Couldnt agree more. I still cannot believe that they think this "test" could possibly have any usable data. They absolutely failed to take into account:

1. Your ELO system is crap. I'm sorry, but it is. Even in the normal MM system every single game with only a few outliers ends in a total stomp for one side. If your ELO system was worth the bits it was thrown up on, this would not happen.
2. All Clan mechs (except DW) have close to the same speed. Clan mechs were designed specifically for this purpose. This goes a long way to force even random groups to move as a unit. (the two matches I played where the IS side moved as a unit ended with scores that were very close. IS won one 12-10, Clan won one 12-11)
3. In almost every match I played and won during this test, the IS opponents were either purposely playing poorly, or were poor players. Seriously, some of the battles saw the enemy spending the entire match standing still and not even trying to fight back, others had them come at us one at a time.
4. It did not take long for IS players to get disillusioned and simply stop trying. Probably 30 minutes into the test. Any data you gathered after this is null and void.
5. Trial mechs.
6. This test made GLaDOS cry.

Unfortunately, they are convinced their tests followed the scientific method. Expect Clan mechs to be nerfed into the ground.

Alright after reading the posts there seems to be 2 sides here.
1. The nerfinator is coming for the clan mechs! All will be "balanced" when the nerfinator strikes! and...
2. Clan mechs are fine. If this test had been more balanced like 10 v 12 it would have been better results at first.

But! I think since people have had a dose of the all Clan teams I'm sure IS teams will be more prepared to and will be winning more effectively if 10 vs 12 comes. Which I do believe it is I think I remember a post about it from PGI.

Clans are supposed to be OP, but they also organize in Stars of 5, not Lances of 4...so we do 2 Stars vs 3 Lances and allow IS to have Arty AND Air Strikes...Clan s dont get that...maybe not UAV also...I dunno...BOOM...Balance.
