I thought weight classes were matched between teams prior to start.

Jumpsniper team vs probably brawler team. Superior positioning won, end of story.

It's obviously a brilliant advert to attract PUGers like me into the thrilling world of organised play in MWO.

Despite what your man may tell you, weight DOES matter.

Remember this well, ladies.

Forget it.... that's just a pgi marketing gag!! The matchmaker takes what it can get.... (except in premade 8 vs. 8)

I'm assuming the other team was all (or mostly) LRM boats? Not that great without a dedicated spotter or two, particularly on a map covered in buildings.

Who even said weight mattered anyway? I actually find Atlases are one of the least competitive mechs in 8-mans because they're slow, their torsos are easy to shoot out, and they have horrible dependency on ballistic weapons to do any meaningful damage.
