So the queue at the moment is:

Light - 0%
Medium - 13%
Heavy - 13%
Assault - 75%

There is literally no possible way for me to drop in a light and get any results with that much firepower on the field. Releasing not one, but 2 assaults was a TERRIBLE idea.

Here's a novel idea: Don't take an assault.


I must see what these Nova quirks are...

[AztecD]

shut up and wait for the queue

waiting....waiting....

[MandyB]

Or.. drop in a light and kill all those mechs that arent mastered yet. Shoot them in the back.

[FupDup]

The Gargoyle isn't an assault so much as a medium trapped in an assault's body, that takes up an assault slot on your team. I imagine that the vast majority of the assaults clogging the queue are King Crabs because those are a lot more powerful...

Actually, as a light mech pilot, I'd much rather go up against assault mechs than heavy mechs. Especially in the solo queue, where one of the less clever pilots will wander away from his team. Besides, most of those are gonna be unlevelled Gargoyles with non-optimal builds. Those are a lot smaller threat than mastered DW's and Warhawks

[MeiSooHaityu]

No surprise there with those numbers. Everyone wants to play their new toy. It should start to return to normal...eventually. Maybe 2 weeks or so :/

NopeVa is 5% less heat generation per energy arm, same for Prime or S.

Lynx is +8 structure per arm and +12 per leg, also with -10% heat generation.

Oh the tears are so rich and creamy... I'm in nirvana.

[Killstorm999999]

Release the valves! 12 vs 12 King Crabs!

[Tarogato]

The patch has been live for what... 20 minutes, and you already created a thread to complain about the queue?

Besides, there's like nobody online right now, so it's not completely representative. First of all some people are still patching. Some people take over 30 minutes to patch, still others quit playing for a least an hour when the servers go offline/maintenance, especially people that don't understand why the servers are down (it took me a while to make the connection myself)

And yeah, anytime the assault queue is strong is a good day for lights. Unelited assaults are our prey, not the other way around.

75% assault is the ideal time to take a light imho.. Sweet sweet squishy rear armor on brand new, clumsy assault mechs without the skill tree unlocks? Hell, some of them might even be running stock armor! Zip around and kill stuff 3-5x your size with 1 or 2 well placed alphas in the back.. Superfuntimes.

seems like it, but the fun part is "for shorter wait times use light mechs" is all but true.
if you take a light mech you´ll STILL wait for hours because there are no enemy light mechs to match against you...... 8[

[-Natural Selection-]

Dude.. is the perrrfect time to chew the backs out of some new assaults (with little light opposition to boot)

[Vassago Rain]

66% for me.
