As long as you can retain 50% WLR in T2, you belong there without issue.

KDR has very little to do with it.

My KDR used to be 1.7 now its dropped to 1.1 and I'm still steadily moving towards Tier 1. So your KD is only different by 0.2 which is in the same ballpark IMO.

Hehe...I've got better stats than that and am not tier 2. Gotta love how this game works, right?

[Davegt27]

Never mind I am back down to tier 3 lol

Not the worst Tier 2 player -- your K/D beats mine by a solid 0.01 (0.88 here). Tier 2 since Christmas, mainly done in Shadow Hawks, Cicadas and Crabs (not the King kind).

Never been even near of getting that Ace of Spades either. Never been getting that many kills -- I like to think I've helped my teams' assaults get more than a few, though.

Bah Tier 4 is where the real fun and entertainment is at. I even got an overheat/suicide kill with my flamer/mg pirates bane locust!

Except that stats never were a reflection of skill. Its a reflection of playstyle at best. Not even that. Especially if you're a stat *****. Then its a reflection of nothing, but your impulse to get numbers in some game no one gives a **** about.

Neither are Tiers. Tiers are a reflection of how much experience you have playing MWO. Wanna go high? Grind like a ************.

Since it's based almost entirely on the win/loss condition Tier is effectively random unless you can prop your team up every single time which is more or less impossible with the massive influx of steam nubs.

Part of the problem is that we have such a limited selection of stats in this game. If we had a full spectrum of stats to look at, you'd get a better idea of how people play. Why can't we see how many assists, components destroyed, etc we have per variant? It's gotta be tracked somewhere, no?

[Inveramsay]

You have more than 10k drops and since psr will continue to climb because how it works you will probably find yourself in tier 1 in time. Now if this is a good idea or not is up for debate

I've got to admit T4 is rather fun, not a lot of meta try hards, some interesting units and builds, and funny questions, like "What's a LCT-PB?"

[Holographic]

You have over 10k matches? Nice

Seems you ran into the same "Now you have to carry 8-10 instead of 6 MM that I did when I finally got that last pixel."

Couple dozen matches of that and I'm suddenly uninterested in playing.

Why do folks focus on KDR. It is the last hit. If it was Kill Most damage I see that as a reflection.

Learning how to influence a win (some games are obvious rolls or losses). This can also be that the group is following you and you may need to be first into the breach or at least the most aggressive. It can also mean typing clear directions - 2-5 words.

I started a clubbing account and I think one of the reasons they use a gradual move up is the ability to have modules and elited mechs along with a players scores.

So welcome T2 and learn to love the 5min or less game. In group Q, you can add lasers and remove ammo, because you will not overheat or run dry in many games.
