I always had a positive win loss ratio. Now I constantly drop with a bunch of morons who run into the tunnel and generally just suicide. I often make 30K Cbills a match and my w/l ratio is dropping. It can't be that I arrived at a higher ELO because all the players are dumber than the ones I used to drop with.

I used to just carry matches, but I cannot carry hard enough to get wins with noobs I get stuck with lately. WTF happened?

You're supposed to carry your team with your awesome ELO.

[Yokaiko]

There aren't enough players for ELO banding to work, so you get what you get.


and yes, 12 average player against 2 good players and guys in trial mechs is the same in the eyes of the matchmaker.

[GonaDie]

Lol.So much hate in your post, OP.I guess you should just carry harder.

I wish they'd let people choose ,Give a box in options

Wait longer get a decent game

Screw balance give me free wins/ slaughters that were over before they began.

Give people the ability to chose.

Personally I'd rather wait 30 mins for a game .Then have somebody useless incompetent and not trying to win on my team.

Honestly, I wish they'd just get rid of Elo altogether and let the chips fall wherever they may...it couldn't be worse than a matchmaker that is constantly — and intentionally — trying to ruin your fun.

People in this thread have absolutely no idea how match maker works.


Fun fact, a perfectly balanced game where everyone is roughly the same elo will have 12-0 stomps MUCH more often than lopsided matches. when it's a 50/50 split, any mistake you would not normally make will end up snowballing into a stomp, where if the game is lopsided you can afford to make a mistake and not have it be the deciding factor in the game because the skill levels of all involved are wildly different.

its all fudged up because of the new mechs....

Where is that nice picture of an Atlas who carrys his team up the mountain.... "I have fun"

It needs to come up on the first page.

MM doesn't put together people with the same Elo; MWO uses team Elo (i.e. an aggregate of each player on the team). But yes, you're correct, when team Elo is roughly the same, 12:0 stomps happen frequently...but not because everyone is roughly the same, but rather because of the huge disparities in individual skill.

Some of the best matches I've had are when every player is roughly the same skill level....and it usually ends up being very close.

Wrong Aspirin....
a perfectly balanced match will go down to the wire 70% of the time- or more.
The other 30% will comprised of rolls where the series of mistakes made will domino a win, or a loss.

Fact Check http://en.wikipedia....o_rating_system but you knew that......................right?

ELO = Electric Light Orchestra

Elo = Skill rating system

ELO is Electric Light Orchestra.




But...I think they mean Elo (named after Arpad Elo's rating system).

That must be difficult, since all of your games include you.
