Hi,
I realize that the matchmaker is a work in progress and that the longer it takes to form a match the less balanced it is likely to be. However, in a match I just completed ...
Side 1:
6 assaults
1 heavy
1 medium
Side 2:
3 assaults
2 heavies
3 mediums
It seems like the match maker has some algorithm that adds players to each team trying to get a balanced match ... however, it does not seem to have the option to rearrange the teams during the formation process ...
In the above match ... it could have rearranged the 16 available mechs to have 5 assaults, 1 heavy, 2 medium vs 4 assaults, 2 heavies, 2 med or any number of more balanced combinations.
Even factoring in ELO - the tonnage difference is difficult to overcome and the 3 assault side would have needed pretty exceptional pilots. In this case, the 6 assault team quite easily rolled over the 3 assault team.
In any case, it would appear some fine tuning, after the 16 players have been assigned, might be useful.
