I know exactly how you feel. I logged on one day and lost the first 6-8 matches of the day because the bots on my team sucked and the bots on the other team were insanely good. I could drop 20 kills in a 5v5 having a team of bots against one player (who would score about 9-10 kills) on a team filled with bots and I would still lose.
6 out of 8 that rough. When get up to 3 losses in a row I'm done for the day, sometimes a few days. Mostly now I just login to complete dailys and weeklys.
It's difficult for them to answer you, no one knows what it is. they are just poorly succeeded experiments by the developers, in an attempt to improve a game mechanic, which not even they understand, so any answers you will be given by anyone are just ASSUMPTIONS.,, but nothing real.
this is a sacrosanct truth,,, nothing will lead to improvements in the game., the double hangar brings an advantage especially to those who use a rigged hangar to win easily, now they no longer even have the trouble of continuing to change mechs and weapons auahahahaa. it will sink worse and worse this game will sink
Is matchmaking fair or broken...??? Answer this please...
Okay, lets say matchmaking is really the downfall as so many player quits die to this.
I was matched with 2x of mybsquad power, and two enemys(2v2) have 5 star redox and killshot.
I duno if this is really fair, or just like whatvthe support always says that this needs coordination and strategy, well even if we have coordination, can my 2 star killshot and panther defeat a 5 star killshot and redox?
If a community manager can see this, do youbthink this is fair matchmaking or broken? Just answer that without flavoring some nonsense to avoid the question. Fair or broken??????

The matchmaking system may perform incorrectly, but we are actively working on it!
It's most likely possible that the devs cant fix it. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Trying to fix it can cause more bugs: In a Dev Talk video (or something like that) the devs said that they want to fix certain bugs, but cant do that without causing even more bugs. So it's possible that they can't make any huge changes to matchmaking because that could only make things worse.
2. Not enough time to fix it: In the same Dev Talk video the devs said they wanted Eclipse to have the ability to go fully invisible, but that they couldnt finish that in time because of a deadline (Plarium has to give them more time so they can make more original weapons and mechs). It could be possible that the devs cant fix some issues with matchmaking because it would take too much time. So instead they focus on things that they can fix quickly.
3. The system of the game is the problem: The matchmaking of Games like Fortnite and Rocket League are based on your skills, also called skillbased-matchmaking, you get put against players that are around as good as you are. Mech Arena also has that (kinda, it's based on your win/lose-rate, which can also be the problem sometimes), but Mech Arena also has a hangar you can increase in power and Mech Arena has paid items that actually affect your game. This is the system problem, because some items are better than other (like a Bastion being better than a Ares) you cant have a always good matchmaking, that's just not possible when the game works like that. Grade Update did not help with this, this made P2W players only stronger compared to F2P players.
Matchmaking is a lot worse since the addition of presets. I have one set for my tournament stuff and another for achievements. There's a difference of about 1500 to 2000 SP between those. When I switch, I can't win at all with the achievement preset (the one with the smaller squad power) and when I switch back, I feel like I'm being punished by the system with my tournament preset for being an SP dropper. I'm not SP dropping, I'm using a function of the game.
If the game can't keep the matchmaking for our presets separate, what's the point of having them in the first place??!!??!!
This was fixed some time around 12/5. Presets are now matched individuall.
However, your Tier average, power average, and mech/weapon rank average all will determine your oponents. Tier average is easiest to forget. Also the sprrad between your max Tier/rank and your average will also end up pairing you in a higher power lobby than your team as a whole may be equipped for. Trying to reduce sandbagging i would guess. Your division ranking will also have an impact. Win enough and at certain teirs/power levels youll get pooled against higher ranked mechs/weapons to "challenge you."

I approve and agree, what has been happening to me for 2 weeks, the game is increasingly rubbish, the stupid game system imposed by the developers is ruining the life of the players, but as simple as you say, it's better to stop. I've lost more games in the last month than in a whole year... something isn't working. to the advantage of the usual losers who play with a 1500k hangar having a strength of over 22k and over 150k kills, a sign of bored people who otherwise wouldn't win. but as we know, palrium rewards the smart, those who pay are penalised.... scammers.

