Is it just me seeing that QP solo queue (and to an extent group queue),that there is variety in mech chassis on the field? Even more so since Battletech actually! You have the new mixed in with the old, you have the tried and true metas with the rest. And the others are finding they can compete a bit with the meta!

Maybe its just weird chance but seeing Direwolfs to Quickdraws out there along side Thanatos and Fafnirs its heart warming almost, and makes the games more enjoyable personally.

Just seems like less experienced players filling up the matches to me, TBQH.

The quality of match is so decreased that it is depressing.

I would agree but only on weekends (you know weekend warriors?) The weeknight games are fairly nice, not to crazy really.

Yes, variety is up, but mostly because T1 matches are being filled up with T5 garbage. LRM40 King Crabs, LRM5 boating Atlases, Kitchen Sink Bushwackers... junk like that.

I truthfully saw all my +×%@:;&_()'", is custom. I work long and hard trying to get my weapons loads down to 4 groups.

Wait, other people are using LRM5 Atlases? Damnit, the meta is catching up to me

Granted. Switched the MPL for an ERML, and added a heatsink to the engine. BALANCE ACHIEVED!!!

That's all I see.

Not a lot of variation over and above... Bunch a good pile who have even less of an idea than usual.

[Battlemaster56]

Variety yes. But in mechs not so much, what I do see is alot spuds of extremely low skill doing stupid t5 stuff and cowering from a max range small laser locust.

Atleast I'm done leveling my Huntsmen for the third time and moving to my Supernova's so atleast I'll farm heavy spuds during this event.

[SuperMCDad]

I've been seeing some mechs I rarely saw before the introduction of Solaris. Just assumed that there were a few people about skilling up mechs for the arena.

[Villainy]

What I see are lots of mechs that star in HBS' Battletech. It's neat to see, but a lot of them are T5 newbies.

Usually quite dangerous for the first 15 sec of combat, then they run out of ammo. lol

People must begin somewhere. I am happy to see variety.

Jagermechs and IS Orions in particular, I've noticed
