I have seen lots of stomps before the merge. Right now you were breaking even on wins/losses, this month 40W vs 51L and still a an okay matchscore, putting you in the middle of the population. Unfortunately though, when there are events, it also brings out players who do not play often but who also do not play smart either. And due to how the current Tier/PSR is setup many are likely in Tier 2 or even Tier 1. Then there are those players who have played 10ks of thousands games and have worked themselves into Tier 2 and Tier 1 while not even breaking 175 MS avg...
Adding.. I am definitely not a PGI white knight either. Sadly if PGI were to close MWO down now, I would be screwed with game playing. I MIGHT have an hour or two in some other games I have or recently acquired, and MW5 nor Battletech has not really grabbed my fancy, even though I love the Battletech universe (all novels, most sourcebooks, tons of minis, etc..) Just saying...

My average match score is about 130. You shouldn't have to be a superstar to want to play the game with strategy and coordination. I play light mechs a lot and it's often hard to get high match scores. It really comes down to the luck of the draw on the map as much as anything. On Peaks or Highlands, I can't get close enough to do any damage.

Playing light mechs in the beginning of your MWO-career is a hard school to master, since playing lights is all about finding windows of opportunity and a very specific weapon loadout. Start with heavy mechs first until you get a feeling for the maps and how teams generally approach em ... with this knowledge you can utilize light mechs much better.
Otherwise it is all about the right timing to engage when the enemy is occupied with heavier targets or finish damaged mechs off. Strike and vanish, strike and vanish ... this needs a somewhat sophisticated knowledge about being in the right place, within the right range at the right time. Took me around 6 months to get a grip on that.
No need to be a superstar to have decent games on light mechs, but if you fight a armored knight with a letter opener, ye better make yer hits count.

I've got 24 mechs across all weight classes. I prefer my lights because I like the mobility. The assaults are super slow and I have trouble keeping up with the group. I'm still trying to find mechs that support "my play style", which I'm still trying to figure out. In general, I hate LRMs--they are so boring! It's so much easier to get a good match score with my Stalker missile boat, but I feel like I'm driving a Skinner box and not a mech: red circle, fire, red circle, fire, red circle, fire, yawn. It seems like RACs are dominant, but the face time they require exposes me to too much damage. So far, I prefer a combination of LBX and lasers or LBX and SRMs. I'm starting to fall in love with my Huntsman Paket--this may be the best combination of mobility and sustainability for my skill level.
Yes, I should probably try to stick with 1 mech at this point. But I'm a casual player, and I'm just trying to have some fun. I like playing different mechs with different weapon combinations. I'll probably never be good at this game, but I want to play in manner that supports the team. I wouldn't mind getting out of the basement for PSR, though. It feels like the current approach is oriented towards top players. I try not to worry about it.

Since Quit-Posts are against the CoC, this thread has suffered a critical mis-jump.

Edit... It would be funny to compile all the RageQuit posts into a single Hall of Karens. Hmm...
