This will be long, bare with me. I have done a documented trial on the game as of yesterday (just after @ManannanTuathaDe comment) and my suspicions have been confirmed.

So during a 2-3hour window of dedicated playing. This is what unfolded. I was running my usual strong hanger lv8's with almost lv9 weapons, sitting on the 350K-400K avg damage, 3.2-4 robots kills and a win rate of 58-64%. Not always a win and not always placing in the win gold section (top 3 finishes)

So with pen & paper I tallied up 50battles using lv1 junk robots with lv1 junk weopons (Cossack I threw tumbs on) Every match I would use Cossack and go for a minimum of 1-2 beacons until Cossack was killed, me getting off the odd tumb payload fired. Then I would leave battle and quit X 50 times. Approx an hour, I didn't actually record time.

New avg was now reading .7 robots killed, 72K damage and win rate of 32%. So basically a useless player :-).

Has to be said during the drop around 30 matches dumped, I was seeing similar robots to me now. So no more unfair robots vs me.

Now with my new crap "Elo rating" I put my strong hanger on. Which is carnage, rhino, Galahad & Leo. Weopons lv8 to 9. My matchups were STILL crap robots, so on my 2nd battle I managed 1.1million damage with 12 kills alone. As these Pattons etc were no match for a double thunder on carnage let alone Galahad exploiting the 350 range. This went on for up to 20-30 battles, me finishing on top without fail farming 300 gold easily in that duration. I did happen to come across the odd player packing serious heat just like me, as in he is doing this before I did. His stats were bad deliberately so he could exploit this.

My point is..... This is worse than gep seal clubbing. As hanger load out now has no bearing at all on matchup. Which is why I struggle to finish top 3 when lv12 robots play with their figures deliberately to dominate the 3-400K avg battle damage area. These poor weaker players got absolutely reamed by my dominate robots for that Elo rating, totally unfair for them & me actually making fast progress with gold now, so as to upgrade & do better.

At least with gep seal clubbing in the past the stats were never this bad based on a matchup. I'd rather see the old system back in place. And place a tier jump on running Geps (just like Gareth gets)

I'd rather more FAIR FIGHTS, over "why bother playing if u manage a gold placing once out of 12 matches" that is too slow to progress and accomplish achievements.

Your thoughts are welcome. Ps- I was back to where I started after that total domination after 35 battles.
