Had time to play for 2 hours tonight, stomped 4 times in a row due to 12 man premades... super tons of fun, weeknights have really sucked lately due to this problem... Am I the only one who notices the trend?

[LordNothing]

cant complain til it gets past 10 in a row.

[Kumakichi]

Have lost 10 in a row non-premade! Just lucky I guess

I've taken to playing solo daytime when I don't pick up a substituting assignment and end up at home. See few 12-0 stomps then in solo. On Tuesday nights North American time zones we usually have 4 to 6 together in group que (never bother with CW anymore) and see few stomps but a few 12-1 or 12-2 wipes when full 12-mans get ahold of 3 or 4 of us matches with other groups of three or four. I do think time affects things, getting 12 people together is easier after everyone gets home from work or school.

4 stomps? That's it? No offense, but that's nothing compared to the horrible streaks that have happened to me and, I assume (Please don't tell me it's just me) other people here on the forums have had consistently before. Ever lost literally every game for a week straight, with 20+ games each day of said week? I have. Those were dark days.

If you are getting stomped by 12 man premades in the group queue you are hamstringing yourself most likely.

They get 50 tons per player. You'd have to be literally giving them the matches to no be able to make that competitive.

you only had 4 matches in 2 hours? in normal group play and stomps normally only lasting 5 minutes?

I have the feeling you hold back some infos on this. And 4 losses in a row, that's nothing

[TheCharlatan]

Come back when they are 15+. Then we give you a friendly pat on the back.

Cause you sucky in stomps yourself Sell your lurmboat, get some balls and stomp enemy team instead. Or cry on forums. Your choice is yours anyway.

uh huh...
I'm calling BS on this...

4 matches in 2 hours, that's 30 minutes per match.

plus, if you're in group queue, guess what you face off against, other groups. If you don't want to play against groups (12man or otherwise), then drop in the solo queue.

You lost 4 matches. And? Would you be complaining if it had been 4 stomps and it wasn't a 12man? The size of the group you faced has very little to do with why your team was stomped. They are limited to 600 tons for their 12man. That's a severe handicap. That means they average out to medium mechs.

Why ya'll assuming it's group queue? I mean, if they're stomps, the games'd be a bit long, but could just be the wait times to get inna CW.

Sorry OP, we're trying to keep Clan Ghost Bear goin' strong.

If you don't like groups, why are you playing in group queue?

Because there is a very clear sub directly above General Discussion, that says Community Warfare that you have to scroll past to get to the one for everything not CW.

[zachyattacky]

Okay, first of all I'm not looking for condolences lol

-this is in the quick play (NOT CW)

I typically play assault mechs, so I just go were the team goes, if the team even sticks together
-no lurm boating here haha

I played more than 4 games in two hours, just that half hour of play was the most rough

By stomp I'm talking my team only got 1-3 kills, and the matches are over very quickly due to coordination from the other team, yes in quick play streaks of losses are common. I don't mind losing by any means as long as we at least put up a fight.

It just seems the match maker is very iffy lately. I guess I should have blamed match maker more than the 12 man groups.. but regardless it just seems when a bunch of randies get thrown against a 12 man they all panic and forget how to play

When that happens I switch to my oxide or my jenner IIC and carry harder.

Do you expect to not get stomped by premades??

[Yosharian]

I had a bunch of bad games earlier, got about 6 losses in a row. First time I've played my FS9-S in aaages. (turns out 6MPL is a bit too hot these days) Stuck with it, altered my build slightly, found my groove, now I'm rocking.

****'s random man. Gotta take the rough with the smooth, especially if you're playing a brawler/short-range mech or something non-meta.
