckage of this once great game until the Darkness takes us all.

I mentioned before about the downward pressure from champions, while noticing the upward pressure from lower leagues, MK1s, that is…. Usually up through expert. As I have been a perennial M1, always knocking on the door of Champs, and spending a bit of time there.. I have been permanently pushed into M1, and currently in M2. I have never MK TWOed anything. Not a single item. All of my gear is Lvl 9-11, some 12. SOOO, In M2, The variety of bots is a breath of fresh air. but maxed MK two gear is everywhere… just look at the scores from a match last week, look up the opponents, every single one of them has better gear and higher lvl bots than I do. What can we discern from this simple snapshot? Easy. First of all, look up any of those players. Nobody knows how to play this game anymore. They don’t know maps, timing, strategy, playing with randoms as a quasi team. The simple mistakes are becoming more prevalent; walking by an unclaimed beacon, more kamikaze BS, etc.. They have bought in, without even knowing what they’re doing. (Good job Pix) The worst part is, is that they have made the game so complicated, that it forces veteran players to think outside of the box in a little bit… I understand making adjustments. but, for example , ifthe drones are so complicated, and I figured out a way to make one work really well, why should I be penalized for that? It’s part of the learning curve. They invent the curve, they squash the curve. Peace   |

Yeah, It sucks.
I don't know who at Pixonic is seeing players get deleted in less than a second like:
-and seeing nothing wrong with it.
