Just... I... don't even...

Seems legit to me. I've had quite a few games where it's been 12v7 or less in the past week or so. It's getting pretty ridiculous.

It's normal. Welcome to MWO. Please enjoy your stay.

It's lame, welcome to MWO, the only game where ppl stay for a week then leave suddenly.

The instability has gone up recently I feel.
From the Freezing bug to Disconnects...

[Xeno Phalcon]

Especially like the slur from the LOCUST on the other team -.^

Unless you're a ********* (really, these forum censor the word "ma-so-chist"??), there's really no reason not to just immediately disconnect from a match like that.

You still get XP and CBills, even for a seriously one-sided match. Every match has a chance of turning into a memorable and nice fight, even if you have no chance of winning ... no reason to disconnect.

And just think about the bragging right if you manage to pull off a victory in a match like that.

If it was only one match among many others then yes but it's not the case and by far, really really far. Just do a quick search on the forums about matchmaking ...

I'm fully aware of the problem, no need to be condescending. I was simply pointing out that there is no need to make a bad situation worse by disconnecting simply because "the odds" aren't in your favour.
If that was a good way to handle things you'd see everyone disconnect simply because someone on your team chose a locust as their 'mech.

Yup.... the problem is most prevalent on Alpine and especially Terra Therma though. I've seen like one or two discos, and then people saying in chat "F this" and discoing themselves.

It's silly.

Yeah.. I tried to run my typical brawler Jenner on solo PUG again last night...
Again facing MM stupidity with losses like 6 team mates doing less 100 damage.
Very hard to get a good game in brawler lights.. Haiz...

The moment I switch over to the a Gauss Jager... Started winning... Haiz...
I know other decent ELO light pilots are facing the same problem... It is just not very feasible to carry games in light mech..
The only way is to carry ERLLs and Snipe but this method requires.. Big map and long game, not half the team dieing in 5 mins.

TDM will bring in something interesting... No longer will slow assaults be able to 'cap' against an ERLL light in a attrition battles.
