MM complaints... 🤔

[Skrags]

There were a lot more complaints (and actual mismatches) following the introduction of TH11. The changes to the MM in March reduced those mismatches but led to an increase in the viability of engineering, which then introduced a new slew of complaints.

This sums it up very well. December 2015 to March 2016 was mayhem. Post March was much better, until gradually engineering became more widespread (as it was much easier to do).

It actually looks like we are the one with worse MM in last 15 wars we did last 40 days. My visit to many clans showed that people with .5 bases had better advantage than before. However, am not quite sure how it's working for them.

It's true that the forum has seen mixed feedback on the question of .5 bases. That being said, I would suggest the 'majority' of posts on the subject from multiple members have concluded that offensively heavy .5 bases are 'in general' not having the MM advantages they once did.

Note : All our 9.5s have now dropped Infernos!

the only thing ive noticed for certain is that bases with higher offense are matching against higher defense more often than not regardless of their own defense

It's just plain luck, we can have a tremendous advantage in one war then totally outnumbered for two. And mismatches at top position are really frequent.
Seems most clans are making lopsided or whatever the name, with more or less success.

I have same feeling about this.

You are spot on with "offensively heavy .5 bases" not having the MM advantage they once had. I think it's just people who are .5 with heavy offence are the once to have disadvantage. Heavily engineered clans don't have any problems. I wish I could communicate more better writing exactly what I noticed. But am no good at that. Time teaches the trick to everyone anyways.

I still believe top MM is broken unless you are lucky to have certain lineup.

I think it is fair enough. That isn't the question. ( Most fair would be if the details were released )

The question should be if it does a good job or not.

The closer the top half of the roster is matched from both an offensive and defensive perspective determines how fair it is ( Top half, in , both how much offense , and defense respectively. so a minimax goes toward offense )

The focus here is always on engineers, but we constantly see poor matches in which no bases are engineered; leading me to believe that it just doesn't do a great job. ( unless they have a desirable base build to optimize fair matches, but that isnt publicly available ) I suspect they have sacrificed good matching with an effort to match quicker.
