Hey fellow Mechos and Mechas,

With the new and "improved" matchmaking, my last couple of matches have 9 out of 10 been onesided slaughterfests, with one side losing 0-1 mech at most.

Take this screenshot for example...



While certainly not the rule, such onesided matches are not rare. I'd say around 25% of my matches are 8:0 stomps. Interesting is, that it seems to get worse, the longer I play with the ELO system in place.

I'm also drifting away from a 50/50 average, with my win/lose ratio falling below 1 and my kill/death ratio climbing towards the 2. Was ELO silently disabled or is it just that bad?


Unfortunatly I did not grab a screenshot of the worst match in the history of MWO. The worst player on the winning team had around 200 damage done, which was 2 times the damage of the entire losing team combined. I wish I would have frapsed it...

I played a match where it was 2 vs 8, but that match only ended 0/2. That count as an Elo fail?

[MoonUnitBeta]

not really a fail, but the amount of people that did 0 damage is unsettling. And one of them was alive the entire game.

Sadly, I took no screenshot, but my worst fail was me and another guy doing over 200dmg each and the rest below 30, with a non-afk D-DC getting 0 dmg. Of course we got slaughtered.

I also experience what the OP described - my K/D ratio is going up while I still lose a lot of matches. Right now I have about 60 losses more than I have wins.

I post a couple of shots but the list could be fairly longer:



Oh and to the OP.. I regularly get in 8-0/8-2 matches or the exact opposite (this usually when I end up matched against 150 or more tons in the other side). I'd say the balanced matches usually are a small fraction of the others.

Imho MM/ELO should account some sort of battlevalue or weighting factor

There is actually an Official Matchmaking Phase 3 discussion thread. It's in the Patch Feedback section, which is a good place to share your off-experiences with the Elo ranking system. I'm going to ask people to bring their Elo feedback there, to the official thread, instead of posting screenshots of you stomping enemy teams due to "matchmaking failures."
