Just wanted to see what would happen as I tracked all this.  I started by joining a 3 Star TDM match with 11 players, and then I stayed in that lobby for the next couple hours.  I never left a match (till the end), and never left the lobby.  I wrote down the highest MMR at the start of the match (using "srd"), and also how many mechs started the match when MM was sorting.  Sometimes I also wrote the top score for each team.  Here are the results.

 

Match 1 - 1600 MMR - Final Score 31/32 

Match 2 - 11 Mechs Start - 1600 MMR - 28/34

Match 3 - 7 Start - 1650 MMR  - 38/20 - Top Scores 402/146 (I suspected a smurf in this match, but he left at the end)

Match 4 - 10 Start - 1650 MMR - 40/14 - Scores of 480/199 (Worst match of the night.  The smurf was a rank one Berzerker with 15 kills and 0 deaths.  Left after the battle.)

Match 5 - 11 Start - 2150 MMR - 36/15 - (The enemy Scout was the 2150 player, and their team also had a Technician.  Scout left after the match.)

Match 6 - 10 Start - 1600 MMR - 27/23 (Winning team had a Technician)

Match 7 - 9 Start - 1600 MMR - 16/12 (Winning team had a Technician)

Match 8 - 9 Start - 1700 MMR - 40/24 - Scores of 483/214

Match 9 - 7 Start - 1700 MMR - 40/30 (This match had tons of players on the losing team dropping out and being replaced)

Match 10 - 7 Start - 1700 MMR - 28/10 - Scores of 561/183 (A suspected smurf from earlier in the night returned, and was reinforced with a Technician.  Smurf left after the match.)

Match 11 - 8 Start (then 1 immediately drops) - 1750 MMR - 27/26 - Scores of 277/228

Match 12 - 7 Start - 1600 MMR - 40/32 - Scores of 256/233

Match 13 - 8 Start - 1600 MMR - 34/22 - Scores of 272/209

Match 14 - 9 Start - 1600 MMR - 29/24 - Scores of 203/257

Match 15 - 9 Start (then 2 on the same team immed drop) - 1600 MMR - 18/17 - Scores of 265/221

Match 16 - 9 Start - 1650 MMR - 24/13 - Scores of 217/129

 

On the whole I guess I can't really complain.  I had more close matches than blowouts.  It certainly could have been a lot worse.  The smurf appearances DID ruin those matches, as did the 2150 MMR player, and I personally think the Technicians skewed things too.  But in fairness the smurfs and great player(s) left after one match.  I actually got 1st place in 2 matches (1 win, 1 loss), and my MMR crossed 1600 (barely).

 

Anyway, just thought I'd throw this hard data "out there" to see how it compares to the matches other people are generally getting.

Oh the days when it was possible to improve MMR by 50. How I miss them. 

 

Good work kittens. The trend, even with this little information. suggests you are improving. Just don't let MMR weigh you down too much.

Nice work! Seems like matchmaker is doing a good job anyway, smurfs set aside. And nice of you to place first :)

I think at this point all the newbies are the true rulers of hawken.. all the farts maybe take up one server at a time to have their fun for a bit and then scatter about leaving it all to them again... but why make smurfs?.. Just use mm and stomp to your content.

That's about what I see. Every two matches there are a few one-sided matches that balance out. Good data, I enjoy people who just do things like this out of curiosity

I guess no hackers showed up during your recorded day, Kittens. How very fortunate!

Yeah no hackers this time.  That was quite a relief.  Actually there wasn't even much griping or trash talking.  Everything was pretty low-key, which is nice.