I'm doing it wrong, how can you say this, when my skill clashes with 100% BOT opponents. here there is no strategy and skill... playing against BOT. I posted some screens of 10 players with 9 bots, the only real one was me?? should I waste my time with this rubbish??, the fact is that they are not able to do their job with a minimum of decency and respect towards the players, especially the paying players... just rubbish...
When did i ever say that YOU were doing it wrong? I never said that. I only shared my ideas of what could be the cause of Matchmaking sometimes being broken or being able to exploit it the way it works. The reason you could ne facing more bots can depend on the time when you are playing, where you are playing (which server) and which gamemode you are playing. 2vs2 has sometimes less players because the mode is less rewarding per match, which means there is a higher chance that you only face bots for a couple of matches. CPC and 5vs5 are more rewarding per match which means they have more players at more times.
By the way, the fourth possibility of why matchmaking is bad (which i wasnt sure of if i could say that without getting banned) is that Plarium forces the developers to make the game rigged to squeeze as much money out of it as possible, which is actually the most likely one and explains most things that happen currently on the game. Currently the matchmaking punishes bad players that do spend money by putting them against weaker opponents, while punishing good players that mostly dont spend money to make them spend money. You could also see this in the bots, bots sometimes play bad on purpose to make the opponent team win. For example, their tactics being even worse, skipping control points. I once got 28 kills in 5vs5 and the real player on the opponent team only 14, but i still lost because the bots on my team got waayyyy less kills than the opponent-bots. So yeah, there is a high chance the game is rigged by the devs because Plarium wants it to be, which makes sense, Plarium is greedy and does not care about it's players. They only care about the players that spend alot of money.
Can we see your inventory and hangar CrysralDrew? I'm just curious is all. I've been an F2P ever since I started playing this gam and I have made some incredible progress even though there are tons of SP droppers and extremely hard to beat bots.
you see the honesty would be to demonstrate your hangar but no one believes it. you violate the rules of respect for your paying supporters, you also lie about your hangar, you lose the trust of the community more and more often. .. this is a rubbish game.. there is no remedy.

here you said exactly how the game system works, it's the truth and you can demonstrate it very well in every game.. the goal is to make you feel weak so you force yourself to spend. that you bark a 5k hangar. 7k. etc etc you will always be inferior. scam system there is no other way. and this can also be seen from the comments on the APP on the store.
The matchmaking system may perform incorrectly, but we are actively working on it!
tired of everything, of the lies, of the game system, of your usual and same answers, you've been repeating it for 1 year. but they won't solve anything. because it was studied that way. arrogance and stupidity will lead this game to ruin, oops.... I correct it and it's already in decline... now I abandon games in the first minute, tired of losing 3 mechs in 60 seconds killed repeatedly by Bot, and for the most part always from the same one... who seems there waiting for me... corrupt game, and not to mention it might not work correctly, because you want it that way on purpose, so whoever is intelligent leaves this rubbish. in this last month it has become impossible, never lost so many games... in a row, as I said I don't want to waste money on a VS -BOT game, where they don't even allow you to face the only real enemy in the game, or rarely 2. and don't say that you have few players, because if that were the case, the game has already failed...

Could you please explain the 3 mechs getting destroyed by a single bot? I never had that issue, my issue is just the matchmaking putting you against 2k SP higher opponents sometimes and the fact that bots are sometimes rigged to make you lose. I never got killed by the same bot multiple times, in 5vs5 it's even rare that i die multiple times. I always used Guardian with Dual Disc 8 and now i also use Stalker Dual EM Rifle 8 (I got it with Acoins, i'm a F2P player). Maybe you could show a picture of your hangar with your mechs, that would explain at which point of the game you are at, best would also be a video of you playing a match to understand how good you are at the game.
