Story time:
I was playing as a new character this morning, to try out the lower Mu bracket.
After a while, I start seeing familiar names on the killscreen, going maybe 20/5, which is basically an exit criteria on its own.
I got curious, and looked up the top ranking players on both sides for my matches.
They were ALL alts of veteran players, freshly created today!
Not only that, but I could see all of their second alts, were scheduled for removal.
So tomorrow, they will have a fresh alt, and schedule today's alt for removal.
I am competitive, but what drives players to do this, slaughter players that are in many cases patently helpless?
The Academy is for new players to get their bearings, relatively risk free. Learn the maps, drop an uplink, spawn on uplink, try out the starter fits, scan, and hack.
Whatever, just writing this makes me furious. Just thought I would share that some will go to incredible lengths to grief, or pad their self esteem.
This is the only way they can feel good about themselves. They lead sad lives. Their only friends are online ones, they have no girlfriend, and love to make other people miserable; just like they are deep inside. The new generation is one comprised of narcissistic, self entitled, vindictive little shitheads.

I solo queued for 5 matches today. I was placed into all Doms, and my team never had more than 10 people. By the end of some matches I had 5 or 6 people on my team. Lost every single match by a landslide. I was one of the only players doing anything on my side every time. I got the train map 4 times, 3 in a row at one point. The other map was the meat grinder. The other team had no less than 14 players each time, and every one of the opposing team contributed.
I hardly ever run with squads, there is no way my Mu can be that high. Frustrating...
At least pay me well for sticking around and trying. I was still only getting 200-300k for being in the top 3 and being one of the only mercs on my team trying, and not caring about their kdr.
Turning off the console and doing better things with my time.

Unknown yet. I will give 5 Skirm, and 5 Ambush a go tomorrow. I'll post my findings, but I'm not very hopeful right meow.

Alright. After playing Ambush and Skirm this weekend, I definitely see a pattern. Dom is without a doubt the mode that if you queue solo, you have the highest rate of both the Train map, and getting roflstomped.
Skirmish was about 80% balanced I would say. This goes for both my solo and squad efforts. The other 20% of the time is made up of 15% roflstomps, and 5% a-holes leaving the battle causing me to fight 6 vs 13. I did not notice regular stomps. It was either a great and fair fight, or it was an absolute steam roll.
Ambush, as you have found as well, has actually been the best matches I had over the weekend. This coming from a merc that HATES Ambush. I never had too lopsided teams count wise. 11 vs 15 was the worst I had. 90% of my Ambushes were great, even matches. 10% were some of the worst steam rolls I've ever been a part of. This too, was via both solo and (small 3-4) squads.
Biggest complaint, by far, is that teams are not filled. Yes I won a few of the 9-11 vs 14-16, but it is not fun to start at that much of a disadvantage, especially when you are on the attacking side. My kdr has suffered from this experiment, but meh, don't really care anymore.
