In a competitive endeavor if a person does not succeed at least about 1/3 of the time they will cease attempting to try. The matchmaking is based upon sound psychological information.

Or at least play them long enough to grind past them. Otherwise, were you always playing your Tier V ship against only other Tier V ships then people would quickly realize which Tier V ships are the best and not play many others.īut by matching average T-VII ships against average T-VI ships people will continue to play the average T-VII ships. Once you leave protected matchmaking (which I believe is after about 200 matches) and unless you are playing Tier X then you will be bottom tier about 1/3 of your matches, middle tier about 1/3 of your matches and top tier ONLY 1/3 of your matches.Īnd a certain percentage of the time you are top tier you will be in a single tier with no lower tiers.
