OP it's pronounced "Atlai"

OP should have gone capping in the first match. They would have been unstoppable with that many heavies and assaults on the opposing team.

While I agree that the match maker doesn't do a good job of matching sometimes, I have no idea how to make it better. Some games I'm trying to grind a blackjack or something and we lose 8-2 where I'm the only one who got any kills or broke 100 damage. Some games I'm serious and I do this:


The reality is that who you are is just one factor. The mech you bring is another factor. The weapons on it are also a huge deal. If you have seismic module then just forget about it.

Also, there's the whole issue of bad players being carried to the top by good players in groups...

A good one from last week. Weight class matching is working as intended.

I should add, I haven't played again since this match. When and if (I'm not holding my breath) this gets fixed I'll come back.

I always use this:

Because 6 Stalkers (3F PPC boats), 1 Atlas, 1 Catapult, and 1 Jenner vs. our side that has a few mediums and a light was fair too. Whatever, this is why I say teams should always be limited to 4 mans in PUG matches even when 12 vs 12 comes out. If they increase the cap to 8 man groups in 12 man matches, you'll get these mismatches even more.

At least your game has 4 assaults vs 4 assaults.

That's easily explained. Map file changers. Both screens are in alpine, after all. Blame the playerbase for being whiny *******, not the matchmaker.

As for the OP, two screenshots does not equal data, though I will admit (if I added the numbers off the top of my head correctly), the 145 ton difference is the most I've ever seen. I wonder what time of day you played that match.

From my sig:



And this was prior to the recent improvements to the matchmaker.

I'm still completing my second set of data post matchmaker change and during the class tournament which looks even better thus far.

Admit it!!!!!!!!!! YOU are in a clan aren't you?!?!?!?!?!
That's why the 4 v 8
It's just disgusting I keep getting dropped where the top says alpha bravo charlie and we get 4 to 6 people while thiers is a normal team box and they get 8.
It happens alot now for some reason and the Alpha,Bravo,Charlie is clearly for some type of new drop but it's killing me atm lol

your right about the MM OP, its broken for sure espeicially with regards to ecm, your picture proves it. the fact that theres 6 lights in the match 3 on 1 team with ecm and none on the other team with ecm. obviously your elos are roughly the same as your matched together so theres no excuse for the MM to give one team all the ecm mechs, UNLESS! they were in a 3 man group which is unlikely because 1 of the 3 has a different faction icon

Essentially it comes down to this, if you wait 2 minutes before a match is made, one team is getting their *** handed to them.
