Unfair match making is happening.

I've seen multiple premades today where I get grouped with noobs/trial mechs against premades with Atlas ECM and Pretty Baby. While my team gets stuck with 2-3 light mechs, I've only seen my opposing team with all Medium/Heavy/Assaults.

Its one thing to match up 4 man premades while none of my teammates are premades. But pinning the noob/trialmechs with premades while having lighter mechs is just unfair and ridiculous.

Please look into the match making system. This sh*t is burning me out quick. Just got back from a 2 month break thinking things are getting better and it's still unbalanced in so many ways.

Take off a couple more weeks and let MM phase 3 get through its initial stages of implementation.

What really hurts is when you drop with a mix of Medium, Dragon, 3 atlas and 3 lights- mostly trials or non ecm with no tag and maybe lrm boats

they have 3 ecm atlas, 3 ecm streak 3ls,an ecm cicadia and a 6x6srm cat (gauss, ppc or lrm for long range fun as well)

BURN ROLL STOMP...not helped by poor in game comms (yeah you really need Team Speak and to group and friend etc- which is also harder to do in game than it should be. Having played on Xbox Live since closed beta I wish for a xbox lobby style system)

Not necessarilry a totally true story

PS
Really Really do recommend the TS thing and look forward to new MM
PPS
I blame Garth or ECM or Both

well that really happend rarely.. for ne it never happened. It matches weight classes, so it's very unlikely that you are in a team with 2-3 lights and they have no lights at all.
However i agree, those guys running 4 man premades all D-DC are just lame. On one side i respect them for bulding a setup that works so well together, on the other hand.. well, it's not that hard with the DDC and all ECM to play against pugs.
Rigth now i am playig and it feels like i am grouped with fools and nobrainers, but well... i also had other times

@OP

Sorry, you're wrong. Just because you don't see them, or don't recognize them for what they are, doesn't mean the MM is broken.

Show us some screenshots of the end of match screen, as evidence. Better yet, send those screenshots showing your alleged mismatch to support@mwomercs.com .

No it's broken, iv'e seen so many mismatches that i just ignore it now. Its been broken since implementation, although it has gotten better since phase 2 came in.

Iv'e had this same signature since before Matchmaker phase 1. because why? MM is broken.

EDIT: Although MM is broken, i would not go so far as to call it "unfair". That just sounds crybaby-ish to me.

I've seen it happen, once in a blue moon. It's not the common, everyday, thing that the OP is asserting.

Unfair matchmaking? What matchmaking?

When did they add matchmaking to the game?

[Fuzzyhead]

war is never fair..

And if the matchmaker doesn't mess up, it is one of the many disconnecters that has to farm his C-bills in an Atlas to really screw the tonnage balance.
