Developers are on weed
I have no idea what kind of matchmaking logic is running behind the curtain, but whatever it is, it completely collapses in Hangar Showdown.
My opponents arrive fully armed. Legendary mechs. Legendary weapons. Full mods. Clean builds. Ruthless coordination.
My teammates arrive like tourists. Rare or epic mechs, usually half built. One mod if luck smiles. Weapons that make no sense at all. Revoker level six at best. I have even seen a Paragon carrying a pulse cannon with a single mod, as if experimentation belongs in ranked matches. And no I am not talking about bot but actual players.
So explain the expectation. How exactly am I meant to fight two fully optimized players while my teammates hide behind cover, waiting for me to perform a miracle so they can collect rewards they did nothing to earn.
The result is simple. I lose match after match, not because of skill, not because of tactics, but because the system feeds me dead weight while handing the enemy a feast.
And as if this imbalance was not enough, cross platform matchmaking throws PC players into the mix. They move faster, turn faster, slice through mechs with mechanical precision. It feels less like a fair arena and more like being dropped into a speedrun I never signed up for.
Now let us talk commitment.
Being auther I alredy don't really get much of a time.
I run two accounts. On each account, I have spent roughly 1.5 thousand dollars. That puts my total investment well over three thousand dollars across a single year. This was not casual spending. This was support given in good faith.
And yet, despite all of that, the experience remains unplayable. Skill does not matter. Investment does not matter. Strategy does not matter. The system decides the outcome before the match even begins.
The only reason I am still here is simple. My son enjoys playing with me. That is the last thread holding this together.
If this continues, walking away becomes the rational choice. Moving to another game becomes the respectful choice toward my own time.
I have been gaming for nearly twenty five years. I have lived four decades. This is the first time I have watched a company actively degrade its own product over time instead of refining it. Most games grow. This one erodes.
It gives the impression of a development team completely detached from its player base, drifting forward without urgency, without clarity, without care.
I already know the response this review will receive. A polite thank you. A promise that the team is working on it. A vague assurance that the issue will be resolved soon, Where in matchmaking complaint exist in forum since last 3 years that shows there commitment for sure.
The problem is simple. Either the team does not understand the issue, or understanding it holds no value internally.
Both possibilities lead to the same outcome for players. Which in inclusion make it very clear either they don't care or they are on weed, anyways.
This is a deeply disappointing experience. From Plarium, I expected competence. What I am receiving instead is neglect.
