Its really annoying to get unbalanced matches and even more so since the last patch. The lat match i had was on polar highlands and it had 5 assaults (yes really trolls) while my side had one. Normally i dont gripe too much on what the other side has but when you are up against 2 stakers, a dwf and atlas and a battlemaster you game is weak when they are supported by 3 lrm boats. I counted myself lucky to have killed a bounty hunter with my stormcrow before i got focused on by several mechs. at the end had i been left alone another few seconds i would have brought down the dwf since i had gotten its ct cherry red. Btw i was using my facehugger stormcrow. 10 spl and 2 mpl

You killed a Bounty Hunter and nearly killed the Direwolf yet it was an unfair match for you?

I AM the type of person that believes a team with more assaults especially one like that where it's one to five should win. But what you described even with them having more assaults and you doing as well as you did... Doesn't sound so lopsided. What did you guys lose by? A lot of players I see say five or six to 12 by the end of the match doesn't equate to a bad match.

I'm under the assumption that the matches are "supposed" to be somewhat balanced by PSI and tonnage... I mean... I kind of think the tonnage thing is true since it's not that often the tonnages are completely lopsided - at least for me. It usually seems reasonably close. If they had five assaults how many heavies did they have? Did you have more heavies?

With some decent light pilots, note I said pilots not mechs, those five assault mechs, should've been five kills for your team.... My PIRATES' BANE should be called Dire Wolf Bane....

Things like Jenner IIC's, Arctic Cheetah's and Fire Starters should be eating assault mechs better than my LCT-PB ever could....

What is you throw decent assault pilots against the light pilots though? If those assault pilots can hit their target - a light, the light shouldn't last that long. I will say I don't think five lights going against five assaults is as one sided a match as it may sound though.

I believe matchmaking tonnage isn't the same XD

Thats exactly one of the main problems of this game. That should not happen. Lights arent supposed to kill assaults en masse!

the final score was 12 to 4 and for the most part my side had very poor pilots. standing in open trading shots is not my idea of a good pilot. I have learned some of my piloting from my buddies in my wolf group and others from watching a guy named pirate something or another making his moves in a locust. BTW i have also capped him one time with a snap shot of srms and i count myself lucky to have done so. my last game i took down a archer and a centurion and was working on a locust when i went down from 3 mechs working on me. The really bad part about this is while i am having immense fun with my stormcrows, my psr still goes down when if you get a kill it should stay the same on a defeat.

I said reasonably close, not the same. I've definitely had some matches where we or the other team was much heavier. But that doesn't seem common.
