Been awhile since I've seen this vent, and I'm salty tonight so I'm up.

Why can't you fix the matchmaker? It is extremely common for all of us to have several (many times exclusively) 12 to 2 or 4 matches in a play session. Either wins or losses, these are games that are decided exclusively by your match maker. They are not competitive matches and are far less engaging and entertaining than a close match. Even 8 to 12 is significantly improved over a 12 to 4. While winning is always better than loosing, why can't you dial this in? If the size of the player base won't support tiered matchmaking (which my experience suggests), wouldn't it be better to just toss your algorithm and go with random matches vs your attempt to tweak the system. From my experience your MM is breaking the game and draining the fun. You need to change something.

I've had my share of tilted matches, sure. But after looking at the leaderboards and seeing how much one person over many, many games can affect their win/loss and kdr, and by how much, I'm less convinced there's a matchmaker problem. You're not seeing 400 games of good players getting tilted wins and 400 games of bad players getting tilted losses.

Then stop playing Solo-Q, OP. MWO has tons of different factors at play combined with a small player population, so chances of having close matches most of the time with such amount of factors is very slim.

Group with your unit members.

Well considering all the doomsayers on this forum you should be lucky to even find a match! Apparently no is is playing this game any more and by tomorrow the servers will be just a barren wasteland.

But in all seriousness, the MM is doing a fine job. Go and play any other online game even one with 100 times the player population of MWO and you will see the exact same thing.

MM cant fix people simply wanting to get as many Games in within as short time as possible . Very often when a brutal Stomp happens, it is because too great a Portion of the Team simply rushing for SoloKills with no regards whatsoever for their Team, positioning or anything else .

Cant blame MM for that .
