    So if 12 random people can't coordinate they just go into trial mechs.

    Completely
    ignoring:

    - New player experience.


    - Language barriers.
    - Those who've made the choice to turn off text/comms.

    And yes that is preferable to having 300 ton disparities in matches because
    matchmaker sucks.

    I want balanced matches. I do not want unbalanced games mismatched by 300 tons or
    more.

    What matters more ... equal tonnage or equal skill when balancing a match? Unless
    game population increases significantly (likely higher than it has ever been), you
    can really only choose one and have matches fire at a reasonable rate.

    So, faced with this which is more important? Tonnage or Skill?

    what they need to do is have a prelaunch screen where both teams get like an 800
    tonnage limit or a 3/3/3/3 limit or a combination of both. And the game only starts
    once both teams have picked mechs and are under their tonnage limits. players that
    dont pick mechs in time would get stuck in trial mechs for that match. that fixes
    the tonnage/weight class problem.

    I'm quoting your posts out of turn but wanted to reply to this and perhaps
    encourage a bit of reality vs wishful thinking. PGI has said many, many times that
    engineering resources for MWO are slim to none, and what you are proposing is a
    complete up-end of the current matchmaking system and creating a new one. I'm sorry
    to say that this kind of idea just isn't practical, nor is it realistic.

    Making improvements to the current system is the best and only approach we have at
    the moment. This can be achieved by things like improving how match score is
    calculated (which is on the dev roadmap, i believe) so that folks are distributed
    based on skill and match quality would likely get better as a result.

    So, given that major changes to how MWO matchmaking works (like what you are
    proposing) is simply not possible ... how can it be improved with the options that
    we DO have ?
