Well this is exactly what I am talking about, if you really did all of this then something is really wrong for someone that has stayed with the same account since 2012 and can not move up or down a tier, after almost 10,000 games. I dont think we are talking about the same thing and maybe we do need some clarification from PGI and not speculation from a guy thats played less that 50 games.


:) On this account approx 9k battles in solo/group queue + untold number in CW.

It did not matter how OLD the account was, the ELO figure that seeded the PSR was dated from 1-1-2015. So the number of games played only mattered since 1-1-2015. And if said player actually played 10k games, then a few things to consider - his PSR is bugged/em support (not likely), have played fewer battles since 1-1-2015, another would be how the mechs are equipped then piloted in a way that is is barely moving the bar.

Or lets put it this way, forget about tiers. Are the battles so easy that one is almost or is embarrassed, feeling like one is taking candy from children? So, are the most drops easy to okay, or okay to pretty tough, winning or losing?

Can always make an alt account for some test runs. My preferred trial mechs, Cheetah, Raven, Enforcer, Hunchback, Stormcrow, Timberwolf and T-bolt. Stormcrow and T-wolf are generally prime targets, while taking an assault simply paints a bigger target.

OP - if the only reason you want climb to tier 1, is to play against tier 1s: DROP IN THE GROUP QUE.

good luck with what you want.

And, playing against tier 1 isn't anything special. They still die like everyone else, just more of them are jack@sses. I'd not worry about moving tiers, the higher you go in tier, the more bad attitudes you run into and more people who think their way is the only way.

I see posts of people saying they lose more matches than win yet go up in Tier.
That means PGI's PSR and Tier system is broken.
Time to tell PGI.

Reached Tier 2 a short while ago - still a wild ride in match Quality if not wilder than Tier 3 - and neither my playstyle nor my Mechs will generate more than average matchscores as i am often getting low to average damage numbers (i average around ~250 damage).
But the XP bar is still slowly growing yet with a Solo-Q W/L between 54% and 60% depending on matchmode.

So, as long you win a tad more than you lose the way PSR works should make the XP Bar at least slowly grow.

Mostly it just means that I'm good at farming the rewards when I drop into quick play.

Also 'technically' I should have a positive win ratio but had an absolutely massive loss streak when PSR was first introduced, coinciding with that event that most of the team would disco on to chase the last map they needed. I tried like hell, but to get quick matches you needed to drop in a Medium and then try to solo 4+ as the few remaining on your team did kamikaze rushes. Lost upwards of 50 in a row at one point, probably dropped 300 times that weekend before they changed the score requirements.

Then because I hadn't had many quick play games for the year accounted I had a massive hit to my PSR ranking, and had to damage-only my way back out of Tier 4 because you can't count on derps to actually carry themselves.

Hey Zensei, what tier are you? Tier 3? if so maybe PGI could swap our tier ratings, i'd be more than happy drop some MC to end up with a static tier rating that doesn't go up ever.
