This is so epic-bad, it's almost funny. Can you please fix the MM while you are working on all these other fixes. This is not fun at all.

You got rolled. Welcome to the club. The nature of combat in MW:O means that even a 1-'Mech disadvantage is a much bigger deal than you would see in a standard shooter. Time to kill is much higher in MW:O than most games and the effectiveness of firepower when one side has a numbers advantage is exponential. Most matches end in 12-4 or worse. Without changes to the mechanics, I think it will stay that way.

How is this not possible?

I don't see the issue here. You didn't end up without any clan mechs, without assaults or against 6 assaults.
You got rolled. That happens like every 2nd game.

[Monkey Lover]

so im guessing you have a few disconnects and couple new people.

[Bhael Fire]

You had a 9x ERPPC DWF on your team and you expected to win?

[Ens]

skirmish...no other aim than to kill the other company

other than that you had like 8-10 ppl doing literally "nothing"
steam roll seems legit

[Pezzer]

Getting rolled isnt fun, but that's what happens when everyone is uncoordinated and people commit suicide because they think noone is going to aim for the Raven with ECM or thier 50 ton mech right off the bat. When people aren't cautious and rush in, or are too cautious and never join the battle, you get rolled. Having troll builds on your team doesn't help either. I hate ppl that try to play 9 PPC Dire Wolves :/

What mechanic could PGI adopt that would prevent a 12-1 match? I've seen games with plenty of great players where the score is similar. I'm not going to say the MM is amazing because we've all seen matches with 3 mans pitted against 12 mans and games where 1 team has twice as many assaults, all the ECM, etc. However, no MM tweak is going to ensure you don't get rolled.

[Hoax415]

0 damage DWF

5 damage STK

FIX THIS PGI!

PGI isn't responsible for players doing whatever the hell those two were doing. This is a really stupid thread.

Why did we get rolled when 2/3 of our assaults were MIA!? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Bhael Fire]

Other than the 9x ERPPC DWF, my guess is you had a few high Elo players on your team and a bunch of scrubs. The higher Elo players did not carry the team hard enough by taking out key players on the other team fast enough and then it went downhill from there.

[Lefty Lucy]

It happened. It happens a lot less than it used to. MM in its current iteration is miles ahead of where it used to be, IMO it's the one area that MWO has made real progress in non-monetized features.

MM can never completely eliminate stomps, not even the most perfect matchmaking in the world could, it can simply reduce the frequency of their occurrence.

I'm guessing the DWF troll build was a high-elo player, and missed his shot before dying from heat, hence the zero damage.

[Mcgral18]

How did this happen? Look at the bads.

They happened. They only had 3 bads, compared to your 11.

That many bads....is just painful.

When I was trolling 9ppc. I would use 4 of them until I was almost dead then do a 9 shot

I found the 9shot almost never registered all the ppc's.

[Why Run]

It was rhetorical. I've played this game a significant amount, in all weight classes, why must I play with new players? It's not fun.

Dude your team was owned by a Firestarter! I suspect a large cluster of your team and a Arty strike. In which case it is perfectly acceptable.

[Why Run]

On second thought, maybe I'll just build my own 9PPC direwhale and troll the new players.

Actually, it was not an arty. We were shamefully dispersed along the B-line, but not close enough to get artyed like that. It was just pathetic. I just don't get why after so many games, I get matched with players in brand new mechs. I don't want to play that game, it's horri-bad.

It only takes one to two good players to turn the tide on a evenly matched game. This can easily lead to rolls like this.

Also, I don't see you complaining when the shoe is on the other foot, only that it happened to you...

[627]

me too thinks that firestarter played a hell of a match...

[Why Run]

Again, this match ended in 3 minutes. I actually have complained about the stupid MM constantly. I don't want to win in 3 minutes either. It's not Mechwarrior. This is not tactical, thinking, combat

Actually it is Mechwarrior, Your team failed to fight as a team and was rolled for the failure. You even had 2 Dire Wolves while the heaviest Clanner the winners had was a Timber Wolf. and it was the least effective cause your team killed it. Your side did something stupid wrong and I say this from experience. I had 2 games in a row that ended in under 3 minutes. Like Us you screwed up by the numbers.
