Anyone else noticing that, while before the very last patch, you were almost always in the same lance assignment when dropping solo (for me Charlie 90% of time) and now you're pretty randomized?

That's because in the old MM, lances where assigned to groups first, then to solo pugs. So, Alpha was pretty much always one group and Bravo often another... If you had, say, a 4 man and a 2 man in your side, that would leave you with a 1/3 chance of a Bravo slot and a 2/3 chance of a Charlie a lot, for example.
And no, as has been confirmed, Elo had nothing to do with lance assignment. It was always largest to smallest group then fill with pugs.
These days, the solo queue is 100%solo, no groups(confirmed by Karl in his MegaThread) so you're 1/3 per lance. Nice that it mixes things up, so you can experience different spawn points.

ok, I'm trying really hard...
There's like 4 of these threads on the front page. lol
It's random
It always has been random
Premades would drop in alpha because they'd drop in the match first, then solos would fill out the rest of the slots. Now you don't have premades taking up alpha and bravo slots so you end up in alpha and bravo.
Lance assignment has nothing to do with skill or Elo

Come on, Sandpit. You ought to know better; whenever people see something that's New, Different And/Or Scary, they must post a new thread about it immediately. Because obviously nobody else will have noticed it and posted already - hell, there's no point in even looking at the first page of the forum they're posting on, because reasons.
After all, we need moar threads, right? Otherwise, we may end up with information that's nicely organized and such. Then it wouldn't even be the MWO forums anymore.
