Well if u see it that way I had hell today in bonds...im 85k and with me was a friend with 55k and all we got was 80k-85k, 90k-95k and so on so when I saw 130k-105k against us im like ok lets just quit the matching cant be worse...ok im 95 level but my friend was 80 level..but this guys were all over 90 level.

The power difference between you and your partner need to be at most a 5k-10k difference. As for levels, 2-3 levels at most. From all the matches I've had, none have been a fair and even match. I'm 87, and so far i've fought uneven couples of 95 with 81, or 92 with 80. The gesture of helping someone weaker is good at all, but it's still unfair to those really working for their rewards as opposed to the weaker ones having a free ride.

The bonds match making is terrible. I'm lvl 77 and have around 30k power, but i normally get matched with ppl who have 40k power

ppl complaining about matching 5-10k diference when i meet 100k+ 2 times in a row (same guys) the sistem is flawed but since its at the begining we need to have patience and hope it will get tweaked

dont edit fix the problem u bum

So I just did a fight with a level 79 Teammate, with me at 73, and our opponents were level 93 and level 86 at 60k and 50k power each. Literally every fight I've had has one or more opponents being 10-20k power higher.

The matchmaking for this mode is absolute garbage.

litterally all ive been getting lmfao this is aids

one 100k guy that carries a 20k guy will have close to no chance to win against two 70/80k guys well paired.

Yeah, someone within their own level, 90+ levels.

What i'm talking about are people way below them - somewhat. This is an example, me and my friend are both lvl 87 and average around 50-51k power. We're about even. In this picture, not only were we matched against uneven level patterns, but the lvl 86 had 30k power, while the 95 - capped level mind you, have around 85k power. Ontop of that used a bitersweet team to make the tides more in their favor. The battle was a struggle, but in the end his overall initiative and power advantage won him and his underpowered friend a free win. It's unfair.

I'd definitely want it if the power system in the decisive bonds will be changed the same way as arena. Even so, players would still complain about the initiative gap, smh.

I care little about the initiative gap, that can be worked around with proper planning and strategy. What I do mind is the power gap. It's hard to stop getting nuked by someone with 100k power and unable to fight back. As I suggested, there should be a power gap requirement for you and your tag partner. So far match after match our opponents are placed with higher people.

So I spent 2 hours not being able to get a match and then the moment Bond decides to work and stop this retreat nonsense, it's over.

This is nonsense.

Decisive bonds is great. But the match making is just garbage and the fact that the system is messed up -keeps on saying "the opponents retreated," makes it even worse. I hope there is way to make the matching system more even so you don't get matched with someone who has 10k+ more power than you.

I agree Bonds was a great and innovative way to bring together competitive PvP and people alike, but it's botched by the poor match making as you said. I hope sometime in the future this could be resolved. Even if theres others portions of this event people will complain about, it'll atleast remove the bigger part of the issue.

Having 100k won't be a guaranteed win. Ran into 145k +115 k and lost to two 90k players when i was 73k and other guy was 120k. Bond event is all about luck.

I fought against memorythepast :/

Guys..Try clearing the cache for the "Retreat" issue...It worked for me..

One of my members sent us this, its beyond a 100k with a 20k, its just wrong that have lvl 94-93 against 88-83 who arent even at 50k power.

Something must change fast, like Bring the Clusters into play so it lower than chances of that kind of things happening, even myself i fight people from S1-3 or some 150k+ while im from the 400~ and half of their power.

Yeah, this is becoming yet another event i'm not even going to even go into. The rewards aren't worth the suffering you go through for them. Every match so far has been against people within 93+ range and 70k+ power. It's horrible, that and players shamelessly carrying their friends who're way weaker than them for free rewards.
