Hi all,

I've been curious what the lower tiers were like and how long it would take to get back to T2 (where my main started at) from T5; hence this Alt.

Just hit T2 and I'd thought I'd share what the journey was like. I play only on the Oceanic server, PUG only in Quick Play, don't belong to any unit and don't CW. I used exclusively 3 variants of the mech I play best in; x6spl ACH.

T5 to T4: 1 match

T4 to T3: 2 matches

T3 to T2: 117 matches,

So, it took a total of 120 matches.
Total time: 22 hrs of playtime.
Ave dam./match: 470.
Ave xp/match: 1,645.

Interesting Observations:

• Upon hitting T3, I think MM was putting me in 1 of 2 groups; T5 - T3 players or T3 - T1 players. This is just a suspicion based on the player quality.
  
• T5 - T3 matches: easy to flank and kill mechs from the rear. Lower situational awareness by players and I was able to get the Ace of Spades title.
  
• T3 - T1 matches: more similar player quality as experienced by my T1 main. Much higher situational awareness and deathballing is far more common.
  
• Surprisingly, playing in the lower tiers made me more confident with my ACH and improved my gameplay when using my T1 main.
  
• Attached are some stats ...
