Psr Ratings

5 wins in a row with good scores and psr upgrades to match but the bar on my screen doesn't move from between the E and R in teir 5.
I'm a founding member who hadn't played for ages(took 35 patches to get up to be able to play again)
How fast/how much does the PSR change with each "rating improved" match?
Getting a bit sick of either having good games where the team works and close matches to everyone else running off getting killed and I'm on my own at end vs 3-5 enemy

The break points delineated here seem accurate.

Not to make light of your situation, but honestly had a big laugh at this. You need consistent good games (not wins, but good plays). Do you know how long I have been in tier 3? 3 months. The game rewards your PSR for not just solo work, but the work you did to help the team. So even in a loss, you can still go up in psr, or at least not lose PSR (I have screenshots of games where the team lost, but I went up in PSR because I supported my team so well). Dont try to play the game like your John Rambo. Use things like UAV's, NARC's and Tag lasers. Call out enemy locations in voice chat. Hell its almost better if you just assist in the kill (not get the kill shot) than to try and focus someone down so that you can go 1:1 in your KDR for the match.
The game is a team based game, so play like you are trying to help your team instead of just trying to pad your 'damage done' counter. Otherwise you will be stuck in tier 5 for a very long time. I am midway through tier 3 (pretty much the hardest tier to get ahead in, because you are teamed up with and play against people who are tier 5 all the way up to tier 1). Focus less on your PSR and focus more on learning the maps, mechs and weapon systems. As your skill and understanding improves, so will your PSR.

I thought it might be a known bug or something.

I've had nights where didn't move and nights where it moved a 1/4 inch or more. Took me more than a thousand matches to move from tier 4 to tier 2 without benefit of the acceleration new accounts get.

I believe it typically takes a few hundred matches of consistently above-average performance to move through a tier and on to the next one. It's going to take a while.

Had a FEW good matches today (maybe 6 or 8), and that's all I played in public. Moved across the bar one whole letter. I was pretty STOKED, really.
Progress is SLOW sometimes. I'm kinda surprised it hasn't treated you like a new player and made you a Tier 3 by now. Maybe that's been toned down. I have an alt that has been around since Nov/ 2012, and hadn't played it in a long time. Tier 5, and having similar issues. On the other hand, it means I have a pretty good KDR on that account, and that in a very low-DPS mech too. A little e-peen stroking.
It'll come. It's not a bug. Just play on, player!
And welcome back!

the way to guarantee your score never goes down is to always do at least 500 damage (I know much easier said than done), as half of your damage is added directly to your score and I have never had a down arrow on a 250+ match score loss if you always do at least 500 damage you will keep going up.
damage is usualy the main contributor to match score, my high damage matches always get me a PSR XP increase where as my games where I am contributing in other ways and maybe making 200-300 damage will often result in a loss of PSR XP on a match loss

Yeah. While the actual break point scores were never released, nor was the data on the breadth of each tier, the scoring standards HAVE been. We've been able to pretty reliably account for the break points (save for a few outlying examples). Happy stuff.
