as I saw who my team mates where and who the enemy was I realized that both of them were pretty high sp players, players that only run in squads of full proto on both sides and that when we won it was due to our sides proto squad doing better then the other side and when we lost it was because our sides squad had given up
ok thats all fine but then I look at my score and I'm not doing any worse then usual but I see that I am placing last more then half the time which is fine its a very low sp char so I don't expect to be able to do too much
what upsets me is that when I think about the people I normally get stuck with on my main are pretty noobish I just thought they were bad players but now looking at it from my alts perspective I see that these players may be getting stuck with "the big kids" because of their low mu scores, this makes me think that there should be a way to keep low mu players out matches that have high mu players as when one of these newer players comes along for a while they will have a hard time fending for themselves
I may be wrong and that may not be how the matchmaking is but it looked like the low mu players were being put in as filler for the higher mu squads running around, on my main I can have a big impact on whether my team wins or loses but on my alt anything I do seems to not have much of an impact other then making a proto player angry that he died to std NK's or a recruit assault rifle
1) low mu players have a separate queue, there is no "low mu filling" going on
2) what's the alternative to both teams having protosquads and one of them losing? This is a competitive shooter.
3) if your alt is on the same account as your main, you will not go into the academy again, which is where you get your early training.
4) I have player every single fps there is, and there is always a learning curve. Playing COD:AW these days and I go 15/15 like I always do in all shooters, yet there are guys going 50/3 in those games as well. They even have a rating/level of 50 to my new guy with 8. The same exact experience I have in BF3, 4 and Hardline. I have the drive to do better which motivates me. Dust is no different.
