I like how even the picture itself is titled 'fake_mm_fail'...waits for others to argue its authenticity.

14 kills is pretty normal, right?

Good catch there.

Nothing seems out of place otherwise.

Yea, two of them got 7 kills each!

Never made it that far to the right...

Much like my political views!

Fine, you caught me... it was two 12 man teams. We had to sync drop at percisly 13:21am to get MM to put us together

Shoot 4 of your team mates before time runs out! That was easy!

Some of you guys scare me.... if you have to shoot 4 teammates to get 16 kills, you clearly don't know how to aim properly.

I was in a drop against 8 AS7-D-DCs, that seems to be the premade stomp bot of choice, and my side having no counter to the ecm let alone the the outright disregard for weight balance. The four other bots on their side were a AC40 Jager, 2 ecm spiders, and a DeathKnell. My side was mostly a mixture of mediums and lights, with a couple catapults, and our one assualt was an Awesome. Not one mech on my side with ecm, or tag. I myself was in a Locust, was alpha'd on first contact, without even seeing the enemy, thanks to all thier ecm coverage.
The current match maker stinks, it really needs to stop putting multiple pre-mades on one side, needs more weight balance, and needs to take into account ecm.

People abuse a game mechanic and you blame the matchmaker?

BTW, what game mode were you? If it was anything but skirmish, you should have easily won against a slow team like that.

no, just proof that locusts are op. We need a few threads and polls to discuss the matter

[Corvus Antaka]

your ELO is obviously to high.

Yeah, this has been worse since skirmish was brought in.

What i found:

When you choose game mode :any you have a better shot of a closer tonnage match. If you choose a particular game mode, watch out. Assault was the worst IMO, as I think a lot of the heavy guys went skirmish, which makes the remaining heavy mechs pilots harder to match up. Was especially bad when running my locust. Lately I have been just doing only conquest with my lights, because IMO, nothing under 70 tons appears to be valid in skirmish. Every match i run in that mode has 9 assaults on each team. And when I ran lights in assault, the games got very imbalanced. Which is too bad, I really enjoyed running that game mode once the Atlas derp squad that only wanted to march out and civil war style shoot the other guy at 45kph all went to skirmish. Had some very good matches.

During very busy times, the matches are closer. Later at night though, it goes haywire.

That's because you're opening your queue to more players

That's because there are more players online for MM to choose from
