I was playing yesterday and i found that it was hard for me to get into a game because my win ratio made many games "unfair". I have played a grand total of 9 games this war and i have won 8 of them giving me a win percentage of 89%. I personally believe the win percentage overstates my skill and it forces me to only play games with people with low win percentages. Some thing needs to be done either increase the percentage difference two teams can have or get rid of the win percentages completely.

welcome to the beautiful world of ANTS.
the max. difference is 30% at the moment.
as stupid as it may sound, just team up with somebody whos "crap"(<30%) and that should get your total in the area of around 60%, shouldnt be to hard to find a game then.
or do 3v3, there itll also work with people around 50(50+50+90/3=~63).

yes u could team up with a player with a lower win percentage but as i said 89% wins overrates me which causes me to play with a team th is weaker then two people with 60 percent win ratios. Another problem with the percentage system is there are few allies that have win percentages of high enough to make "fair" games. |

This is where a rating system that factors in Veterency, CPs, and RBs will help solve the problem. At only 9 games played, you should have less of all three of those and therefore your overall rating should be adjusted down.
We should have "challenge ratings" like in D&D. Apex's KT is CR 14

You see a guy sitting in a 3v3 with a 0% win ratio, join. Bang, you get a game np and ANTS does what it intended.
If i wanted to i expect i could get a win/loss in the upper 80s by avoiding newb team mates.

I realize that it is going to be corrected in 2.0(hopefully removed), but can we get some kind of quick patch for now? The playerbase is too small to support this kind of ranking system. Even in CoH automatch it will attempt to match you, but after a while it will just give up and let you play.
I'd rather be playing against the big time fat cats than not playing at all.

Seconded. I'd prefer a game with people of like skill, for a close match, but I have no problem rubbing up against the higher ranked players if it means I get a game and get whooped, it's still better than no game.
The flipside is a lot of new players don't share the gritty attitude where if they get rolled they come back for more.... hard to balance.
