When I pilot a different mech will it be a different PSR for that mech or does it keep my same PSR for my entire account/pilot?

Just asking cus I have certain mechs that suck and I do bad in that I just like to have fun in (like an Awesome) so it sort of sucks that hypothetically I'd be in Tier 1 against the top players then decide to bring out my Awesome or some other crappy mech and get owned then drop back down to a lower tier, now bring my timberwolf back out and stomp some noobs and go back up again. Hypothetically speaking PSR should track each mech performance individually so you can be in different tiers in all your different mechs as per your performance in that mech, no?

If it follows the same ELO rules, it's by weight class. So your lights are all one tier, and mediums their own tier, etc.

Nope... Only one PSR for your entire account now.

And that should be ok. Your average will place you where you are.
That way you must choose in which class you are better ...
Therefor in the lore, MW had their beloved mechs and only took other mechs when forced ...

1 per account.

Which is why I will probably never pilot a light mech again.

I fear many will do so.

When a different class is harder to use for a pilot and he is used ad pushed with his heavy mechs PSR he will probably not go try and stick with another class.

I've had to re-evaluate my light mech loadouts. No longer is speed king. Going for maximum utility and changing my playstyle to be more survivable, cannot rush into the enemy mob causing havoc anymore and expect to come out the other side alive. And by utility I mean NARC, consumables, etc. Not metaloads.

Well,
i got 119 full mechbays, filled with mechs from every weightclass, and my average damage/match is between 59 and 258, average XP is between 132 and 3300, time played between 20 mInutes and 14 hours.
I doubt that an "average over all" PSR will help me or matchmaking in any way.

Essentially, what I'll probably see is...

PSR > having a blast.

I don't particularly care for them anyway so it's not really a loss for me. I only ever ran them as a change of pace and I can get that with the faster mediums and heavies.

Oh, don't get me wrong. My ride of choice is a Medium. But I am prepared and skilled to meet the needs of my team in any situation.

I can assure you that nobody has nor will they ever think to call on my skill in a light mech.

[DONTOR]

Ooooh 1 PSR per account . Would much rather its per weight class, but oh well.

Urbies are insanely survivable in the current gamestate, which is weird. I don't even XL, bro. WHAT YEAR IS THIS?!

urbies are pure P2W, biest of biests.

[Tatula]

How about PUG team make up? Is a PUG team being formed by total PSR for the 12 players vs total PSR for the enemy team? Or are all 24 players randomly selected from the same PSR tier range?

[masCh]

I'm kind of torn. I have done well in any weight class, but I can see how we'll see less Locusts and SHD-2H from now on.

I think, if I see the SHD-2H in game, I will call him up and salute the pilot.

Oh I have a blast in my Urbies. Best $40 I ever spent.

So where can we see our PSR just curious haven't found it yet (most likely I'm tier 4 or 5 ) is it on our profile or in game during matches ( haven't been on much recently, been busy)

so thanks in advance fellow mech comrades
