I agree with changing HS to 1v1 and also bring the original 2v2 mode back.

No no no no no i hate the one we have already heavy p2w makes it 100000% unfair

2v2 is far worse for unfairness, if someone's hanger is 20k power, they shouldn't be getting 9k power teamates, 

Every battle is important in showdown and we shouldn't lose matches because of bad teamates, so 1v1 would make it a lot fairer 

And plus 1v1 is what showdown means, 2v2 doesn't class as a showdown 

It would be ok this way if their matchmaking doesn't match people against me with double and over SP. Everything always comes down to their overly complicated matchmaking. If they simplify it somewhat so they can understand themselves on how to adjust it, then the entire game will be 100% better. My last hanger showdown I had to go against a player that had an IP of 46.04k, 3 times mine. Their SP power was close to mine, but since I have 2 legendary mechs and they have 4, it still shows the unbalance. We just need this game to make sense for once.

What league are you playing in and what is your sp for it?

Can't say whether 2v2 or 1v1 will be good, but I will agree the fact that sometimes people lose because of weaker teammates and bots which choose the weakest weapon combinations. But there are disadvantages in 1v1 matches also; for example if a F2P and P2W play against one another, all know that the adavantage shifts toward the P2W player because MOST P2Ws buy recently released mechs and weapons which significantly improve their winning chances, and there's already the issue of unfair matchmaking which might heavily affect F2P gaming. According to me: This problem can only be solved when matchmaking is much fairly made.

I think at LEAST the bots should be symmetrical, as this balancing idea they seemingly had definitely isn't working... 

from what I have seen when investigating matchmaking has been a joke for a long time

ill beat any of you in hangar showdown in league 2 without mods coz i nearly dont have them :) i dont care what your sp or ip is. S@ck it. i can even pick shitty mechs i dont know why it makes so much difference pay to win or not. Sadly we cant do this match because even in custom match there is no option for hangar showdown. I like 2v2 more.

Thats a good day in hangar showdown lol.. I started to hope for the first ever time to get the implant crate, but I got an ally who was offline, curse him in hell! Joking :)

Lets be honest this is very rare.. I usually get to 1500, I aim for 2000 as it gives me purple thingies for mods.. But I also have bad days which would give me only 1000.. 1000-2000 is a norm in my hangar showdown. 2500 is anomaly. 3000 never happened. 500 never happened either.. And I do get offline ally at least once a day I think.. I do get stupid allies every day  :))) by stupid I mean the one who would rush against 2 enemies with some crappy mech or not use deathwalker ability or use seeker against 2 surges next to each other or just manage to die within 5 seconds against some ranged weapon, that is not even 1 shot type of weapon.. I dont think hangar showdown needs improving in 2nd league, if they do try to improve it they will for sure, 100% screw it up, I like it the way it is.. I have good days and I have bad days but I reach my 1500 target.. If you don't reach your targets try to change league. I had to push myself into 2nd league, using my pink lancer... It's mostly dying, but i would say in 30-50% it actually does the job.. and sometimes can even kill both enemies.. 

I have some recommendations to people who may not realize that pilots and implants get maxed out, so if you have level 1 pilot but it's legendary, use it, it will give you extra health etc like if it was pink.. I'm quite sure. Same goes to implants.. As for mechs, keep in mind that the more legendary mech is the more health it will have when maxed out... it helps a lot, depending on situation.. for example Volti would kill most common/rare mechs in one ability attack while it would need 2-3 attacks for legendaries.

I don't know why we cant have hangar showdown in custom match.. or an option within hangar showdown to invite somebody for a "free" game. That would be so cool.. Although I dont really have friends to invite :) but others do. I believe hangar showdown is a really really great mode for training purposes.. you learn to work in a team, you learn how important mech abilities are, you learn when to jump and when to hide.. it's so underrated. When I tried it first time I thought, what a freaking shet it is... I was so wrong.
