So sampled from about 40 matches I have 17 losses here where either:

-I am on a team where my opponents have much better records than my teammates

-I am in a match with opponents who have much stronger stuff than either me or my teammates

-I am in a match where both my teammates and my opponents have much stronger equipment than me but not each other, and I'm the weak link on my team where the opponents have no weak link

-All the bots on my team have less points than any other bot on the opposing team and/or each of my bots does worse kills wise than another bot on the opposing team. Which tells me not only are my bots not getting as many kills as the opponents but they're actively avoiding dealing damage and only killing things by stealing kills to look on the match page like they're doing something.

And I've sent another 15 matches from another 40 that are similar.

They do something in the game and make you lose, and if you're good, you're playing with allies who are much lower level than your opponents. This is a mockery of this game towards the players.

and I will say that many times while you are losing for fun with a few shots, they are not losing at all, as if the robots have life 4 to 5 times more than normal

I feel your pain.  Regularly.  They just aren't going to do anything about it.  

The game's goal is to do whatever it has to in order to give you only a 50% win rate for your last X number of matches.  Stop upgrading things for a month and use the same hanger that entire time and you'll really start to fall into that pattern.  The only real way to beat that is to either A) regularly run with 4 friends of similar to better squad power or B) spend enough money to present a maxed out legendary squad (mechs, weapons, pilots, implants, mods all legendary and all maxed out).  

It appears to me that the games basic philosophy is that if you lose enough, you'll spend money to win.  Its a horrible thing and completely wrong in my opinion (from several angles).  They believe that if you are losing enough you'll either A) spend money to stop losing or B) get mad and quit the game.  There are enough players doing A that they don't care about B.  

That being said, I'm an idiot who is free to play and keeps coming back in hopes of things getting better.  Its a good game under the covers.  I'd probably spend money on it if it wasn't for these practices - just because I'd actually be having fun with each match (win or lose).

I JUST LEFT THE GAME, 1 ONE MINUTE I LOST 3 MECHS,, and then I go out.. when you find people hiding, shooting a gemini or others with faces that stand still.. it's a dead and monotonous game,, I played 3 games 2 lost 1 won, but the 2 lost against opponents who kill you with 1 shot.. this game lacks imagination and balance... too focused on making the supreme weapon of the moment.. the game is based only on that. if you don't have the latest news you suffer because everything else gets nerfed, and you find yourself succumbing... too often without having the chance to demonstrate your skill, because here the skill is not needed.. it would be a good game, but too unbalanced.

Its next to impossible to win now. The number of times that I am the last mech standing against a full other team is crazy. I get destroyed as soon as I spawn. This game is just no longer

All day it's been nothing but a.i. bots and a lot of losses. It definitely feels like relentless forced losses. Thought the description of this game said it's a PvP game but it's not, it's mainly PvA.I. and it's not due to the time/day or lack of players either.

Seriously I've been put in matches before the timer reaches 30 seconds and the match still had bots. That should only happen when the match can be filled with real players and no other time. Just more proof losses are forced. I know they're gonna wanna try and deny it.

It's only been searching half the time it can or less for me in control point and 5v5 and it's always 1 real player with 4 bots against me and 4 bots. I don't even waste my time in these matches and I could care less about what my win/playrate says due to this because those numbers are meaningless. They need to change the description of this game to PvA.i. instead of lying about it being pvp. They are forcing their a.i. bots into matches instead of letting the game actually be pvp. Half of more of my HS matches are 1v1 with bot teammates. I seen way more actual PvP in the old original 2v2 mode.

Hello, we’ve read your message.

We understand you’re very frustrated after a long set of matches like this. However, match outcomes are not “forced” in the way described. The system does not target individual players or predetermine wins and losses.

What you’re experiencing is a combination of matchmaking, team composition, bots, and performance differences between matches, which can sometimes create streaks that feel very one-sided, especially during rank transitions.

We’re not ignoring your feedback, and your reports and concerns about matchmaking balance and bot behaviour have already been passed on to the team.

We have heard this before its just words, we want actions and when you loose so much do to whales and there drop hangers and bots that are unbeatable. We tend or me at least do not believe a word you say, because it is a rinse and repeat with all of you. Matchmaking system is old broken and garbage most whales take advantage of this broken system. And know they can get away with it because you do nothing to help at all besides new bs toys, instead of fixing this garbage and the combination of that and bots you can't beat we loose 100% of the time. So enough words and more action, but words is all your good at atm sorry but its true

Matchmaking is so terrible that I'm going back to Mech Wars. Better matchmaking and more real players.

Oh for now but I have seen that game apparently AI can still manipulate the matches a lot and it's a mech arena ripoff anyways so I'll pass

Yeah all games now are manipulated by a.i. and Mech Wars has been around years longer than Mech Arena. Mech Arena and Mech Wars both rip off ideas from each other.

All games now are manipulated by AI? So that just makes it acceptable? Also is this what mobile game players deal with regularly?

I really need forums to stop deleting the fact that I quoted a post when I go to edit another one. I have a response above in this thread too.
