No thanks. I don't enjoy queuing for 10 minutes to get axed by a 5 and 5 k/d w/l player with pure Solaris meta builds.

I've lost more than 1 game before I even had sufficient lock on time to see their loadout. One dude I think was that 9 RL archer troll build. Just ate the ghost heat and shutdown. I was dead, match was over, he won, yay Solaris.

Nah.

It's not fun for me.

And another point is WHY should I play Solaris?
I can not see any goal, any progress and no rank to fight up
(for example start with lights and fight up my way to assault class)
To me Solaris is the perfect example for bad game design. Total without sense and goal.

The GXP rewards are worthwhile. Everything else is just a nice bonus.

I just wanted my free gxp and warhorn. Just wanted to grind out my 25 games. Doesn't matter if I like the mode or not.

If solaris wasnt the stale boring epeen fest that it is now, maybee id actually try it, but it seems that in the vast majority of games 1v1 fights are really not that great, and MWO is no exception.

They need to make it something like 8 player free for all, that would actually be interesting even if i still prefer team based fights since it adds a small level of thought you need to have and not just sit back till everyones dead and finish off weak targets that 1v8 would be...

What's this 25 games requirement?

Eh ... you know that they actually show your enemy mech right before the match starts and you can see what weapons are on it? And besides, why do you want to see his loadout? ... You got yours, use it the most effective way and kill the other guy regardless of what he brings.

So far your entire whine comes down to crying about being outclassed by better players, who invest time into building mechs most suitable for 1v1 combat while you can't be bothered to do that or improve yourself.

No thanks ! It is non value added.

You need 25 matches in a division (gotcha: 1v1 and 2v2 divisions are separate) to qualify for end-of-season rewards from that division.

Thanks. I suppose I should see if I've played enough.

In the main Solaris screen, you won't see your leaderboard rank for the division until you have your 25 in that division

[Prototelis]

Three kinds of people who won't play Solaris;

Bracket Builders who want a single weapon for every range
Pilots that think they're really skilled, but aren't
Pilots that don't enjoy losing, but refuse to address what makes them lose

One thing I never see people mention;

For every div there are 2-3 metas. Each one of these has a counter. The spectate threshold is a lot lower, you can literally see what your opponents have been running, build a counter, and dive on them in the next queue for elo.

I can't even play Div 6 in the FLE anymore because some rando is going to see it in the watch list and dive in with a streak boat.

I've never noticed that. Possibly because I've never played the requisite number of games...
