It's to the point now that their reputation precedes them. See a Lord in a game, anyone who's been here long enough immediately makes him/her target priority #1 in the solo queue, any kills at all a 'moral' victory in the team queue, and a total victory something worth celebrating.

It comes as no surprise then, that said Lords will bring the best of the best meta-mechs and their A-game every game... but, as they accurately point out, they need to have matches too. It wouldn't be fair to have these players searching for hours and hours for a single match just because their win-loss ratio is really high. Matchmaker is trying its best, but sometimes new guys get placed into matches they really shouldn't be.

Try to keep your chin up. At the end of the week; I say week not day because I, personally, have had DAYS where I would lose 10-15 matches in a row; at the end of the week MM tries to keep players at or close to a 1:1 ratio. Remember, it's a player vs player game, someone always has to lose... spread those losses around the playerbase and most will end in the 1:1 ratio, some a little below, some a little above.

And hey, screenshot those times you kill a Lord. Heimdelight and Kaffeangst have probably killed me 10-15 times each, and I've only been able to return the favour twice to Heim, three times to Kaffe. Rivalries, villains, friends and foes make the game more entertaining

Uhhhh, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this is faulty information. Otherwise I would see the same players over and over, and I don't. The player base for this game is small, but not that small

If you say "gullible" slowly it sounds like "oranges".

I wish they would show the player count.

Agreed. Seems like an awful lot of coding effort is going into hiding that statistic.

As far as some Lords players mentioned above, being good at clicking on pixels on your screen is pointless. Being decent to the people on the other end is the most important part of a game IMO. Belittling others who don't have as much skill or practice as you is just disgusting to me.

Some say that about you too Wisp. But every so often a pesky YLW shows up and stuffs an AC20 in your Jenner's tailpipe.......

​Also, if your "little brother" qualifies as a Lord, and is new to the game, either he is very good, or your standards are lapsing...so I would say it would be at least decently impressive.

Ah no do not say that about me I am far too cocky to not get shot occasionally!

It is not like Lords is a massive unit so there is no real need to exclude him from it. It is not as if he will ever be needed in comp or CW but he also does not play this game enough to join another unit...(he only has like the 1 mech, why he was getting the 10mil cbills whilst it was up lol). He is nowhere near Lord level of play though, although if he played enough I cannot imagine he would not get there.

As to points about E N E R G Y he is the kind of person who will 1v1 anybody who asks...so feel free to prove your stuff guys

Just to point out though...you will get crushed every single time...

Too bad he has a high school mentality. "I'm good at a game, so that gives me the right to treat people like crap!" There's some serious issues going on with that.
