I just played in the 8 battles in heat 1 and it was interesting to say the least! Started off ridiculously easy to so hard I was getting killed from the spawn site 3 times in a row by a Surge mech which have ruined the game. They are too OP! The length of time they put you in stasis leaves you completely helpless. Just when I think they have improved the match making I find out that I was wrong. It's just complete luck as to the team you get. I am constantly matched against players with over 30k battles to my less than 1k which is annoying. I know now that Mech Arena care only about making money with endless new weapons and Mechs. I am now playing games like Modern Warships and World of Tanks which are so, so much cheaper to advance your ship, tank etc.
