Not the worst epic fail, but this has got to stop.
Yeah I know life in pugville, but this is insane.
5 days in a row now, trying to level some mechs with this insanity.
Dazed and Confused is highly appropriate.

Always great leveling mechs at your usual elo level. Much fun, cost me 0.11 k/d ratio for the adder and the nova.

This happened to me right after the voip introduction (not that those two things are related) as well. I payed close attention to my match results and numbers and checked my match history in my profile and was getting weird inflation with my amount of matches and inconsistency with recorded wins and losses (losses were maybe 1-2 off, but I should've only had a couple wins, yet it was recording many (which has since corrected). I would suggest keeping tally of your matches and keeping track of your match history and making sure it is recording it correctly. (if it's not recording it right, then there is no way that the MM will work properly for you).

(if you find inconsistencies, let support know. They know that I had the issue and I am on "let us know if it happens again" terms)

So the team lost 12-2... That happens. Don't really know what the problem here is.
If you really lose 5 days in a row I have some bad news for you. :/

[RazorbeastFXK3]

Heh.. I've had multiple battles in a row (four or five max) that were 12-0 to 12-3 wipes on the losing end. Gotten to the point some days where I'm just happy I get a kill regardless if my team wins or loses.

Then there are the nights where "All I want is one win so I can use up the x2 XP bonus and go to bed!" Ten battles later still working on getting into a winning team to use up the x2 XP bonus.

I've been in a few battles with/against you, Novakaine. You're pretty good. Always a pleasure fighting alongside and against you.

I bet you were running lurms too.

Nothing to see here guys, move along.

[Iskareot]

I swear.,.... no joke or bullshit I think someone made a change to the system because this weekend was even worse then a contest weekend for a free mech.


I really wish we would tier the MM system... to at least some sort of ranks vs each other.... let new people fight new people and so on... This **** of carrying people sucks ass.

9 people on his team didn't even break 100 damage. That includes 2 of his team's assaults, which were also hero/Loyalty mechs, implying the players should have at least a passing grasp of a clue.

In other words, his team got all the donkeys, which is a bad MM failure.

[Novakaine]

This what I do with lurms you preening popinjay.


or this....

[Zensei]

I'm under 10 million C-bills just trying to level the Resistance Mechs, its so bad I had to go back to anything but the Resistance to build it back up, all the while taking steamy dumps from The New Guy, yeah its been real fun lately.

I see why you lost. You had one of those HHoD guys on your team.

This happens to me all the time. MWO PUGs are feast or famine. The MM isn't working right, but PGI is too consumed with CW stuff to look at it.

I'd love to see a screenshot contest to see if we can find who's been on the team that had the lowest possible average score. Not counting people who did literally 0 damage, because those are usually AFK or disconnected. But matches where everyone tried their best. Does anyone have screenshots with an average below 100 damage?

[Dirkdaring]

I've had more close games than blow outs. You will always get a few like this tho.

Noticed at least last night, that there were big spikes in ping for all players - this had a big effect; all the games we had were 12-2/12/0 wins/loss. we had rounds with players at 700, 1200ping, most us aussies were around 4-500.

Gave up in the end.

Hope any Americans that experienced this enjoyed an insight into MWO with a low ping..

PGI plz fix.

This weekend has been really crap as well in regards to big losses and being on teams that just don't work well.

Maybe I got into the ELO Hell bracket again, maybe MM has cycled me back to pain setting for a while.

A bad stretch happens when to happen into elo hell and timezone strangeness. This happens especially for me when going from elite to master. The match maker is doing is job by adding up total elo and doing best fit for tonnage/ class. I'm sure you will be back on top where u feel u belong soon.

[luxebo]

@Novakaine you see that SJR guy on the other side? Explains everything.

Also note that your side got 4+ trials, potentially more. Hellbringer trial, Mad dog trial (the other mdd-prime), Treb trial, Raven trial. Potentially dcs too.

Happens, can't do anything about it. Sometimes you have newer players on one side versus a super ultra elite comp player on the other side. Just hope for a better match next time and fight on.

I think the funny part here is that 9 team members did less than 400 damage COMBINED lol
