I heard from someone that there's been an update which has made the bots overly strong and aggressive. I've not played since the update so I haven't experienced it myself. This has happened before also though multiple times, and fortunately they eventually either fixed the problem or the problem got fixed itself after you play a few games. Hopefully it's the same this time as well.

You would think that the devs have some simple tests in place to prevent mishaps like this from happening repeatedly. Sometimes I feel like applying to their company for a job just to pull up their socks :-).

Hello! The work on the Matchmaking system is in active progress, thanks for your comment and stay tuned 👍

What are you actually doing to improve match making?

This is a frustrating answer. Apparently there is an active matchmaking issue introduced after a recent update. It has made things worse than normal, apparently specific to the CPC game mode. Please tell us about the active ongoing issue, and what's being done about it. The general "we are working on matchmaking" tells us nothing about what appears to be a recently introduced bug.

I have been playing MechArena on/off for years, and nothing has changed... once you leave the newbie protection range, the matchmaking is just unfair in either direction. I have read so many comments that it is under development, being worked on or something else, that I can not count them.

Please explain how the matchmaking works right now and which part the devs are optimising. Please refrain from empty promises like in the last years.

Hello guys! The Matchmaking system is a complex set of mechanics that match real players and bots based on their Squad Power, Ranks, and Content Grades, players' locations, skills, and many other minor details.

Currently, our team is trying to improve it, making it impossible for abusers to manipulate these requirements. Stay with us - we are analyzing the changes and the next steps will be set asap!

Please ask your devs to improve it by simplifying it first. The more complex you make your matchmaking the more fragile it will be. You've seen some solid advice from me and other players in this regard.

And in the meantime 

a) please revert whatever change is causing the CPC chaos.

b) put tests in place to prevent such mishaps from happening in the future. This same kind of matchmaking + superbot issue has happened many times in the past (in those instances in the tournaments) so it's about time some automated tests are put in place to catch these before they are released.

What are you actually doing to make it harder for abusers to manipulate?

Hi,

Think is solved (for now), last few matches in CPC I experienced felt more balanced.

I confirm it. The work on the Matchmaking is still in progress 🪛
