I noticed a FPS increase since they have said they changed something from the last patch.
What are you running on your background?

McAfee is a poor piece of software. Like Norton. My recommendation goes to more light antivirus. Such as NOD32, from ESET to name a example.

Binned mcafee last night and cleaned up most of the bloatware popped on avira for the mean time cleaned up the machine with ccleaner. Tweaked the user cfg file and i was able to see mid 40's on viridian bog in testing grounds. Get into a live match on the other hand.

14 losses in a row this afternoon......Un-F(*)&#)(*@7 believable, and i top scored on at least 10 of thes, including the match where i was disconnected at the start and re-joined at 5-0

And all for the same reason, whole teams charging head first at the enemy and then camping like a bunch of stunned mullets in the open where they get murdered within 3 minutes.

Most games are 3 or 4 nil before I've even seen an enemy mech

1:1 win loss? Its a fantasy

Of course it is. You only control 8.5% of your team's chance to win. Yet it is a large portion of what your elo is based on.

Its mind blowing how bad this matchmaking system is.

Some nights, you really have no business playing the game. And the game, lets you know what nights those are.

Tonight is one of those nights.

CW drop where I don't even manage to string together the kind of score I can generally average in ONE mech in the solo queue, across my entire drop deck.

Assault match against Tarogato in his Laser Pointer where it felt like half my team played the role of the Cat. Got all sorts of spread out and picked off.

And finally, Assault match that starts out strong, only to have Red team base rush while my team starts squabbling among themselves like old ladies at a Tupperware party when the last spatula left comes out of the bag. I'm finally observing our last mech who's parked, almost dead on their base and shut down, and then the game freezes, locks up and kicks me to my desktop.

I hear you game. I hear you. And I'm going to take your advice.

now up to 20 straight losses.....

What's your global W/L ratio? What mechs/builds have you been in? Have you been able to eliminate enemies consistently or be the first to the scene to 'herd the pugs' into the right direction?

i dont know what it is for the weight classes but wins is 1700, losses 1500

Pugs cannot be herded, learnt that more than a year ago. They run head first at the first thing they see, camp in the open when they find it and die

That cant be helped or changed

Aye group queue is just like solo queue now. I'm wondering with voip coming in and the new grouping options-is there really a need for solo queue now?
They wanted that queue because evil premades were "farming" them, they were having to face unfair co-ordinated gameplay so they got solo only queue.
Yet now they will have voip and new group options...so giving them the tools they didn't want to use to start with? I say one queue now...?

[FatYak]

25 matches...

i just had 5 weeks off, only been back for a week and i pretty much loath it again already

[FatYak]

finally got my first win at match 27

[Kjudoon]

I know what you mean. That's why I sometimes take a short break for a few days with something PvE... (DCUO for example) before the itch comes back. But I also hold to my 3 strikes rule most times so after 3 angering losses (or wins) it's time to step away.

Oh, and turn off chat. My fingers cannot be trusted.

[FatYak]

and then lost 28

LOL, let me tell You a secret. Disclaimer, I adore conspiracy theories...

When I am stomped 6 times in a row, I change mech and also weight class.
Then winning strike starts. Conspiracy, I am telling You...

[FatYak]

dude, i have been changing it up, and it makes no difference.

the mech i pilot cannot make up for the extreme levels of full re-tard in our player base

This must be what the call elo hell. Good enough to be just above average but not good enough to carry the team.

I don't like when people can copy builds.

My whine today: Bad coffee. Why must I live in a town where the "best" cup of coffee is at McDonalds? I should keep a French press in my job trailer.
