    Obviously this is something that everybody has experienced but maybe voicing it will get them to start changing something
    it's terrible how I am a lead infamy for 6/7 matches on my team and
    In addition to that how can 4/5 players on a team except for their last player be higher in infamy the whole other team !?! (Game balance much??)
    Is doesn't balance out!!
    Neither does having five f*cking healers in a game, it causes people to lose their minds and go Rambo because, "hey, we got two/three healers so there shouldn't be an issue"

    1) FIX THE MATCHMAKING (balance it better, I shouldn't be playing with a team of green and I'm the only blue while there are four other blue members on the other team with a good 100-250 infamy spread ( it doesn't seem like much until they are all on one team)
    (Perhaps if you remain inactive for match(es) you get a light timeout ban getting progressively worse until you're banned from the game)

    2) make tutorial on how to play the game IN GAME and make it to where it's devastating unless they stay together and work as a team
    3)fix the match ended screen so we can at least add friends with good players

    Please feel free to add suggestions but keep them in the realm of possibilities for the computer monkeys over at Rovio

    Could you post some screenshots of this broken algorithm?

    The one thing the matchmaking system does well (in my experience) is to make sure both teams have fairly equal total infamy - That's the one thing its designed to do, perhaps with the caveact that it widens the acceptable difference as queue time increases.

    Heck even the early issues of what happens when two top 10 players Fleet Up seems to been much better now.
    ----
    Happy to criticize the devs for plenty of design choices -- The constant stream of infamy & matchmaking complains I'm not following.

    I will start taking more pictures of the lineup screen when it comes up but just because the infamy is balanced doesn't mean that the teams and gameplay are balanced I have gone through so many games where it's been 5-0 5-. 2v2 and 1v1 are very very very rare

    Sorry but 100-200 more infamy on ships fpr other team is really nothing. And you shouldn't be intimidated. Ive had plenty of matches where my entire team were mk4s and other team had 3 mk5 shooters. Or entire unfriend team were mk5 against our mk4s. And the lower mk team has won plenty of times.

    What's wrong is the new update coming does not fix matchmaking. So obviously our million posts are not working. So let's make a million more.

    gosh...rovio should really balance out the game by taking into account both infamy and ship levels on both teams. see my screen...3 mk4s on unfriend team?!? couldn't a mk4 be on friend team instead?
