The bad matchmaking is making it a terrible mode. I don't know why the devs can't get it through their thick skulls that anything they do is pointless until they address it. This mode will quickly die with even more players leaving due to the unbalanced matchmaking that exists in the game. Not to mention they removed two popular modes with the spenders...

I had the same thoughts about it countering SP cheaters but you need some decent energy capacity to perform alright still which means mostly high level players are still going to perform better but at least there's leagues based on mech stars to negate that.

I love it on paper but having it as another p2p game mode that also happens to require a-coins is just another frustration point. Players have been complaining for years about the p2p aspect of tournament mode and they're making yet another? Seriously?

My low end p2w account does very well and smashes, my f2p accounts stand no chance and get absolutely wrecked by nothing but p2w accounts. To me this mode seems like its for the p2w accounts.

What the hell is this crap. I watched the video. And what was said . thats to balance the MatchMaking ? I belieave thats what I heard. Can someone check out the video to see or hear if I got that right. But if it is. Thats just a way of coping out of fixing the matchmaking. Hangar Showdown Replaced two modes. When a lot of people asked for a game mode don't mean to take out an active game mode. You should of take out the non active game mode. OnSlaught out instead of 2 ov 2 and 5 on 5 TeamDeathMatch. The dumbest move ever. And then to at add insult to injury. The rewards are garbage. You'll earne for scoring everything but A-Coins also no legendary  anything. .. And there you have it Once again. Had a little faith on trying to belieave in what was being said from C.D. and what was circulating that the devs was working on it. And got nothing but pure disappointment just like that. There all F**ken LIARS everyone of them. There credibility is GARBAGE. Now for what ever CD says. I know that its a LIE . Never trust in what Crystal Drew says again. Lost what little respect . Never will I change my feelings about that dude.

Hmm, after further playing, it seems that F2P hangers do tend to get wrecked pretty often while higher end hangers do better. I am encountering a few pseudo SP droppers legendary weapons on low star mechs but they just died instantly. Although, yea they should definitely add a-coins as rewards. I REFUSE TO WAIT 100 WEEKS FOR SURGE. And remove the tickets. They aren't fun. If Devs want a new gamemode, it should be for free to play, not just 5 times a day. R the Devs using their brains? If you remove DMs and left with only CPC and that 5 attempt gamemode, it's literally gonna get more boring than studying. 

Imagine you have spent three years building three hangers and without spending real money only to be screwed by the devs. Time to find another game! No chance to even compete with pay to win hangers oh yeah the hangers are now free! This blows !

The game is so dang boring with only cpc and tournament. Being limited in every direction especially a new mode is just more shady business from the devs to push more sales of their premium purchasable novelties. I said a year or more ago that they are trying to solve the matchmaking by making people pay up to stay in and this is the path they've given us, pay for fair/balanced MM by buying your way to rank 6 pink everything.. be the killer whale or be the seal. It's our decision to pay through the paywalls going down this narrow path, not theirs... they just put the paywalls up lol shady greedy developers. 

This is a Event that they put together to see who and how many will spen a crapload off $,€, ¥,₹,₱,R$,R And HK$ and so on. This is a way to like you said korrosion  the matchmaking by making people pay up to stay in . Thats not far. But thats straight up pulling our shirts over our heads with a swift kick in the balls to finish us off with the seal clubs. And we all know 100% that Crystal Drew is going to defend them as if he was protecting a whale from being harpoon and say something about . Thats not where the update stops at. It's just a beta test . If you read it right. My eyes and the experience I'm having from all the lies is enogh to know that this game is a big scam and a way to rob the new players who download this game out of money. especially the young kids that download this game and get there parents cards and rack it out of money. This is not misleading anyone or anybody. This is the whole truth about this game . It's a scam. If this comment dont stay on to long copy and paste it on any part of the forum. Because I think it will get taken down . But if it don't I will probably be silenced for speaking my mind. Was ban already two times. I wont be surprised if it happens again. there just afraid of truth over lies. And they call that misleading

Hello guys! Thanks for your comments. The Matchmaking in the Hangar Showdown is not at this ultimate stage, as the Mode is still in Beta. The devs are aware of all the issues and currently the team is tuning the feature.

I believe that it will be super cool soon, as indeed, it solves many issues and will fix them even more 😉

It's not the matchmaking I'm worried about now. It's the lack of gamemodes. We currently have onslaught(bot murder), CPC,DMs. If you guys remove the DMs, there is very little variety of gamemodes left to playm only CPC. The Hanger Showdown gives us only 5 plays, then you have to pay a-coins. A better idea is to make a version of that gamemode but without rewards.or tickets. That way, players can still play even though they've already achieved the max number of rewards they can get. 

Total disaster, more time being spent than playing does not give the option to be able to make a strategy, the pairings are a disaster, they have eliminated the mode that I liked the most 2vs2 that allowed me to play with strategy and be able to win against better mechs and turn the game around, an abuse on top of that with tickets and pitiful rewards. Total garbage if they do not fix it and the normal 2vs2 mode comes back I will abandon the game the game breaks. I recommend Arena Breakout free on the Play Store

Hello! Noted - the 5v5 Mode is back 👍 More updates are yet to come!

Talking about the Hangar Showdown limits, we will take into account your thoughts. Currently, it's set because the Mode provides really valuable Rewards!

Hello! The Mode is still in Beta, so we are preparing a number of improvements.

The first Matchmaking updates are expected by the end of the week, so stay with us 😉

I don't think matchmaking is too bad you need to change the cost of participation after we've used our tickets to something like 1000 credits. We do not need more things to waste a-coins on.

Thanks for your feedback; we've passed it on to our devs. Note that participation in Hangar Showdown costs A-Coins, as the Prizes are more valuable accordingly.

So like 1000 credits is about as valuable as 10 a-coins
