Cbills for 1000 damage are way way too low.

GXP is pitiful.

Nice game, what were you riding in?

Good stuff OP. The best I've done in my 4 AC5 KGC is just a hair over 1100. Still kind of mind-numbing that you had 0 kills, though. Bummer.

Try a 6 AC2 KGC if you have a spare loyalty one. It's a fun build even if it isn't as effective damage-wise. The screen shake it causes is INFURIATING.

You really shouldn't try to climb out of tier 5. You're we're put there for a reason and I don't think it is because you're bad.

Tiers just help similar players get matched with similar players, I'm not trying to climb out of my tier I just play.

As long as you're having fun (and able to win) then you're doing it right and your tier doesn't matter.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I think it's a bit weird when people say that they're having so much fun in Tier 4 or Tier 5 because they're racking up 8 kills in every game and scoring 2000 dmg in their Timber Wolf. That just means you don't belong there. It's basically sandbagging, it's like when a high level martial artist competes in a low level division.

You rack honour.

But if some people are enjoying Tier 4 or Tier 5 because there are fewer meta mechs and more fun builds, fewer try-hards and just more people having a good time, then I totally get that. And I applaud that some people are able to differentiate between epeen and having fun.

Personally, I'm trying to get to Tier 1 as soon as possible. It's a much more fun goal than trying to increase my WLR or KDR in the solo queue by 0.01 points. But having gone from Tier 3 to Tier 2, I'm not really seeing much of a difference yet. And I'm worried that Tier 1 players mostly get dumped with the Tier 2 and Tier 3 players anyway, so I'm not sure if there's really any light at the end of the tunnel.

All I want to do is play with and against competent players who know what they're doing, without running into 12-man House of Lords teams in their their Dragon Slayer poptarts or CPLT-A1 Streakboats or whatever meta the kids are running these days.

Yeah those Dragon Slayers and Splatcats are tearing up the metagame nowadays. Also welcome back to the year 2013.
