IMO it forces you to quit or spend, i did this unknowingly like you and upgrading made my team get slaughtered..

Spent a few $ and it fixed my issue.. 

There is no F2P if you walk into this game uninformed that is why if you can just start new and learn from there make a low teir team and upgrade your end game team 

I have two account one F2P mainly and P2W 

But yah they wont fix this its the hook you will eventually spend, quit or start new and if you have patience and time starting new is not to bad.

there is a lot of low teir/lgend mix hangars, worst is legacy accounts with mods its the only ones that defeat my 3k team. 

I love MECHs so this was an easy hook for me.

If you are going to spend wait for deals far and few but they are there!!

So true it doesn't make sense to me and the prices once you get to a certain rank is ridiculous 

Gift me please need a coin 🙏 

i understand you as an individual are not the one behind the decisions but Plarium has been saying this for quite sometime. Your game is BROKEN. 90% of the top 500 are matchmaking abusers and you can clearly see in their hangars. The tournaments are ruled by similar players and the game just keeps punishing you for daring to upgrade or increase your squad power. I currently have 3 - 4 of my favorite mechs up to 6 star (because of the godawful mod system that also needs change) now the game is unplayable. Your system has decided that I need to be put against higher ranking players and more aggressive bots, while giving me useless bots with mechs and weapons that should not belong in the game past 3000 SP. I am on a losing streak because of this nonsense and i regret leveling up my stuff and spending money with you.

  on simply your brain is on vertigo which refuses to comprehand outcomes of there delude thinking 

I was thinking the same thing, game play bullying is not fun and makes those of us who just want to have fun irritable and resentful of the game 

Here's an idea....

could each mech (and weapon?) have a slider so that we can move freely between ranks that we have unlocked? I can't see a way for that to give anyone an unfair advantage. 

My vested interest: I regret some of my upgrades, they have messed with the useability of some mechs. I don't want the credits or A-coins back as I have willingly and happily (at the time) used them for exactly what Playrium said I would get for them, but if I could move back down to lower ranks (with the associated lower health, lower carry capacity) I would be able to enjoy using them again. As the rest of my mechs improve, I could move back up to keep them equal :)  I feel like a lot of players would enjoy and appreciate this feature.

Or... if one of the devs reads this and take pity on me, please can you move my Juggernaut and Ares back down to 6-star, level 4 and all mods back down to level 2? :) :)  User ID 8799 7018 :D

That's an interesting idea! I'm sure it would bring some issues for the current balance due to its complexity, but it will be passed on to the dev team!

Flexibility you put in. Flexibility you abuse to force people to buy.  Just be honest for your own soul.  Lying is terrible thing.  

You could un-flex it in a second and make the game enjoyable for everyone but you haven't in years and never will.  Just admit it.  Your support via mobile told me straight up just to try and sp drop.  Thats crazy work.  The only way to enjoy the game is to abuse an abusive system.  Great stuff 👏 

Hello! We understand how frustrating it can be to feel limited by Matchmaking and balance issues. Everything I shared comes directly from the dev team, so it’s official information. We are actively working to improve balance and address unfair situations, and we’re sorry you’ve had to deal with these challenges.

In the meantime, one way to help improve your Matchmaking experience is to try to balance your Squad as much as possible - using Mechs and Weapons of the same Grade and Rank. This can make battles feel fairer while we continue refining the system.
