There should be an option to display the total number of different tiers in post-match screen, without identifying the tier of individual players.

E.g.
Red team:
Tier 1: 4
Tier 2: 6
Tier 3: 2

Blue team:
Tier 2: 1
Tier 3: 0
Tier 4: 11

My opinion:

Hidden.

Imagine the toxic behaviour when everybody weeee at you because you are Tier 5 or 6.

"I dont want to work with X because he or she sucks"
"STFU scrub, i know better i am higher tier then you"

Community would be more Salty then it was.

And then come to discover that you would see more complaints about a bad MM.

It's a nice idea, but i think it would generate even more complaints.

that depends only on how good is the tier-mix implemented from PGI side.

Well, in this case. Make only Tier 1 visible and watch the ensuing Epeen fencing match,
Just imagine this with big floppy Yen-Lo...

I don't think any player (good or bad) should be forced into having their PSR displayed publicly.

Make it private like KDR, but include an optional public opt-in/out. Some of us like to see how we stack up against others, and would rather avoid having to use 3rd party sites like mechstats to do that.

I've already seen forum warriors go all epeen on the number of posts you have to be relevent, the tiers are going to be no different.

Public or private, I don't care either way, but I think you should be able to at least know what tier YOU are in.

Also if there is some way to know at the end of the match if you did good or bad to either raise or lower your rating (yes, I know that its based on match score but with the new way it is calculated whatbis considered a good score). I play drunk, and if I can play and keep my rating the same im good, but when I hit that point where it starts to go downhill I need to know to switch games. I need an actual difinitive number, because the more I drink, the better I think I am.

Open to all or private in the forum but people should know where they are.

Not in game, that would be useless and more distraction to what need to be done, kill the other team.

I like that idea but in many cases it would be pretty easy to deduce some players' PSR. Particularly in small group drops. Say 6 people in a clan drop, who will likely all know their tier, and another small drop of 4 from a friendly/allied clan drop. Wouldn't be too difficult to figure out who the T5s are.

I'd rather leave that option out. People always have to blame losses on somebody, and it's always going to be a witch hunt to pin the blame on whomever those couple low-tier scum.

Its starting to do my nut in, not knowing where i'm ranked in the overall scheme of things.
I personally don't care what rank i am, or who else knows it, i just want to stop guessing and possibly having silly visions of grandure.
Make is purely optional if you publically want to share or not.
