    ok this is getting way too old ... I’m sure we had a FAIR chance to WIN as some silly people will come out and say it ... yes sure ... why the F should a bunch of 3600/4000 players go against 2 5k+/ 3500 players with tier 5 legendary weapons !??? this is the most retarded Effing matchmaking in the entire damn history of all games ... don’t make games if you are incapable of maintaining a fair balance ... or you just give those heavy spenders an easy way to the top by smashing little players !!? ughhhhh
    I can send 10’s of screenshots of same mismatches , it’s 5 out of 10 matches ratio these days ...
    Rovio, if you want to force people to leave this game, now we get your message quite loud and clear ... so many good players left the game for this 5DB0F8BF-55C0-41C2-A2AD-DF79696179D7.png and you’re forcing the rest to do the same ...

    I am at roughly 3200 and experiencing the same thing. Faced a top 50 player yesterday. He went around picking us off one by one. Completely ignored all damage done to him. We didn't have a single player above 4000. He was at ~5400.

It’s either getting smashed in less than a minute or the other team gets taken out before you could even shoot at a target ... this is not fun anymore!!
    Also so many nightmare players are dropping infamy to around 2800-3300 to get easy kills .. this game has become a total mess as of recent. Nothing makes sense in this game anymore.

    I k
    I know right. There’s a reason those people are in higher infamy and we are at these infamies. The weapons, the crew training, the Personal skills and so many other reasons are there to make those people play in such higher amount of infamy and yet we have to constantly go against them because the retarded matchmaking says so ... heck there’s even a huge difference between a 3400 inf player and 3800 inf player as they most likely have t5 weapons and much more trained crew and the percentage advantage they get from that, let alone going against 5k inf players and t5 legendaries ...

    In this update they 'air quotes' IMPROVED 'air quotes' the algorithm. I was matched with two mk5 ships with 1800 infamy and 800 infamy in 2.5k infamy battle. At first I didn't notice and thought someone was fleeting up with 800 infamy but at the end of the battle, they were solo individuals. Although we were at same ship level, skill level and weapon level was vastly different. I feel sorry for those at 3k infamy range who get paired up against nightmare player and one player slaughters them all. This has become a serious issue and I am tired of matchmaking complaints every time I open forum and I can only imagine how irritated devs are. I can understand at some degree that it is 5 vs 5 and ten players at same infamy range are hard to find at some instances and some other player gets pitted in that battle but frequent occurrence is a major problem. I don't want to complain about matchmaking but I want this unfair matchmaking not to be as frequent as it is now.

    it's all about , - game can't force a people wait for game in queve so long ... balancer just take nearest users by rate in queve too , so it's just a small online in queve ... thats all....
    Imagine next case : u donate 10,000 $ in a game , - for example crew max lvl , buy tons of epics boxes and so on ... and u look like "banderas" , and play like him 1 shot - 1 kill , u got the highest rate in game and balancer system should wait for players "+-500 rate" ?? "+-1000" ??? how long u should stay in queve ? 10 min ? 30 min ? ... u donate so muck and can't kills ppl because u are boss ? = )

    You seem to have it more rough than me. If I drop down to below 3k infamy the matches are much more balanced. Once I hit 3100+ it seems to go haywire. I swing from 2800 to 3200 fairly frequently depending on what setup I run. Once I hit 3200 I don't have the gear to be effective so I am 100% reliant on my team to carry me. I just try to poke and prod and play bait till I drop back down.

    At the start of a rivalry I try to always be at 2800 or so in order to have the balanced matchups for guild quests. I don't win all the time but I don't go on nearly as many losing streaks. This helps get the quests done faster and helps keeps us in the lead or tied for the lead.

    I know dropping infamy on purpose is frowned on so what I do is run speeder, which I suck at, and then try to win with it. Every now and then I pull out a win, but lose often enough to steadily decline. Sucks that I have to manage infamy to get fair matches but I've learned how to do it so I don't get punished for straight dropping and the balanced games are much more entertaining.

    It is fun to play when our last guy has ~300 HP left against the opponent who also has ~300hp left. First one to get the shot off wins. Seen several times where both will hit with the last shot, both boats die and the hit that landed first wins the match. Can't get much tighter than that.

    It’s not complaining about something that is not important or not existing in the game. It’s pointing out the obvious everyday issue that we have to put up with anytime we want to play the game and simply asking for it to be fixed. I’m tired of seeing it’s never been fixed despite all these threads on the forum.

    I get a close match once in a long time and I watch the replay over and over as it’s so satisfying to go against the opponents almost as strong as you are or about almost the same inf as you have and let the skills win the battles not t5 legendary weapons while you have no better weapon but t4 epics. This is becoming something like Christmas wish, maybe Santa would grant our wishes this year .. oh well what a pagan like me would know anyway XD

    More like T4 rares my friend. Some people don't even have epics. Consider their situation too. It's like going on a first fight with Ali or Tyson and get dropped in one hit.

    Around my infamy, the majority of players have decent weapons, whether it’s T4 rare, Epic or T1 legendaries and they deal decent amount of damage so it’s not unfair to play at 3500 and expect people to have t4epocs as stronger weapons gets you further high up in the infamy lader. But the issue is that we are constantly going against nightmare players with over 4500 inf up to the YSL herself with 6000 inf ... it’s nonsense ... a player like myself can deal about decent amount of damage for my level and the league that I’m in (ace1) but I’m just an easy pray agains T5 legendary players and it’s so frustrating as this matches takes place 5 out of 10 as of recent.

    sans parler du fait que ce n'est pas logique qu'on ne peut pas flotter avec des joueurs qui ont un écart supérieur ou inférieur a 800 infamie mais qu'on tombe contre ou avec des joueurs qui ont un écart supérieur ou inférieur a 800 ...

    not to mention the fact that it's not logical that you can not float with players who have a gap of less than or equal to 800 infamy but that we fall against or with players who have a gap greater than or less than 800 ...

    Just to confirm, you are saying if dropping 800 infamy is classed as infamy tanking as the matches are too unbalanced, how can it be fair to fight players that are more than 800 infamy than you?

    I agree with most except for cases like Banderas.

    You can count the number of players like him with tier 5 legends on your two hands. Simply put they are the top 0.000001% of the playerbase. Less than 10 in the entire world. They spent tens of thousands of dollars. You can't complain about them. They REALLY paid to win. You can't blame them sheerly due to the collosal amount they spent. However in other cases where it's just average rich kids with tier 5 epics and low tier legendaries. That's unfair matchmaking for sure!
