Adjust the restriction on the number of medium mechs that can be selected from 3 to 4, 5, or 6 medium mechs during group creation before launching into a match.

Seeing the medium Drop Que at 50% medium mechs made me think "that actually makes sense". From a balance prospective I did not feel that an over abundance of medium mechs was a problem during the 50% highs after the storm crow's release. I personally would love to run a full lance of Medium Mechs or even half the Drop Deck.

What Do You Think??

Honestly, I have been thinking the limit for ANY class should have been 4 for a while now. This would prevent the 4x3 from becoming a rigid rule in 12 man drops.

Possible exception for Assaults but the others should be fine, after all Lights are the best class

I must fight among my medium brothers, (and it's always fun to bring out a heavy for easy targets too!)

You can do that! 4x40=160, 4x55=220 both within [140, 240] dropdeck range for CW.

I'm not a super fan of the 3x4 system for non CW queues, but if you open the current L/M/H/A vs /L/M/H/A to allow 3/4/2/3 vs 3/3/3/3 or 3/4/3/2 vs 3/3/3/3 you potentially map a Cicada to a Timberwolf or Direwolf... I'm not convinced. If you mean to allow 3/4/3/2 vs 3/4/3/2 than we have that in place already (except for the group-queue ofc).

Do they even enforce 4x3 anymore? Thought they gave up on it.

It is one of the first things that MM loosens when matches are taking too long.

[Jody Von Jedi]

In the Public queue, the release valves in MM will allow matches to kick off with nearly any possible combination now. I've been in matches lately where there were 0 light mechs. The teams however will be balanced per weight class.

I think the OP is referring to the group queue, where 3/3/3/3 is still enforced. It is a hard lock. You can't launch with more than 3 of any weight class.

Jody is correct I am referring to adjusting the 3/3/3/3 restriction applied during group creation. By allowing groups to form with a larger concentration of medium mechs it becomes posible to build drop decks that uniform and can take advantage of tactics related to running a larger group of identical mechs.

The more I play this game the more I think Pushing the Medium Majority would improve the PUG Drops.
