DOSE ELO work at all ... and WHAT ABOUT WEIGHT.... getting really fed up with ... facing full assault teams

[Wintersdark]

Do you know what Elo is? Just curious, I don't mean that in a passive-aggressive way, but it has no bearing whatsoever on weight class or tonnage.

If you do understand its purely a player skill measuring system, how do you feel its failing? Is it too tight, or too loose?

"Please fix" isn't very helpful when you don't say what's wrong.

I think we definitely need class restrictions with the matchmaker though. They should let us ready a mech of each class and then drop both teams in a lobby and once you lock in your mech you hit the ready button. I don't think tonnage limits are needed if we us class restrictions like 3 of each similar to the launch tournament. That in itself creates a nice balanced game.

If other people lock in and ready up before you and people already chose 3 Heavies then you have to choose a light, Med, or assault. I think it would be a good solution.

yes but I was under the impression.. that they'd added some sort of weight & class matching to it as well ... I must of been wrong.. would be nice to have more balance than just skill level in match's ... and your right ...my first post was in anger after being ... dropping into 3/4 games with almost full assault's enemy team .. I have a habit of venting sometimes . ..my bad

Elo has nothing to do with weight, that's a separate variable.

so when you say Variable ... you mean it is take into account for match making or its not .... and should it be
