It's amazing how awful matchmaking is and has forever been and the developers just don't care at all and never have or never will do anything about it because they just don't understand matchmaking and have no idea or care to figure it out. Just buy novelties from the store, that's the only thing this game is about. It's definitely not about the gameplay enjoyment with this company, they are casino based mindset and not actual game developers that are trying to make fair play games. It's about getting you to spend money and continuously spend more and more money until it's too late and you realize you're a moron for doing so. Yeah that's most games nowadays but the MA team is beyond the worst of them all and should be trusted the least in the gaming industry.

The thing is they make money by forcing you to feel like you need to upgrade(spend money). It's not about fairplay. It's about trying to get you to spend as much money as possible. Boost up your mech and they will still put you against harder opponents. The CM will be by here soon enough to tell you to be patient and chages are coming "Soon", but that is the same response that has been given years ago. 

I was banned just because I spoke my mind. This proves that my thoughts were correct. I just said that I'm not having fun with this game and I don't want to spend money on an unfair game. Here you go, you get banned. And you want me to give my money to YOU... nooooo, my money deserves better.

Well you're going to lose. Like chess, just imagine every loss teaches you a lesson. The only difference is the developers keep on dropping new mechs and weapons. That's falls into the red queen problem of biological systems, it will end in the game eating itself. I'd rather new maps, and mechanism to make people upgrade mechs in order to open up new maps. You can add a progress journey instead of new types of matches.
