*Title is suppose to be "Against"

So I'm tired of the meta game of ECM and mechs that are tweaked to the ultimate.

I was thinking about just making a new account and playing purely trial mechs.

Is that viable at all? Did the matchmaker do it's job and I'll be playing against similar setups?

Or am I just going to be that 1 guy in a trial mech against a bunch of people in tricked out mechs still?

I did the exact same thing you are thinking. It will take about 10 matches for you to be in cheese territory again.

You don't have to just run good mechs Ppl do well in Hunchbacks, Awesomes, Dragons, Spiders, you name it.

Hunchbacks ARE good mechs.

I have fun, and do well in, "bad" centurion configurations, and by that I mean configurations that aren't SRM boats that use right arm ballistics.

No, trial mechs are not seperated out. In fact, your Elo is by mech weight. So if you used a Flame a lot then took a trial Catapult, you would get treated the same as if you took out the Flame again.

Yup, exactly what happened. Actually only took 2 matches to start seeing ECM heavily again.

I was on a team like 4 or 5 trial mechs against a team with 2 or 3 ECM and a bunch of catapults.

I guess I'm just over this game at this point.

I play pretty much only Centurion's normally, but I just don't enjoy ECM. SRM cats, DDC, Raven 3L and 4 or 5 other mechs you see basically every game.

Well keep in mind, it's a completely new account. But I guess since it starts me at 1300 ELO or something instead of 500 it's all the same crap.

If I could just get matched with trial mechs for about 30 or 40 games. I'd remake my account every week.

What? I enjoy stock. My computer sucks so im never really competitive. Using an AC is near impossible. But the Ddc-3l-Catapult-stalker game is boring.
