LOL your complaining about ARMD grouping up and stomping.
No. I am
not complaining about people grouping up and stomping. So
do not mischaracterise my pov.
I want FP to have balanced matches, and one way to help make that happen is to stop letting unqualified and unskilled players drop into FP matches.
People who want to group up can and should continue to do so. (It would be even better if there was some kind of groupsize matching as well.)

But this earlier today... You had the 4 man on your side. No one to my knowledge was grouped on my side and not one word was said in chat or on voip the whole match.
That was the mildest kind of example of the general point I've been making. It was relatively even match, but it does demonstrate how a couple of totally unskilled players can screw a team over.
The final outcome in that match was 48-33. Two players on our team did 84 and 264 damage, and lost all their Mechs before the 4th wave. So that's 8 fairly useless Mechs out of the 15 we lost by. And that's not counting the impact of the 12 v 10 in the last two waves, after the unskilled players went permadead too early.
But it wasn't a gamechanger because our team
deserved to lose that match anyway.
It wasn't a "bad" match of the nature of stomps I've been talking about in this thread. Your team played better throughout and deserved to win.
That's why I congratulated your team at the end of the match.
Just FYI I (and the the 4 DSx guys) were trying to get our side to fight more strategically, via chat. If we'd been successful, the result might have only been an 8-Mech loss instead of 15.

Just because the game deals you a bad hand is no reason to remove 80% of the players.
It's not about me or my bad luck in any particular match. It's about keeping the whole mode viable, instead of letting it go back to another desert.
Like you, I can barely convince the guys in my unit to play this mode anymore, because it's either "stomp or be stomped" depending on who gets the unskilled PUGs making up their numbers.
