Batter Match making

4 fixers and a speeder on my team and no one is fleeted how is matchmaking not rigged?

 

This one was pretty dumb too. 3 fixers on one side none on the other. Instead they got 4 shooters. With amped up dmg now, I don’t care how good the fixers are, this was only going to end one way.

 

Strange - 2 battles later I get the same thing basically. Did something change with matchmaking that is causing weird fixer heavy teams?

 

I had a 5 shooter vs 3 Fixer match yesterday as well. My Shooter team was fairly inept though, before I knew it they were all dead but I didn't watch the replay to see what happened to them, though I suspect they were all idiots and ran into piles of mines thinking they were still playing TDM.

I agree, the matchmaking algorithms need to first and foremost balance ships side to side... seems that may have been overrides by some other mysterious balancing

 

I had quite a few games with 2-3 fixers on one team and none on the other; if the shooters are competent (about 25% of all the reds cruising around) it's easy to kill the fixer team, but if they sit back and think they don't need to take risks thry lost before even starting to fire

 

I did that for a short period of time. My conclusion as a fixer however, was to get better at ID'ing idiots in your team fast because nothing can "stop" stupidity. Idiots won't listen to you and rush into an obvious minefield in a tunnel laid by unfriends 10s ago in front of his/her face even if you spam "negative, follow me" and drop a repair box on the other way.

Back to the topic, I got one match with 4 fixers+ shooter vs no-fixer unfriends yesterday and it was my 2nd time getting this for 2 years so I suppose it was a recent update that messed up the matchmaking. Not that previous matchmaking was anywhere close to satisfying though.
