Usually I play with 4 man groups in the TS server, however I do sometimes enjoy just pugging if I only have an hour or so to spare.

Seems like every pugged match I did I get put into groups filled with very new players, usually going up against a team of not so new players.

I feel like half our team was AFK.

It is the community trial mech.

I see the enemy team has 3 assaults, 3 heavies, 2 mediums, 0 lights vs your team with 1 assault, 6 heavies, 0 mediums and 1 light. I'm not sure the Elo part is broken but the weight class matching seems to be ****** up.

Matchmaker is not broken, it's just never really worked. It's one of the more pressing issues they need to address with the new user experience.

There seem to be a lot less players online the past couple of days, too. I imagine this is because of crashes and other technical problems causing people to get frustrated. I mean, it's rare that NONE of my in-game friends are on.

So with a smaller pool of active players, the matchmaker is naturally going to be less effective.

Since the patch for fixing solo long waiting time, the matchmaker is broken.

There are already several threads about it and yet PGI hasn't done anything on it.

This is big news.

I believe that is the Custom variant from the design a heavy thing they had.

this is definitely true. I had a couple matches where either my team had 5 lights on average or the other team having the same. Usually when we end up with 5 lights our other 3 are almost always medium/heavy with no asssault.

Screenshot has to be fake. It's only showing one Highlander-HM in the match and there's at least 3-4 in every match right now.

After 2 min the Matchmaker drops all ELO restrictions and any weight restrictions. It doesnt matter which team waits that long. At that point it will automatch you vs complete randoms.

They NEED to update this and fix it.
