Matchmaking is Definitely Bugged

The BIGGEST issue that has plagued Matching-making since the beginning has been the lack of equal infamy on each team.

Take MANY of these posts for example, there are countless teams made up of 4 equal infamy players, and 1 infamy beast.

Technically it's fair, because the total infamy is at least similar to the opposing team.

But let's just take a wild guess who will get 3 stars if anyone? Could it possibly be the person who had legions more infamy??

This IS NOT fair. It's completely unfair for those 3-4 players, because no matter what they do, they will never contribute as much as the other 1-2.

I know this has always been a problem for me since I've been past 3k infamy. I'm not sure about other infamy ranges though.

 

I guess I understand both sides. The main issue is that 5k+ players have weapons that will make minced meat of 3k players. There needs to be a league beyond nightmare.....for the 4500+ players only? Would that work?

 

That would unlikely fix anything. I agree that there needs to be another higher league, but it wouldn't change the fact that 3k infamy players are playing with 5k+ infamy players.

 

It will never be fixed. There are more nightmare players since moths ago, almost double, the problem is. The Pay 2 Win aspects are pulling the best Nightmare players farther ahead than most. Mid 5k to 6k pkayers, and guess who those players are and how they create lopsided matches.

 

So as we all obviously know, the system figured that adding the 1600 guy and his fleet, it would balance the match based off overall infamy and ship build. But as active playing devs you would assume they KNOW the gameplay mechanics. I'm guessing this was an unexpected impact from the latest changes/update and either will adjust or have adjusted it already.
I'm not seeing as many horribly bad matches as often as i was mid-season, but I am sure that they will return.
I sometimes wonder if half the player base is debuffed for a half season , then the other half debuffed for a half.
I also wonder if these matchups are set up to help deliver on the 50% win/loss ratio spoken of. The chance to win a horrible matchup is still there, as in, it could happen, uncommon to rare in occurrence, but it happens...
If you drop a top player or 2 in a match they should never be in, versus lower players you almost gaurantee "minus the chance" a certain win based off the numbers.

 

This seems to be a fair matchup... NOT.
I guess one could argue because I was fleeting but come on.

 

Yup! Here we go again! How does someone with health of 950 play with ones with 3000 guess who is left by themselves and then attacked mercilessly

 

Not gonna complain about anything but wanted to share this game that I had 2 weeks back. +10 infamy for a win and that tells how imbalance that match was. +/-18 infamy isn’t rare with the matchmaking nowadays but +10 infamy is the lowest I have ever seen.

 

well it shouldn't be based heavily on infamy anyways, that is just plain stupid. u can be a level 5-10 and have 400+ infamy BUT your ship and weapons are junk at that point. there is no reason that a level 10-19 should be playing with level 20-29's. there are more than enough players to battle with. battle bay, u need to fix this now. i'm tired of getting low level players on my team that cant provide the help we need. your infamy doesn't tell a complete story of the skills or dedication of the player. i get put on teams that lose a lot even tho i do my part, but my infamy says different. use your brains BB, this should have been balanced a long time ago. match players levels and ships entering battle along with infamy . . .

 

Really appreciate it - I will. Thank you!!!

 

matchmaking is fixed all thoese battles are 1 battle/100 normall battle
if you are losing infamy this mean your team (including you ) didnt play well or done something suicide and it didnt went well or just dont know how to play
rovio can not and shouldnt fix that

 

Yeah, the tier 2 legendary Tesla Shield gives it away.

 

OMG why am I getting matched up with players higher than me rovio pls fix this I should be match only with players lower than me :'(

 

For real though, matchmaking got worse and representatives of rovio are keeping their mouth shut about this lol

 

All y'all complaining about nightmare, but my mini be like:

 

I created a mini as well. The 3500+ range match making was getting absurd. Either team will get a top player, it's so lopsided.
