Why is it that you let the matchmaker set 5-6 assaults on each team in a game.

It is possible make it (more)strict, let people adapt to what is available
Let hem WAIT.

This very possible for single player games.
And grouped.



Ps: And it is weak to let 12-man play against a team with not even a 10-man against them.

The matchermaker is probably throwing fits because the Assault Mechs make up 70% of players waiting for a match.

If the matchmaker did not put 5 into the match on each side you would have to wait 15 minutes for a match to populate and start instead of 1 or 2 minutes. I see you said "let them wait" but before these "breaking points" were put into the matchmaker the customer base threw fits.

Things will get better when 1) new King Crab and Gargolye player finish leveling up 2) all other players who normally pick lights or mediums go back to those mechs because right now, not many people want to pilot those mechs with 5 assaults on the other team.

Russ has tweeted the valves were opened up by them on purpose because of the high percentage of assault que right now. They will shut it off and go back to a more strict 3/3/3/3 when the gargoyle/king crab fest is over.

What you are seeing is intended right now.

So the games will suck this whole week. No good tactic, only this brawling with 5-6 assaults in your team.

I actually think it is a lot more interesting (and I am playing as a medium). It changes the way that a team needs to approach situations and the way that things "normally" go. I think it is a lot more realistic too. When in real life do you have a military situation where both sides deploy exactly the same type of forces? I have always been a proponent of weight limits rather than 3/3/3/3 because of this...

Also, sometimes it is fun to just change things up.

Weight limiting is more fair...and would allow clan/is matches to be balanced by additional tonnage. this is how the mechwarrior registry ran for 10 years...
