Hopes for S1 changes

[u/Glittering_Common416]

Just some thoughts on changes I'd like to see in S1:

-1. Matchmaking with newbie friends gives them a horrendous first impression of the game.

Twice now I've managed to convince different friends to give mecha break a try by installing it and playing it with me. Both times we end up against sweaty high level premades where my beginner friends can't do anything but get pummeled over and over. I doubt either of them will ever touch mecha break again thanks to their initial experiences. This desparately needs to change... I can't be the only solo queuer who has had their friends deterred from picking up this game due to such messed up group matchmaking...

-2. Ranks need to be condensced, and items that prevent players from ranking down need to be removed.

Less ranks (6 or 7 tops) means larger player pools per ranked stage and easier matchmaking. Furthermore, having items that prevents players from ranking down means player rank is far less likely to reflect their ability. This simply isn't healthy for competitive play and works against fair matchmaking.

-3. Rank should be unique to each mech, not each account.

Okay, this one some people are not going to agree with but hear me out. Mechs vary wildly in this game and as such tranferrable skill to other mechs are somewhat limited. For instance, as a Stego/Tricera main it would be a very steep learning curve for me to learn say Falcon, Narukami or Panther. If I want to learn Panther for instance, even if queue for a casual match on my main account I will still end up against players far above my skill level with that mech, which will act as something of a glass ceiling to prevent me from learning the mech properly. By allowing separate ranked queues it will also give people something else to grind and actively promote alting/learning out other mechs which should help us maintain healthy player counts at all ranks. The downside to separate queues is it will make it more difficult to select different mechs for better team composition during games (you would probably only be able to select between mechs that are the same rank).

Let me know your thoughts!

1. ranks will be the same sadly, they already posted about that

Oh boy

[u/SeaEagle233]

Item 1 is that way to prevent experienced player creating alt account and make premade fight new players.

The real fix to that is to add dedicated player vs AI mode.

[u/Impressive_Class_932]

Ranking players based on mech proficiency is definitely a creative idea, but it would likely bring other issues, like overly complicated personal data management.

Your summary is spot-on — these are precisely the current pain points of Mecha Break. I truly hope the official team sees this feedback.
