Why do the Unfriends have often 1 stronger ship?

Hello Everyone,

A few months ago I posted a thread very similar, I asked why there are always more mk5s on the other team. But still it happens 50%-60 of the time (both my accounts) that the Unfriends have 1 stronger ship.

It doesn't seem much 4x m5 + 1x Mk4 against 5x mk5s, but clearly it does. Because 80% of these battles we lose. We win a few, but most we lose.

From 10 battles I played yesterday and today 80 were in favour if the Unfriends.

Regards,
Flint

 

Same case here in Nightmare

 

Some people act like if I am seeing ghosts, but I am glad you shared your battles too, thanks!

 

Well everyone feels that all the battles in nightmare are properly matched and only those in the lower leagues face problem with match making. But, the thing is even here the match making is f***Ed up.

Hope they fix it soon or in the coming update

 

Check this thread out about fleeting: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads...attles-big-time-please-fix.19117/#post-135785

 

In the first pic both team had the same amount of MK

And in the second one your team had more MK

And in the third one you were fleeting , and we know that probably it will effect MK balancing , and also everyone in your team is MK7 apart from both of you , so maybe in that time and situation it couldn't be more balanced

And in the fourth one ,enemy had one more MK than your team ,but in the second one your team had more MK ,so in long term the MK is balanced


Apart from that sometimes the matchmaking is clearly unbalanced ,because i can be balanced by switching 1 ,2 players spot in both team , but maybe devs have reduced the amount of MK counted for matchmaking and increased infamy counting .

 

Probably becuase I never notice. A mk6 gets sunk as easily as an mk5, if not more so at my level.

 

A mk6 is harder to sink if your weapons do only between 200 and 500 damage and their weapons do 1600 to 2000 crit. So, that will kill me in one single shot.

With my mk2 account I have to hit a mk5 Defender with 10.000 hp : 200 = 50 times full on. So, needless to say......that is impossible.

 

I said

 

It is weird that matchmaking is based partly on the total sum of mk's one side has.

Friends --------- Unfriends
mk4 -------------- mk5
mk4 -------------- mk5
mk4 -------------- mk5
mk4 -------------- mk5
mk4 -------------- mk1
Total
mk 20 ---------- mk 21

The mk5 are stronger, probably have stronger weapons and shields as well. So, despite a mk1 on their side, they are stronger than the Unfriends. I see these battles a lot like this, had 2 yesterday. And most of the time the team with the 4x mk5s and 1x mk1 win over an all mk4 team is my experience.

Lets do this maths with real sports, for example a football team of 5 players with their age.

Friends --------- Unfriends
30 yrs------------ 15 yrs
05 yrs------------ 15 yrs
05 yrs------------ 15 yrs
05 yrs------------ 13 yrs
05 yrs------------ 12 yrs
Total
60 yrs------------ 60 yrs

Average age
12 yrs------------ 12 yrs

Maybe a bit weird comparisson, but you can not use it to get a fair match just by looking at the total mk (or in this case total or average years of a team)

 

Victim mentality is a serious disease that prevents you from improving. Thank God it's not contagious!... Oh wait...

 

Look at my battles, I did more damage than the 4 mk5s combined in the first battle so I am no victim at all. Most battles I am 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. The ones I showed here are 1st and 2nd place. Show I did not let my team down.

And I am not complaining, just asking questions.

 

Ship mk was only introduced because the community wanted it. So if you want to blame someone, blame us, and start opposing gear score matchmaking

 

I do agree with matchmaking on the same level boats, but not like now a sum total which needs to be the same. Look at the example, it won't work that well. A mk1 should not be in a battle with all mk4 and mk5 period.

Gear Score is not being used in the matchmaking as far as I know. I would love to see a game where everybody has the same weapons and boats ( of course the choice of different types of boats would remain), because now a lot of it comes down to luck, luck which weapon you find or not. I have been waiting for an epic explosive cannon for 5 months to evolve to T2 While I get shot by T4 epic expl cannons.

 

First if a player uses mk1 when he probably has mk4 or mk5 then any match he playes will be unbalanced , he is a tanker probably



And in the second one , now why 5 years old players will play with 30 years old player ? It never happens in real life

Let's get back to BB ,now the current matchmaking will never put a mk1 with mk5 and mk4 unless he is a tanker and he wasn't tanking for a long time , or he is grinding quests ,


So you should blame players for being stupid .


And in low infamy it is a bit unbalanced , but that is also because of people stupidity , i have a mini account that willl be in master II next season and my main will be in nightmare next season ,so iam facing both kind of matchmaking

 

I agree, but I have a guild mate in a mk1, who is no tanker, has only played 80 battles with a mk1 and has reached a 1000 Infamy and is in battles with all mk5s. So, that is due to the matchmaking not for him being stupid or a tanker. I can ask for screenshots.

I come across mk6 with 0 Infamy in my battles, while everybody else has 1000-1200. Okay, he / she is a tanker, but why place a mk6 with more than a 1000 less Infamy in a battle with us? That is down to the matchmaking.

 

I am not complaining btw, I just notice something and I wonder if you have experienced the same and if it a team with 1 stronger boat is more likely to win. I believe it is, not always. But usually if you are evenly skilled, than the match will be won with the one who has a better boat or bigger weapons.

 

1k in 80 matches that so impressive , now he isn't bad player ,he is a very good player , but those mk5 at 1k infamy are noobs , i don't mean all of them , and also for him it is a very unique situation ,

And if you take a look at very old BB YT videos you will see that reaching nightmare with mk5 so common , there were mk4 at ace 1 league and even with low gear

And i want a screenshot to see his setup and gear score .

 

Here is prove of the last two battles:

Still you see Unfriends have the advantage of 1 bigger boat, 70% of my matches.
