We completely understand how frustrating it is to face unfair matchups, and we’re sorry this has been your experience lately.
A big part of the challenge right now comes from how much freedom the game gives players to customize their loadouts. Because someone can mix an early-game Mech with a top-tier Legendary Weapon, it makes it incredibly tricky for our system to calculate a perfectly fair match. Unfortunately, some players are taking advantage of this to manipulate their Squad Power and get matched with easier opponents.
Please know we hear your frustration, and we agree that this takes the fun out of the game. Our team is actively working on behind-the-scenes adjustments to make matchmaking fair and balanced again. Thank you so much for your patience and for sticking with us while we roll out these improvements... 

Thank You Sir 😇 I love Mech Arena

"People will and should be required to have a balanced hanger with respect to the mechs and weapons"

Define balanced. If someone gets the top prize in a crate rush, would you put limits on how they use it?

When new players join, they get codes that give them Vortex or Aegis or Blizz etc. The other mechs available are Lancer, M.D. Paragon etc. Not balanced.

Mech achievements need specific weapons. How does that fit into "balanced?" 

If a mech has 12 energy and a players available weapons don't fit, how would you react to seeing them carrying 8 or 10?

Or a 16-energy mech, but a player has a 12-energy weapon that's ranked higher than their 16. What happens then?

Your comment just doesn't work in the real world of Mech Arena.

Look i understand what your saying but me i have a 25k inventory power and about between 5 to 7k hanger power, and i face people with 70k inventory power but drops there hanger to 5k and under. I can't even finish my dailys now its that bad, whales are abusing your old broken system and your letting them by making new accounts for sp drop hanger accounts and using there mains and dropping there hanger so low that they face people like me. Even beginners are facing this now. I am sorry i have 0 faith in your words because you been saying the same garbage for years, i am pretty sure people want action not words and not new weapons and mechs they want this crap fixed first 

I agree with this totally.. it's too complicated to balance by hangar power etc..

The win percentage makes sense.. I guess that's more or less what a new tournament system is... if you win a lot you should meet people who win a lot... and if you lose against biggest winners than you fall, and that's how you find you place... and your inventory finds the place... and if you get bigger gun you grow in wins.. and find your new place.. 

I just realized that if I want to play against old school weapons and mechs in a tournament I can actually keep my hangar at 2500... I would just go down the ranks and have to ignore the fact that I'm not in high league and that around me are mechs not with best of their skills... but not necessarily.. could be people with great skills but low inventory.. In short, that win percentage might be the key.. 

if you win too much you get in the league with either great skills or with enemies on impossible to kill mechs, therefore you need a bigger gun... it's also a win for developers where they get more money from guns and in top 500 are paying or old players, which is how it should be, it should not be full of * * * who are just abusing kids by leaving 1 mech to win all battles. No idea how they enjoy it... but thats them.

The issue is they want you to go up against mechs/weapons like that to entice you to increase your mech/weapon inventory. The issue is unless you go maxed out, you will always run into the same issue. Unless the matchmaking chooses you as the more powerful foe to entice your opponent. This process is also manupliated with the us of Bots. Fairplay is not the goal or we would see mech/weapon power with greater differences. A legenday weapon of 3 stars capable of doing twice the damage of a 6 star common and have a lower power ranking then the common. Same goes for mechs with their hp/skills. 

Inventory power suggests more knowledge of the game because more time has -probably- been spent playing it to gather that much stuff

.....but it doesn't change the squad power. If someone has an SP of X then they should go up against other players with a similar SP. Give or take whatever sensible %

I was in a match a couple of days ago with an SP of 5.2-5.5K. We lost the match in about 2 1/2 minutes and I got fully 100% of the kills. That should NEVER EVER happen. That is broken matchmaking.

I noticed they do not respond to us in here lol happens everytime when this is talked about, the fact is it will never change
