This is the first time I have ever had more Gear Score than any of my teammates in a Matchmaking battle:

 

As you can see, MM is unbalanced cause a Legend 5 like me is put against all these pre-Legend players.

I think it's a normal thing, all the ranks are near each others and all of them have the access of Mk7 equipment (Marshal and higher).

But the not appropriate thing when they put a much lower ranks than Brigadier... And they see it's balanced as the teams are balanced. Which is a pretty disgusting, and I don't see what makes the low-rank player care that his team won or lose if he haven't even get a chance to play and fight in the battle.

If you're serious, how it possible for such a bug to happen. 

Don't ask me. I know nothing of coding/programming.

I agree with all these points.


The good news is, by the time you reach Legend 4 or 5, it will get.....a bit more easier to play, mainly because by that time, you can upgrade a few of your things a bit more.

My crystal count is the equivelant of a low raked player. Never going to be able to upgrade where it will make a difference.

This account is dead and buried by todays whacky, cartoon like tanks. Tanks that are able to virtually fly away with the flag at a stupid speed, is beyond my capabilities to compete with.

The game is no longer about tanks. It has lost it's way with all these funky add-ons ,that and many other fundamental changes have overtaken the basics of the game.

It is no longer playable and therefore, not enjoyable.

That many with GS of 9999 on one side can only mean one thing, a group. Better to leave early than late.

Looking at your profile, you have very done well to get to the legend level with a super K/D of 3 and an efficiency value of 90300. However, with the current tanki, you will fare poorly given the low crystal count and garage. If you don't mind being mediocre (drop in K/D and efficiency), you can still grind it out like most f2p. It will take time to build up your GS by finishing daily MM. Otherwise, you will have to spend some $. Good luck.

9999 GS:

• Firebird
  • High Pressure Pump Augment
• Wasp
  • Heat Resistance
• Camper Drone
• Railgun Protection Module
• Vulcan Protection Module
• Twins Protection Module

 

Spoiler

In case you didn't get the joke, I gave a 9999 GS with some of the worst equipment in the game XD.

*High Pressure Pump isn't bad, but it was the only way to get 9999 GS without being too OP.

*Camper Drone is arguably worse than Brutus. I never actually saw it do much on the test server.
*Railgun Module only works half the time now.
*Twins and Vulcan Modules have little effect cause Twins and Vulcan have too fast of a firing rate.

Why is a drop in KD considered "mediocre"?   How is KD a measuring stick?

It can be used as a measuring stick....but it's arguably pretty inaccurate sometimes.....

• 0.00 - 0.50 K/D: You are a parkour-only person, an healing-Isida only player, your favorite turret is Magnum even though you never manage to master it, you deliberately try to not get kills, you unqisely spend your crystals and are left with underleveled equipment, or you're just a total noob at the game.
• 0.51 - 1.00 K/D: You like using "melee" turrets, you're decent at the game, or you would've been a good player with a higher K/D had there not been so many buyers killing you.
• 1.01 - 1.50 K/D: You are a relative pro or a decent sniper. You could also just be a decent player at the game, but you got somewhat lucky with the Matchmaking system and either got easy targets or you don't fight against too many buyers.
• 1.51 - 3.00 K/D: You are a pro player who only uses one combo and maxes it out way before the next modification unlocks, you are a heavy buyer, or you're a skilled sniper. Either that, or you're just simply really pro and good at keeping yourself alive.
• 3.01 and Above: You abuse the "Leave Battle" button and leave the battle before someone manages to kill you. Either that, or you're just a really skilled and lucky sniper (emphasis on Gauss). Or you're the ultimate buyer and is basically immortal in battle.

Like I said, it's pretty inaccurate, but those are my best guesses at which level of K/D can infer about the player.

Camper Drone only works if you are at full health. Also, it does work... well when it is maxed.

I just use Hyperion.

I used to have 90900 Efficiency, but because the devs don't care about the ratings page. It hasn't updated with the new amount of experience we are earning in Battles. The formula hasn't been updated and my Efficiency keeps going down because of excessive MM play.

Faring poorly would be a substantial step forward. I will collect these free containers for now, although i reckon i will need about 500 to have a chance of getting anything credible that will make it easier to compete at my rank.

Think he means a drop in KD/RATINGS would be mediocre, compared to what i have now.

I know, at max, it allows you to use supplies after a 5 second cooldown when the previous supply wears off.

That being said, I never survive long enough in order to actually utilize that. Boosters and Blasters and Gausses always snipe me off.

Hyperion is simply a better Trooper and Camper but more buyer-friendly XD.

Or how about... it mainly shows HOW you play the game.

Campers will have a higher KD just because they rarely go into the danger zones.

On the opposite end - players trying to cap will certainly have a lower KD as they are in danger zones way more often and are also more important targets.

KD should only ever be used as a measuring stick for DM, TDM and possibly JUG - though only JUG deaths are impactful.

ASL Berlin converted from a hell place for the Attacking team, to a stupid place for the Attacking bots to exploit it by slaughtering the Defending team.

I know I made it complicated.. But I mean there is definitely no win for the Attacking team in this map ever. But many players in the attacking team who cares only about the kills, have a great grace to have many kills from many spots.
