If we don't address this issue steam will be a full on failure when it launches. I was told by someone who always seems to be in the know that PGI is testing and looking at the issue and changes are coming. I tend to trust him because he has been spot on before and he doesn't come here to claim expertise like so many E-peens do..

I loaded my alt which just got out of cadet bonus. I saw the same exact players as I do in my 30k match account. 10 matches one trial mech seen with one new player so ELO has nothing to do with it.

I will wait and see, These same clowns as before were telling me there was no synch drops in solo. My friends and I proved them wrong for an entire month.

They also said there was no cheating including one prolific poster part of the same gang here who is now banned for doing just that.

So in short I have a track record of being right while the gang was wrong. Their being so adamant can only be explained by a fanatical devotion to themselves or to cover the things i am bringing to the surface.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant so when I see I am getting a lot of flak I know I am over the target. Keep the insults flowing ladies. It won't help in the end but it will make you feel better for now. I can wait.

I've found if you avoid playing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from the hours of 7:00AM - 7:00AM this problem doesn't crop up any more.

So your Elo on your primary account is the same as your rookie account... good to know.

Don't know how you come to that conclusion. With the biggest post count on the forums one would think you know everything.

Whether that is true or not, I just have an opinion on everything. I came to that conclusion by playing a few accounts and seeing different players all the time.

No, but reasonable post content is. That's what your posts are lacking.

My girl is a veterinarian. She was trying to explain to me that people are just like farm animals. They always herd together for protection. They tend to pick on the weak and be proud amongst themselves. But pretty much in every fence line there is an outlier that runs the perimeter. He doesn't fear whats outside the fence or the herd themselves. The herd only approaches in numbers and just seem to squawk and strut then move away. Still the outlier walks the fences unafraid of either side. He understands the herd walks in their own bull**** more often than not.

So enjoy walking in your own bull****. I will walk the fences.

Judging from your inability to write cohesive, rational posts, it rather seems like you are walking the feces.

Cool story. Now let me tell you the story from a different point of view. I own 400 head of cattle in NE Wisconsin and have been around animals my entire life.

What you say is partially true. I have seen the outlier (outcast) animal that walks the fence, looking for it's chance to escape. And the first place they go. To the feed alley, where they walk through their food, then **** and **** on it. If the animal continues this behavior, she is awarded with a one way trip to McDonalds.

Your story does explain a lot. But most people here and in-game already know this. You can't play as a part of a team. When you see 12 random people working together, you see a sync-drop. Good players learn how to work together, even without comms, this is possible. Bad players run the fences by themselves, and then make excuses. Blaming their teammates or accusing the other team of hacks, cheats, exploits, sync-dropping etc,.

Losing streaks happen some time. I hate them, but nothing is worse than when a win is required to earn a point in a challenge and you're on a losing streak.

In the challenge to win the Cataphract 3D( C ), I finished 1 point shy of the Sherman camo. I played over 20 games of which 3 were wins, but I didn't get the kill so no point. One win it looked like I was going to get a kill, but a team mate sniped it right out from under me. I killed plenty of mechs on losses, but they didn't count.

Anyway, I had to give up on the camo after being 1 point away. I knew it was driving me crazy and I wasn't even playing good or smart anymore so I knew it best just to leave it and cut my losses (and save my sanity).

So, I know how it feels to be on a bad losing streak, it's rough. I just wouldn't wish a losing streak during a challenge on anyone.

Some months ago, when I bought the AWESOMEs and then I came back to Assaults after many times with Mediums and Heavies, I noticed that MM wanted that my W/L ratio in assaults was circa 0,8. I wrote 3 times at the PGI support, no answer!!! Shame to PGI for this.

Now, for the Hero Tournament I took my Dragon Slayer.... no hope.

MM is the worst enemy of this game, PGI must to know this.

[Imperius]

Dude mudhut you must be super bad here's how you know. Your win/loss ratio you have more losses. Two if you were good you would see trials on your team all the time. Why you ask? Well when ELO is giving new people a win it will put them with HIGH ELO players to carry them to victory. I posted my stats post yours. I do an average damage of 460 ish DMG per match out of all my matches player and my mech has a 2.0k/d you saw the win/loss and even that is skewed when I shown everyone the power of ELO farming in an event that took people days to get 50 wins I did it in like 6hrs via trials, death runs, and ELO exploitation.

If it were, I would obviously be a genius. We both know that is not the case, but impersonation is known to be a form of flattery.

In other words, you don't understand what it is the matchmaker does.

It makes matches. It does not care about the result. The results are logged by the Elo system, and your score adjusted appropriately. Then when you go into a match again, the MM tries to make a match. W/L is NOT a factor to the matchmaker. Elo doesn't care strictly about whether you won or lost, but whether the result was expected. If you were expected to lose but you won your Elo goes up a fair amount. If you were expected to lose and you lost, your Elo goes down slightly. If you were expected to win and lost, your Elo takes a nasty hit. If you were expected to win and did so, your Elo goes up slightly. Matchmaker just looks at Elo scores and tries to put together teams with comparable average Elo scores, with each team having as small an average difference from that average as possible.

We could avoid to write W/L ratio but is the same. How you can write "W/L is NOT a factor to the matchmaker" and after "If you were expected to lose and you lost, your Elo goes down slightly. If you were expected to win and lost, your Elo takes a nasty hit. If you were expected to win and did o, your Elo goes up slightly."?? You don't see that ELO raises or lowers with W/L ratio? My W/L ratio did grow the ELO? BAM in worst team not "comparable average Elo scores, with each team having as small an average difference from that average as possible".

MM put me in teams with so many noobs, 3PV, no mouse, suicides that to win is a real pain. I can score 1000dmg and do 6-7 kill but no hope to win.

What is incredible for me is that for many many many matches MM put me in the worst team, above all during tournaments.

p.s.: now I'm in a streak of wins, 12 - 1, 12 - 2, 12 - 1..... do you think this is funny?
