Yeah, I thought we were assured this wouldn't happen.

But look at this: 8 Victors, 7 of which are dragon slayers on the same team. 6 of the DS are in lances together.
Do the math.

that feature went out the window since 3/3/3/3 fell flat on its face and was pulled

I don't see anything wrong in that picture. Looks like any another match I've seen.

[Desintegrator]

Yeah, that can happen !
Forget it and start the next match.

When we see the next try of the 3/3/3/3 matchmaking, maybe it will be removed and only one premade team per side will be allowed.

4 man competitive meta teams using all advantages possible against unorganized pugs in public matches is impressive.

BS
You can only run silly builds for so long in high Elo. Then you get repeatedly set against Lords, SJR etc, so you have to bring the big boys.
And guess what, in this screenshot there's 2 premades on both sides, and even an SJR premade (with a Lord inside) on the losing side. Try harder, kid.

Completely right in this case !

They could also decide to drop with 4 x Hunchbacks. But why should they do that !?
Everybody should have the Dragon Slayer !

Nice, that it was on a 50% sale a few weeks ago.

If anyone wants to play competitive move on to the private Matches !
There you can play with 12 Dragon Slayers against 12 Dragon Slayers.
And there you can invite your 3000+ points high ELO players.
Thats competition !

To drop with 4 Jumpsnipers in a premade team in a public match is not competitive !
Its just having fun to shred the other team...

[Pisceszero]

Shred hit the nail on the head. Not much to say here.

The matchmaker code rewrite is, according to some tweets/NGNG podcast with Russ, supposed to hit on the 17th. So chill for a little minute.

Looks like players exploiting sync dropping. You will find guilds using the same exploit in tournaments for damage "solo" style they will sink drop if end up on the wrong side then help the other side win through voice ip. Watched a lance in one tournament weekend intentionally stroll to the other team to be killed to ensure they racked up damage points. What needs to happen is eliminating any chance at sync dropping. That would upset these premades though if they cant stage this kind stuff in pickup games they might have to actually make a 12 man team and fight at the right stage. GET RID OF SYNC DROPPING INTO A GAME TO EXPLOIT IT.

So you are forced to do it, got it. Keep in mind that the reason you are, in fact, in a high Elo is because you run meta lances with your combined 8 arty/airstrikes, stacking the odds in your favor as much as possible, in public matches against randoms. Again, it's impressive.

Are you mentally challenged? These are 4 completely random premades! Sync dropping in this game does not work, at least not if you try to land on the same side.

I got there without meta mechs, then my ambitions made me look deeper into the meta, to adapt and overcome. I like to mess with the best, be on the top. If you don't like it, lose some games and go down the Elo ladder again. Or go bug PGI about it so they do something to broaden the game again.
I decided to adapt and to call for measures to make other builds and tactics viable again, from a knowledgeable pov. What did you do?

[Khujjo]

Let me clarify...my issue isn't so much the meta lances themselves as much as the meta lances that do stack all the odds in their favor and then BRAG ABOUT HOW AWESOME THEY ARE while beating unorganized teams. That said, I have seen you in many matches over time and have never seen you act this way. I apologize for my assumptions.

Yes, I do realize PGI is the cause of this. In this game made up of teams and solo players, in whatever the actual percentages of each are, PGI has made public matches good for neither. Teams can't group with more than 4 and solo droppers can't play with other solo players only.

Anyway, I realize this is off topic in this thread anyway, my frustrations got the better of me.
