My biggest issue is that you get next to nothing in points for a loss.  Yo could drag the match out to all five and get all of your teams kills and get like 20 points.  And if your teammate quit during the match, you are just done - wasting time and effort for nothing!!!  Not a thing any complany should want their customers to feel.

If it wasn't for the rewards, I wouldn't play this mode at all, and I ONLY ever play enough to get what I want.  I've quit with 6 tickets still available before because I just can't stand the unfairness and "feast or famine" approach.

This same thing concerns me about the proposed tournament changes and awarding A-Coins only for wins.  Just how many people are now going to quit as soon as things start to turn bad because they aren't going to get A-Coins?  Happens all the time in Hanger Showdown, it'll happen with Tournament too.  

Lots of good tips. I'd still play it even if you think your hanger is not "ready". The experience is very useful. It may take a long time to learn how to play each mech in each combination. If you have top meta mechs, it's more forgiving. If you don't (like me), you've got to be on-point with your game.
