completed Battle button matches ranks badly

[Auhsoj1 68]

I like how the battle button can even out battles with an inevitable victor. However, at the rank I am at, all battle- button-created battles place me at the very bottom of the scale, which means I am constantly overpowered and outmatched. I would like to see the battle button create battles of varying ranks so that some ranks are not always scoring low.

In the meanwhile, you @Auhsoj1 could try to go to another server.
Like if the game logs you into server EN5, you could manually change to server EN6 and try your luck there. The higher the number of the server, the lower are the ranks.

 

Today (after the matchmaking was finally introduced) you should face much less of that issues, as it's not possible to log into the wrong server any more.

I only click the battle button only once or twice in a month so Idk  but whenever I clicked it I face high rankers so I manually go to btls.

Well you should never use the battle button.

It sends me always to battles with Generalissimos.

 

There are plenty of battles at your rank where you could be highest or second highest. Choose them your own.

I rarely use it too...

I choose battles from the list, but I also think that the default rank brackets are too big.

Hazel Rah said on the RU forum that the rank range can only be reduced once the matchmaking system is released. But if it is done before that, battles simply won't fill up because there aren't enough players of the same rank on the same server to be able to fill it.

Atleast this button should ask rank size.

After tomorrow's update the rank ranges in battles should be a lot more balanced. See more details here.

this is really bad

Hopefully devs will fix it, but I agree - the current "matchmaking" is far from what we were promised.

I know the first time we saw "Matchmaking" it was just really testing the server loads.

 

But how the heck do they not apply rank-brackets for this roll-out they've been working on for a year?

Wow. You were in a battle with ThirdOnion. Is he in your friend list or that is just a luck?

That can't be acceptable since there is no server changer in "Downlodable Client".

and there is also no server change in the browser version/stand-flash versions -> any more.

It was here by the time I wrote the post you've quoted.

 

I'll edit my answer in post 2 a bit.

This is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what they did... why is this completed? Nothing has changed except now any rank can play with any rank.

[mr.bryant 36]

Well its too bad the mods and devs are still trash

Devs say it's a glitch in the system. Should be fixed in the near future.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

This has not been completed.  In fact the Battle Button was a superior system for matching rack brackets because it at least had a set rank LIMIT.  MatchMaking can and does throw any rank in with any rank as long is there is an equivalent on the opposite team.  And sometimes it doesn't even need an equivalent.

 

MatchMaking is basically the Battle Button with long waiting times and unlimited rank brackets.

That's how you knew me in Industrial Zone CTF!!!  I never knew that.

Now that this is slightly fixed, my alt (master sergeant) battles with coporals and can't really keep up.

[Maf 32,333]

 

 

 

But based on your score in these matches, the MM system actually matched you up fairly well, since your skill level compensates your weak equipment and still puts you on the same level as those WO and lieutenant players. So I don't really see the problem here.

That's just an issue with groups. Will probably be fixed soon, and it wouldn't be an issue in the first place if players didn't try to intentionally break the system by grouping up with low ranked friends.

The rank distribution in MM battles is far from perfect - that I cannot deny. But I do think it's an overall improvement compared to the previous system. Sure, you won't always be the highest rank in the battle, but before this update certain ranks ALWAYS ended up the lowest in the games they enter, so that problem has been fixed.
