Exploding Penguin -> RE: Underdog mode change (12/5/2016 16:08:12)

To make matchmaking more strict on equality more players are needed. There just aren't enough right now to have fair matchmaking without the waiting times being really, really long. There are a couple solutions to this but the one I'd favor the most myself is probably just making it a lot easier to hit the level cap sooner, which is what happened this update. The way it was executed isn't really the most optimal in my mind, but it was definitely a step towards it. As it stands it is literally impossible for underdog mode to ever make battles fair. Whoever is the higher level/rank will always have more independence and choice in how they want to craft their build with the stat enhancements from the level/rank advantage. Even if you exactly mirrored the buffs the opponent has from their advantage over you, it still wouldn't make the fight equal since your build isn't designed to fit with those enhancements but theirs supposedly is. Underdog is to make the fights more winnable, not fair. I don't really like the idea of battles not being fair based entirely off of playtime, but that's how this game has been since day 1 of its release and I don't anticipate it changing anytime soon.
