well, all of ya alrdy heard, that older players doesnt have the "bad" results in their PSR rating, which is true, while the newbies must count with their worst matches will be in.

Why not making PSR seasonal only = SAME conditions FOR ALL ?

I dunno, 6 months, 1 yrs, whatever...

[TheCharlatan]

Why not? Just make sure who ends a season in a higher tier gets bonus "XP bars" for the next.
Then add end-of-season rewards and we would have created an intresting competitive solo queue.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

whatever. Current PSR sorting is bad.

I wish it was by weight class or chassis. I gave up trying to level my IFRs.

No thanks.

Doing this would mean that every 6 months or whatever that everyone goes back in the same pool and the big fish eat all the little fish til they level away from them.

Let the higher tiers enjoy their exclusivity.

^ This.

Current high Tier players would feed on the newbies, making loads of CBills before getting back to their former Tiers, and after the dust settles, a lot of unhappy folks that previously were T4 will see themselves at the end of T5.

only because PGI sloppily lobbed together Matchmaking system a Leveling system and Rank system like they did with ECM, stealth armor and angel ECM.

In other games, the leveling system which keeps new players away from veteran players is distinct from the ranking system. These games have a leveling system and a distinct seasonal league system.

That may be true, but we have to work with what we've got

Ok I seriously think it would work just like with any game's player rating system if it was seasonal. The first matches that everyone gets put through would have A LOT more impact I'm talking 25 matches max to get to the top of t1 if they're almost exclusively wins and/or the player performs well in all of them. Not that much cbill farming on the new guys and the experienced pilots are rapidly put back into their place.

I think 6 month seasonal would just do the job perfectly, and at least, dont punish newbies for their start, like it was now.

I like to switch between mechs I am leveling and my favorite mechs (which I usually win with). This generally keeps me where I am at and moves me up a bit if I am winning with the mechs i am leveling.

You could make it so everyone moves 1 tier closer to 3 to start the new season with T3 people not moving. You could also give new players a grace period, place them in the starting tier but do not start moving them up or down for a while.

this should be there already as a start. With this implemented, id be T4 now.
