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.

I discount the lot of them. During the drop bug large numbers of players got Death star and Ace of spades PGI said they would delete the DeathStars gotten by exploit but a clown this weekend openly admitted to his being gotten by the bug and put it on his tag like it meant something.

I must have dropped into those bugged matches twenty times but it never occurred to me to inflate what I wasn't to begin with so I just discoed.

I think it truly goes to character when your such a douche to do that.

It's much easier to get it on T4 than T1 imo.

As the epeen polishing based on tiers begins, I think this is an important point to remember: there are no tier awards for character.

Tier 1 = top
Tier 5 = bottom

[Ezazel]

I'm low tier 2. Actually so low that i might slip to 3 if i lose a few games. Too bored to upload an image.

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.

well im playing only from MAY 2015. i started with KDR 0.23 (now 0.91) and im now doing 600-800 damage each second match. What is beyond me, that loosing with ACH (200 damage) showed me green bar change, while loosing MAL-R (400 damage) gives me red bar progress. WTF PGI ? Im not even trying understand the mechanism.
Yesterday i played 10 matches, 7 goes green, 3 red, and guess what, my bar moves +- 0.5mm.
Seems i have to play 1000+ matches to move to T4.
Well this is wrong, cause its better to start new account ? LUL, no wont do it. so my long term goal, will be T4.

I mean, The system is not set fine. While people could play 200 matches and reached T1 since 2015, now from T5, it takes around 10000 matches to get there, and i have to win ALL matches.

GJ PGI, better not carry on.

Don't doubt that, I have seen you play.

What stinks is the idiots who cheapened it for you. At least you know yours is legit.

[LameoveR]

PSR is broken.
And matchmaker throw you to your PSR level +-.
By RNG you could be thrown either in a full team of armless newbies who can only hit steady mechs, either in a upper tier team that stomps enemy team in 5 mins.

[AssaultPig]

Ace of spades is pretty random if we're being honest; I've had games where I maybe could've gotten 8+ kills but had a handful vultured, and games where I had 6-7 because I stole 3-4 from others.

I got mine while I was working on basic-ing my TDR-5SS; that thing was ******* bonkers right when quirks came out.

[Smokeyhavoc]

Bottom third of tier 5.... I'll take my steering wheel now thank you

[SnagaDance]

At work so I can't post a picture, but I did check my PSR after patching last night:

Smack bang in the middle of Tier 4.

Must be my penchant for Light mechts as well as continuously levelling new mechs (I'm busy with about ~20 right now) and even using those during challenges. Only if I really need to finish the requirements for a challenge do I get out some of the mechs I just know I do good in.

And you know what? I'm totally fine with it. As I'm having fun. Sure there are games when my team seems to be made up of totally clueless pilots, and/or the enemy are all elite. But you don't see me complaining when it's me doing the farming on opposing bads, or having the awesome team mates either. Put your faith in RNGesus I say and only 50% will go wrong over a large sample size. C'est la vie!

Nope, I'll be down here helping out new players like I do on the forums, telling them about 3rd person, armlock, minimum/maximum range or not being able to shoot through terrain. I tell them it's ok to use LRMs, but also tell them of the pitfalls they may pose.

I've been steadily improving my K/D ratio since the beginning of this year though, so I wonder where that might take me. Oh well, I'm sure I'll enjoy the journey.

They have this tier thingy far too generous, Im a low 1/high 2 and:

Play alone then you will got your real tier rank which will be the same pretty sure

[Jetfire]

T3

I am pretty much continuously running new mechs to elite them as I buy all the packs. Guessing a solid streak in my best mechs could get me T2, not sure about T1 probably not for me, I play too aggressive.

[Satan n stuff]

I'll see if I can pug my way back up mount tryhard, I'm pretty sure my elo rating was higher comparatively than my PSR rating currently is.
I'm still gaining points for now, though it's not that hard to do well in tier 4 apparently, anyway I can't wait to find out where I'll end up eventually.

[Truesight]

Well, upper tier 4, almost 3.

I said T3 before so pretty close to my expectations.

Around 5 and half months of god knows how many sessions of various different kinds of IV chemo, one kind made the whole inside of my mouth break out in ulcers for a few days, that was extremely unpleasant.
So far the treatment seems to be working great, stem cell transplants would be considered if it comes back, but that process sounds pretty scary to me, so fingers crossed.
Waking up to see my pillow covered in massive clumps of my hair was also an interesting experience, free haircut i thought.

PS.BTW congrats man, its a long road, i hope you stay healthy, life is so much sweeter after something like that.

Yea I remember the sores. I did not get them to bad. They gave me a mouth wash that worked really well. I always said that as I was in the process of loosing my hiar, I looked like Bill the Cat:


The worst part Id say for me was the isolation Id have to go through after Chemo and my body's immune systems regenerated. I had a great support systems so I was luck. Just stunk not being able to really hug my daughter for weeks at a time.

Oh and the constant IV that made me wake up 5 times a night to pee. :-)

But I had awesome Drs and Nurses that knew what they were doing and were pros.

So are you at Moffit, MD Anderson, Huctchinson? I was at a great place here in South Florida, Memorial West which is affiliated with Moffit in Tampa.

EDIT: Oh and by the way....Im Tier 4 :-) Gotta stay on topic :-)
