I keep hear complaints where people are saying they garner a lower match rate when their MMR goes up, so why not replace it with a system that takes into consideration your pilot level + what your mech has equiped.  The more, higher tier objects you have on it the higher your 'power level' and the more your put against other people who also have fully tricked out mechs with maximum potential for killing, and if you want to play with less experienced people with less powerful mechs your going to have to take parts off to even the score.

This won't work, because i would ripp of most new players with even the G2 Assault without any items or internals, even if they have all they wanted from the beginning. And iam not even a "good" player, only average to make this point very clear.

 

Another point (actually, not the future) is our small player base.

I don't run items and internals on half my mechs and I'm floating around 2250-2300. Items and internals don't make or break a pilot's skill in a fight.

Are you two also running stock guns? There are a few mechs that are utter crap with the stock weapon but formidable once you hit Rank 3 or 5 for a gun that "flips the switch" and turns  meh-mech into a stone-cold killer.


Still recovering from a neurological incident, spent a couple months learning how to walk without a cane,

figured I'd try a fast-paced game to see if I could get my reflexes back to where they were.

Garage:

A - Infiltrator, Reaper, Technician, Scout

B - Assault (x2), Predator, Raider

C - Brawler, Vanguard, Incinerator

Most of the time I do, but that hardly makes a difference really.  Do you have an example?
