Could you please relax the grip Match Maker has in finding suitable opponents and team builds among players a hair. This would help speed up "get into a new game time". At present time it seems like a person is waiting forever to get into a match. Yes this would cause you to face off against weaker or better players, but these two factors would balance themselves out and make play easier.

Thank you.

And the rage and QQ here would be epic.

Hate to tell you, with MM the way it is, there is already plenty of that.

Time to patch Elo/MM server, and hit "Shut Down" instead of "Restart".

[Piney II]

Oh, I definitely agree with you, Kodiak. The QQ would just ramp up higher with a relaxed matchmaker after players get rolled even more than what is raged about now.

Surely perception based but the MM is doing better now than ever. Yes some Matches take a little longer but never more than 3-4 minutes in my TZ. Lots of decent Matches happening. Stomps still sure, but more good battles too.

[The Boz]

The longer the MM tries to match you up, the worse the match is, because it already relaxes the parameters as time goes by.

[Revis Volek]

Relaxing the MM doesn't necessarily make for faster or better matches all it does is increase the swings for tonnage, ELO, any kind of BV they use or dont use.


You will get more stomps and the same wait times because the waits times have nothing to do with the MM it has to do with the super small player base.

Also, most the people who complain about this dont understand that they are only dropping in assault mechs when the queue is 37% or same thing in Heavy. Look at what mechs are in matches and what is needed.

I have never waited more then 45 seconds for a match....in SOLO. Maybe 2 minutes in Group queue.

How, exactly, do you propose they "loosen" up the matchmaker? As it stands right now, we're still getting new players in their first 25 matches....bumbling about in 3PV, tripping on everything, shooting their team in the back....in just about every game in the Solo Queue.
