Match ups may cause me to leave battle bay!

i would never have upgraded my ships if i knew the match ups would change this bad! I was never over 1700 infamy i just kept upgrading till now! game is no fun i am paired with level 2500-3000 my weapons make no damage i scored over 4000 in points and was only one who didnt get a star. My infamy is now down to 600 ty ravio for destroying match ups i have only won 1-2 match ups today! Not only bad for me but for those i am matched with! This really sucks! I want my money back u ruined this game and i will not spend another dime! This is why one shouldnt spend a dime on the game one flip of the switch can ruin it!

 

I almost lost 300 infamy. New match making is not good

 

I love how people always search for external reasons for their failures. Matchmaking didnt change drastically in the last patch.

Focus on the 1 thing you can improve, i.e. your own performance.

 

It did for mk6 defenders below 600 infamy .Watch this thread for full coverage of story

All people will not blame at once .vthere is a problem and that's why players are complaining. You are the one who got rise in infamy after update. Many players also lost lot of infamy after update.

 

Matchmaking doesn't rly affect one's infamy bc it favors you just as much as it hurts you, but it def did get a lil worse imo

 

Ooh. Nice blast cannon.

 

Match making doesn't affect infamy?? Seriously ? Think once more . It makes you swings from 4 victory to 4 defeats . I am swinging like monkey from 1000-1200

 

Not even my account lol

 

Bad match making just makes the game worse, not affect your infamy all that much. All the times it screws you over are balanced with the times it screws the enemy team over. Basically we are all just getting screwed over

 

Okay. That's what I thourght at first because, why would you even change your name. But then I didn't want to assume.

 

I hope they are taking all users feedback

 

Agreed, its a constant 5-10 win/loss in a row. It sucks because, every time I am doing really well, I suddenly start getting back-to-back matches with floaters and 2500 rated infamy players dyeing after 150 hit points. I understand the idea of finding a balance to keep people interested in the game, however, if this is a game just for a playing experience then fine. But if it's a fun game with the goal of winning based on skill, it truly sucks to have the system stack the odds against you in the pursuit of "fairness". I don't want "participation trophy's" I want a true test of skills with no "computer nanny" intervention.

Idea: allow for free-for-all matches and 5-person team matches. And, rate individual players on their individual performance in a game and add "team winning" as some form of bonus. I think that this would satisfy the newcomers as well as the experienced players.

 

You know what F-it, bad one bad match after another (I am noticing the Fixer trend). From this point on, anyone who has a problem with the matchmaking, I am going to put out my Median effort and then have fun when I drop to a nice low infamy level, whatever the "fairness nanny" takes me to. I guess if enough people did that, they would have to make a change.

I love how people blame players when matchmaking did change in v2.6:

• Updated matchmaking algorithm for more balanced teams in terms of ships

 

Did you even read what you quoted?
Hint: 'Drastically' is the word you for some reason decided to ignore

 

Did you, by any chance, buy a really big ship (mk6+)? And now you’re getting matched against expert mk5s who’ve played 10,000 games?

Perhaps you could take a screen capture of your boat and your inventory, we might be able to help you tweak your setup to be more effective.

 

I shared a link,Go there.She is a mk6 at 600 infamy.So according to new algorithm matched with 2000+ infamy players,which should be the least inteneded infamy for mk6

The matchmaking did hit drastically for those who actually needed it.
Mk6s below 1k infamy
Mk7s below 2k infmay
There has alread been 2 complains including the following player about it.BUT this really improved experience of new players who were bullied by these boats.

As for us,its loopsided,but definitely not drastic.Some players have been on loosing streak,while some mk5 shooter like evil chicken(All rare) gained 500 infamy just after update to Reach 4.5k

 

I am swinging like monkey from 1000-1200 infamy range , i just upgraded to mk5 enforcer before update & got screwed. Now i am using my favorite mk4 speeder. I hope they improve match making .
