Seriously? Still getting matches like this? I mean, how unfair can that be, 8 mechs vs 5 when even one dead mech is a serious handcap?







Just kidding, maybe it works:

Nothing against the other team mind, it was bloody good fun! ;)

People crash on load all the time. Also, for those who remove maps from their files, it will match them with a group but fail to load them just like that. I bet that you had a pair of guys queued up together who both removed caustic from their game files.

I really wish they'd implement a simple file check into the game...

Had a win like this back in the day, 5v8 on Caustic and we even took the first casualties. Chat was lit up and we stayed frosty. Had 3 mechs left at the end, that probably totaled 75% of one single mech parts. Winning that was glorious.

not sure what 5 vs 8 has to do with elo... (nothing actually)

but yeah i have seen more disconnects the past couple weeks. could be partially due to the map bypass bug, but i have not really paid attention to the maps.

Had a 6 vs 8 the other day. The scoreboard doesn't show that (as they killed the afk guy). We stomped the crap out of them as we still had 4 mechs when their last man went down.

If Elo wants to set up 5 pros vs the 8 worst mech warriors ever I could see that being a semi fair match.

There has always been uneven drops. You can't blame Elo for this.

Of course I can. I might not be right, but that doesn't stop me.

I can blame it on the cycle of the moon if I wish.

Not an elo issue, connectivity or people abusing the file structure of MWO.
