    Boy, when the devs said that you should win half, they weren't kidding. Screenshot_2017-07-27-13-58-44.png

    Just look at any thread that the devs replied to about unfair matchmaking.

    When you are fairly matched it's only logical that on average you win half of the time. If you would be winning more you would be clearly matched against weaker opponents, and wise versa. You are not winning half of the time because the matchmaker says so. You are winning half of the time as a side product of been matched into fair battles.

    This was just a surprising pattern I found. Of course I'm not implying that the match maker does this on purpose, but just an interesting occurrence. Also, there will be variance of losing or winning more, but I know it'll balance in the end.

    I wonder if ties help us gain infamy

    When we tie we lose almost nothing but it counts as a battle. We are supposed to lose half our battles. If we played 1000 games and we won 500 and lost 500 we would win 0 infamy. But if we played 1000 games. Tied 100 lost 400 and won 500 we would win 2400 infamy.

    Just something that gets me thinking. Not sure if this is accurate at all

    The matchmaking is fair, sometimes we get matched against higher mk ships, but that's usually cause they are ill skilled or in a losing streak.
