I tend to agree. Apparently this is a known issue with the matchmaking and should be ironed out in the next few weeks. Easiest way to game the system right now is to queue up with friends, all in assaults. The matchmaking probably won't find enough assaults for the other team so you get a weight imbalance.

Couldn't disagree more. Considering the damage that a well-played light can do, the weight disparity means a lot less than a large skill disparity, imo.

Well "skill" plays it's part, but what if they have 5 lights on Alpine Valley conquest and you have 3 atlases, 2 slow heavies, and some slow mediums?

Well, if lights weren't so difficult to kill, you'd just station 1-2 mechs on each point, and every time a light blob hit one they'd kill or nearly kill one of said lights, plus holding them off.

If I am outbrawled by superior weight, I didn't lose because of my accuracy or because of their flank or because of their ability to disrupt my formation, no I lost 'cus they had a bunch of atlases and I didn't.
Unless the playing field is even the victor cannot claim to have superior skill, because the loser can always say that he only lost because of the discrepencies in weight distribution. When the weight is even there is no reason for defeat except being a worse mechwarrior and you have to face it.

I wouldn't mind if ELO put more emphasis on weight distribution and ECM among both teams. Other than that, it seems to be working fine, though it takes a large number of matches to get you dialed in.

I propose the Dragon gets ECM. All 3 variants.

I'll just point out that we had 1 ECM mech (a commando) and they had a team full of long-range power including LRMs and Gauss.
Now since winning by cap requires splitting up, the enemy had a good chance (and used it) to just pelt us with long ranged fire.
Caustic really isn't all that big, especially when the enemy holds Theta.
