EA Staff (Retired)Please, for the love of god, fix matchmaking already. This game is already horribly unbalanced with the difference in unit types that makes this more of a game of rock, paper, scissors than a decent rts. It is not helped that progression is both random luck of the draw AND locked behind leveling through earning points through wins. Points that are a lot harder to earn when people are consistently matched with those ranks above them.
Look I don't expect to win every match, but I don't expect to loose several games in a row either. It would one thing if I was just being outplayed by good strategy, but more often than not it's because I'm being outclassed.
This game is broken in ways that almost feels like its encouraging the use of a microtransactions to speed up progression and gain whatever advantage one can. If these are not fixed by the time the game fully launches then I'm done. I'm not going bother broken game where people can pay to win.
I'm sure others have already lost patience with how the progression system works and quit, expect many more to drop because they can't rank up and unlock cards from losing match after match.
I definitely fear for what will happen when we are able to put down money for this game. There will always be people who will put down a ton of money and run roughshod over those who can't afford to pay to win.
EA, maybe the game should just be a one-time payment? Just charge us 5 bucks for the game and call it a day. You're going to have endless complaints about pay-to-win on your hands.
