The tier system is going to be pretty meaningless when the MM release valves are going to be forced to have Tier 1s lumped in with Tier 4s. The player base is still too small, and with the overseas servers, it has become even smaller.

Except for some reason people like Twinky keep getting in there, I have absolutely no idea how that's happening...

I actually answered this question in the lead up to the joke in the OP.

Most comp players got all their solo queue wins and c-bills in 2012 and haven't had to bother grinding since, so they're going to be seeded low.

I'm not using the NA sever from Japan when I can have a 100ms ping.

I see too much of Mcgral and FupDup in the solo queue.

I'm not as high a tier I originally thought I was.

Hmmm where is Bishop lately?

I just got my stuff pushed in by Fup myself, with one of those better 228 guys and Sean Lang on my team no less lol.

Well, however things are setup at the moment, it's damn good.

You're talking nonsense to be honest. These release valves and t1 playing t4 is only ever going to happen during the game's quietest periods. Even during those periods it really isn't that bad.

Perhaps you're one of those guys who likes to be part of the stomping team in every single game?

[bad arcade kitty]

am i the only one who thinks that this thread is a some kind of damage control of a player who thinks he is a top notch but is afraid to be landed in tier 2 or 3 so he invented a reason why a lot of 'competitive players' may land there?

I know what I am doing in a match, and yet I am still lumped in with players that clearly have no clue as to what's going on, and they do stupid things to prove it. Either I am in Tier 3 getting the worst and best of both sides, or I am in the lower tiers always getting top 3 match scores easily. The most logical explanation is that good players are getting lumped in with the less than good players. With the fragmented player base due to the new servers, I think it's plain to see which is the case.

Vllad hadn't played anything but an urban mech in the pub queue all year, so I doubt it.

......and if you think he sucks feel free to try him.

Tier 1 is going to be populated entirely by pug LRM boats.

Yet my BLR-3S deals more damage per game than any of my LRM boats--by doing 656 damage per game. Meanwhile my most successful LRM boat is doing 541 damage per game and theDakka Whale is doing 584 damage per game. All the while the Battlemaster has more KDR and WLR than the rest.



Your theory is flawed. From my experience, T1 is gonna be populated by laser vomit mechs.

i don't see the logic, it only supports my version

so he happily played urbi for months and then suddenly pgi releases and opens player tiers and he understand his urbi fun could move him to lower tiers so he goes to the forum and makes a thread about competitive players ™ being seeded to tier 2 and 3

656 damage in laser vomit?

Spreading over too many components. Scrub tier.

Perhaps you are not familiar with Solo-Q. As long as I am earning a lot of C-Bills on top of winning, that's all matters. If I am getting to T1 with all other damage spreading scrubs, I cannot ask for more.

I think you're either overreacting or you're finally being put with players of similar skill and you don't like it.

I'm not trying to troll you or be a keyboard warrior. The current solo matchmaker is working seriously well and I only have NA/EU selected as the servers and conquest as the only game mode.

[Scandinavian Jawbreaker]

What I've seen from my own experience and looking at streams (both casual and def T1) I wouldn't make any assumptions about tiers. Could be anything really.

[Elizander]

I'm definitely not high tier. I derp a lot and some days I just run out and die first. D:

[Kodyn]

I think a lot of people are missing the point, and unfortunately I exacerbated that, myself, bringing serious discussion into it...

This thread was clearly meant to be tongue in cheek, if you read the initial post carefully.

Forum Scrub.

Can we get that as an actual title? I want that title.

That's because Twinky throws his rank playing around with Ravens and losing 1v1s to trial Spider-5Ks! So he winds up with us plebs...

I've seen him in Mist Lynxes and Ice Ferrets today...

[Sorbic]

Didn't realize they had decided to show the tiers. Is it going to be player only, view able by all... If everyone can see it maybe I should stop running so many games as a 3AMS/ECM protecto-mech or some other crappy combos.

That or PGI could grant Cbills/match scores for stuff like shooting down missiles and providing ECM for others.

I personally want the title "Keeper of Memes." I really wish we could do custom titles. :\
