This just shouldn't happen! Not only did my team drop into a match with 8 DDC Atlases, but 3 other matches as well. Completely walking over the enemy team. It was fun for us but I would have been so pissed if I were on the other team. Lately though it seems that the matches are saturated with assault mechs. 6 to 8 on a single team and the other side is always lighter in tonnage. This makes for a completely one sided fight. This game needs a tonnage limit!

Really? That is great. However, I heard through the grape vine that PGI was considering not putting that in the game. Something about the community complaining that they wont be able to use the mechs that they pay for.

I think this will balance things out but hopefully not at a vast expense of time when searching for a match.

With the new match making if your team has 8 atlases the other team should have 8 assault mechs?

Nope. Heavier does not equal better.

How will we find a match when most of us are playing assaults?

there is a much simpler fix;

at the start of the match, on the countdown screen - make the tonnage balacing there.

team has 8 ddc atlas? put 4 on the other team.

voilá

something even pgi can do. excuse me if i don't completely trust their ability to implement actual role warfare anytime soon;

and 3/3/3/3? well that one just sucks
