First, just to be clear, I don't want free rewards, that's not the point I'm trying to make.
Second, I rarely get that many pionts for a loss. Yes, I've gotten the occasional 30 - 35 points for a loss, but honestly, that is more rare than winning in HS. And really, that's my point. more often than not, I get 10 or less points in a loss (WAY more often than not). I'm working my tail off in those matches. Yes, sometimes I do boneheaded moves and really cost my team (sorry to anyone who has been my teammate when that happens), but I'm always trying to get the win. If even 20-30 points in a loss was the norm (before any multipliers), I wouldn't have a single complaint.
Three wins and a loss with points will usually get me to my goal for the day. Normally getting the wins takes 6-8 tickets (and if its taking that many, there's normally only 2 wins in my day). That's a really crappy win rate. We are supposed to be happy with a less than 33% win rate every day and still be expected to like it?
I've complained about the match making for years (over 3 in fact), with tons of suggestions on how to improve it, fix it, etc. Now I'm trying to come up with something that will keep me wanting to play the game, even with bad match making (going up against opponents with squad power 4K+ over my own is not fair at all).
I will gladly give MA the kudos it deserves for improving the rewards in the last couple of months. As a free to play player, its huge! Over the last 3 years, I've lived with ever shrinking amounts of realistic A-Coin opportunities - so I'm loving what they've done to improve it (exception for the tweeked tournament, but that's another thread).
If I'm expected to go against pay to win players and bots who have high end weapons (while mine have - - - stasis beam) and lose more than 50% of my matches, I don't want to be losing and getting next to no points for it. I'm not talking about the specific rewards, its the points awarded for loses that I'm complaining about.
I don't want to fight hard in match 1 and lose 3-1 (getting 11 points), fight hard in match 2 and lose 3-0 (getting 2 points) and get steam rolled in match 3 (getting 0 points). That's 13 points x3 is 39 total for 3 matches in tier 2. Yes, that was todays first 3 matches and yes, it happens a lot. I want a reason to keep pounding my head against the wall and playing what is, in fact, a good game.
