Yep thats right no more tier 5s for me to play against ... I made it to tier 2 and now I have to face more tier 1 angry people. Be gentle I am just a lonely clown ... warlord.

Welcome to meta-***** country.

I'd love to get back to T3 and play whatever I want without being a burden to my team.

You'll need to gain another tier for that. You'll see less of them but tier 1 is the only tier prohibited from seeing them at all.

Welcome. Air is good up here, although smells of ozone because of all the lazors

You CAN play whatever you want. You just have to play it well.

[Alistair Winter]

Ah yes, Tier 2. It's fantastic, it offers lots of great gameplay, it offers a lot of challenges, it's got lot of fun matches, and it... well, it's pretty similar to Tier 3, actually.

With... mostly the same people as Tier 3, actually.

Except now you have to carry harder.

[Mister Blastman]

Look at the bright side--you're moving farther away from tier 3 terriscareds. Tier 3 is the worst tier.

[Christof Romulus]

Congratulations on reaching Tier 2!

Now that you're a tier higher you're going to be surrounded by even more players who are more likely to be higher-skilled! Which means that you need to carry harder than you've ever carried before!

Tier 1's have to carry every time every game they get in because of how incompetent their allies are - it's so rough...

Waiiit a minute... If you're in Tier 1, you're surrounded by Tier 1's to 3's... so by definition everyone you're playing with is experienced... which means you shouldn't have to carry as hard, because the people who you are grouped with should also be attempting to carry hard...

How does this work exactly...?

Oddly enough im about 25% from tier 2 using the black knight as well...Cant be as bad as it is now where I can count on having 3 or 4 teammates and having everyone else running away in the heaviest mech they could bring.

Don't worry Clownw, there's still tons of subhumans that will alpha u in the back upon spawning.

that's OK...I've seen plenty of tier 1 and 2s who still play like tier 5s.

Enjoy the ozone!

The problem I tend to find with Tier 3 is I always seem to end up as the Meta God with some T4s and T5s or I am the ultimate Scrublord for with some T1 and T2s.

Obviously this is feeling rather than fact.

Ever since PSR has been displayed in forums circumstantial evidence seems to dictate that I actually play against other T3s the vast majority of the time. MM working?

Dont worry, there are still plenty of potatoes in tier 2. The other day i ended up facing a team that kept charging us one by one on caustic valley, across the lake area.

[Haike]

Welcome to my tier. Don't worry, the games are only slightly more tough than t3, and you will see everyone pretty much have a unit tag. T3 you get games where you are the unstoppable avatar of mech destruction....not anymore in t2

Nothing wrong with that. I've been burdening my team since '13. Its what keeps you out of T1.

The game already has too few weapon options to even further limit yourself to a few meta mechs simply because you are T2 or under.

At least i see more mech variety in the solo queue than CW. I dont see stuff like 12x tbolts all with 3x LPL.

Its also better than pre-clans where almost every mech on the field was boating PPCs, gauss or ballistics.
