Pairing remains unfair

Can someone explain this?

 

U got MK6'd.

Also I find it somewhat annoying to learn that 'unfriends' is translated into Spanish as simply 'enemies'. I'm no great expert on the subject but surely there has to be something more clever than that- compadres / descompadres maybe?

 

I don't see any issue here. Hasn't matchmaking always been this way? God this feels normal now. I would be surprised if same mk boats wound up on both friends and unfriends around same infamy. I am just waiting for a 'MVP' to pop up on this thread and write:
"Duplicate thread. Please post your issue on blah blah thread. This thread is going to be closed now."
No offense.

 

Is this a duplicate thread? If so, delete the worst thread.

 

This seems pretty balanced to me. I expect my infamy to be paired with other players + or - 500 infamy. So you are at 2600 so expect 3100 frequently. Yes a 3300 got in there but that was probably the lowest available player at the time.

Aside from you dying early, the match was did not appear to be a blowout. Your healer got in 10k of heal in there. There can be a big disadvantage with fleeting when you pair with someone of much lower infamy, but you did not suffer that much from fleeting.

It will be hard to complain about mk6 since you are probably on the cusp of transition on the infamy leaderboard. So you are a top mk5 playing really bad mk6's.

 

Oh. The "good guys"

 

Thank you guys for your information is very helpful

 

Pretty sure OP is talking about the distribution of ship level. The other side got a bunch of MK6. And we thought they improved matchmaking in terms of ship level lol

 

@Kalbs agreed, but whenever you do hit that crossover point, I would expect it to be more mixed. I don't know where that point is exactly. Mk6 alone is not THAT much more powerful than an MK5, however what comes along with it is higher crew training, and usually higher tier weapons which do create an unbalance.

 

Really crap matching,Not only the mk but the HP diff in both teams is big too.

Enemy has mk6 defender and mk6 an enforcer to their shooter and mk5 speeder.When both have fixers,Higher HP is always an advantage.

@Elizabeth.A.G.P about the time you get used to it and figure out a Combo which is more productive in such.I saw the replay,You clearly failed to counter that carro speeder

 

Gotta disagree with you on that. MK6 is significantly powerful than MK5. Those additional item slot and HP is a game changer.

Anyway OP, you just have to deal with it like everyone else. We are not getting any response from Rovio so.

 

That's what I'm trying to say that there's a big difference between a mk5 and mk6

 

I don’t see a balanced match here.

First, you have higher MK ships in enemy side.
Second, most of the players of friend team has infamy 400 ~ 500 diference, enemy team has higher MK and it’s more infamous.we are talking of people more than 20 matches ahead, that’s a considered number.

BUT, In the other hand, friend team has two couples of fleet, and, guess what? - Bingo! - that ALWAYS happens. It happened to me tons of times. Team with 4 fleet members play versus an higher inf enemy team. I Think that the MM system think that that’s the price for a more arrenged team to pay to be playing so arranged. But most of the times, it’s unfair.

 

I would like some help in understanding the fairness of pairing in the 5V5. I am an MK2 with 3400 gear score and I am getting paired with MK5's and MK6's with 7200 gear score. Some of my enemies have as many as 11,000 HP while I have 1,500. If I kick butt and really hit on every shot, I can get up to like 10K damage and get 5 tickets if we win, but for the most part all I can get is 1-2 tickets as one shot kills me in these battle and everyone targets me since I am an easy kill. Beyond this being horribly unfair to my team who has a much lesser chance of winning just because I am such an easy kill, how is this fair to me. Even an evenly matched team leaves me an easy kill again and again while I have no upside again and again. This is the 4th or 5th event in a row where I have faced this same problem and it is very frustrating. If HP were accounted for and we were in the same ballpark, I feel like I could do something that matters or if we were all similar MK level it would be an even match, but 1500 against 11,000 just isn't a reasonable pairing no matter how you explain it. Can a developer please reach out to me and let me know where we are going to fix this. I only want a fair shot to compete, so I can qualify for perks and remain even with my competitors. (I am not even going to get into the guys I am facing with multiple legendary weapons in these match ups, but I am seeing a lot of that too).

 

If a person is placed into a pairing where they have a significant gear disadvantage, should that not play into a ticket count. Example - if a player with 3K gear score finishes third in a pairing where all opponents are 6K gear score, that person should get at least 6 tickets, even with a loss as they were at a huge disadvantage against their opponents and really played exceedingly well.

 

There certainly can be. In the 1v1 and 2v2 I'm not certain an MK5 ever sunk my MK6... HP difference was too much.

 

Necroposting?? This thread was based on infamy 7 months ago. We now have gear scores AND infamy. And matchmaking details are still not clear (at least to me) I have heard of Mk5s vs 6 but never an mk2 with 5. is your infamy really high? are you trying to use a lower mk boat to down your gear score? What is your captain skill?? Level up boats first, then weapons. Fact that you are doing 10k damage means you are resisting Mk leveling for some reason.
