I raised my case several times so it will be my last for now. If the editor follow this thread, please read this, this is the opinion of a fairly new, and serious player (serious => I think I played quite well overall).

People say seal clubbers were bad. Yeah they were, but they were occasional really, when I started, most of the robots were on my level. Seeing the occasional guepard/mags guepard/aphid facing me was giving an occasional challenge, that's it. Sometimes you had one per team, and that was even quite fun to see, really. I still had a fair chance to get gold, and I did, overall skills were rewarding. I had a clear goal, getting gold to finally buy a guepard and compete better. I just did it, recently. Too bad, it happens to be a total waste of gold, considering the change of MM.

Now I constantly face Lancelots, Carnages, Furies and so on, with weapons upgraded that I am not even close to be able to pay for myself. I gave an example below, I was the ONLY guy on the field with average hangar, surrounded by level 30 players with the very best robots and weapons. Where is the fun here really ? I get smashed constantly. Finishing in the middle of my team is already quite a feet, and I have absolutely ZERO chance to get gold. Sorry but this system is allowing rich to get richer, and new players like me are just serving as a cannon fooder out there.

Please editor. Fix this because it's really terrible.

A good MM should not be that hard really, calculate the value of the best robot on the hangar, and group from there. 1 gold is worth 1'000 silver (just an example), 1 WSP is worth 100 silver, you do the average of all bots, and here you go, you have a category. This way the fight will be fairly even, and SKILLS will matter. Like it did in the past.

Right now sorry but skills really don't matter. In the past I was already often matched with better "entry level bots" (Guepard) but I could still hold my own and do good more often than not. For what result ? Facing bots much stronger now and smashing me, again and again.

I loved this game but it's really hard to keep motivation here. I hope something will be done to reward skills, and help fairly new players like me. It's totally the opposite which has been done. Strong bots crush new players, and get even more gold than what they have already. That's not at all what a good MM should do, really.
