your current tier: Tier 2
your # of matches played: 4500
your W/L ratio: 1.186
your K/D ratio: 1.34
whether you play mostly solo, group, or CW (optional): Solo only
do you feel like you deserve the tier you're in?
Its effective, but I cant play 24/7 400m laservomits, boring as frozen hell. Using this game not as shooter, but to play big robots with thrash builds using all weapons in game. So I gonna get a middle of tier 1 and again use tier 4+ builds (more tier more complicated build, watch metamechs).

Here is the info you requested, Tarogato ... for the Greater Good ....

1. - 720 games - Jagermech JM6-DD W/L Ratio 1.05 - 439 Kills - 570 Deaths
2. - 614 games - Black Jack BJ-1DC W/L Ratio .82 - 166 Kills - 509 Deaths
3. - 444 games - Jagermech JM6-S W/L Ratio .85 - 196 Kills - 355 Deaths
4. - 403 games - Wolverine WVR-7K W/L Ratio .95 - 165 Kills - 331 Deaths
5. - 293 games - Wolverine WVR-6R W/L Ratio .72 - 66 Kills - 247 Deaths
6. - 270 games - Centurion CN9-AH(L) W/L Ratio .91 - 152 Kills - 219 Deaths
7. - 204 games - Highlander NGN-733C W/L .Ratio .78 - 94 Kills - 109 Deaths

The Mech I run that has the highest kill to death ratio is my KGC-000B King Crab - 49 games - .92 W/L Ratio with
52 kills to 38 Deaths.

My build outs follow a pattern

JM6-DD with AC20 x 1, ER LG Laser x 1, MG x 3, AMS - 300 standard engine
BJ-1DC with AC20 x 1, Med Laser x 1, AMS - 200 standard engine
JM6-S with LB 10-XAC x 2, Med Laser x 2, AMS - 250 standard engine
WVR-7K with SRM6/Artemis x 3, Med Laser x 1, AMS - 235 standard engine
WVR-6R with LRM20/Artemis x 1, SRM4/Artemis x 1, med laser x 1, MG x 2, AMS - 255 standard engine
CN9-AH(L) with AC20 x 1, SRM4/Artemis x 1, AMS - 195 standard engine
NGN-733C with AC20 x 1, ER LG Laser x 2, AMS - 325 standard engine
KGC-000B with AC20 x 2, ER LG Laser x 1, Beagle Probe, AMS - 320 standard engine

Most of these builds are close to max armor value. All of my Mechs are at elite.

My little Black Jack usually gets creamed, but I really like the mech.

Weapon Stats: First place is the AC20 - Fired 33,027 - Hit 16,226 - Accuracy 49.13% - a little low on the accuracy but I will shoot at lights. I take plenty of ammo. When I miss it's usually not by much.

Second place is the Medium Pulse Laser - 231,479 points of damage - 67.21% accuracy
Next is the Medium Laser - 228,154 points of damage - 75.10% accuracy

I always take an improved artillery strike and a UAV. I generally use both during a match.

Hope this helps ......

I leave conquest unchecked because the rewards for capping are pathetic

For the record, I've always heard that Conquest is the best mode for grinding C-Bills. You get a unique "Conquest Bonus" just for playing that game mode. I'm not entirely sure this still holds true, but I don't know why it wouldn't.

Before the reset I was:

4472 matches
1.14 W/L
2.35 KDR

Ahhh, yes. This explains everything. It seems that very few players were both already very good players before stat reset and haven't played many matches since stat reset. You're one of those folks. =]

Yes, thank you so much! Just a personal curiosity, really - what makes a lower tier player a lower tier player. It seems to come down to builds in your case. You seem to mostly enjoy brawling, which isn't a very strong playstyle these days compared to the past. You also like to juxtapose ERLL with AC/20 - two weapons with drastically different range profiles. If you adopted some more meta optimisation, I daresay you'd see a drastic improvement in performance. I'm talking about changes like running XL on your BJ-1DC for more speed and extra MLs, switching from ERLL to multiple MLs on your JM6-DD, putting a 280 or faster engine in your WVR-7K (even an XL). Of course, I understand if you prefer your builds that way they are - most of the fun of Mechwarrior is in the customisation and not everybody has to chase the meta to enjoy themselves. =P

Tarogato, reading your stats here I wonder, what if you would plot the absolute number of excess games won vs Tier? I.e. (won games) - (lost games). If you ignore individual score in each game, that's the number of increments your PSR had.

In any case, that system is fine for matchmaking imo. After all, this is not a ranking, it's a system telling you when you are allowed into the deep pond.

• 3
  
• 80%
  
• 2608
  
• (1335/1225) = 1.0897
  
• (2454/1655) = 1.4827
  
• Solo
  
• I'm probably Tier 2 quality, but I spend too much time trying to get all variants of a chassis to Mastered status. If I would only stay to playstyle matching META mechs, T2 here I'd come.

[PaeuxP22]

Tier 5 (Fully deserved most days)
80% full with 1400 matches played
W/L 0.95 k/d now at all all time high of 0.52
Mostly Pug with some cw thrown in every now and again.
I have only 1 chassis with over 50 games. And 80+% of matches in light mechs.
Interestingly my 'best' performing chassis is the locust 3v with a 2.5 w/l and a 3.0 kdr

[Beet Wagon]

• Tier 4
  
• Like... ******* 99%
  
• 840 matches played (is that all? Damn)
  
• .99 W/L
  
• .81 K/D
  
• Mostly Solo, group drops one night a week
  
• Yeah I think so. I was surprised to find out I was tier 4 (I would have thought 3, but I mean I'm pretty close) but I have spent a bunch of time this year eliting mechs, which is always gonna skew you a little negative until you get the hang of them.

It's there; I guess you could negate it by ending the game in under two minutes, but …

[Dawnstealer]

1) 3 (3.75 - I'll probably be 2 sometime next month if I keep dropping CW)

2) 75% filled

3) 5,665 matches (current); 10,312 total (includes archived)

4) 1.13 W/L ratio

5) 0.91 K/D Ratio

6) Mostly Solo, but since being made CO of my unit, obviously I'm dropping more in groups. The vast majority of my time previously was solo drops, though

7) Tier? Yep - I'm about where I should be.

[Spr1ggan]

Guess I'll update mine. Better than before but still not that great.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I should probably close this up. I wanted to wait a bit longer before doing an "update", but people started posting in here again.
