For real, this is super cute.










Oh, I forgot to credit the Mercs. It's gotta be the Mercs.

CW is not a good indicator of balance and never will be, because of how its designed, what kinds of players it attracts, and of course the level of influence big faction-swapping units have over it.

Thanks captain.
Much like comp is a meter on what mechs are meta, Faction is a meter on how well the median works. To debate that on here is meaningless, as this is the internetz and more especially the MWO forum. I'm just saying it's super cute, and has been for 6+ months.

Further it is an aspect of the game. Yes, obviously big heads are going to say it's the Mercs that decide the sway, but that is only partially the truth Fup.
Case in point, an IS mix pug can haphazardly wade through a point defense throwing their first 2 waves of mechs into what should be withering fire and wipe out every single objective - there is really not a lot that you can do, despite successfully landing "OP clan damage" as they do not die and can just more or less ignore you. Leaving the enemy team to decide if they want to wipe out Omega with their heavies, or just farm and then take it out with their lights.
I have seen it repeatedly, many times.
It doesn't (or rarely) go the same way or vice versa. On the exact same map, a Clan team of similar or better skill will get wiped.

It's laughable and tiresome at the same time. Also laughable that you always seem to cater to the same narrative all the time.

I mean with that reasoning, we might as well get rid of Solaris and Faction, since they don't really "factor" into balance.

Agreed.

I do have to laugh, because for most of its life the log history was the other color.

Which units are big in Clan right now?

Would be a relevant map IF people were doing FW.

If you take a look at the War History tab, I don't think you'll find that "IS is on a months-long stomp-fest".

Other than the multitude of ties, IS has dominated Clan.

For the first time in a month or so IS gets to dry drop to victory and clan crocodile tears start flowing. If it is so one sided, how did clanners got a victory few days ago? Pls, check the war history a bit deeper before you start jumping to conclusion.

The truth is, many mercs switched to IS yesterday and there was serious shortage of clan warriors of at least average skill.
