    I never wanted gear score to be counted for MM , especially not too much like now ,but it happened , and the MM itself isnt bad but what make it bad is epic item's gear score ,

    Iam not sure 100% about those info below :
    A lvl 50 rare item with all perks has 1039 gear score ,

    And a lvl 50 epic item with all epic perks has 1376 gear score,
    Sp the difference between them is 337 gear score ,
    Epic perk=140 gear score
    Rare perk=100
    Uncoomon perk=60
    So the diffrence between an epic item and a rare item =2 epic perk and an uncommon perk -3,
    So this mean if we add 2 epic and 1 uncommon perk to a lvl 50 rare item it should deal as damage as a lvl 50 epic item, but it doesn't , ( again ,iam not 100% sure about if the will deal the samw damage or not ,but i have to post his thread, bcuz i wont have time for couple of weeks , so please understand if my data are wrong :) )
    For damage the difference between a rare one and an epic one is too much more than 3 perks , epic EXc deal +1.7k but a rare one deal 1.2k~1.4k =500~300 difference,
    And my rare carronade deal 145 damage with 1 rare perk and 1 un-unlocked talent=+5% so epic=+3 rare , 5%=~4 so it will be 152 lets say 155 ,
    But i have seen lvl 50 epic item showing 225 damage so 7×225-7×155=490 damage
    , and the same for other items....

    So what iam trying to say is epic item's gear score should be increased ,we can increase rare item's effect but that wont be good ,

    @Zeus @Miika @Pinecone any chance to increase epic item's gear score ,

    Why iam saying that ? Bcuz i use a lvl 50 epic and a lvl 10 legendary and a lvl 50 rare and all others are lvl 40 rare, but i face some all t4 epic items ,
    and players are complaining about it , i know sometimes there would be a higher gear score player in both team , but most of times i check the gear score and they have very near gear score too mine but with higher items power , so much higher .

    Match making isn’t done by gear score, it is rather done by “ship power”
    It takes into account talents unlocked, items, perks, and boat mk

    I think it only takes gear score into account. For example, I'm in 2200 infamy and i got matched up against a 4000 infamy enforcer. We have around the same gear score, but my team lost because of how gear score matchmaking works.

    Gear score does not take into account talents available. If you put common items on a mk6 along with one lv50 epic, then in the loading screen it states what is In The picture, gear score doesn’t take into account talents so it can’t be that. And in the patch notes it makes no mention of gear score

    in response to this
    ‘“Overall power level". Any clarification what this entails? Combination of infamy and gear score?”

    it only count gear score and ship MK ,
    i have seen NML(like me ,RNG.kenzer, mr.jazmilla...etc) players play with/against master league players because those NML players used mk5 ships ,
    so Macking epic item's gear score higher then those NML won't play too much against master players (skill and experience difference make it unfair ) because most NML players use all epic setup .

    what i meant is
    watch couple of your last deathmatches and you will see that all players have the same MK , and all have near gear score , but infamy are so different .

    It means that gear score considers an epic item 32,4% stronger than a rare one... Does anyone have the same items with the same perks on both rarities? It'd be easy to know how accurate it is ;)
