Ok sometimes there is a huge tonnage difference, but sh$t happens, people make choices, that can lead to a huge benefit to the group or its down fall, sometimes people are shooting straight and sometimes they cant hit the broadside of a barn. And you cant get mad at people for trying something new, playing the same strategy on a map gets really boring with the limited maps and modes. And it doesnt really matter because winning or losing doesn't really mean anything, there is nothing at stake, yet. Now is a great time to try new strategies and different builds, make mistakes you will be better off. If you dont like it play private matches where you have control.

I think when there are lower numbers of players on matchmaker gets evil! Puts 4 or 5 ecm against no ecm. Narc lrms against no ecm teams. Some time it seems that way probably not as often as it seems sometime will win anyway but seems stacked sometimes.

[Titus Ryan]

It would be nice if they could add ecm as part of the mm but only as a secondary filter, I dont want to wait any longer than I am currently to join a match.

[Titus Ryan]

Im pretty sure we know by now pgi is incapable of creating a mm that takes loadout into effect.

The better team always wins. So which ever team derps hardest loses. Match maker has no control over that!

Any CO that can say, "They have us out manned and surrounded. Right where we want them!" Is a CO after my own heart!

Part of it is builds. Bad builds equal devalue the effort able to be done by a player regardless of skills. Battle Value of equipment needs to be put into the matching system.

Battle value is very game-able Kjudoon, Specially when we have customization like we do. I've seen it at it's Best(worst).

It's Not Match Makers Fault

Yes it is. Otherwise I'm considered a one man comp team.

MM Logic:
2 Jagermechs + 1 Orion = 3 Timberwolves
1 Atlas + 2 Victors = 3 Dire Wolves
and my favorite:
1 Aresye + 5 New Recruits = 4 Lord + 4 SJR

Every time I think of MWO's MM, I think of the little aliens from Mars Attacks running around telling everyone how they come in peace while vaporizing everyone.

The match maker dropped you 6 against 8?

But the Players have, if you (the player in general, not you specificaly) perform well, your team can have a max of 11 screwups, the enemy team, can have up to twelve.

[Joseph Mallan]

Doesn't change anything. The better team always wins. Almost 60 % of the time its the other team in my case.

Group queue can't really be considered since we're probably dropping together and Elo inflates based on group size. We've never gotten matched with a 4man of SJR when we're in our own 4man.

It actually is the match makers fault.
