Can’t compete, snap IS pay to win!
I was doing just fine through the first 100 ranks, but once I hit 100 and started playing for snap points my win rate has dropped to nothing. I just started playing month or so ago and don’t have lots of power cards. Every game I play is Aloith or whatever its name is or the new green winged guy that starts with an A. No matter what I can put together, I just can’t compete against these people with all the cards. Why does snap not have better matchmaking ? You can match players up based on how long they’ve been playing the game. How can someone like myself compete with someone that’s played for years and has lots more cards? My win rate now is “maybe” one win out of 10-15 games. It’s totally made me want to uninstall the game. I really loved it when I started, but not now. This matchmaking needs fixed if you plan on keeping new customer base!

Welcome to the big boys league. Once you hit Infinite you are fair game, as no more bots will be feeding you cubes and you start playing exclusively against real players. If you want to be matched against players of the same CL you can always play the lower stages of Conquest.

I definitely want to be matched with players with same CL! Why would I want to keep fighting and losing to people with all the cards? Just because I hit infinite, shouldn’t mean the matchmaking should change. I’m an avid CCG player. Started playing MTG way back in 1993 in Beta and always considered myself to be a great thinker when it comes to card games, but once I hit infinite, it’s not based on skill, luck or how well you built a deck when someone else has hundreds more cards than you. I think I’m just gonna tank and snap to lose a ton of games to get matched better next season.

Hitting infinite is not as amazing as most people think, yes you are in a tank full of sharks but at least you can play proper mind games with people of this level. Also there is no longer any stigma about cubes you don't feel stressed how many levels a snap will send you back. You get to have fun in a way with trying out stuff.

On the flip side yes, there is nothing much else to do outside of conquest or quick play. But that's what we sign up for on the front page, playing a card game vs ppl. Its not very diff than chess dot com. Its unrealistic to think that someone on my level off skill of chess can beat Magnussen. Likewise in Snap you start the real ladder.

Normally its far more stressful when you have to watch your cubes, when you get to infinite you should no longer care unless you wanna enter tournaments, one can't make a gold medalist out of every person who enters a sports club.

EDIT: On a further note its really hard to get past the Infinite line unless you have atleast 2/3s of pool 3 cards, sure someone might get lucky but the general idea is to be at least collection ready. Its not like the climb has any much more diff cards, more likely its the monthly cards that enter the pool that are overshadowing to new or free to play players but the majority of them have a counter play. Excluding some broken cards like Loki or Prof X

Tanking your MMR is not gonna help, as they took a snapshot when you entered Infinite and this is the reference (lowest possible) point, at which you will start after reset.

literally cant spend hundreds to just get all the cards day 1 like in something like MTG. Game is anything but P2W sorry its not working for you but you dont get to scream "P2W NOT FAIR" when its not true

Though I am probably alone in this take because people get very defensive about their spending habits. I want to be clear. I am not telling people what they should do with their money.

They need to wake up and educate themselves on gacha, wish development. It is becoming a gambling epidemic in the US. Whether its Plarium, Scopely, SD, doesn't matter, you waste your hard earn pay on illusionary things, it is on you. Don't blame them. They merely take advantage like any gambling casino, of taking your money on the thousands of gambling branded machines created just to do that.

That being said, I want to be clear. I agree with Silence on his one point. It is NOT p2w.

However in playing free, you will be at a disadvantage in two ways. The game is much harder now in resource hoarding that when it first launched. It will not reward you enough gold and tokens to build your collections at an even pace. You must have tremendous patience in grinding in this game. You hear this in every battle pass, gacha game of warnings of play free, do your dailies, be smart with your resources and people do not listen. Their resource stinginess is paralyzing, but if you take a step back. What are you truly spending money on?
That is by design to keep you in the game and it will get worse if you don't know what your doing.

Second, because collection variants are random. You will not have certain cards that another player on your collection level has, if he did purchase.
That does not mean he or she, is at an advantage, player skill does count here. Understanding the full scope of the game matters. Location knowledge, card abilities, what combinations and cards are stronger than others, understanding the percentages of a 6 turn game and so on.

