And you have to wait a minute and a half for a match on a routine basis :>

If you want more balanced tonnage matches, hop into group queue or CW. the 3/3/3/3 rule is much more enforced because groups of 4 or more can't take more than 3 of a weight class.

Lights generally do unfavorably in normal que because its TDM. In TDM the most dakka wins 95% of the time.

I do fine in in the PUG queue currently I can not play CW do to computer reasons. Sides it takes me and others time to find a match and when we do I am getting floated down to the minor leagues, where I must say a tutorial is a must

The point is at 3% I should be able to find a match rather quickly, I can not even fathom the wait times for heavies when they are upwards of 60%. Course per my unit the wait times for CW can be upwards of 30 minutes unless an event is going on.

Don't worry Urbie is coming.

Being a heavy and assault pilot... I fear lights and fast mediums more than I do anything else.

Especially when I get caught with no team support...

Sadly, the community intelligentsia has everyone convinced that the only way to be competitive is to roll with the biggest guns.

[Kalimaster]

Lights falling apart again. Gotta fix that. Pass the wrench and duct tape.

[Theodore42]

3 percent is the number of lights in the queue, not playing the game. Every match has at least a Locust and a FIrestarter.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

Lights are unpopular because they cater to the tweaker play-style that other games do so much better. There are a dozen twitch-shooters out there with better graphics, response, and insta-gibs.
The playerbase tends to be attracted to the slower play style and durability of the mechs, most people who want a faster paced game with faster kills, will look elsewhere.

I really hope the Urbanmech succeeds, because it will be a strong indication to PGI about what the MWO supporters are looking for in a game. Money talks, as they say.

Assaults, heavies, and most mediums can kill or "instagib" people faster than the majority of light mechs, so that line of reasoning isn't really valid.

As a light pilot, the thing that keeps me from playing now is the lack of benefits from role warfare. There's very little value in spotting in the pug queue, unless you get lucky and a bunch of your teammates happen to be rolling LRMs

...Or it's tournament time and folks are rolling Lurms for points.
