Yes, the matchmaking algorithm in this game is crap. It was designed to deliver fast results, not good results. And therefore we get crappy matchups very often.

Also, your units are underlevelled for Master League.

  • Fully fully fully fully agreeeeeeee!

    I’m in exact same boat. Especially around rivals races. Lost many a night’s sleep. And what’s worse is they end the race deliberately during my sleep time so I wake up and haven’t won. 

    Ive posted this problem on another thread. 

    Such BS. 

  • Are all these harder players in your league? If so, you cannot really complain. When I make it to Masters league, in the very beginning, I face players with level 9 units. After being halfway out of Masters 1 and on my way to Masters 2, I start facing players with level 12’s. Why? There are no level 9’s that far up the ladder. They are very far and few in between.  My medal count now equals players that are higher up the ladder in Masters league. 


    Once you understand how the ladder system works, you will not complain anymore. It used to bother me but I since I climb the ladder and start over from scratch often, I began to see how it actually works.

    The problem is MarineCPL is you reach your tier equilibrium point in about a week. Where the tier is what matters and nothing to do with skill. So for the next two weeks you sit at 50/50 winrate until players have enough to upgrade and move up to higher levels. The problem is EVERYONE is slowly doing this. So much so each season is just stagnant. The game is stagnant. No matter which way you look at it. And we all go insane each day and try not to throw the phone at the wall. I know I certainly should quit the game. It’s causing anger, frustration and they suckered is in like a drug addiction. So well done EA for creating such an addictive game. There’s a paywall. But it’s not P2W. But eventually players need to pay to get over their addiction. It’s a great little game. But one day I’ve gotta give it up. It gives me Tourette’s! 😂
