So why is this still a thing? SUPER CLOSE MATCH? 11/11 at final score, two mechs in shambles!!

YOU GET NOTHING F YOU PLAYER.

Really, I do not understand this.

Should give a bonus to both sides for doing a good match all around.

It's to prevent players from just spawn camping and not engaging the enemy. A Draw also counts as a loss on your stats.

[Sandpit]

I could understand if no damage done but after 15 minutes of fighting to get nothing is a bit ridiculous

[TB Freelancer]

Honestly, teams that lose or tie should earn nothing in the way of experience or cbills. Winner take all.

Adjust earnings so averaged out, the average player keeps earning the same amount of cbills. It would be a good step towards fixing the broken reward system in place.

[Deathlike]

If the game was like under 6-6 (6 deaths on each side or less), then I get it. However, ties are usually like close affairs... so 0XP doesn't make much sense.

In any case, giving even Loss XP gains is not a bad minimum.

Or for the side that got the most damage overall

So, more rewards for using LRM boats and people who spray damage all over? The team that torso twisted the most loses? Damage should never be used for comparisons between players or teams.

That's freaking ********! A draw is a draw! It shouldn't be counted as a loss! Then again it IS PGI.

It's enforced roleplaying for Kuritan and Smoke Jaguar players!

Probably be the same for all clans, but it can't be. If enforced roleplay was in-game, I'd be able to offer to pay off a lance or 2 of the enemy team, House Liao would actually get positive points for TKing, Federated Sun players would be able to pilot autocannons with legs, and house Marik would....would...ummm......I got nothing.

Actually it doesn't count as a loss. I have a mech with exactly one match played after the reset and it was a draw. Stats are 1 played, 0 Wins, 0 Losses. it actually created a divide by zero error on a spreadsheet I was creating which is how I noticed.
