OR:
If you loose more than you win, it might simply mean that you are not as great as you think you are, regardless of your KDR.

That makes absolutely no sense. It has nothing to do with what I think. The stats speak for themselves. My last game I killed 3 enemy Mechs and my team still lost.

ELO is utterly BROKEN...

i had tons matches where we were outtonnaged by 150-200 tons...
obviously it went 0:8 every time...

great. so great.

Small sample but I've had similar results. My team has 3 lights, theirs has none. things like that. so far phase 3 is a total failure.

Seriously.

This is like the best patch ever. Ever.

This.

Is the matchmaker slow? Yes. Does it need several attempts until a match is found? Yes. Is it worth the wait? HELL YEAH!

I played roughly ten games today, and all but one have been really close and thrilling. The winning team had never more than two mechs standing at the end except the one game. But I blame the new map for this one as nobody knew what was going on, including me. Even the teamwork (I solo only) is so much better!

Honestly? I have never had more fun playing this game.

Really? My experience has been the complete opposite. Only one of the ~however many games I've played today was close. The others were just total pubstomps (usually on my team). It's gotten to the point that I can pretty accurately predict which team is going to win within the first 60 seconds, and usually disconnect at that point whether I'm alive or dead.

[ferranis]

I am from the other side of the wall too, only great games today (about 10).

Seems like the experience differs greatly depending in which bubble you are.

[Squigles]

Huh, I've been having great games with ELO. Most lopsided fight I've seen so far was 8-2 with 3 mechs on the winning side a sneeze away from death. Every other game has been between 8-4 and 8-7. Loving this new MM.

Really. I've played hundreds of games the like you discribed, but not today. I never disconnected though.

Maybe you are the problem here.

I for one am having a blast today.

How am I the problem when half my team is dead before I even see an enemy? That all our Scouts leeroy into immediate death and we get picked apart by trios of ECM lights going 130kph? That I'm getting 2-3 kills per game but my team still loses?

Yep it's totally me. Pfffft 3 kills, I should be getting at least 6 right?

[KinLuu]

Maybe you get the wrong kills on the wrong enemy on the wrong time, because you are out of position and do not help your team where it needs help the most.

But I do not know. I only know that I now drop with teams that know what they are doing WITHOUT me having to type it out.

Its like a dream.

Holy S this is terrible, I just played a match that had 3 atlas a stalker VS. us with 1 stalker and a awesome.........

working as intended imho.

[Jakob Knight]

Let's see....

ELO is now preventing me from playing at all by failing to find a match for over 25 mins continuously, and counting.

If this is 'working', someone had better explain how they even have the right to open their mouth.

This game is not about getting kills. It's about getting your team to win.
Oftentimes that means foregoing the immediate kill and going for the greater threat to your team.

"The wrong kills", m8 I'm killing 25-50% of the entire enemy team and doing top damage to boot. Are you suggesting I NOT kill people? Yes, clearly the path to success is following that ***** in the trial K2 leeroying into 4 enemy Assaults so I can "support" him.

True. When I see that my team is bad, I usually just shoot the weakest mechs for moar kills.
