You know what, keep your **** mechbay.

Im not playing through this snorefest any longer.

Fed up of constantly being on a team that gets steamrolled by about 8 mechs to 0.

[KharnZor]

8 to 0 you say? that's odd, there's 12 mechs per side.

Are you grouping up on TS or solo pugging?

I find it amazing- after a certain point, you can't just blame the team.

And this comes from someone in ELO Hell himself. If you're losing about 5 games to 1 in repeated no-killfests, you're part of Team Scrub, not above it.

OP, I hear ya. Since the stat reset a few weeks back I have been doing really well. 2.5 K/D, 1.7 W/L.

This weekend? I've played 15 games and won 3. Seriously, I hate playing this game during these damn tournament and freebie weekends. I played a match where a guy on our team would've been better off if he had a cat walking across his keyboard. Thermals on Terra Therma....that's how bad it was.

I'm continually at the top of my team, pulling more damage than most of my allies, but nearly every f*cking game ends in defeat. Even the games we have in the bag, the team will ignore objects (like points on Conquest) and we STILL lose. ARGH!

These tournaments bring out the worst players MWO has to offer.

I feel your pain, 5 hours to get 5 wins here, running various medium mechs. Afterwards I logged into an alt account and picked up 5 wins in 6 matches running the Assault trial, wish I would have considered it on this acct.

4:55-5:23 is such a great part. Sky really hits the nail on the head there. It's a lesson a lot of people need to learn.

Haven't we figured out this guy is just a troll by this point? And not even a good one. Sadly, he apparently can't play any better than he can troll.

If you haven't noticed this game just non-stop encourages both KSing ragequit babies and 4 man pubstompers who claim to be "competitive" when they're playing against all pugs in champion mechs.

There is no actual "team" element to this game. On top of that the vast majority has no clue what the hell they're even doing. Everyone is basically a one man army so.

It's simply unplayable if you want to try and take the game seriously until launch module happens which will probably be disastrous too.

He shouldn't have to use third party software and find 3 other people to play with to make the game non-pointless.

That's pgi's job.

think you miss the point, 8-0 stomp in 12v12 game. Obvious troll is obvious, that that is all that need be addressed.

I think the MM is someone else's fault- PGI's.

Truly, I suffer a lot.

No he shouldn't have to use a 3rd party program but its an option atm that's better than nothing.

The underlined is absolute garbage as is what you quoted and you should feel bad

What the OP describes seems a bit on the extreme end, but to be fair I know if I have 3 or 4 great teams in a row PUGging it that around match 5 or 6 its going to turn around and the next 4 or 5 teams I'm on will be stomped into the ground.


It's very swingy.

A lot of things are exceptionally imbalanced in the MM.


Most likely the force multipliers aren't being weighted at all. Especially things like ECM, LRM+TAG/NARC - these are huge force multipliers that can almost decide some PUG matches if they are all lumped onto to one side.

And then there is the general mech weight imbalance as well.

[Felicitatem Parco]

The OP is claiming that winning 1/4-1/6 matches for a single day makes this game terrible.

There is no need to average over time, instantaneous statistics are what really matter.

Yup.

Who needs to integrate fun over time if you can just take a snapshot when the first derivative is negative?
(well, that, and Who needs to take opinions from one of those "I'm uninstalling now" players who keeps playing and providing false gameplay anecdotes?)
