Why does MM focus on rank, and not gear score?

[LeGurp 62]

Guys! I am Staff Seargant. Why would I be put in battles with Warrant Officers 5?

What is wrong with you?!?

I.e., what is wrong with your idea of "match-making"?

Because those who earn their XPs and make wise buying choices should be at an advantage over those earning their XPs and making less wise choices.

There is more crystals for the grab in these battles, the higher the rank the more crystals are added to the battle fund. So the ratio XP/crystals is slightly better than when you are in battle where you are the highest rank. Of course you will have to fight harder (and smarter) being one of the low ranks. It is a slower process, les xp per battle, but you keep a better XP/crystals ratio.
It is teamwork, the other team will also have players with your rank, maybe your GS is better than their?

If that is the case I'll stop complaining.

You can still exist the battle if you feel at a disadvantage.

Every problem has a temporary solution, and I gave him a good solution to work with until a new patch

Premium is not a solution to a visual bug.

Too late,

but suddenly I read the discussion again today before you mention

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Third Lieutenant playing with Legends.

Apparently TO is p2w, but my results in this battle prove otherwise...

[wolverine848 13,097]

And yet more battles where the enemy is capping the flag unopposed as I get placed into the battle at the 6:31 mark.

E-X-I-T.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Sick and tire of the players on my team that come into battles with no modules, or a GS ~ 1/2 of the average GS of everyone else.

They are just mults as far as I'm concerned and I won't tolerate it.  I now exit all battles where I see that.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

MM just not bothering with this one, looks like a Christmas tree with all of the colours

 

Also, what's up with this player, now a Major, currently 4th position in this week's top 100 players

I noticed that as well, for some reason after the experiment MM puts low ranks together with high ranks.

[Blutaar 1,904]

I have seen that other tankers experience GS and rank related issued with MM too, but I am here to share my experiences and annoyance as well 
 

Spoiler

 

 

 

[Alklines 1,751]

Shame on you Tanki. It should be impossible for a Legend rank to play against a Captain (the lowest rank in this battle)

[wolverine848 13,097]

MM is particularly ugly today.

Keeps trying to place me in battles where enemies are winning 3-0 and half the time is gone.

Um.... No Thanks!

 

LOL - it did it again... only 1:23 left this time.

So - not only is MM broken in terms of allowing absolutely ridiculous rank-spreads - it is also broken in assigning teams.

More often than ever before, I see unbalanced teams in terms of ranks assigned.

One side is 7 legends & a Commander  vs   3 Legends, Commander and 4 lesser ranks of Marshal down to Major.  It's just dumb.  I EXIT those battles now too as the spawn-camping starts early.

Lately, I've exited about 40%-50% of the battles I've been assigned to.  MM is really, really broken and not worth playing.

I've played about 8 battles all day, missions done, parked up.

I don't need anything, so unless they sort this complete joke out, who cares, because the devs certainly don't. 

From the shop, right the way thru to the useless garage that never gives you what you want without it's own personal battle, it's either overpriced, OP, are just doesn't work as intended.

Their ineptitude is only matched by their greed. Great combo don't you think.

Lots of crap battles AGAIN.

Each time I'm placed in a battle the other team is already capping 1-2 flags.  Or just spawn-killing.  E-X-I-T.

Can't get any missions completed.

Match-Maker is garbage.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Multiple battles today where multiple team-mates have GS < 5000.  Other team... not at all.

 

FIX THE RANK-SPREADS AND TEAM BALANCING ALREADY! 

 

I look at teams each time I enter battle and will continue to exit when I see the ridiculous set-up TO is allowing.

This picture for you, I entered the battle with 7500 GS, and get zapped by seeing all players are in a critic GS. Immediately I switched to Vulcan Incendiary-band to exploit this game very well, I know it's something shame on me haven't led my team to the win. But to be honest, it's a very hot chance to have a battle with low GSs, I wonder why you always criticize this flaw in MM, for sure it wont hurt neither me nor you, it's the life opportunity to have such a match. True being on unbalanced match and you are OP it's not an interesting thing, but this isn't always or permanent, it's just one time happens

TO should be ashamed for allowing a battle like that.

I don't follow what you are trying to say here.

[Noghtfly 114]

Ok, I had a very easy game. But come on Tanki, it should be impossible for me to play against players 12 ranks below mine....
