Yeah. Matching is broken and 343/CA/MS don’t even see it as a problem.

yep

but, its not neccesarily a competitive rank, it’s just an experience based rank.
Who’s played the most.

A guy who put 1000 hours in and is rank 200 could be a -Yoinking!- retard.

However it still isn’t really that fair to match them against newbies.

If you’d like counter strategies ask me.

That rank doesn’t mean skill lvl though. Yeah if it’s their first game maybe have the system go easy but after that have it be fair game. Not to mention people can run smurf accounts too, which would be low rank but have very skilled players behind them. Rank does not mean much of anything skill wise. You can steam roll over rank 50s yet get wrecked by a rank 5.

That being said my main account, this one is 4 losses in rank placement so far playing Decimus and only seeing Atriox and the new leader, all 4 used by players already of high CSR rank and running the direct counters to my leader’s strategy

Matchmaking is very broke.

Was 50% win/loss until I started playing ranked. My ranked win/loss is about 10% because I either get paired against 40/50 players or get put on the team of a 2-5 player.

Yes people I know it’s xp and not a rank but it bloody matters, they have level 6-7 cards and mine are 2-4. And no it won’t settle down by playing more, I’m 40 matches in to ranked 2v2 and it’s still rubbish. It’s broken and it needs to be fixed so unit level advantage is evened out. It’s like playing pistols against someone with a rocket launcher and overshield. Or Rochdale v Chelsea!

That’s just wrong. It all comes down to unit levels; a 50 wins 99% of the time against lower xp ranks because their units are match ready. A 5 wins sometimes because they’ve paid to level up their cards to be match ready. That is not how competitive ranked play should work.

i feel that the rank dont mean -Yoink- you can do the story on legendary and get to rank 15 or higher

We are not talking about blitz buddy, it’s nothing more than a glorified mini game

I’m rank 22 and always seem to better every lv 40+ I have played against mainly because with the update they didn’t adjust there play style.

This happens to me almost every match! I made my own post about getting paired up with a rank <10 against 2 rank >40’s. Their units destroy my teammate’s (who half the time doesn’t know what they should be doing because they’re new, it’s not their fault) units even if they both had 1 marine squad the rank 40’s+ marines will come out on top with most of their health still. This is dumb because it’s basically a 1v2 at that point and the enemy units wreck mine (same units with only like half health gone) too as I am only a rank 25. It’s like if I played team war in a 1v2 and never upgraded a thing and they started with everything fully upgraded, it makes no sense. I suggest a system that keeps everyone you are matched with within 5 or 10 ranks of you at all times.
