I get home from work and do my usual patching ritual of sitting there and waiting for it to finish.


When the patch is done I log in and the first thing I see with the new mech lab is it showing my tier, which is lower Tier 4.

My reaction...




Steering wheel underhive here I come.

[Daelen Rottiger]

Tier 2 it is

[PyckenZot]

Currently lower end of Tier 2. Which comes as a complete surprise to me as I run fun builds half of the time (and am leveling up mechs the other half).

I must do more damage then I thought

understatement

[Vellron2005]

I think I'll take the fifth on this one..

Not becouse I fear any possible ridicule or the ability to ridicule others with my succsess, but simply cose I think that public classification of people is bad for the system as a whole..

Yeah, this is a "no shame" thread.. but there will be many others where people will be "yeah, he's low tier, so his argument is invalid" or "he's Tier 1, lisen to him"..

And I generally dislike real-life classification and puting people in cozy little drawers, folders or what not..

Your current Tier placement is a very dynamic value.. and I hope to keep my tier value undisclosed for the above-mentioned moral reasons.

So may the spam / flame / insult / mystery fest commence.

I don't really care either way..

All these Ace of Spades titles showing on low tier players.... ive gotta believe a bunch of people displaying it didnt get it legit, they got it when there was that mass DC thing - i wonder why people display titles they didnt really earn properly? I have Liquid Metal that i got from some.. extreme friendly fire at 11 - 0 - and i never display it because it feels cheap.

well, i can say for me i got the ace of spades legit, and I am absolutely flummoxed as to how a positive KDR and a Win/Loss of around 0.99 is somehow low TIER 5.

[Sergei Pavlov]

After my first months playing like an idiot (hundreds of matches on an XL400 Boar's Head, for example), and one year competitively, Tier 2 is just where I expected to be.

[Athalus]

Mid-tier 3. Which is better then I expected, as I've been playing little (and badly) lately. So yay

And so it starts,... the tier-peening!

To clarify the issue:
Ace of Spades = 8 kills, either by luck, skill or a combination of both.
Tier = drop score, either by luck, skill, meta, groupdrops, farming, etc, etc and a combination of both.

ie.
Having a low tier does not mean you did not earn a tag.

Im not saying it about any particular person - in fact i even know its probably easier to get at lower tiers. However considering it is a bit of PITA to get, and lower tier TENDS to imply less games played - i play a lot and ive only got 8 kills once (in an Orion-M of all things) and that was before achievements came in. Im simply saying i dont believe all the people displaying it got it legit, and am confused as to why those people would display a title they didnt really earn.

Just like the Death Stars wandering about. Maybe 1 or 2 peope have ever got that legit

Sorry. I misunderstood you then. My ace of spades got me so hyped I actually capped the match and made a vid of it
As to why people would display a tag that shows how über-l33t they are whilst they didn't deserve it? Kinda retorical question right?

[Evan20k]

1/3 of the way up tier 2. Not bad, I guess. I'm a little surprised.

I have KDR of 0.83 and a W/L ratio of 1.03. at the bottom of Tier 3. D:

[CycKath]

I was expecting Tier 4, so won't say no.

Now to ruin with with skilling up Black Knights...
