Let's Discuss Matchmaking

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

What about Berlin?  :ph34r:

Berlin is a pretty big map. It's more suitable for 36 players or even 40 players. Besides I heard that some players had problems loading into the map.

One team is always strong while other is too weak, never saw balanced teams and good enjoyable battles.

If they can add sandbox they should add Berlin too.

Also, this is what happens when you let a Duplet user, who is at the same rank as Duplet's unlockability, into a battle with them being the highest rank. 

 

 

 

 

The guy had BOTH the most kills and the least deaths. Also, how demotivating it is for someone in the Warrant Officer ranks to meet someone with 34% protection against their turret?

 

Congratulations to rush8 as well for ranking and dropping 2 golds in that battle. Unfortunately, the Duplet got one. <_<

Sorry for asking, but what is a Duplet user ?

A Hammer player with the 'Duplet' alteration equipped.

Well after they made the sandbox map bigger, yeah. But Berlin is too big, so I don't know what will change there other than being shrunk down.

Awesome MM.

 

[Gimi_RO 2]

How can you say that a game is fair when you force me to play with higher ranked players than me?
It seems that the game is done by the Russians; because I know their nation well.
How can you force me to play against Legend 24 when I have no protection or upgrades? You guys who did the game are not healthy at the head.

[Pyre 3,485]

MMS often isnt fair. I regularly find myself playing against Gissimos like yourself; I think you will discover that sometimes it is unfair in your favor. Also, you should be able to compete with legends at your rank. I see you have several turrets and paints. I think you would have done better if you had chosen 1 combo and stuck with it, buying MUs and protection to go with it. Oh, and

Finally, please refrain from writing in such large text with excessive coloring.

If you have the ability to play with ranks lower than you, why should you not have the ability to play with ranks higher than you?

 

That seems rather selfish to me.

Its the name of the game bud. Maybe you should have spent your crys more wisely.

[lssimo 1,559]

The poster has basically a combo plus one turret which is good these days, it't not like poster didn't manage crystals wisely. Supplies usage is also below average in my opinion to say that poster spent crystals in supplies.

 

But poster only has one module, which is not good. Maybe poster plays a lot and didn't prioritize doing Missions, or was a casual player before when others were doing mission chains.

 

I don't have a high rank, but I would suggest poster to play a little less while focusing on doing missions, you can do 10 missions a week then wait for reset to go for the 20/20 of weekly missions, save for MUing Hull and Turret to 15, buy Trooper Drone to survive a few more seconds after spawns, and save for modules. I said play less doing 10 missions a week because you need to save batteries for you drone. Buy and MU during specials, and if you want to play more you could have a second account if you don't have one already.

 

The main concern is valid though, M4s shouldn't be always playing M3s, maybe the Legend rank could be broken up.

Not only people up there have better equipment, but that is where all the exploits starts.

[u812ic 1,629]

Someone suggested there be Legend battles. I'm prone to agree. The Legend rank limit is limitless ( as I understand). There's enough Legends, they don't need us as cannon fodder. They would be on more equal grounds. Even lower rank Legends have complained that they have  hard time with higher ranked Legends. So, let that be a separate battle arena. 

[splitterpoint 10,986]

I insantly check the teams when a battle starts so I can view the amount of non-legends in my team. The more there are, the weaker the team.. it's just the way it is. Therefore I heavily judge people by their rank.

 

I am maxed out but near Legends are not while there's just one rank between us. This is rigged and should indeed be fixed.

 

But I also fear that the shorter the rank brackets, the more search time you end up with in MM. These new game modes all take up time.. I don't like to play anything else than CP and CTF. But this is subjective.. so I think we'll have to deal with it for now and blame the decreasing player base and extra game modes.

 

I'll admit that I don't mind this at all. It's super easy with M4's and protections. It'll pay out if you pull through. Been there myself as warrant officer ranks in 2012.. facing Marshals on full drugs without cooldown. I was desperately searching for crystal boxes. No containers, no missions but pure fund. Pull through and it'll pay off.

[iMoneyMaker 4,500]

What's the difference lol? You're just 1 rank from Legend. Besides that anyone who is Generalissimo is basically a Legend.

[Hancho 3,902]

I'm confused - How can a generalissimo complain about facing Legend rank in battles? People are blinded by the rank yet sometimes they can discover bigger unexperienced players at Legend ranks who may have 3000-4000 GS. It's surely not about the rank itself, it is about the player with its equipment and how maxed it is. I can play a battle and face generalissimo fully maxed out with 9999 GS. You have to invest into this game a little bit otherwise you complain for the last decade. 

[Nicola_M 1,563]

The main concern is valid though, M4s shouldn't be always playing M3s, maybe the Legend rank could be broken up.

That's half his problem right there - one single pathetic Freeze module.  So he's a sitting duck to every other turret.

He's earned more crystals than me, which begs the question: What the hell has he been spending them on?

 

M4s playing M3s isnt a Legend problem, half the battles I get are M3s and I'm M4.

But even if he quit every battle with Legends until he got ones with M3s, with that combo he's a sitting duck and he's still going to arrive at Legend rank as a sitting duck without more modules, preferably better ones.

 

Not sure what I'd do if I was in that situation, probably an alt acc and start over, as modules are 200K +.

I hated MM and walked away when it arrived in May.

Came back in December and realise now I was wrong to hate MM so much.  I like it, I like the not knowing what map you're going to be on until the battle starts.

There is just enough time to go into garage and change hull/turret/module for the battle.

 

The one downside is we do have favourite maps and it was nice to stay on the same map for different battles.

But overall MM's not as bad as I thought it would be.

How?   You don't know map until you are in the battle...

 

Only one ?    :huh:  :D  :lol:

Once the battle starts it's usually 7 minutes, plenty of time to get into garage and change your turret/module.

You might miss 30 seconds of the game, I'd rather lose that time than spend all of the battle with the wrong gear.

ok - thought you meant there was time to change equipment before the battle starts...

Not everyone can load into their garage before 2 minutes are up. It's better to have the right equipment right away than to lose even 30 seconds.

 

We should at least know what map we're being sent to so that we can have that result.
