Our Miko was great. He/she was the saving grace of that match for our team. Being down 4v5 with red/yellow bars is too much of an uphill battle unfortunately. Iām getting pretty over losing, and even the private match AI seems to have gone to crap lately. Tried a private pvp just so I could basically stomp and win for a change. Ended up against a Miko and Reyna comp that stuck together like glue. Meanwhile, half my team are stuck running into walls or literally just standing on the spot not doing anything. Blahā¦
I donāt necessarily want to start another discussion on matchmaking, but I found it interesting that after such a poor match up in the game I spoke about, this is what I got matched with when I stayed in the queue. I donāt know how this is going to welcome new players 
Always a good feeling to win or put up a great match in a situation like that :D. I love when it happens

ive done tons of PVP lately and I have seen all kinds of craziness. I do feel that teams with higher command rank generally have a higher chance to win. There are any number of reasons. Most of the time its a blowout. Iām guessing most of those guys know eachother and are coordinating. Most of the people ive been playing with lately have just been running all over the board just shooting at guys. There was one game where I didnāt even have shards left to buy any upgrades for myself because I was buying all the damn buildables. When we -eventually- lost not a single person besides me bought any buildables and had all their gear purchased. Not only that, I was the one that finished with the highest kill count on both teams. It was just amazing.

That reminds me of a game I had yesterday with Rath, around 15-16 kills 2 deaths, 60ish minion kills, 35 buildables built.
Everyone else on my team: 1-2 kills 5+deaths, 20ish minions killed, 10 buildables
And we got decimated, kinda disheartening when I am literally doing more than 3x what each team member is doing.

Had a lovely fight (we were one of those āintimidatingā five man, high level premades; and if you donāt know, im not exactly a great player) the other day on echelon where we too fought for every inch and we also voted down a surrender- we lost most of our second sentry, but the clock ran out first- make the other team work for it! 
Those are my favourite matches. Where even if you donāt entertain the hope of victory, you fight your hardest to see if you can survive till the end. I like to imagine reinforcements come in after the clock runs out.

So tiredā¦ every game premade 100 vs random low level players.
1 question, why? Why u let premade vs random players? simple questionā¦
1-2 leave game at start or after first death because they canāt do anything, other 0:10 and 1-2 players tried do something. Yeah, tried because enemy just camp at base. You canāt take exp etc.
Where auto-balance system?

I was quite proud of my team mates. The was only 3 pieces of gear activated between us for the entire game. Two were mine, and I only activated my second piece about 20ish minutes in. The enemy team, as you could imagine, had all their gear up in about 5 minutes!
Pretty muchā¦ I think weād all agree that teamwork and communication are the key
One thing that stood out for me was the taunting. I didnāt taunt anyone that I killed (even if I did take some small pleasure out of it) out of respect for how hard they fought. I got taunted once by the enemy Mellka, which was well deserved. I got her down to a sliver of health and chased her down further than I should have. Thumper turret, Montana, and Ghalt came to the rescue. Slowed by the thumper and Montana I tried to snail jump/run away and failed miserably haha.
We really need a post match lobby hey. For all I know, the enemy team might have been super annoyed at us. The might have taken it easy on us purposely. They might have tried characters theyāve never used. All I know is that for me, it felt like a hard fought match with a great deal of mutual respect and sportsmanship!

Iām in the habit of starting every game with this mindset, but then have ramboās for team mates and we just end up getting ganked 3v1 for 10 minutes until people DC or surrender!
I donāt know why. I think it might have to do with the matchmaking wait times thoughā¦ itās a balancing act between time and quality. If matching takes too long because of tighter restrictions, then people complain about wait times. If high level pre mades are matched with low level randoms, people complain about match quality. They should definitely have newbie servers like BF4 though. Matches for people command rank 25 and under only
The new thing now is whites. I got destroyed all day today by teams playing with whites.
My team surrenders to low levels that shouldnāt be in a fight against us we do come at them like a spider monkey till then.

Yeah, I did consider that maybe they were just going easy on us. Or just werenāt trying too hard. Or were playing characters they hadnāt tried yet. But at the end of the day, I had a blast playing that game and thatās all that mattered to me.
Games like this really shine a light on how good a post match lobby would be in this game!
First of all, we should definitely party up. 
Second of all, those are my favorite games. For me at least itās tons of fun to know things might go south, and still make the other team fight for it. Every once in a while you win, which is even better!
On that note, we really should play a match together sometime too! Red bar solidarity

I hate to be āthat guyā but yeah, I had the same experience you did last night (XBOX 1) but the enemy team had 4 lvl 100s and a lvl 94.
Our team had a level 4, a level 11, a level 25 (me), a level 29 (my friend), and a level 34.
My friend and I considered dodging the game and going to play Overwatch rather than suffer the penalty but I said āletās go in and see how coordinated these guys are first.ā
I was playing Rath and it was very rough the first 4 levels.They took our sentry down to a sliver of hp and we turtled hard at our base.
Then I hit level 5 and I started straight up crushing them. My friend was playing Miko and giving me good support. The two of us took over the game and beat them 44-0 with me spinning to win on thier final sentry while their whole team tried to shoot me.
It was pretty epic.
Whatās funny is that the next round, our group of the same 5 guys got matched against a bunch of really low levels (2-15). Match making is sillyā¦ we crushed them 100-0
I was also on last night. There has been some very odd PVP in the last couple days. The absolute morons came out of their hiding places for the double credit weekendā¦I can tell you that. Last night was a whole night of great games- and close ones too. Even the ones where we won 100-0 they were not landslides by any stretch. Just tight gaming from everyone. No double or triple teams from the enemy. Everyone was looking at and using the effing map. Thatās one of my biggest gripes. If you arenāt doing anything and you look at the map and you see your guy 1v1 or 2v1 go friggen help. Not just continue collecting shardsā¦
