After seeing these posts I understand why I am here in the land of potatoes.
Could be mushrooms.... assuming the base statistics are correct and it's not a load of horse manure.
The archived stats are more amusing though.
Kills : Deaths
-1 : -1
Win : Loss
-1 : -1
Pffff.

By the way Tarogato, nice idea.
Could I suggest you add the % of players in each tier according to group or solo preference.
I would be curious to know if that changes between tiers.

My stats:
Tier 5
Progress bar at 50% (doesn't seem to move.... think it might be dead)
Kills / Death 3,322 / 4,241
Kill / Death Ratio 0.78
Wins / Losses 2,888 / 3,261
Win / Loss Ratio 0.89

Probably play 50% solo, 50% group

• your current tier: Tier 1
  
• rough percent that your tier progress bar is filled (optional): ~10-15%
  
• your # of matches played: 4736
  
• your W/L ratio: 1.13
  
• your K/D ratio: 1.53
  
• whether you play mostly solo, group, or CW (optional): Group mostly, solo about 10%, CW about 5%
  
• do you feel like you deserve the tier you're in? (optional):

Haha, no. I play since October 30th 2014. So my PSR maybe just skipped my noob-days, since I improved greatly after about march 2015. So my current KDR may be more towards 2, looking at the mechs I played the last few month the most.
I mean I can hold my ground (I consider ~300 matchscore as ok) in most hight tier matches and sometimes carry them, but when it's against EMP or the like, I get clubbered like a baby seal. Is this supposed to be Tier 1? No. In my opinion Tier 1 should represent something like the top 50 or maybe top 100 players. While I was able to finish the Sparky, Grasshopper and Enforcer Leaderboard in the top 50 I won't count myself to be in the top 100 never ever, not even close.
Another interessting thing:
PSR on patchday


And now, about one week later without playing on 3 days and leveling the terribad Black Knight...:


Have fun spreadsheetwarrioring!

Tier: 2
Progress: ~60%
Matches: 3557
Win/loss: 1,934 / 1,623 = 1.19
Kills/deaths: 4,006 / 2,063 = 1.94
Queue: 99.9% Solo queue, 0.1% CW
Comment: As expected and Tier 2 is probably not the worst place to be in. Get dropped often enough with Tier 1 to get some good games and often enough with Tier 3 to get some epeen scores. Fair? Aye. Accurate? Nay. Looking at the stats in the OP I don't have enough drops to get into Tier 1, especially since I don't drop with a big/good group and I skill lots of good and bad mechs. Fair enough. On the other hand I know I have no problem at all to hold my own against the average Tier 1 player so in that respect one could argue that it's not accurate on a personal level... but anyways, since PGI decided to allow Group results affect your Personal Skill Rating, I can't say it's not fair. Working as intended, as shown by the average w/l ratio's of Tier 1. More drops in general, and more group drops in particular required. Grindning it with a solo queue 1.2 w/l ratio will take some time.

Edit: If I extract the same info from the mech stats of the mechs I know I have been skilling in 2015 and a more accurate value that PSR is based on is then: 2343 games, 1.26 w/l ratio and 2.12 k/d ratio, 100% solo.

My stats are almost exactly what tier 3 average is but I'm tier 2. Guess I've done something right this year.

I might tell them to you later in ts Tarogato.

[Widowmaker1981]

Tier 1, 100% full
5973 total matches
Win / Loss = 1.8
Kill / Death = 1.76
30% group / 70% solo (overall, first 2500 ish game almost entirely solo, nowadays its more like 70/30 group/solo)

Yeah i think im probably realistically top end T2 or low end T1. Obviously dont deserve max T1, because im not equal to the best players in the game (Proten, Writhen et al).

KD is a little low because my first 2500 games i was mainly solo and learning the game, pulled it back from a 1.1 KD since then.

[z MadButcher z]

Tier 2
1463 Games Played
W/L .98
K/D 1.33
Mix of Group and Solo Drops
I feel this tier is about right. I started out awe full at this game and have made massive improvements so while stats seem low for Tier two if you could separate the first 6 months of play out of there I think it would be about on par with everyone else.

[Lugh]

It seems that tier ranking is more based on time played than anything else....

90% solo queue and you have the 5th highest KDR and top 10% of WLR? Hmmmm...

I guess it helps that I'm almost exclusively playing mechs that run >100 kph.
Apart from the occasional clean backcoring on guys occupied with other stuff and obliteration of lurm boats that decide to hide way out of position, I found that it has a certain psychological effect on people when they are constantly getting shot from angles they did not expect.

When they got their ct orange from an earlier backstab most people will much rather rub their back against the closest wall, suspiciously watching any approach route not already covered by a teammate, than contribute to their teams effort.
Helps to carry above your actual matchscore by the feel of it.

Edit: also playing quite a bit of CW, didn't include it in the post since it affects neither your stats nor psr from what I remember.

