However I can see why PGI chose not to. I think if they do, they would need to decouple 3/3/3/3. I believe the formula they are using for PSR is biased towards damage done, and I think the upper tiers will have a higher population of Assault mechs would would impede the matchmaker, and delay games 'safety valves' open.
Sure, go for it. Though I don't think it would be necessary.
But honestly, if they had Mech-specific PSR (even better than weight class PSR) then you wouldn't need 3/3/3/3. Your rating would accurately reflect your skill in your Mech, which for most people would be lower for Lights and higher for Assaults. An all-Assault team would likely have a higher aggregate PSR and so would likely face another all-Assault team.
Sure, there would be edge cases. And I'm not sure it would work in the group queue. But off the top of my head I can't see why it wouldn't work in the solo queue.
