Hey PGI folks,

I have a general request. Lately (the last day or so) I've experienced a number of 12/7 and 12/8 matches. I think something might have changed with your MM algorithm and I'd like to respectfully ask that you take a look. I'm not used to that even a match, 70 to 90 percent of my matches have been in the 12/3 or 12/4 range so something seems off. Can you take a look and let us know when we can expect a return to the historical? This slightly less lopsided hot garbage is making me nervous. I hope all is well in the Great NorthWest!

Stay Frosty,
Cal

Ha, i've had a few close ones too.

I know that's got less to do with the MM though, and more to do with the position of Venus in the vernal equinox and the 4 goats that I sacrificed earlier - and the 2 friendly Piranhas I sacrificed yesterday with an overly aggressive airstrike.

Wait, isn't a balanced match what most ppl want? I'm not exactly getting the request.

It has been prophesied that a 113.4 kph Clan medium mech will bring balance to the MM.

I played a bit in the afternoon, and again in late evening. Each session, wait times for Solo Queue were noticeably longer.

Since PSR is still throwing inaccurate guidance on player skill, though, at best what I experienced was that tighter matchmaking Tier valves cut into playtime but aren't the end of the world.

You were the Chosen One! It was said you would destroy the lopsidedness, not join them! Bring balance to the matchmaker, not leave it in darkness!

Cyclops: It's over BLanner, I have the high ground.
BLanner: You underestimate my power!
Cyclops: Don't try it.

Don't worry !

People will get frustrated soon enough and leave again and then MM will have so very little to work with, you'll have 12-0/1/2/3 matches soon enough !!!

Don't worry mate, Solaris will solve this entire issue right and proper, you betcha.

No they secretly want stomps...
