We're still seeing WAY lopsided matches. Are we sure the new system is working?

[FupDup]

Are you sure you're T1?

[Gas Guzzler]

Why would you assume you are tier 1?

You do realize how snowbally this game is right?

[Escef]

Fighting only players near your own skill level will not prevent stomps. I don't know why people thought they would.

Elo and match making was never the primary cause of stomps.

This new system will not change the overall outcome of games.

Yeah **** happens, people make mistakes, people are low on sleep and just had 5 beers and aren't playing really smart. Maybe people have a cat sitting in their lap, kneading their leg. Maybe someone is just kicking back and watching TV and playing MWO on the side. So many variables. Just because someone is good doesn't mean they are on their A game 100% of the time.

Which is why this is much ado about BS and the game needed[needs] casual and comp queue.

At least they didn't tier mechs, cuz I'd have already been out the door without a sound.

[Aetes Nakatomi]

I am in Tier something, we are still getting stomps most matches. But 1v1, assault vs assault or a light fight on a cap point... It seems to be much closer. Also even the stomps feel more fair, overall I like the new system.

Yeah, there is probably rationale for not having casual and comp queue, probably having to do with buckets.

dunno, havent see stomps in my tier. but i heard stomps still happens in tier6.

[KraftySOT]

Well ive been waiting for the past 3 minutes to find a match...

[Kristian Radoulov]

Pretty sure having my matches populated by lots of 228, CSJx, SJR, EMP means I'm playing T1, unless you are implying people like GMan129 are underhivers too. But take your pot shots if it makes you feel better.

I think Escef and Soy might be right though. I was probably mistaken in thinking closing the skill gap in matches would lead to consistently close matches: too many variables it would seem.

It's all a social experiment. PGI put us all in Tier 5.

Tier 1 players will also see Tier 2 and 3 players. Obviously there aren't going to be 12 Tier 1 vs 12 Tier 1 matches all the time.

I don't think anyone would take any pot shots at all if you didn't arrogantly assume that you were without a doubt in Tier 1.

You could also be Tier 2 or Tier 3. The patch notes only specifies that T1 will never see T4 or T5.

So out of all the possible tiers, one of which (tier 3) would encompass the majority of players, and you automatically go, "I'm T1 guys! T1!!!"

No offence meant here my friend but you tend to rub some people the wrong way so yeah there are gonna be people who take their shots when they can.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for content creators like yourself, especially when you cover a game I enjoy so much. That being said, I don't religiously follow your videos because of your attitude sometimes.

[Sky Legacy]

Isn't it too early to tell what tier you're in because presumably it doesn't carry over the ELO, it resets so presumably the system needs a few days to sort of truly work its way when you play enough games? Anyways I seen Kristian Roudolov in match previously so I guess I was in over 9000 ELO along with him LoL

[Syrkres]

You will at the start.
Again because they averaged everyone since 01/2015.

So if I didnt play much I am likely to have a lower PSR, thus getting grouped with others.

It will take a few weeks for people to properly shift to the right spot.
