Matchmaker takes a dump… why?

During  a  60m  tournament session  this  will  happen  at  least  twice.    Matchmaker  decides  to  complete  a  total  mismatch.


This  happens  normally  after  a  string  of  strong  wins  which  makes  you  want  to  put  on  the  tin  foil  hat  and  call  shenanigans  on  the  matchmaking  algorithm 🤔.    


My  stat  page  vs  his...  this  one  match  set  me  back  far  enough  that  i  lost  my  hold  on  3rd  place  in  GMasters  and  couldnt  gain  those  Points  back....

The player appears to have spent a rather large amount of money for only being at 46,987 XP.  Upon looking at this hanger most of the mechs and items were purchased as they are not yet unlocked at that rank.

Whether or not the matchmaking was wrong really depends upon the Squad Power of the other 8 players and how team SP compares vs individual SP.

Yeah...  the  problem  here  is  that  we  were  the  only  two  humans  in  the  games.    So  that  essentially  comes  down  to  a  clear  advantage  for  him  with  a  much  more  powerful  hangar.    Balancing  out  the  SP  by  giving  my  AI  more  pwerful  hangars  is  not  effective.    The  AI  is  pretty  poor  at  playing  tactically  😉  as  they  generally  just  make  themselves  easy  kills  for  a  human.


I  think  that  is  a  key  point  that  needs  to  be  factored  into  matchmaker .
