Could we please tighten the elo a little more, i am getting quite frustrated with dropping with nooby pilots, they all seem to sit back and pick their noses while the skilled players do all the work, then when a mech is about to die, THEN they decide to move up, steal a kill and then run full throttle in the other direction....every time i see this i want to TK them....please fix this it is ruining fun for everyone, or Implement vote to kick.

C'mon brah

You're not the demographic.

They want the Call of Battlehalo kiddes and their moms wallets so they can mash a button, fire off their 2 MLAS and 1 GAUSS at a target 1km away, all the while telling you how you suck at the game, as they derp off to die one at a time in the PUGZAPPER.

That's where the money is.

Matchmaker is changing drastically in nine days. Be patient.

They can't be Too Nooby if they are suckering you out of the kills after you did all the work

God I HOPE so, lol...tired of having 4+ kill 600+damage matches only to reveal at the end that my team couldn't muster 600 damage between them....you know it is bad when you both out damage and out kill an entire other lance...just saying

I does not require skill to troll the radar till someone is cherry red, steal a kill and then retreat

Kill secured. What else do you want your spider buddies to contribute? Its funny that your name defines the tactic.

Its not kill stealing is kill confirmation as many of us Lawmen say. Myself included.

Once again I find Elo is working fine. Saturday I was grinding for the T-bolt with the Law. Took me the better part of 2 1/2-3 hours to win 5 matches. I was with the wrong Lawmen for my level of play and it showed.

Yesterday as my Alt Anton I ha my T-bolt in 7 games. That is twice now that it was easier to win a Mech solo than playing with my team.

At least it was more fun losing with friends than winning alone !

And because of noob rants like this is why we can't have nice things. YOU are half the reason why we're getting the piece of crap 3/3/3/3 system.

[Hillbillycrow]

I get ELO annoyance, somtimes, but there's not much point in complaining about random pug behavior. Pugs will pug. Just sayin.

This statement begs the question... Are you the other half?

[King Arthur IV]

when i play in the middle of the night i end up having huge 30s to 1-2 min long wait times.

longer the wait, the more elo discrepancy there is.

To the OP: I've been noticing I have been having a lot of carry harder matches these days as well. That said it doesn't ruin my fun because I'm not overly concerned with winning or losing, I'm much more concerned with how well I did, and how I can improve. The one thing that does bother me is when I have a carry harder match where I deal 600+ damage, and someone who scores less than 150 damage starts complaining about the team being bad.

To be fair I don't think damage total entitles anyone to QQ about the match. Blaming pugs gets old. A lot of times players can get higher damage totals but still play tactically unsound and thier damage total or win ratio does not make them right or more valid. Many times premade team players are carried to victory and are no better than the average player but for some reason think they are. I play solo a lot and dislike this attitude that I keep seeing. I've been playing this game from the beginning and do not need to be lectured by some dude just because hes in a unit or pulls big numbers,

LOL ... we shall see.

1) Whether it changes on schedule
2) Whether it can make matches without immense queues
3) Whether balanced match input actually makes any difference in the average outcomes of matches.

[meteorol]

They can't because there are not enough players.
If there were enough players in my elo range (whatever it may be), i wouldn't have to wait like 2 minutes or more to find a game.
Whenever i press launch, i can easily bring something upstairs, walk downstairs again, go to the kitchen, get myself a coffee, go back to the PC, and the matchmasher is still "searching". If they would tighten up the Elo any further, i would probably have to wait like 10 minutes to get into a game.

[Joseph Mallan]

Every time I que up I see the Match maker working as intended. When I Drop with the Law I have to take in consideration who I am dropping with as to whether I will have good games or not. Dropping with DocBach... Well I know I will be carried to victory cause he is much better than I am. Solo, I don't know who is or isn't better than me till the credits, but in either case I am responsible for doing the best I can to help the team.

No. Half the fun is learning how to beat the other team when you're out-tonned.

I got one better than that I had a match the other night with 3 people complaining about the team the entire time. Less than 20 damage...combined. Le sigh...
