I actually enjoy the new matchmaking, sure I don't earn as much gold as before but the battle itself has been a lot more intense and challenging. It forces you to think and consider the capability of different bots and weaponry. If you still upgrading your bot & weapon but insist on becoming a brawler then prepare to be outmech in the middle of the game.

On the old MM system, my weapon has always been level 9 and my bot's level varies. If i want to earn more gold and stroke my ego, then I use level 4 gepards and Rogs (still ends up in Silver btw). This absolutely does nothing with my situational awareness skill, you just steamrolled the opponent with the stronger weapons.

On the new system, I can still use Gepards and Rog, but I'm not expecting them to last throughout the game. It still is fun dodging and jumping around maxed out bot and trolling them with aphids. It forces me to change the lineup of my bots to match the opponent and most importantly your playing style. I'm slowly leveling up my bots to the weapon's level.

I believe my piloting skills and in-game engagement has increased due to the new MM throwing top tier bots at me as an opponent and whatever Pixo is planning, I say bring it on.
