It seems like the at some point, when trying to get games for top and low end, the MM panics and just dumps them in a server at random.

 

There's also the whole "putting a top 100 player and a 1000 mmr player in the same DM because raisins" thing.

Natural selection implies we reproduce stronger offspring. Last time I checked I didn't have sex with anyone here.

 

 

Because you were sleeping, honey.

 

 

You needed to check?

FakeName leaned back in the creaking chair and smiled. �You know, I admire your persistence. However, your argument is invalid.� He settled his cup of what smelled like degreaser atop the table made of a manhole cover between himself and Sir Aregon. �We are a weak species. One of the weakest on Earth.�

 

Sir Aregon kept his face still planted in his hands. He sighed. �We�re not on Earth, though.�

 

�Irrelevant.�

 

�You are disregarding some key factors. For example,� Sir Aregon said as he pulled his elbows off the table and mirrored FakeName�s lean, �did you know that humans have the largest penises of all the apes?�

 

FakeName looked up and met Sir Aregon�s eyes. He stayed quiet. Blood began to flush his cheeks.

 

�That�s right,� Sir Aregon murmured. �The. Biggest.� He accentuated each word with a fingertap on the tabletop. The lights in the bar began to flicker and dim, casting shadows between the two pilots. �Why do you think they got that way?� The flickering lights went dark to a chorus of complaints from the other pilots crowding the bar.

 

FakeName snorted, undeterred by the lack of light. �You can�t verify that.� He leaned the chair back to the uneven floor. �That still has little bearing on my point�. He felt something take his left hand in a firm grip and pulled it away from the table to rest on something warm.

 

The lights came back online. The volume in the bar returned to its normal hum. FakeName jumped to find Sir Aregon seated next to him, smiling. He firmly held FakeName�s hand to his inner thigh. �I most certainly can verify that. The question is,� he whispered as he pulled the hand closer to himself, �do you want it verified?� His smoldering eyes were leveled at FakeName�s. FakeName found himself unable to look away.

 

�S-s-s-sir�� FakeName stuttered.

 

�Shhhh.� Sir Aregon placed a single gloved finger on FakeName�s lips. �I have much to teach you.�

 

Sweet freaking jesus christ i love this forum sometimes. Oh my god this is all gold.

In addition to the large spread of mmr's, there is the smurfing, that some say doesn't cause a problem, that also can add to the imbalance of matches.

Looks like a problem that Reloaded is going to have to solve.  The Hawken community had its shot at it and the results, well, here we are. 
I can't blame high MMR players for simply wanting to play the game, can't exactly not blame some of them for helping drive people away either.

 

IMHO, we would probably have been better off without a match-making system.  Currently, it lumps lower MMR players into servers only to sprinkle high MMR players into the mix when it gives up.  Sure I suppose it puts them in the highest average MMR server it can, but when you have a match-making system, there are some expectations that come along with it.
