Matches these days after 2 last updates/nerfs

Small example from matches these days. Its either all or nothing (in 9K range).

Before these 2 updates you could have some verry nice close mathes, but now, its Noobs vs Pro’s, or the matchmaker doesnt know what is what anymore.

Not even mentioning, seeing no melees, shotgunners, tusk rammers after they got nerfed hard. How do you call that balancing, when Raijn rips every build to screds, or Quasars or Cyclones or even normal Machines guns, lol.

Oh man what has begone of this game.

No point cherry picking, I can post 4 images of matchs ending in 0-1 or 1-0 and say matchmaking is great but that would be dishonest too. Take a 100 game sample, and summarize which proportion ends in 0-2 player difference, 3-5, 6-8, and I doubt more than a third will be in the last bucket.

Yeah, we all have winning streaks and losing streaks. It’s normal.

A lot of it is the small playerbase. Get a few strong groups playing at the same time, and you can end up facing them again and again. But play long enough, and you end up with the strong players.

Moving to another PS range always helps, by putting you in another queue.

Its not cherry picking. I play every day for hours and hours. I just seeing an trend after these 2 updates. You can agree with me or not, its my personal experience which i am encountering. Ive spoke more ppl in PM about this, and they say this also.

And i want it get adressed, because we losing more and more euro ppl each month. I know by changing PS it can be a total different story. But 80% of my builds are between 8.5K and 12K. Mostly 9K because of CC.

If that total energy overhauld wasnt enough, and nerfing whole melee, shotgun, tusk rammer classes. Its a clusterfuck now with Raijn, Cyclones, Destructors, MGs and Quasars.

the matchmaker regularly puts total goobers against actual competent players, no clue what it uses to determine how to make a team but its not working

How about when you win about 10 games in a row and then suddenly you’re in a 5v7 match, that’s a little more sus. :joy:

I feel like too many people on this forum have “main character syndrome”.

The game doesn’t care whether you win or lose. None of us are that special.

the game probably does care if you win or lose among other stats otherwise it wouldnt consistently switch between matching alongside either idiots or reasonable players with no in between

lol why even have a balance system then for that, when its not working? Told that already ages ago. When i started in 2016 in Closed beta, at that time the matchmaking was way better.

All the new weapons(and the ammount of weapons and items), skills of players, adding to this system, and altering energy levels of all items, made it only worser.

Teams are small, underpowered parts are way too underpowered and numerous, and there is a lot of skill stratification in this game because its inherently more difficult than most pvp games. There is always that solo or duo that is almost guaranteed to win a 1v1 against every single player on your team because their builds are very efficient and they are skilled, and both of these are regardless of whatever meta parts they do/dont use.
Play a stronger build and pay attention to the enemy name list to go after the enemy mvp and avoid that one guy that focuses you and you will have better games.

Thursday me and friend played some games.
6 games vs full enemy 4 clan team - brick people squad. Shitty team that do nothin to them.
we decided to switch back to our main builds that could easier win their “bricks”.
We won 2 next games and after that we never met them again that day.

Yes, 2 people can win all game.
