Server Population

[Scyther]

Have to agree that the primary issue is as likely to be server pop as anything else. AFAIK you can't see the tiers of the people in your match. So you get poor players and think "How did they get into Tier X?". It's my guess that while you get some actual players who have worked their way up the tiers and are still very poor players, it is far more likely that the MM simply tries to make an appropriate tier match, allows a few seconds for matching, and if no same-tiers are available it just throws whoever is available into the match.

all you can do is laugh at times, got a team that was full Lurm boats needless to say we got steam rolled. on a side note the last mech alive was a summoner with like 5 LRM15A must have had like a ton of ammo and thats it. but i seem to get mixed in with t5 all the time

I cannot agree more. Now, the below is also no exaggeration as the screenshots are a pretty damn common occurrence for me in the vast majority of my games in "T1".

Both are from US Peak today, not in the dead of Oceanic (which is usually where I play, and I expect it to be more prevalent)






In both matches the team was 0-2 or 0-3 after initial engagements.

There is definitely a BIG problem with the rate peoples experience bar (PSR) goes up in relation to match score. A really big problem.

You really should blank out the names of everyone so it isn't naming and shaming.

Seriously.








Right now the server population is so low that the match making is teaming Tier 5s with Tier 1s because otherwise it would take 10 minutes to drop.


Go on the forums of every game you've ever played and paste links to MWO and maybe some day, we can get real match making.

why is it naming and shaming, we even have public leaderboards now, lol, so everoyne can see the other pilots average performance.

I dunno, but I consistently end up in games where the "PSR" arrow points up, even if my team loses, and when I check the team stats at the end, it's like 37, 110, 253, 41, 171, me with ~800, 11, 312 etc. And then I wonder what the hell happened, and how. We have a solid firing line, a single medium on the flank and the firing line falls apart to chase him. We have high ground and numerical advantage, then three assaults peel off to "flank" and we get over run. And so on.

Like, what's happening. Please try and play with the team. Who are these people. And why do they exist. Many cases of OMG (Old Men Gaming), where 4 LRM10 and 2 Medium Lasers with 15 tons of ammo are hauled around, or mechs with a single UAC5 as their longest range weapon still have 4x zoom equipped, or people see a red dorito and shoot, shoot, shoot, all their ammo and heat into a wall, just because there's a dorito spotted by a friendly.

What the hell.

It's not a name and shame though. I'm just providing evidence to support the point of what I see regularly happening.

There is no slighting the other players, this is an issue that comes from the match maker that really doesn't work or give anything in the way of proper match ups.

Peak US - There is enough population on that matches should be better.
