Mech Arena is a great game, but it has a serious problem with matchmaking that affects the overall experience. Players often get matched with opponents who are way stronger or have much better hangars. This makes it hard to win and can make the game frustrating, especially for those who are just starting out. Even a small change to your hangar setup can completely change the matchmaking and put you in unfair situations. This shouldn’t be happening and is one of the biggest issues in the game right now.

The developers at Plarium seem to focus more on adding new mechs, weapons, and events instead of fixing matchmaking. While this makes sense because creating these new items helps bring in money, fixing the matchmaking system also costs a lot. To fund these changes, they need revenue, and the quickest way to get it is by releasing new items that players want to buy. But this approach leaves out a lot of players who don’t or can’t spend money on the game. Some are kids who have spending restrictions, some are on tight budgets, and others just don’t feel it’s worth spending money on games when they have other priorities.

For the game to feel fair, Plarium needs to add more free content. They already have ads, events, challenges, and login bonuses, but they need to significantly increase these opportunities. Players should have more chances to earn premium items and currency without paying. More events need to be made personal, where you don’t have to compete with others to succeed. If there are competitive events, they should be designed so players don’t feel forced to grind endlessly, day and night, just to keep up. Not everyone can spend 24 hours a day grinding for three weeks straight, and it’s unfair to those who need to sleep, work, or have other responsibilities.

By fixing matchmaking and creating better ways for free players to access content, the game can become more enjoyable for everyone. It’s a balance that Plarium needs to find, but it’s possible and would make the game much better. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree that these changes are needed?
