I see lots of terribads there....

It's not the players. I usually range from 400 to 900 points but the Clan weapons put soo much DPS down field that just taking a peek is usually a fatal mistake.

What is happening?

Whenever I play with my clanmates and take an IS 'mech and they take Clan ones, I'm regularly outscoring them. What gives? Is it these guys?



I saw them in my dreams...



I think... I somehow recall... NO! NO! DO NOT THINK IT, BLASTMAN! AAHHHHHH!


Have I? Could I? Was I? Implanted? No! My head hurts! This isn't happening! It is all a dream! NO!

I have ten seconds to comply!




Yes, Sir. YES SIR! I, I, will comply. CLANNERS ARE KILLING ALL MY IS 'mechs. They have set us up the bomb. Make your time! Ahhhhhhhhh!



Maybe it was all a dream. Maybe...

Happend quite a few times today. Looks like this:

This match was a 12vs12 premade match?

[Bilbo]

They always do this when I can't play.

Russ just tweeted that as of next patch, each person will only be able to bring 1 strike, so that may reduce the number per match by a bit.

not going to need this... i am not playing food for clan mechs in unbalanced matches

i wonder how that match statistics are going to be explained by those people claiming that clan mechs are in no way more powerful than IS mechs rofl.
probably that all IS mech pilots are noobs that need to learn to play

nope, pure PUG.

[SethAbercromby]

I've not really been experiencing such extremes. Solo dropping with my YLW, I've actually been winning more matches than I've been losing the last few days and some of those I had teams with only 2 or 3 Clan 'Mechs.

The groups drops I've been participating in aren't really much of anything. We've always dropped mixed but even then, our IS 'Mechs didn't perform sub-par.

[Tharnes]

The balance is completely broken currently. There are teams full of Timbers running around, alphastriking the IS mechs to shreds, they just don't overheat enough.
60€ give you a guaranteed 600+ damage, no matter how bad you play the clan heavys/assaults. This is pure p2w, no excuse for it.

We need massive nerfs for clans and/or harsh matchmaking, more than 1-2 clan are overkill in any team.

pugs..pure pugs it seems....all 3 of my matches were pugs...

[Charronn]

On the basis of the games I have played on both sides,Clan is op as **** vs IS.12-1,12-0 etc etc.
IS mechs need a buff.

That is when they had a mix, players would target the more dangerous Clan mechs before attacking IS mechs. With IS vs Clan there are no Clan mechs to absorb hits.

I think it is just bads vs bads and the IS doods aren't taking viable builds.

I am solo dropping all the time and it was ALWAYS mixed. I need to see it to believe it.

I started playing this a few weeks ago and most new players have IS mechs, pretty much? It's not fun at all right now, tell me when the rather unfair matchmaking goes away and I might play again.
I was even able to get a whole evening to play for the first time in ages then this happens and every single game now, practically instagibbed.

I am not scared..... just got stomped in a match.... but I did kill a clan timber :-) I like unbeatable odds, it hones my skills faster as a pilot. To hell with the clans... until timber comes out for C-bills of course ;-)

I know for a fact that's not the case. I just got out of a IS VS IS match, 9 players failed to reach the very small 200 damage mark.

3/4s of the team failed to get 200 damage. In the WubShee, on Alpine Peaks, I got 953 damage without any consumables....


It's not the mechs, it's the terribads due to the matchmaker.

Exactly, in normal pugs the number of clans in each team is the only decisive factor of the game.
Games with extreme clan stacks end in total-stomps, which happens all the time right now.

[Budor]

They did well given the subpar chassi and our p2w setup:

[Bromineberry]

The last game has been a pure IS vs IS game. It was quite close.

I'm wondering, if PGI is doing this on purpose to take a look, at how the match maker ELO-wise works...

Come on, don't find excuses. Bad players cause stomps, not certain mechs.
