I think the unlucky teams are a symptom of people not coping with the changes well, not an indication that the change was a bad one. I do agree though that it would be nice if MM would match lances with like tonnages.
The lance issue could be solved in several ways: commander shuffling lances (though we dont get enough time for this), A lobby system where we can set our lances before hand, in game with players realizing the mismatch and playing accordingly (backing up their teammates rather than running off and leaving them to die.)
I feel that some of these issues will be corrected with time as players acclimate to this "skirmish" based combat, but not all. As long as MM is throwing together lances "randomly" then there will sometimes be mismatches.
All in all though I view this as a good change, perhaps a change that needs tweaking but absolutely loving the game play at the moment (and I PUG exclusively) truly random spawn points is where I believe it should end up but I realize this is a contested idea at the moment =)
I'd actually it match by speed vs weight. I'd rather my un-tweaeked raven going 127 be in the lance with the Locust going 170, and Kintaro and Shadowhawks going 116 than the AC2 Spider going 87 and an AC20 Raven
