Concerned about influence in game

Okay, so I've noticed that im losing matches more frequently due to teams having 100% influence before mine, the problem is that the opposing team will have maybe 2 or 3 standing mechs compared to my team of 4 or 5 remaining mechs and our team controlling 3 or 4 control points trough out the majority of the match....

Obviously I need to know what is the mechanics be hind influence and I also feel that a teams influence should slow down according to the number of surviving mechs it has...

As another note how can all 3 mpv players be on my team and we still lose under these conditions????


It just seems very illogical...VERY ILLOGICAL

I am here also trying to understand how influence works. I'm not sure how to control points are weighted. 

Like do you have more influence if you lose a control point and you gain it back or if you don't lose the control point at all?

It seems like some sort of timer is running that has nothing to do with the control points being red or blue. Like after you're starting to get the majority of control points, the influence on the other team is still rising, even though you're taking over more of the control points.

Frankly it doesn't make sense in it needs to be explained, clearly.

One situation is by the end of the game you have control over all but one point, however, the influence of the opposing team is still risin

There are really only 2 ways to win.  Either destroy all opposing mechs or cap enough control points throughout the game to get to 100 influence.

The situation you are describing sounds like for 80% of the game the other team was focused on capping points and your team was focused on getting kills.  Even if you switch priorities at the end and have 4 of 5 points capped if they are at 97 influence and you are at 30, they will win.

Another way to look at it is a balance between mechs with high energy consumption (heavy damage focus) and mechs with low energy consumption (mechanics and ability focused).  It would not be fair if the only way to win was for low energy consumption mechs to out damage the heavies because they don't scale that way.  It would be a straight pay to win game then.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary with what you are saying.  If anything as you progress more of the games become about point control because everyone has 4 to 5 mechs and doesn't die as often.
