What happens: people are being beaten - drop to milita - get beaten worse. Rinse and repeat. There needs to be a separation of player base by equipment or increase rewards. And I agree with someone else's post about removing KDR it may stop people hiding in the MCC
You're not in close matches because you or the opposing team are allowing failcascade morale issues to impede your competitive nature. Also because you're running militia gear instead of finding a happy medium in the standard to advanced range. Also because you are solo and ... yeah... squads are better and a team with decent squad on each side is going to be the best game around. That squad provides the core around which blueberries can blossom into pretty little redberry killing machines.
But I digress.
If I'm in solo ambush chill mode running advanced suit with an exile (or GEK), complex shields, basic plates, and BPO equipment and I start getting smacked around by some dude running a Krin, I upgrade to a full proto team support suit, rep the blueberries, drop uplinks to keep the fight going, and go positive for the match and it's usually (ahem... ) closer than 47-0. If I go something like 7/5 in a regular ambush it means I get a payout <300k and have lost suits totalling 700k isk ... but guess what... that's the point. it cost more to compete with that full squad on the opposing team and it's worth it to upgrade for the good fight.
if i check the board pre-game the next game and don't see any big names or full squads, then i run around in 20,000 isk cheap suits and in the end I am overall ISK positive for the week.
[EDIT: ALSO... higher tier PC-corp full squads generally run OMS or Dom because normal ambush isn't worth the time sitting in the Warbarge and Skirmish is for lolz (and PC map burnout) and it's where they know they can find each other for gud fites. Domination is just that and usually (unless good squads on each team) results in ... domination. For solo play go for normal ambush and just take your licks... it'll be over soon because they are really fast fights and good for generating isk for newer players running cheap gear. Skirmish is typically where AFKers, non-PC corp squads, and bright eyed blueberry solo players fight for the honor of their MCC, so it's very hit or miss] |
