Because "Forum Warrior Argument Validation Index" screams super serious post.

[Rhialto]

Since patch I only played 4 matches and in every match I asked if everyone was T4 because I was curious to know if I was playing strictly with T4 players or if it was mixed with T3 and T5.

I was surprised no one was replying, expect one guy in second game who said he was T3... so I'm not sure if T4 was unclear (maybe I should have used Tier 4 instead of T4?) or if discussing Tier levels was not acceptable at that point or something.

Then I see this thread freely discussing Tier levels so it must ok to ask.

I don't care of my Tier level, I'm perfectly happy with mine as long as I have fun playing and that is what the game is trying to do, matches us with players having similar stats/skills, etc.

Everyone have something to say now because it's new but in a few weeks I think it would be more quiet in regard to Tier levels.

On the other hand... he took the time and energy to compile the list. I don't know if that is sad or genius!

I'm Tier 4 bordering Tier 3.

No surprise there: I get bored with mechs pretty quick, like to try out weird builds, usually have whatever the newest IS mech pack is and am grinding them through the basics and elites, tend to lead the push, tend to be the door-kicker, my group doesn't group-drop all that often these days, etc.

None of these things points to a high-tier player. 3-4's about right.

I just thought it was funny.

Oh man, with the way things have been lately.... You never know. This whole PSR and Tier thing on the heels of the last challenge, people (including myself) are up in arms about everything and I couldn't remember my past interactions with Alistair. I'd like to think they were civil.....

Unless you are completely serious, then you should feel bad. I don't think that's the case though.

Yea, he was kidding around. A comedic look at how some people think on this forum.

Hey Dawn, they dropped me in Tier 5. So I see no Tier 1s at all now. I feel almost like I'm clubbing seals, but what choice do I have?

I didn't find it funny or offensive... *SHRUG*

Sorry for ever doubting Alistair!

KDR 1.32
Almost exclusively in the group queue with a small ultra casual group. Primarily X5 lately with some HBR-Prime when I get angry.

I don't play much anymore but had to log in to see my tier. 3/4 way through tier 4. I thought I was low end of 3 so pretty close to what I thought.

Add me to the invalid list.

That list is useful for other purposes though.. (_{priority targets})

I'm assuming that list was a joke, given that he almost certainly disqualifies himself from balance discussions for not being tier 1 otherwise.

I viewed it as a joke as well. Nothing serious.

Ssshhhhtttt. My Orion looks like a seal, but doesnt give you the right to make a priority clubbing seal of it!

I'd hate for you to make me a priority, you won't have a chance to get a kill before you die .

That is an interesting spread...

Tier 1: 16
Tier 2: 12
Tier 3: 20
Tier 4: 6
Tier 5: 4

Not really surprising if you think about it. Even if Tier 1 and Tier 5 have equal numbers, the Tier 5 people will be less inclined to post their tier. On the flip side the Tier 1 people will be more inclined to show it off. It's also pretty likely that Tier 4 and 5 tend to be less active on community websites and more casual.

[Scratx]

Right on tier 3, low end... probably because I haven't played that much this year. Did a few matches, PSR was going up. Still, I expected about tier 3, so I'm within expectations range.

Wouldn't be surprised if I manage to hit tier 2 if I take up some serious time in the game again , though. I should, I have way too many mechs to level up.

Sorry what?

[RussianWolf]

Maybe we should pull a Tier 5 team together and set up a private match with the other tiers.

I was thinking of you when I said "tend to be less active" instead of "are less active"
