I would really like to see a game Lobby that dont throw you into some random maps with random people.
When you start a game it should open a lobby where you can choose a map and a mode and wait for people to join.
This way people get better contact because they can chat b4 game and there will never be 6v8 games again or unbalanced games.
While youre in lobby you should be able to change mech.

This is my suggestion.

No. Because random maps are too important to make people drive balanced builds. If maps could be chosen, this game would have to be renamed to Cheesewarrior Online. Also, for the same reason, you should not be able to change the Mech as soon you know which map it will be.

I would like to have a pre-game lobby though to wait til really only 8vs8 matches occur. Teams who are one or two people short could simply refrain from starting the match.

A nicely reworked random calculator combined with my suggested score system would probably do the same job. How often do i end up on the same map 6 or more times in a row...

Look up your Map stats. With mine, since they have been introduced, I was on every map at least 12, but not more than 17 times. That's absolutely random.
Show your stats on that, or it didn't happen.

I have played on each map equal games but the point was that it repead the same map again and again untill it changes to another.On the paper it looks random but in reality its a bit annoying.

This is things that will simply happen.
Did you never get 3 times the same number in a row when throwing dice?

Some people need to retake their math classes. You don't understand what "random" means.

[Aim-Bot]

No reasing to be insulting thats not the aim of the topic and try to role 7 times in a row the same number.

I am not insulting you, I just told you that you need to look up in a book what "random" means.
If you feel insulted for someone telling you that you use a word wrong, then that's your problem.

This is easily correted for, by havinng the option to select a random map in the lobby, or lock mech choice by vote. Or simply increase rewards for random maps/locked mechs. That way you can either risk dropping with your slow bravler into Alpine an cash in if you get it to work for you, or choose a mech apropriate to your needs.
I wouln´t allow mechlab changes in the loby, just picking of mechs. So you can hop into a weight class your team sorely misses.

We're getting this. Its called "dropship mode" as instead of the multiple mech mutator we were told dropship mode would be, its turned into that instead.

map selection is all but necessary in CW. Whats the explanation for why when you enter orbot your nabigation computer explodes and your dropship falls from orbit like this:


That would be incredibly stupid and pretty much be the final nail in the coffin for this game for me really
