Let me give you all the view from the lowest tier of the Underhive. And I know I'm one of the worst, my k/d ratio is 0.20 and my won-loss numbers are 180-304.
(Insert sound of putting steering wheel aside)
What I'm seeing is inconsistency. I seem to get a lot of unit tags like -MS- and SJR that I didn't see before in the old Elo days. I've heard that those are top tier guilds, and I'm Tier 5 clearly, so either the tip top of Mount Tryhard isn't what were being sold or more likely, PSR makes mistakes and loads T5 with T1 when it can't find enough matches. And usually, they're all on the other side. The more of them I see (and sometimes it is a lot), on the other side, the more likely it is that the game's going to be a thirty-second affair for me where I maybe get off one shot off before I get instagibbed. My average damage over the last three nights has dropped from 300-400 to 30-70. I still can manage a game where I rack up double digit assists and 400 damage but those are few and far between, most solo queue matches are drop, immediately get killed by someone I can't see, wash, rinse, repeat.
Three nights ago, it was ROFLstomp after ROFLstomp and I couldn't do anything right. Two nights ago, I was a Goddess of War packing four large lasers of doom, that could do no wrong and able to notch 150-200 damage per drop. I had one run in Crimson Strait with ten assists and a kill-in a Jester! For you guys, that's a subpar game. For me, that's a match for the ages! I actually was stupid enough to think that I was getting it. Last night, back to getting bumrushed and seal-clubbed every single time I queued up like an episode of the Keystone Kops. I was getting target-priority selected over Dire Wolves standing right next to me and focused down ten seconds after first contact. I didn't know I was that much of a threat, but I guess someone thinks I am!
PSR really is a mixed bag. Sometimes I get the best games ever. Most of the time it's the worst ever and God knows why I keep trying...but it's like gambling, even though the house always wins you keep hoping you get three bars in a row this time. But this idea that top tier players don't get to seal-club in the Underhive anymore simply is untrue. It happens a lot. It happened to me all night long last night.

That is my experience too, I do not know which groups are regared as good but now often 2/3 of the team have a unit tag, granted it is not a sure indicator of quality but yes it has increased, the percentage of people in a unit that is.