Gacha Games will continue to be on the rise as development companies see endless revenue sources in attracting you to a brand with fomo elements. It is not the old release a game at 40 bucks to play endlessly in your video collection. More and more are resorting to this kind of release method.

Play the game free, or don't play. Ask yourself why are you playing. I hear this all the time.

I like collection card games
I like competitiveness, I want to win,
I want to have fun without a clue of how the game is delivered to you.

Are you playing to have fun? Or playing to collect fake things? To win at all costs?
If you pay in this game that is your choice. It does not mean you don't understand what the game is or how to play it. I am speaking of NEWER players or players that have in this game a short time where this kind of 'rage' post is jumping to the wrong conclusion that if he had played for a long would not have even posted such a topic.

Only you can answer that, but play free or live with the consequences. :dwarven:

Peace :Garrison:

Nah...game is not P2W.This game is everything and anything but it isnt P2W. What is P2W,well to be P2W u need to have option to buy cards,but i dont have any knowlage that Marvel Snap has that option,or will ever have. This dude is frustrated as hell and in that frustration and lack of facts calls Marvel Snap P2W becuase he dont have all cards after 1 month playing a game.SHEEEESHHHH DUDE,calm down,dont be frustrated clown,no one here at this forum,or Marvel snap community got all cards at 1 month.Its normal to get rekt after reaching Infinitive rank,what do u expect,to reach top100 and keep wining with Claw + Onslaught combo all the way...LOL. iF u like this game u will invest time and patience in it and work ur way up,thats only curency u will ever need in this game,if u are frustrated,well pls do urself favor and quit game,go play Master duel,Heartstone whatever has option to give u all cards and skip the begining that Marvel Snap has.I know that sometimes its annoying that u want to play something u saw at YT ,Twich or meta report,and that instad geting for example Death( u like destroy) u pull a Human Torch and u know that u are not movment lover,yeah that sucks,but we all was in ur boots and its normal.Play game,or leave it,Earth will keep rotating,and Sun will rise at East,just dont spill nonsense like "MARVEL SNAP IS P2W,I KNOW I PLAYED IT 10 DAYS", u just apear to be in best hand funny.Take it (as everyone at begining did) or leave it,ur choice.Wish u all the best.Peace.

Yeah Yoki, Annie is having a nice week for sure. :Garrison:

Yeah, alioth is broken, the power nerf just kept him at bay for few days. He will get the nerf hammer since his days of being in spotlight are possibly over.
Annie is alright, he is annoying, but destroy decks just ♥♥♥♥ on him and a few cards do exist to counter him.
As for you reaching infinite, just play the game for fun or dailies, ever since I reached infinite for the first time, I just play for fun, lockdown does annoy me at times, but other than that, I don't care bout infinite rank cuz it just has no real incentive.

I do think the infinite matchmaking system is a bit polarizing. So OP I'd suggest if you are at a lower CL with not so many cards, just try to stay until 100 next season. After you hit infinite the game throws you into the lions den. That doesn't mean that everyone in infinite has paid for their cards, could just mean they have been playing longer which itself is already a disadvantage for you.

You are infinite rank like free to play... so in this game you can win also if you don't buy
webmetalreese Nov 26, 2023 @ 12:13am 
I'm collection complete almost CL 9200 and I've never reached infinite and truthfully don't want to.

If you manage to stay below the 100 line then you can actually play and have fun because it's not all the same decks and the bored players who hit infinite on day one season start and now have a month to sit and think about how to entertain themselves. SD gave them some number that is online so that they can go there and see it and think "I'm good" or "IM NUMBA 1" but in all reality math is hard, so play a dinsaur and then kill it with a lady wolverine or invisible woman a ghost card into the location that gives Djinns.

Either way or any way - not p2w since there is nothing to win.

Goes into the highest possible rank there is.

" sure the players there wont play their best decks"

Or against real players using bots to farm. Dumpest infinite is full of them
