Look at the ship choices.
One minute later.
Can we at least have larger matches because clearly the matchmaking is not working. May as well chuck in randoms so we can have a proper sized team and not 2 people farm everyone for the entire game.
Matchmaker seems to think I’m some sort of pro. Hard to level up ships with full maxed veterans on the enemy team and >50% losing team…
Takamina means automatic disconnect on your team.
Sure, the guy is really good, so I assume that you lost.
If the matchmaking does not find more players, it will be a smaller match.
MM has been putting me in me vs a team of good players in T3. A lot.
For example there are many matches where I am the only one planting bombs in detonation. I am piloting a bear no cruise engines. Why am I the only one planting bombs?!
I had a match the other day where the bot had about 1500 points because it was following me. It was the second ranked pilot on my side in that fight.
MM has been making me earn wins since the new pilot rating system.
Bad matchmaking, and bad ping… Absolutely hate when I get in matches like this. Try squading up with 4 man groups and getting another corp to do the same so you get more enjoyable matches. It really makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
I have been complaining about this for like ages. The only answers i got so far was from Tillowatty to git gut, whatever that means and some others who told me its pointless since nobody gives a xxxx about this. The matchmaker seems to believe for some reason that i am good and so far sticks to that opinion no matter what.

We all give a sh** about this. We’ve just given up trying, because the devs don’t listen to us. No matter how many topics we create about bad matchmaking and small games in T4/5, nothing is ever done about it.

This makes sense when not many players are queueing, but even in times where I know plenty of people are queueing for T5, matchmaker still creates games that are 3v3-5v5 instead of actually trying to make large games. The largest game I have seen in T5 (not counting seccon) in the past 4-5 months was a 6v6. I’m fine with small games when very few players are on (mainly US primetime), but in EU/RU primetimes, I would be willing to bet lots of people would be queueing for T5.
As far as Rennie’s post goes, they really need to implement a minimum ship restriction in T4/5. For T4, you shouldn’t be allowed to queue if you have less than 3 usable ships in your slots. For T5, you shouldn’t be allowed to queue if you have less than 4 usable ships.
I appreciate the change so that too-low ranked ships can’t be used, but now I see more and more people running only 1 or 2 usable ships with 2 or 3 unusable ones (like Rennie’s screenshot). This needs to stop. It’s bad enough that people can tier-rush and buy their way to T5 without any skill development/training, but allowing them to compete in T5 with only 1 ship is beyond ridiculous. Any pilot that isn’t a tier-rusher should easily have 3 usable ships by T4 and 4 usable ships by T5. Implementing this kind of restriction would only make tier-rushing harder, which is a much-needed addition to T5.
A pool was held, and people voted for faster games, so you have faster games.
If you want the same MM as in tier 2 and 3, you will have to wait for 5 mins to fill a game. Some people (I included) won’t care, but most people do.
It would already be an improvement if the takamina team would get the guy with only 2 ships.
I get the idea that the MM is spagetti code by now and nobody dares to touch it anymore. It might also have developed a malevolent AI.

I’m well aware of the poll, I voted for faster games simply because there was no option for “create large games when there are enough players in queue, but otherwise put us in games faster”
In T3 you can easily get an 8v8 or larger in less than 2 minutes. That could easily be accomplished in T5 as well. I would rather spend 2 minutes in the queue to get a game that is 100 times more enjoyable than get boring 3v3’s in as low as 30 seconds.
When more players are in the queue, the game should make a larger game. The reason a lot of people don’t play much T5 anymore is because of the small games (myself included). I stick to T3 primarily as the queue times are fairly low and games are large and enjoyable. (not to mention that the scourge of tier-rushers is practically non-existent in T3).

Don’t blame us. Match times are 10 minutes max. I don’t want long wait times for that.

O my gosh, I agree with it.
@Erik The guy that disconnected would probably have disconnected anyway with Takamina on the opposing team.
I think most people playing would simply fly off to remote edges of the map and watch the carnage. Word of advice, Eng. heavy lasers & ignore aim leads. Aim directly at the ship itself, it will be going in small drunken circles. Launch attack drones after the Inty has already closed in. If your rotation is less than 55 you are probably boned anyway.

Takamina also had a bad day. Only 2 kills in 1:30?
Lol’d.
Welcome to T4, most balanced tier and most abadoned.
I’ve never gotten matches like this, although, I do get rank 9s while flying my fox, which pisses me off!