Tier 3
About 60%
2863 matches
1.09 W/L
1.54 K/D
Solo queue only these days
Yeah, my tier feels about right. I believe I should be slightly higher ranked (like, say, 75% vs 60%) but I leveled up my Cicadas right after PSR went live and suspect that hurt my ranking. Percentage has been rising steadily since I stopped playing the Cicadas and went back to my usual rides.

www.mechstats.com has this automated, except for the tier rating

Yes, but three things:

1. that site is taboo. Any mention of it usually gets your post moderated.
2. not everybody has their stats up to date.
3. like you said, doesn't include tier rating, which is the critical bit I'm trying to have fun with here. =P

But what it does affect is your skill level. Most people don't play CW and their every match is logged in the stats. But if you play lots of CW, you might become a better pilot over time, and when you start playing more solo/group queue, your stats appear unusually good. This has been the case for a couple people so far. ^^;

[illudium Q 36]

For every Alpha, there is an Omega .... That's me (the latter).

Current Tier: Five
Present filled: .005%
Number of Matches Played: 9,043
Win/Loss Ratio: 0.93 4,357 wins - 4,686 losses
KDR: 0.49 3,635 kills - 7,431 deaths

Always play as a Solo drop.

Do I deserve to be at the lowest level of the lowest tier? Yes, I reckon so.

Unrelated stats: Out of 130 Clan Warfare games that I recorded my stats on, I averaged out with a score of 107, averaged damage of 615 per game with an average of exactly I kill per game. In CW I do drop with teams through default (not by intention). I was on the winning side in 23 of the 130 games. Half of those were on the rare Attack missions that got in on. I faced full 12 man team drops in six games, 11 man team drops in three games and 10 man team drops on twelve occasions,

I play for fun, my mortgage doesn't go up or down based on my MWO stats (thank God). I've managed to move my tier count to the right by about an eighth of last weekend.

I'm curious to hear how full your tier progress bar is. You're a bit unusual for a Tier 2 player - specifically the juxtoposition of high KDR with low WLR and low matches.

Thank you, Space ModulatOr! Man, you just triggered my nostalgia reflex...

Btw, there are about 9 people with people with stats lower than yours, and they all have higher PSRs so far.
You have the 6th most played games so far. I'm curious, what mechs do you play the most and what kinds of builds?

[WrathOfDeadguy]

Tier 3 (~15% filled)
W/L 1.16
K/D 1.12
~2500 games, mixture of solo and group queues, slanted overwhelmingly towards skirmish and assault. I leave conquest unchecked because the rewards for capping are pathetic and I have 'Mechs I still need cbills for. I avoid CW like the plague unless I'm well and truly hammered and get peer pressured into it- too much wait for too little game.

It irritates me that PSR is independent of weight class, because I'm a pretty good light and medium driver but I'm utterly terrible with heavies and assaults. I think that I should be dropping high Tier 3 with lights and mediums, but way down in Tier 5 town with heavies and assaults... as long as PSR remains independent of weight class, I don't have much incentive to drop in anything over 55 tons because doing so means I risk tanking the quality of my light and medium games too, especially while I'm leveling things like... oh, I dunno, the Mauler or Black Knight. What would be best is to have a PSR for every chassis... frankly I should be able to drop in any damn thing I please and not have to worry about being a lead anchor on my team, and so should everyone else. A separate "gits and shiggles queue" option that plops you in non-ranked games would be nice, too.

My wait times have also roughly doubled since PSR. Overall I give the whole system a solid "meh point oh."

[Pariah Devalis]

Post Reset:

Games Played

• 2,517

Kills/Deaths

• 3,554 / 1,444 = 2.46

Wins/Losses

• 1,565 / 952 = 1.64

​

Tier 2 and 40% filled to 1.

About 2/3 of the time I am in (small 2-3 player) group queue.

I play all weight classes fairly equally.

Interestingly, I notice while my stats indicate it should be in the T1 bracket, I am probably T2 because I am at around 4,000 fewer games than the current posted average. That's a pretty bum rap, but just puts more evidence on the PSR being an inaccurate assessment of player capability.

That said, I figured I was about midway through tier 2 before the release.

Matches since reset: 1,438
Wins/Losses: 862/576 (1.496 ratio)

Played almost exclusively group drops in mostly lights.

Just barely sitting in Tier 3

These are interesting stats for a 100% solo player with less than 3,000 matches played. Mind sharing a little more detail? What kind of mechs you play, how many matches you played before the stat reset, etc?

Before the reset I was:

4472 matches
1.14 W/L
2.35 KDR

I do almost all of my playing during the day at my office (it's good to own the company) which is why it's 100% solo. I don't afk during matches, but there is enough going on that I can't be on TS and grouped. I've been around since closed beta, currently have 66 mechs and I play a lot of them. I play a lot of lights and mediums, with the KGC for an assault fix. Since it came out, I play a lot more CW than regular drops which is why the games played is fairly low.

[Kanajashi]

Here are my stats for science! everything is from the "Current" tab in my stats.

• Tier 2, 50% progress
  
• 3263 Matches Played
  
• 1,941 Wins / 1,322 Losses (1.47 ratio)
  
• 4,157 Kills / 1,840 Deaths, (2.26 ratio)
  
• Majority solo, with occasional small groups of 2-4
  
• Based on these stats and the averages on op's post, It seems like I should be a bit closer to tier 1. Must be a lack of games played.
