So I have to ask when your going to fix the match maker in regards to dropping with Lance mates ? Over the last 60 or so drops these problems have been totally spoiling the game play when I try to play with my friends. It's worth noting that most of the time im only dropping with 1 to two lance mates.

1) When dropping with a single lance mate almost 50% of the time we end up being put Into different lances. It's beyond annoying to end up in someone else's lance when your the entire point of grouping up is to be with your friends

2) 40-60% of the time we are dropping against full companies or at least 8 of the other team are In the same group. It leads to super one sided fights because it's clear that they are all in voice chat while out team is struggling to work together because we are trying to type and fight at the same time.

3) This goes hand in hand with problem 2, because your fighting large groups the equipment on the field is a total mismatch. What I mean is our team may have 0-2 mechs with ECM but they have 4 mechs with ECM 2 narc scouts and 6 assault mechs. It's not so much the tonnage difference but a total imbalance of tech on the field. Theirs no real way to play that kind of synergy when you company is made up of 3 to 4 different groups.

When I drop alone I see much more balanced matchs not near as many 12-3 final score matches like I see all day long when I drop with team mates. Why can we not have some more control over what kind of games the match maker puts us in. Some simple stuff in the group menu that we can check box like, Don't split up our group, don't drop me into games made up of groups larger than a certain number, something has to be done to fix the broken math maker.

Right now I have to say the game is way more fun to drop alone for me because I'm not a part of a large unit. And yes I understand that I could if I wanted to put some effort into finding a large unit to drop with. But why should I have to, why can't I be dropped into balanced games with just one or two friends. I can't understand why the match maker can't just put these large groups against large groups, and only allow people that want to drop into to that kinda game to do so. I don't understand why you can't just drop a group of 3 into each side of a pug of single players for example.

Right now there is almost zero incentive for me to drop with my buddies because I know that if I drop alone I'm almost certain to be in a more balance match that almost always yields a more enjoyable fight.

I think I should also note, that I don't care about winning I just care about having fun, I would rather lose every match I take part in, If it means it going to be a close fight and I never have to see another 12-0 match again regardless of what side of that score I'm on. ( because yes sometime me and friend get lucky and are put on the side that's made up of 10 people from the same unit and we get to take part in the face roll but that's not really anymore fun that being on the receiving end )

Am I alone here ? Does anyone else feel like these problems happen to them ?
