I've known that match maker hasnt worked well, but holy cow! I just got done with a match where my team had 2 heavies and the rest were mediums and lights. The opposing team had at LEAST 6 assaults, 4 of which flanked us!

So much for balanced matches....

This is actually caused by the matchmaker doing its job. If you see this, it means you had higher tier people on your team, so it skewed tonnage to the other team. And/or that you had a group on your team that didn't fill its tonnage limit.

Yes, it was better without matchmaker. Many 12-0 stomps with matchmaker.
How could it be? But its true.

Do you have any proof for the underlying claim that PGI's matchmaker considers tonnage at any stage of its matchmaking process?

So much for the claims of light mech's being OP then...

The matchmaker needs to be fixed to actually match up players on the same Tier before anything else is even worth discussing; the situation right now is an abomination.

Tonnage doesn't matter that much if you have a Tier 1 Elite player in a jumpy Shadow Cat killing half the enemy team of Tier 4/5 players time and time again.

Once that garbage is sorted out we can move on to more detailed items....
