I actually saw some ambush OMS games that looked like they would be stomps turning into respectable loses or narrow wins and it was always because the losing team got their **** together.

In one, someone from my team placed a drop uplink in a perfect position (don't know the map names, but the one with the raised concrete and pipes going over a deep depression; the uplink was on the corner where there was an installation) and the clone count went from 60-30ish to 0-13. The other team was dominating us by constantly pushing onto the retreat DL.

Once a DL was put in that position very far from the enemy line (instead of in the next defensive position behind the current position like where I kept putting them), the opposing team kept doing that same push but now running up the corner to the installation and tanks separately up top against my SL, the installation, and a forge gunner. Killing the infantry running up the corner was like shooting fish in a barrel.

I came out of that match something along the lines of 20/13/5 and my gun game is meh at best and on bad days just plain bad. Just proved to me that even with good match making there will still be some lopsided matches because one team just fell apart or never got it together in the first place or half the team team decided to red line snipe or AFK in the MCC.

Out of the 10 mcc matches I played, I lost 9. Only won the 10th match by pulling out my thale and camping the mcc roof. Seemed fitting for the occassion. Even though I lost the 9 matches, I got first place on most. Scotty has too much faith in my motivation .
I have always been a solo player in every game I play. That will NEVER change.
In the two years I've been playing dust, I've squaded twice. Im fast pace and people can't keep up.The thing that gets me the most, giving someone a ride, jump out to drop a link and they jack my ship. Then I waste half the match chasing it down just to crash into it. (Principal and I don't want an enemy making money off my loss).
I'll be uploading a pic of my wallet tomorrow showing a horrible loss streak. I did check score boards at the end. Either I was matched with a team of noobs or boosting was going on. Same people too. 2/35, 1/25. Both in the 9th match. Sure proto stompers will say matchmaking is working. They like easy kills. Matchmaking needs to be based off total SP or KDR. Not what it is now.

In that case, no amount of matchmaking fixes will cure that. If some players don't want to be team players or at least put more effort into pushing the enemy away, then you can't force them to. It's like trying to cure stupidity.

All our data says that battles are massively more balanced after the fix. I might even write a little thread on our findings once Delta is out.

HERE IT IS: The worse loss streak in Dust history!

9 losses 1 win! I have 60mill SP. Imagine how the new players feel!

Don't be a d!ck. Let him think he carried the whole team with his Thales. Do just the opposite and stroke his ego. "OMG dood, you are so good with that Thales bro. Can you teach me" . He is in for a wake up call when Delta drops and he cant redline snipe as easy as it is now.

Soloing does NOT mean you are stupid, not a team player, or you have lack of effort.

Thats sort of like saying special forces or airborne troops are really ****, because they are not part of with the larger force.

I know you can't fix the players and I'm really hoping that these players continue to grow. Until they do, I play ambush. Humor me devs, just check play some domination and see how it plays out. It's just not that intensive or even battle worthy at times. I know it can't be fixed on CCP's end really. I don't think they can because like I said, players need to be seasoned more. That's not on CCP to administer of course.

But I play only Ambush for a reason. Couple of guys I talk to in game feel the same way. It's why I made a joke thread about finding Oceania in domination. It is just as barren and non competitive as that server was. Also another reason why I made another thread "Adopt a Blueberry".

Heck, I'm even thinking about helping Fox out so we can help the playerbase which in turn helps the community of Dust to have more fulfilled battles. I think plenty of players are not understanding what can be done in objective games. It might be a bit intimidating for them to grasp.

TL:DR? It's not really the matchmaking system. I think it works fine. I think we just have to nurture and guide the young padawans in New Eden. Water the seeds and the garden shall be prosperous.

It seems as though the new formula takes win/loss and kill/death into account.
You may have gotten some fraudulent k/d w/l having players on your team against some players with legit k/d and w/l ratios.
Formula is new and it will even out eventually.
Just guessing. May be wrong.

So all day I've been solo and pitted against 1-2 full squads and none on my side. I understand my MU is good but I can't play 6 roles at the same time.
This game is no longer enjoyable solo. Looks like I'll pubstomp with a full squad now =ƒÿç

Play more ambush.

Lol ambush is where you will most likley get proto stomped

Keep in mind that some players have padded their stats quite a bit using "questionable" tactics while others work hard for those stats. That and we were all playing under a team-building system that was broken during that time. CCP Rattati or CCP Frame said that our MU was already adjusted from the beginning using data gathered from us months ago. That said, I suspect it will be some time before the MU gets adjusted based on the new system.

That's because the current system doesn't include jack **** about what actually makes an actual balanced fun interesting battle. Now it's just the few players that carry the team, at least you had used to have a few matches were you could switch roles instead of doing the same thing in the hope of winning.

So far when running solo since the change, every time my team has been stomped into the ground it has been because no one was placing Drop Uplinks.

This man speaks truth!! How many times I find the entire map devoid of any (usably placed) blue uplinks. Forcing me to switch back to my spawn spam fit...

Everybody can place a link people! Want to win more games? Start every game with a suit with uplinks and keep refilling when you need to. Don't wait for a blueberry to do it for you.

Maybe this will motivate you: It's getting WP easy mode too!
