It's amazing how awful matchmaking is and has forever been and the developers just don't care at all and never have or never will do anything about it because they just don't understand matchmaking and have no idea or care to figure it out. Just buy novelties from the store, that's the only thing this game is about. It's definitely not about the gameplay enjoyment with this company, they are casino based mindset and not actual game developers that are trying to make fair play games. It's about getting you to spend money and continuously spend more and more money until it's too late and you realize you're a moron for doing so. Yeah that's most games nowadays but the MA team is beyond the worst of them all and should be trusted the least in the gaming industry.

The thing is they make money by forcing you to feel like you need to upgrade(spend money). It's not about fairplay. It's about trying to get you to spend as much money as possible. Boost up your mech and they will still put you against harder opponents. The CM will be by here soon enough to tell you to be patient and chages are coming "Soon", but that is the same response that has been given years ago. 

I was banned just because I spoke my mind. This proves that my thoughts were correct. I just said that I'm not having fun with this game and I don't want to spend money on an unfair game. Here you go, you get banned. And you want me to give my money to YOU... nooooo, my money deserves better.

Well you're going to lose. Like chess, just imagine every loss teaches you a lesson. The only difference is the developers keep on dropping new mechs and weapons. That's falls into the red queen problem of biological systems, it will end in the game eating itself. I'd rather new maps, and mechanism to make people upgrade mechs in order to open up new maps. You can add a progress journey instead of new types of matches.

it's not that they don't understand, they do.   THIS is the business model, they have no interest in F2P players at all, you're only there to feed the whales.  They aren't going to change the matchmaking because those whales paid alot of money so they can have an advantage, and putting them against other whales removes that advantage.

Matchmaking is predetermined, Matchmaking is orchestrated, Matchmaking is scripted. It's not even matchmaking, it's just a quick pairing system with minimal use of algorithms to set up a balanced match. Matchmaking is set up to get people to over spend and become addicted to collecting the newest legendary $hop novelties.

It is sad, and disheartening. I don't mind a bit of challenge, from slightly better mech. I think it improves your game as you learn from them. But totally agree the balance is deliberately unbalanced to a point where players start hating the game. We keep going back because the game is addictive. 

i just played a game where I offloaded both storm racks directly at an opponent. It made zero dent on their health. They return fired with a minigun and the 1st bullet killed me. I was full health and minigun should be a sustained fire killer, not single shot like a sniper. this was hanger showdown. My mech is 12, that mech was 32. I stood little chance. 

This "game" is nothing more than a joke being played on us at our expense.. The only thing missing from the latest rebalance interview with Pasha is him not spitting towards the camera at us.. that interview is a digital slap to our faces.

It shows that all that matters to them is whales and nothing else matters, that is why your seeing that. 80K inventory and 7k and under hanger putting them gains people with 15k inventory and 5k hangers, and it wont change they have said for years they would be and will but same rinse and reepeat and still nothing has improved

With yesterday's update, nothing to do today either, defeats, defeats, defeats... after 4 years, losing games one after the other. THE HIGH INCOMPETENCE OF THIS STAFF IS INCREDIBLE. Completely incompetent, and after seeing the rebalance interview, I rushed to throw up and uninstall this garbage managed by incompetents. After 4 years and countless, WE ARE WORKING ON IT, STAY WITH US, this is where they've arrived, the usual things, nerfs and nothing new. TRULY TERRIBLE GAME, AND ALWAYS GETTING WORSE, TOTAL TRASH. I imagine how many will be angry after the imminent NERFs to their expensive weapons and MECHs, yes because they will weaken the most used weapons, THE ONES WHERE EVERYONE HAS INVESTED, they will be nerfed. AND THEY WILL STRENGTHEN the ones that nobody uses, THEY ARE SMART BUT UNINTELLIGENT, so you will have to empty your wallet for the thousandth time... good luck to everyone... and screw this garbage...
