But thats the thing. I have waited 5 mins too and i changed deck because i was pretty sure i was going to play the same player. And i got the same player for a 3rd time and after that i waited again and played with him a 4th time. Thats why im saying it must be a balancing trick. Or maybe they are creating rivals?😆
That's weird... The Deck change might be one reason why you get him again. That's a thing happens to me from time to time while both are within ~100 points if I beat an opponent with GDI he got the -xx points and switch sides it's pretty safe I get the same while he might be closer to Nod now.
But after that a 4th time - OMG.

So I opened a new account. I was in iron or bronze league. I can't remember. Which ever is the first one.
I started the Rivals matches for coin. My opponents were either bots or paid devs. They all had one name handles like Fred, Chad, Tim, ect instead of the creative names we tend to use.
I was creaming them. When I got to either 5 and 0 or 6 and 0, they started bringing out Orca Bombers to get rid of my infantry that I had dominating the pads.
Mind you we were both like level 3 or 4. Very low levels. Orca Bombers aren't unlocked yet for low levels. Guess they didn't want me winning the whole thing and getting all the coins. I don't know. It seemed very strange.
I also faced the same dude 3 times in a row after that. Try it. Open a new account. Don't level up anything. Join a Rivals match and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Hi @Marine_CorporaI,
I want to make sure that I understand this correctly. This happened during the Credit Blitz over the weekend, correct? If that sounds right, then you were at least in Bronze League. This is just so that I understand where you and your opponents are in terms of the ladder.
While you are correct that the Orca Bomber unlocks at a higher level, it was possible to earn cards for it during the Orca Bomber Blitz that came before the Credit Blitz. This means that it is very possible for players around your level to have that unit in their deck. The other thing to remember is that during events, you're matched up against players with similar wins and losses, so as you won games, you were more likely to face stronger opponents, including those who had won the unit from the last event. You can also face relatively new players, which may be why the first few battles seemed so easy 🙂
Matchmaking doesn't try to force players to lose if they win too much, or force you to face the same opponent multiple times in a row. It tries to make the best match that it can based on the matchmaking criteria. Sometimes, that means it matches you with the same opponent.
