my FPS seems to average at about 12.
tadaaaa!
well there's your problem and i'm sure others have beaten me to it at this very moment.
most of us are at about 50fps i think? depending on how many mechs are actually near me I've noticed it get to 30. the other night going into thermal vision on forest colony for some weird reason my FPS went to the teens and i just had to not use it. but yea, you have to realize that you are shooting at things that aren't there anymore, and they've already shot you. hell, at 12fps, sometimes you're probably dead before you're even dead, if that makes any sense.
something's not right bro, try lowering your graphics to a disgusting level and nudge different things up one game at a time. also, it is tough to get off the ground, i mean, until you have gotten 3 variants basic skills which allows you to master one, you simply won't be as awesome perhaps as the other folk on your team.
but since ELO seems to work a LITTLE, you should be pitted against others around your skill level which leads me to believe you have either a network or hardware issue to resolve before you'll get much more joy out of MWO.
