New Match making system

How does the current match making system works???

 

Well, I might be wrong but I don't think thats how it happens. I've mk4 shooter and I'm getting matched with all mk5s. This new matchmaking system has made it worse for me.

 

Yeah..I think u r right, I'm Mk 4 with 1400+ infamy. I've never paid a dime on this game so I've pretty inferior setup, now I'm getting matched with guys with mk5s and tier 4 rares and epics..no way I can survive this.

 

Yeah..wtf rovio, so in a nutshell there is no way for me to have fun in this game ever again unless I spend money and get epics and $hit...bruh, I'm still using uncommon tier 3 mortars, it's no fun when I see myself against epic tier 3 explosive cannon. And there is no way for me to get easier opponents even if I lose infamy

 

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

Actually now it's based on both infamy and ship levels.
It used to be just infamy. I'm an mk5 at 4100 infamy and I still get matched up with mk6s most of the time.

 

Has it been good or bad for you, then??

 

Not much difference felt tbh. I think this update was directed to the lower tiers (500~1000 infamy) where it used to be complete chaos (mk1s~mk5s all mixed together)

 

Well good for u then, since you were in 4100+, I guess u were already rocking pretty decent weapons loadout, but for me this has been devastating. I'm still using my tier 3 uncommon and somehow with a lot of carefully playing managed to get to 1500+, my best is 2100+ even. But now I'm stuck here with my $hitty weapons among the club of epics. Im used to getting hard opponents but nothing like this now almost everyone seems to be having mk5s and epics.

 

Im still using uncommon while on 2400 and even now, just grind more to get gold and pray for better weapon drop.

 

I have all rare 40~50s. I know how you feel, everyone up here has atleast an epic 40 lol.

 

Same. I haven’t noticed any difference, but then I’m quite squarely in mk5 territory.

@TheAntiSnipe posted a video from his baby account (mk3), and he said he hasn’t been running into nearly as many mk4s since the update. When I was at mk3 I was constantly running into mk4s and mk5s, sometimes with mk2s also in the game. So I think that you’re right, it’s probably more focused (or at least noticeable with the smaller ships). Though it might also prevent the odd high ranked mk4 from running into mk6/7s, at medium infamy.

 

As a new player this has made a big difference for me. At mk2 (600 infamy) I am no longer seeing mk5 opponents. Typically, mk3 is the highest I now see. It has greatly increased my playing enjoyment.

 

This has been my experience too, but I'm Mk3 consistently being paired against Mk4s which is fine and the occasional Mk5. I don't feel grossly under-powered against Mk4s as a Mk3 Defender with good gear.

 

They didn't change it. It was just to distract players from seeing the true priority of the update. Money

 

Really put a smile to my face to see problems being fixed for the newer players. We need new blood for this game to keep striving forward. Glad that the devs acknowledged this before it was too late.
