It's not in at all. It was for a bit but they disabled it due to errors in the matchmaking code making wait times too long.

Ok. Been wondering about that. So its not in for teams either, correct? (have heard chatter about it being in for 2-4 man teams)

Yep, premades can only have 3 of any weight class.

But since that only applies to premade lances your team can still be lopsided...I have seen matches with 6-8 mechs of the same weightclass as recent as today.

The ONLY iteration of 3/3/3/3 that's functional right now is withing your group. You cant take more than 3 of a weight class into a game in a premade.

Not true. Premades are limited to 3 of one weight class. (Try launching with 4 of anything, it will fail). That was one of the basic tenants of 4x3. However, it still does not mean the MM won't put 6 heavies on a team if yours and the other premade also bring 3 heavies.

Whats this 3/3/3/3 stuff anyway?
It's a matchmaker constraint that limits teams to 3 lights, 3 mediums, 3 heavies, and 3 assaults. Apparently it constrained too much and the whole matchmaker started suffocating.

PGI allow us to select more than one mech when loading. I have one light, med, heavy and assault ready to run. I shouldn't have to wait for anything but a open game.

It hasn't stopped putting together half a Steiner company.
It's also great when I see 30+% for both Assault+Heavies... because that's pretty much guaranteed bulk to be shot.

MM is being completely rewritten. So it's like none of the 3/3/3/3 talk or work or tests ever happened.
