So, suffice it to say I can't get into a game for the life of me.

After trying to launch multiple times for around 30 minutes earlier, now I've tried another few times and still can't land a game. What is up with the MatchMaker? Halp!

Your ELO is too high. Try a different mech weight class.

Otherwise, try being in a premade and hope your combined ELO will suffice (hopefully someone will drag yours down enough).

Or maybe his ELO is too low... If you lose more than you win I have bad news for you.

Not a different mech, a different weight class..

I'd take that over the 4-5 failed to find matches in a row between each one I actually do get...

[bloodnor]

well I have not had a single failed to find match apart from when doing 12 mans with my unit. a few days ago it was 3 minute waits over and over followed by dropping with the same bunch of guys again for about 2 hours but on the plus side it was all well known players like chavette, selfish, thunderhawk1 ect ect the higher ELO scores. but they was some great matches. I think you might had been in a few of them

Yeah, its funny how they always assume the contrary..

[Ghogiel]

Blix probably has a decent Elo just from running premades with SJR.

Given the size of current player pool, better to try at different times.

Well since PGI doesn't get tired to claim they have LOADS of new players starting to play every day one would assume low Elo would be a non-issue since there's new players with low elo starting every day ...

and this is related to gameplay balance exactly how?

I work during the day, play at night. Not a whole lot of room to adjust there.

It's most likely high. For the purpose of better understanding the Elo system and what class of players may be having difficulty I will share my W/L ratio: 4,067 / 723. I pug a decent amount, but as said not exclusively.

If the matchmaker is preventing players from playing the game then that is a bad thing. Just because I'm average or above average doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to play. However, this thread isn't about pumping my ego. It's about sharing my experience and seeing if it is a problem for anyone else.

I've been playing since the beginning. Adapting to a new Meta hasn't been an issue yet. If anything, my stats were far better before pop-sniping was made prominent.

Didn't mean to question your abilities, just thought that was funny
