BB matchmaking is really good.

I got at least two yesterday (that I remember). It's so frustrating.

It seems like it should be such an easy thing for the game to detect too. If a player hasn't moved for the first minute of the game, then there is obviously a problem.

Once a problem has been detected, there are about a million things that Rovio could do to, at least, minimise the damage.

 

This is toooo Funny............

Observing that I have 3 useless players (being very polite here...) in my squad I got myself killed as soon as I could. But the other good player in my squad did the exact same thing on the other side of the map.........LOLOLOLOLO.........We left the dumb...sry...useless players to fend for themselves..........NICE !!!!!!!!

 

It is amazing how many people want to get to nightmare league after about 1000 battles. It's amazing how people not seeing their own faults when they lost the battle. It's amazing how people never admit the other team was better after a battle. They might have better loadouts for the maps or loadouts that complementing each other better. It's amazing how it's always my teammates were dumb.

I can say this that in most battles, your teammates were trying as hard as you were. There will be walls that stalls your progress. You can only advance to certain point and then you meet people with more skill, better ships, and stronger loadouts. By then, they probably complain why they're having those guys as teammates. You have to realize that if you're going farther than your ship or loadouts, you're likely being carried by your previous teammates.

There were many battles I carried the teams and many more battles, the teams bailed me out big time. There were nights when my plays were so bad but I still got plus infamy after about 30 battles or so. (Most of you probably know about the big torps or mines appear out of nowhere kind of night.) The bottom line is learn why you lose and get better from that. Learn how to better play with teammates. You have 4 of them in a battle after all.

 

At no point did I ever mention that I ever wanted to go to nightmare league and I don't give a crap about progress. The losing games I am ONLY referring to are BLOWOUTS I.e 0-5 or 1-5. Loosing by Blowouts once in a while is ok, but to loose many consecutive games by Blowout is a SERIOUS PROBLEM with the Game Matching Algorithm !!!!!!!! Some games are lost by poor skills of players other reason, but many Consecutive Blowouts are Because of Outrageously STACKED TEAMS by a POORLY DESIGNED Game Matching Algorithm. There is a survey in this forum where members can vote on whether the game matching algorithm should be revised and the last time I checked 75% said YES !!!!!!!!!! Again another indicator of a POORLY DESIGNED GAME MATCHING ALGORITHM. Furthermore I rather loose a 1000 games in a row with a team that works together than play 1 game that is Rigged. And because games are rigged a larger percentage of wins are based upon stacked teams instead of skill.

For now the Devs are ignoring the player base, but there will be a day when a better game will come along. At such time there will be a mass exodus from this game and BB will never get them back.

 

Here is another example of how fkd up the infamy match making algorithm is.......

My infamy is at 3K and I am using my MK3 boats with no Perks and Level 1 weapons, defences, and speed. I am matched up against MK5s and MK6s with Legenday weapons. 1 shot and I am killed. Who ever designed this up definitely didn't do a good job.

It is especially funny when I use my MK3 Fixer and I only do 68 healing in the game.....lol.....Nice surprise for my squad. GOOD DESIGN GUYS !!!!!!!

 

imo a good matchmaking system could be averageing not+hp+dps+healing potential+boat modifier (seen the current meta)

 

I really hope you're just kidding now...

 

You guys have to keep in mind that matchmaking is only designed for the 50% win/loss outcome, not for competitive matches. Skill is secondary once you realize most matches end up with one side decimating the other far more often than than edge-of-your-seat 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 battles at the end.

 

No I was Not kidding....... I just wanted to show more evidence of a Poor Game Matching Algorithm. But then I tried to win with my best of everything and my infamy dropped 700 because of bad players and poorly balanced teams. Now this morning the loosing continued so Now I am using the weakest of everything and my infamy dropped another 200.

Observations: a) I am still kicking the ass of 1 or 2 players in my squad in most games, and
b) there are a hell of a lot of MK5s and MK6s between 1900-2600 infamy which means there are a lot of players Sinking their Infamy!!!!!!......(but I am sure some just plain suck)

The Good Thing I got from this is "NO MORE ADS".....SWEET !!!!!! NO NEED TO PAY FOR VIP TO GET RID OF ADS!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, Matchmaking is designed for the 50% win/loss outcome which by Definition is a "RIGGED GAME!!!!!!!!!!" This means skill level has some effect on outcome but eventually no amount of skill will help you against outrageously unevenly matched teams. This will leave a lot of players frustrated and the continued behaviour of sinking one's infamy........Definitely someone didn't think this through!!!

 

I don't mind loosing 50% of the time......what I hate is multiple, consecutive blowouts........

 

imo ace league needs to be rescaled...
in my ace 1 league 3800ish infamy its 50thish place
i mean the range is 3000 to 4000, it's just not right that 3800 it's 50th place
I guess i should just start to drop infamy like everyone does... at the end there are mk6 at 2k, it's just a waste of nerves to keep my mk5 at 3800ish, have to deal with Top50 global players, maybe even win sometimes, but for fucking what? an epic piece? fuck that

 

The matchmaking based on infamy is good, it's the way infamy is being rewarded that is the issue.
It's designed to keep people at 50% because it's "fun" instead of hitting walls, having good people accelerate faster and bad people consecutively lose.
They should award infamy by individual performance, exactly as they do stars. So good people aren't held back by people not playing intelligently and people who contribute least aren't being propped up higher than they should.
Yes I'm aware fixers heal contribution needs to be adjusted.

 

Honestly I don't mind playing battles like these. I would love to play with higher infamy players. I have seen videos of nightmare league and the battles are intense. If I get the chance might pick a few tricks or learn a better game play strategy. The matchmaking was way off but who cares about that? Maybe it's cos you were fleeting or maybe it's just cos rovio is lazy and won't call this a problem, no offense. Cmon get me some battles like these. I will give up all my infamy and start over no problem. I'm really bored playing with teams that are Superman and suicide squad combined.

 

How is OP's match bad? I can't see the problem. The only thing that is off at all is the ship tiers (as only one side has an mk7), but those don't say a thing about the outcome anyway, and even if they did, there's only a difference of 1 here.

I like the Ace I matchups with more powerful players. The matches are as fair as they can be, I can tell you. Every match can be won, as long as you're not scared of the mk7 or start whining before the match even starts. Play it like any other match, give it your best effort and you'll be fine.

@ everything KILGOR said:

 

i can even stand current A1 matchups, but man ace 1 @ 3800 not its 40th to 50th place, which means you have the hardest of the times of everyone playing this fucking game for a laughable reward (1 epic piece lmfao)
ACE tier needs to be rescaled.
