Team Members With 1300 Less Infamy Than Me

How does someone with an infamy level of 2650 end up with team members infamy lower than1300. I should not have team members with half my infamy. This makes me want to delete the game entirely. I try my best to be competitive and reach my league goals, yet Rovio works against me by sticking me with players who obviously don't care about infamy or league rankings. Please fix this......

I think it just glitches sometimes. I have seen a friend put with someone 5000+ infamy and his 3000 infamy. I guess it just happens? (I'll be watching to see if the devs have anything to say though)

 

He is fleeted with another player. When players are fleeted, they both count as having the infamy of the higher player for matchmaking.

The higher player I’m not sure. He might have been identified as an infamy tanker, and been matched back at his highest infamy.

 

If you are 2600, you might normally be placed with players from 2000 to 3000 infamy, depending on who is playing at that time. So it is not unrealistic (or illegal) for you to be on the same team as someone with 2100 infamy fleeted with a guildmate who has 1300 infamy. To fleet you need to be no more than 800 infamy apart.

I hear your frustration but infamy is not an end-all determination of performance. I play with many guildmates who are 700-800 below me with the same level weapons and ships, but maybe had a bad luck streak or are still working on their skills. There are also high infamy players who got there on coat tails and are no real help to the team.

My bigger gripe is when I am fleeted with someone with my infamy, but is running a mk3 or 4 when they should be 5. At 1300 infamy they should have a mk5 and can take just as much damage as you can. Maybe you can dish more but don't count them out as a team player automatically.
