LOVE THIS GAME! BUT MATCHMAKING IS HORRENDOUS!

[Bussa]

Why do I work so hard and invest so much time to be at level 38, only for a level 54 to continuously refresh his or her search by spending 250 coins, to find a player 15 levels lower than themselves?

Its pointless me building a level 38 defense when a level 54 can come and walk through my base and destroy, loot and plunder EVERYTHING! PLEASE MAKE MATCHMAKING with 3-5 levels of each opponent

My guess is that the engine is built to try to find a player closest to you in level, and expands its search criteria dynamically until it finds the most suitable opponent for you. This is how the Clash of Clans matchmaking system works and this looks like it's built off the same Unity principles. There probably isn't the critical mass of players, at this point, needed for you to always find someone that is within a couple levels of you.

But I agree, it's a little irritating to have to scroll through 5-7 possible opponents to either find an easy kill or someone within my nation's level. It's especially irritating to have someone dozens of levels ahead of me stomp through and steal a significant amount of resources. Because the way peace treaties are set up, it almost seems like a system that may inadvertently scam players into buying crowns.

Either way, I've settled into building my nation as much as I can and focusing resources on that, hoping that, with bug fixes and new players a couple of weeks from now, this won't be as big a problem.

Couldn't have said it better...I hope as the community expands, matchmaking levels off....realllly frustrating at this point.

Match making is finding the opponent of your medal, and that's the only criteria. Just like any other rank related games like LOL or COC
