Deal me in as well in T3!
COME AT ME BRO!
I would love to definitely. Currently introducing a friend to the game… I think he’s sold although we’ve been having terrible matchups in terms of our team sucking.
I am GMT, Scottish ^^

Yes, the second you squad or have a high SR, the game just xxxx you in the xxxx.

I sadly have to agree, with the game mechanics, if your squad is not good, the game forces you higher ranks and tougher games.

Not really, in a 2 men squad, you only have one more rank possibility, but nothing more. And most of the time you will play with the same level as playing solo.
And yes, if you have better SR, you deserve better challenges.

Better challenges != Impossible odds, as we continuously see…

continuously? maybe now an then, but the rest is people imagining things instead of trying to play.

Well, the only impossible odds I find is when I face a 4 men death squad while being solo. If I’m in a squad, there is nothing I can fear.
But that is not the MM fault, is just usual stuff in videogames.
The problem is that there are very few people playing, and the MM match a 1700 SR death squad against a 1100 average SR zerg squad. And then you are done. But not because of the MM.
At least here we have skill rated MM. In other similar games, unbalanced games are the standard, even with more than 100k players online.

No, trust me. But it’s the exact opposite with me.
Whenever I queue solo, the game xxxx me in every hole. Continuously. In every match. Do you know how bad it is to be paired with T2 pilots all below 1k SR? And, on the other team, all 1.3k minimum.
Whenever I’m in a squad, the game plays nice and we get to steamroll 80% of the matches. This on 4-man squads in matches we can actually win. I’ve done the same on 2-3man squads… Same as going solo, if not worse.

Have you ever played WoT? Anything the MM make me face here won’t be enough to reach that level of unballanced matches.

Good pilot always adopt to a situation, i recommend you keep a Bottle of lube next to your computer :lol:
Well, I had no idea there was a skill rating system in-game and that MM’ing based the lineups off of that. I find that a bit unattractive, sure it’s nice for when there is a larger playerbase I think but frankly I don’t think punishing someone because they are better than the average player is fair.
I like to play on a level playing field, no matter how good I am as a player… especially in a game like this where being matched up against higher tier ships is a possibility. It is a different story in an FPS game like, for example, Halo which has a great skill based system from my limited time trying it (last one I tried was Halo 3, for maybe a month tops, back when I was a peasant).
I don’t think you can really balance out skill, in a way. If you get raped by better players what should you do? Learn why you got raped, get better at it and then return the favour. If you’re fighting ships that are outclassing your own and better pilots then the good players effectively are punished for being good. Having a team of derps behind a good player will do nothing but ensure you lose more often than win. One player does not make a team, after all, and maybe this player is “good” for other reasons than solo play, maybe he’s good at playing a support to a half decent team rather than being a frontline player.
For these reasons, I think any skill based MM’ing should be a separate ladder with a leaderboard, not the mandatory one stop shop for all your Star Conflict needs. I mean, I don’t know about you guys but I would enjoy getting my name up at number 1.

Anyway, my IGN is Joppsta to those who are wanting to play at some point. I am busy with work this weekend though, my days off this week coming are Wednesday/Thursday but the week after I am off the whole week… last of my holidays until June/July probably. On a rota too so it’s a pain in the xxxx…

There’s none left.

I did. I quit after a week of playing it.
Anyway, will love to squad up with you sometimes :yes_yes:

The problems with WoT’s matchmaker are mainly due to the ignorance of the developer to listen to the community on a lot of issues. Example being that… T5 vs T7 is an almost impossible matchup already, but they feed T8s these T5 martyrs because, well, someone’s got to lose if someone’s winning unfortunately.
I’d say this game is different in that respect that skill truly matters here… but no question in WoT that skill does matter but in some situations there is no way to win… mainly because of being unable to penetrate, dice rolls on damage screwing you or flat out having a terrible team, which I have experienced frequently. I’d say that the MM’er over there is fairer since everybody gets the xxxx end of the stick though… rather than good players being the victims here.
Dude, EVERYBODY is a victim, here.
Okay… I think I just had the best round in a CovOps Inty so far… just destroying things left right and centre with the Swift T3 and there was nothing anybody could say about it…
Almost makes me want to main Inty now because I’m having such a blast… gotta go fast!

Sadly, the community have been asking for fixed tier matchmaking for months and to no avail.
Maybe it will be introduced when the game have a bigger playerbase, but that’s just my guess.
terrible team
This is an unavoidable part of any PvP team based game where people play solo,
Dude, EVERYBODY is a victim, here.
“if” everybody is a victim = no one is a victim
While i agree that sometimes aren’t as “balanced” as we would like them to be, in the same time difference in power between ships within 2 rank is not that big, plus there are a lot of factors going into play with current matchmaking, SR, squads, ship ranks, win streaks, equipment, even current online population is affecting queue margins. Devs have to do A LOT of sacrifices in different areas to accommodate everyone out there, there are people that demand instant games, other rather wait 10 minutes but have 12v12 only, another ones would love to be locked in their server regions and so on, and everyone of them believes that his groups is most important and mm should follow their rules.
Until this game gains population (which is not any sooner than official release) i recommend not digging much into a match balance, unless there is some blatant huge disbalance -do a screenshot (or videos in your case), attach logs and report it on forums - better on russians though) And for now learn the game and enjoy it. It is a great game and more to come, especially if yo uare in EU region and playing during 1500-2000 online , we, in NA have to deal with 500-700 people online, and still i don’t see “so many” outrageous imbalances (and I am kinda with average skill rating ~1500)
