    seriously, ever since the update its just gotten worse. Really need to re-evaluate the algorithms and fix this, as per the screenshot ive posted you can see how it makes NO sense at all. One team has higher infamy every player and has extra mk7. This happens so often now and This is also the kind of thing that drives everyone nuts from 1k infamy to top of nightmare. Its either get super easy, and steam roll the win or get completey annihilated. Seems there is way less matches that are actually competitive and fun to play now.

    19,588 infamy // 4 mk6 - 1 mk7 (Team 1)

    22,012 infamy // 3 mk6 - 2 mk7 (team 2)

    Thats ridiculous spread for two teams (2,424 infamy difference and an extra mk7)

    And although it means nothing really, wondercoco and blue lotus were fleeted and nightingale and tpro were fleeted.

    They said they would give us an idea of how matchmaking worked a month ago but I guess they forgot about it.

    Well I think matchmaking is completely fine.
    "Nani?!" You say
    Because in Battle bay, the best part is, you win based on your skill and your strategy and weapons a little bit ...
    Infamy doesn't matter. What matters is how you and your team play together. And besides, no matchmaking system in the world is ever perfect.

    Most nightmare players use Mk6 ships and there's not much difference between mk6 and mk7.
    One team had 1 mk7 while other had 2 of them....which isn't that unusual to me.
    Being a Mk5, I often get same kind of matchmaking and still it looks balanced.
    But getting mk7 in a mk5 team should be called bad matchmaking.

    The fact that we are concerned about that is a good indication that infamy is broken. With infamy broken, matchmaking is a crap shoot.

    Higher mk boats should have weapon lvl requirements v.v

    No mk5 should be rocking lvl.5 weapon. I do it a lot myself. Especially when questing, but I lose most of those matches, and I think it's unfair to other more infamy focuses players when they get stuck with a hoard of questers.

    Sticking a weapon lvl. Requirement might help with this. Or I just might make quest boards darn near impossible to complete. Not really my problem. Just a thought :)

    No need to be rude. Let's be honest. Yes, the matches may be skewed often. But can you really say any matchmaking really works well? Or for that matter, that skill does not apply?

    Additionally, luck is also a huge part of Battle Bay. Sometimes, people with the lowest infamy, the weakest weapons can do the best out of all other players, without having played especially better than them.

    I am not going to argue something that's obvious. Luck is definitely involved, but it is not stacked in your favour and difference between rares and epics/leg well compensates for anyone who isn't skilled but deep pocketed.
    The matchmaking system is intentionally broken and the devs know this really well. If p2w players kept on getting matched with other similary decked p2w players to even out playground, then obviously, no would be paying for epic loot boxes since it no longer buys you the satisfaction of one or two shooting f2p peasants with your legendary "skills".

    There is absolutely no redeeming aspect anywhere in the game, essentially it is nothing but a giant pay to win casino with some boat shooting game on the side.

    The boat shooting game on the side is pretty cool though you have to admit. :)

    As for the rest I think they are just trying to cash in before the inevitable crackdown at this point. The game keeps going more casino not less casino. It doesn't instill a great amount of trust or respect as casino operators are pretty scummy people.

    I think something definitely fried MM in the last update. Try justifying the numbers on this.

    I have every confience that Rovio will look into this issue (if they haven’t already) and fix it as soon as possible.

    If I had to guess I;d blame it on those two fleeting together... I’m sure MM has some serious trouble finding a match for those two monsters when they are together

    To be honest you guys are judging matchmaking by adding up infamy... IMO infamy itself is broken. I've thought about it a lot and I think we'd all be better off if they tossed infamy and derived matchups based on boats and items equipped. It won't happen, but I'm convinced infamy is meaningless.

    And keep in mind the giant behind this casino is a game company famous for a franchise of games themed towards kids.
    Bottom line is, I genuinely hope store owners crack down on entire casino/p2w shenanigans because the state of google play store for example right now is pitiful and rovio might the scummiest but they are not the only one. Also, the moment someone creates a paid clone of that boat shooting game without this casino crap, I'll buy 10 copies.

    I don't see it quite that black & white. I think infamy more or less measures player skill. I think boat mark (HP and defense) as well as some sort of total gear score also ought to factor into any "fair" match making system.
