I haven't won a match for the 9th time in a row. It has been a stomp every single time.

This post needs more emotion. I mean clearly we have a statement of problem, but the butthurt isn't really coming through.
So. Let's try it again.
Once more from the top.
OP... GO!

I'll sympathize with the OP. It has seemed like I've been in more stomps lately. I used to get into close matches about a third of the time, get stomped about a third of the time, and do the stomping about a third of the time. Seems like more stomping lately... which is sad, because close games, win or lose, are good games. I also seem to go on runs that last a day. Sometimes I seem to be matched up against weaker teams all day long, and the very next day against stronger teams all day long... as though the match making system is recalculating something about me that gives disproportionate weight to recent day's performance but not today's performance, recalculating after each match. I'd be curious to learn whether OP's losing streak was followed the next day by a winning streak.
But I have no idea whether this sense is accurate or just a skewed perspective. Seems like something that would be easily reduced to a statistic. I'd love it if CCP published the average difference between the winning an loosing teams' warpoints and kills on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Even if CCP doesn't publish that information, it would be nice to know whether CCP measures the success of the matchmaking system or has any goals to improve the system, for example, getting the average difference between the winning and loosing teams' WP totals below 8,000 by March or April, if the current average is somewhere around 9,000.
Does anyone think the current match making system can't be improved any more? I'm hard pressed to think of some other aspect of the game where spending development resources would improve the player's experience as much as better matchmaking. Aside from buffing logistics and mass drivers, of course (because I use them).

They can improve matchmaking by making it so only a squad of 4 can enter a domination, a squad of 6 can enter a Skirmish and squad of 2 can enter an ambush.

I may not have a mic, but trust me, you NEED me in your squad if you want to win.
When I'm on a roll, I'm unstoppable.

Maybe its the net result of BW limits gimping what few Logis you have and their ability to shape your battlefield into favorable conditions for you?
OR maybe its a HTFU/GG opportunity?

BW shouldn't be gimping any logis except the spamiest of the spammer logis. I can still get 8 uplinks out in a Gal and Min proto logi suit and 9 uplinks out in an Amarr or Caldari proto suit. The same goes for ammo hives. Advanced suits are only slightly less capable.
The problem is that no one wants to truly commit to the logi role. A ton of people are still nursing their butt hurt over no longer being able to keep their spammed equipment on the field after jumping into another class. As a result, some people won't play logi at all. Friggin' tourists... |

Its not just being stomped, its also being on the team doing the stomping. Redline games are boring for everyone.
close games are the best-win or lose. I honestly don't think that the pubstompers feel the same way

Well, yeah basically. I was just phrasing it in a way that didn't outright call his "Logis" tourists.
Sooo... GG and HTFU opportunity for the win?
