Mmr for mentor matches should be set to the mmr of the new player. I can't imagine many level 1's wanting to return to a game after 7 or 8 Hades division engulf them ad  nauseum at 55% mmr on Low Blow while everyone else is chasing down 4 or 5 engineers.
  It might mean an easier ride for everyone, but if the idea is to help bring them into this world and get familiarized with their characters, then that's how it should be set up. Try and see it from the level 1 perspective too. Alongside them are level 100+ players. I I don't know about you but if I'm the starting player  feeling the pressure to not let the team down, to pull my own weight as best as I can. Reality is, the level 1 is completely useless, completely ineffective at dealing damage, feeds the elites and a complete hinderence to the team. If this is the point of mentor matches, it's stupid.

Please fix it. Exactly as described. I shoot enemy or antag and the red line is there but it's not taking any health. It is very important to me that this ability works as intended. And I know it won't drain if I'm over 100 health and the gun I use most is Shy. When I'm in a battle with an elite or antag it's life and death and when the bugs don't bite it really sucks..

Please fix it. Rage inducing situation. Elites never miss their cqc, maybe Harec is recruiting the wrong people to liberate the broken planet. I have the embarrassing screenshots to prove it 

Surely this is a bug right? 

If we need to roll for the blueprints against our teammates fine, but I am tired of spending countless hours winning matches, tolerating rage quitting 'noobs' and long matchmaking queues for Cortez to let me know "Oh, better luck next time."

Look Mercury Steam, there are things about the game that aren't to my taste (Splitting gold/faction, Forced PVP, Cheap difficulty/bullet sponge adds at higher levels) But I try to look past these things because there is more about the game that I love than I dont.

However, there are people who like Antagonist pvp, there are people who challenge themselves to reach 100 mmr and make that climb despite the crushing difficulty. There isnt anyone that is fine with scoring a 9.5 on a level and not getting a crack at a blueprint.

Mercurysteam, Noone wants to win a map and not get a chance to get a blueprint. Everyone would be happier if a win meant 100% chance to roll for a blueprint. They may see it fall to a teammate and need to try again but EVERYONE would be happier knowing they just need to jump back in and get that W.

A hard fought loss should perhaps come down to Treasure Hunter % with a 25% chance to drop. For a win maybe Treasure hunter % affects chance of rare appearing. Listen to the feedback MS please. This change is reasonable, fair and most importantly, a change that EVERYONE playing the game would agree with me about.

So if this is a silly question I need you to deal with it 
Is a finisher the end result of a successful grapple or cqc melee knockout or the glowing body aleph stealing climax of taking out a player or elite, or both? I was going to use a card for Mikah and instead of field test it myself I was hoping one you in this great community could let me know. Thanks

Here is my concern about this. When im not in a full squad and just matchmaking this is what happens 75% of the time.

XjabberwockieX - lv.107  MMR 60ish
Randomguy - lv.15
Randomgirl - lv.5
Ragequitimminent - lv.1

Very, very quickly the shit is out of hand, Especially WITHOUT an antagonist surprisingly. The lv.1 rage quits 3 minutes in, probably never to return because their bullets are bouncing off lowly foot soldiers instead of hurting them. And while the lv.5 is running in circles dying nonstop soaking up all the lives, myself and lv15 struggle to overcome the constant waves of reinforcements that are probably in the 35 - 40 mmr range. Needless to say I lose alot more of these than I win.
  My question being, why are the missions structured this way? At a certain point it makes matchmaking a nightmare,  getting dropped into mission after mission with a level of difficulty that particularly  isnt fair to the lower level players and when they rage quit it leaves me up shits creek.  Why not have the difficulty structured more around the average level of everyone there. It may mean an easier time for the higher level squadmate but hey, that level 85 put in the time so if they are godlike for an occasional level with beginning level team, they earned that.
