Come on guys dont be obtuse the fact was in 8 v 8 if you got say 4 kills you could turn the game into your favour even if your team werent playing at their best.
Now you can get 5 or 6 kills and still lose. That feeling of being able to 'make the difference' has all but gone.
It is an unfortunate side effect of 12 v 12 but it's very real (and yes I play PUG and I play with friends - different mechs, different tactics etc)
If you're getting 4-6 kills in a 12v12, there's no way you can say you didn't make a difference. Of course you did, unless you want to say that match results are completely binary (i.e. a win is a good match and a loss is a bad match). Ultimately, your team may have still fallen flat on their face, but that could happen with 4 kills in an 8v8 as well. Honestly, if anything, I think there's even more room to distinguish yourself and a heck of a lot more room for actual tactics and not just the "blob of death" we saw in 8v8. Honestly, I think the 12v12 gameplay is lightyears better than the 8v8 gameplay. For me, it's not even close. YMMV, of course.
