It's gotta be better than it was though right?

[EmeraldSongbird]

I am no one then, so is everyone I match up with.

[Roland]

So you are suggesting that the matchmaking with Elo is somehow worse for new players?
How is that?

Your mech should have a pistol with giant sandalwood grips

[Kiiyor]

I don't see it.

I've talked to a few new players who like it, having explained to them that MWO has a steeper learning curve than most shooters.

Maybe your ELO is screwed up.

But is it cheese?

Hmm. Good point.

MM3 needs more cheese for newbies. How about it throws a high level cheese raid boss into random matches?

How does a bitter vet whose noob bashing, pugstomping premade groups raised his Elo far above where it belongs and is now losing every round know anything about the new player experience? Your gold tag means you aren't a new player or even remotely close to one.

[Nonoka]

So.. you are upset that you can't win a match, with top kills, while making a sandwich, and watching Jersey Shore.

Yeah, COD is over THAT way----->

Not a new player.

Attempting to speak from a new player viewpoint.

What?

[p4r4g0n]

Made an alt account to test Elo when it first went live before the tournament, not seeing the problem the OP is posting about. Played 5, won 2 lost 3. Need to re-test this post-tournament though.

That is an incredibly different experience from when I started in November '12. Granted there were the 8 man groups, no cadet bonus, etc at that time but still an approximately 1:1 win / loss experience is pretty damn good.

Edit: However, it has to be said that the New Player Experience still needs an in-game tutorial and until this is implemented, it will not be an optimal NPE.

I have been having more enjoyable matches sense elo starting taking effect. I may be dropped with players who may poor tactical decisions from time to time, but they are in no way completely incompetent.

On the flip side those new players are not being stomped by people like me who have been player mechwarrior for ever.

[Livewyr]

Guess how many Trial mechs I've run into since the ELO MM...?
Zero. Not ONE brand-spankin newbie since ELO actually started. Good games since.

Maybe it's you?

Oh and who are you? A professional multi-media game marketer? No, your a tiny child upset at everything because its the internet, and no real person is there to shove a fist down your throat for being such an *****.

Go troll another forums and leave this to the adults.

Think smbdy here liked to kill all the new players too much. ELO now places him vs more experienced players and live turned hell.

[Livewyr]

Groups up 4mans > PUGstomps newbies with no effort > gets comfy = ELO arrives > Groups up 4mans > wades brazenly into enemy > dies in 2.3 seconds. >> WTF happened? = Stupid ELO.

[Steven Dixon]

I got my brother to play a little before Elo was introduced and even though he's a bit MW fan he didn't like all the pugstomps and almost quit, I convinced him to play again after the patch and he loves it. So its working for at least 1 new player.

A lot of the people that are complaining about Elo aren't new players but old players, especially ones that have a very high W/L ratio. These players are now paired against others of their skill or other premades or people using cheese builds and they are having much less fun. Basically they are experiencing what everyone else was experiencing before. This might not be the OPs case, but I'm not sure what his argument exactly is as he wasn't too specific.

Not a fan of the matchmaking, too. My team has no assaults and the enemy team has 3. Really?
