Now I'm confused about being in Tier 4. I know you're a better pilot than I am, a maxed out Tier 1? I see you in games and I don't know that I'm a train wreck in those games. So confused...

How in the F are you in Tier 4 man? There's no way I'd buy that ranking - t2 or the top of 3 at the lowest is where I'd have figure you to be.

I can see my top of 4 because I've been mastering mechs for 2 months that I really don't like and been changing loadouts every other-few matches until I find something I find marginally useful.

Tier 3

1 higher than I estimated and almost tier 2.


When I started this game I was trash, unfit to be on a team because I was building mechs like an idiot. STD 200 in an AS7 only goes ~30kph and 2 LRM 20s are horrible on 10 and 6 tube count missile points.

I have progressed much I went from really only played it a little to playing as my go to game.

My K/D was .42 it is .7 now and I'm positive in wins and losses.

I'm low T2, lvling the mauler. I'm good with that.

Mizeur's on my friends list from when I was dropping with him when he was in the Crows. I suppose I could have fallen from relentless mech leveling. Now that I'm fresh from the tournament education on score maximization, maybe I'll move back up.

Have we seen each other in solo queue since the switch to PSR with hard tier restrictions? Elo-only matchmaking was the Wild West once all the valves opened up.

Group queue, even now, only takes a group's average PSR with no restrictions on max/min PSR ranges within a group.

T4, 99% full Epeen bar. I assume it goes to T3 after?

[Naelbis]

Barely Tier 3 here. Which is funny since at one point I was in the top 1k of the Territory Challenge. But I'm not really surprised since I didn't play "meta" mechs for a very long time after I started playing again. I always figured I am only average /shrug.

tried it, didn't work, got focused down everytime I closed in. 2 LPL and AC10 at least got me back to 1.0 kdr with it. It is just too squishy to brawl, too many high alpha tryhards. at least, now i know who to avoid in my matches.

So the old rule, when in doubt, add more LPL worked for me

I know hate lrm's, but at least try this
4 Lrm/5's
1 AC/5
1 LL, it's a mech munchin monster you can swap a lrm/5 for srm for more close range punch.
Or up the AC.
Speed is the key for Orion's no less than a XL300.

Yeah, it does.

Finally got home and found out I'm high tier 2.




I'm cool with it. Now to see if I have the patience/time to get up to mid/high tier 1 lol.

PGI, that's wrong!!!!!

LOL, you scout by shooting things in the face, Yoki. You're a scout like a horror movie villain is a scout

[Fang01]

High tier 3 here.

[VirtualSmitty]

Tier 3, not like I care though.

[Mechteric]

I'm so badass, my Tier goes to 11.

[YourSaviorLegion]

*shrugs*

[Troutmonkey]

I'm definitely tier 1 high. totally not shopped at all. Don't even need a Unit to be this good

[Gideon Grey]

I am stunned. No wonder I was getting my butt kicked this weekend. Was sure I was no better than Tier 3...

Can't believe I am Tier 2.

EDIT: OH! Just noticed the progress bar... so I'm barely Tier2? That makes more sense... though with how poorly I did this weekend, I wonder where I was before the Tourney.

Your performance in the leaderboard is heavily dependent on who your opponents are. It's much easier to get a higher match score against worse opponents. You doing well may be indicative that your tier should be a bit higher, but it doesn't mean only 366 people were doing better than you.

It's been a problem with these leaderboard events from the beginning. A good player with a low elo/tier account wrecks it compared to others.

Or just be Proton, where everybody is a worse opponent

[crashlogic]

Tier 4, whihc is where I expected given that I am grinding up battlemasters
Now tier 3 and climbing it seems. Match score of 538 seems to raise tier a bit, but losing and getting a 415 does not.

Tier 3 @ 60%
pug only
