Just broke into 2nd tier and I am finding more toxic players and try hards than I have ever seen. Makes tier 3 seem like casual paradise.

Tryhard? Maybe. Toxic? Aside from the +/- one sore loser per match, can't say I see much of that.

[Moomtazz]

Going from T3 to T2 doesn't mean you are suddenly playing a new set of players, so I doubt it.

[Mystere]

Get yourself a joystick. That should hopefully get you back in T3, but in style.

Depends on when you play. PST Early Afternoons you can see the occasional player get upset for good reasons. I don't blame them, some teammates are really potato here in Tier 1.

I don't support them if they start trying to blame everyone else for their death that alone was their fault for pushing too far (Except on domination, I hate when the team stands back and doesn't get into the circle).

[DaZur]

Hate to generalize but yeah... Higher tiers have a disproportionate number of ego driven tryhards relative to lower tiers.

It does mean though you are gradually introduced to players in the new or higher tier however. Back then I was tier 2 for a long time, a third of the time I would see the players that I now see almost half the time as a Tier 1.

Nowadays it's been relaxed so that Tier 1 players are matched with all the way down to Tier 3-4 players I believe

Well after the 10th lost game and I am talking about stomps, even I tend to leave a snarky remark on voice coms.

Every game I saw mechs moving to the usual spot for the map sitting behind buildings, or using the we hug us all in unity formation. Which is not bad thing at all, but when you say on voice coms where the enemy is, call out out a lone enemy heavy/assault mech in the flank and nothing happens, when you call out they are pushing us through square X and no one reacts apart from some running away, some staying or the counter is a line formation where the first mech in front drops, then the second and so on. guess I need to exercise myself in patience.

Damn and can't play now, because PGI's damn server has issues. Yes PGI people can't download your game from this site at the moment and your launcher does not work at the moment!!!

Depends what the PPM is


The Potatos Per Match
If that gets too high, you can expect salt.

the entire player base is toxic. I blame the devs.

Only the truly toxic survive the poisons of the midteirs long enough to join teir 1, the immunity is in their blood. All others who try are doomed to fall.

Are you playing FP? Then that might explain it. Some folks take that mode way, way, to seriously.

If not, then no.

As a T2 as well, I can honestly say that I have never seen anyone being particularly "toxic" any more now than when I was T3 or other tier. Out of some 6000 matches, I've seen maybe 10 instances of someone being a real d-bag, and honestly all but 1 was over a year ago when I was well and truly in the underhive. Maybe another couple dozen matches with some really impressive drama queens, but nothing particularly offensive or hostile. The rest? Just normal run of the mill folks, occasionally talking a bit of smack, almost always when warranted or to be funny.

I blame Canada. If they just kept the game to themselves, it would be significantly more polite. Just learn to carry harder.

Cheers!

[Alexander of Macedon]

Doubtful. At t3 you're getting the entire spectrum of players. Maybe a slightly lower ratio of potatoes and slightly more who expect decent play. MWO is hands-down the most pleasant game of this genre, I see maybe one outright flamer every 25-30 matches. Most games it's 2-3 per match.

[Khobai]

fortunately most of the toxic players are in faction warfare

I really wish faction warfare seperated large groups from solo players and small groups but sadly it doesnt

Translation: I just get into tier 2 with my 100 ton hiding lrm boat and wonder why there is salt in every game I play.

Again, it comes down to the time of day, or at least for me it does. If it's the middle of the day or afternoon NA time, on NA servers there's far more Tier 5 and 4 players jammed into quick drops that higher tier players are in, leading to face palming and salt. Later evenings to the middle of the night NA time, most of those players vanish and things are more chill.

I played two games in a row yesterday with a guy in an ALRM15/2xAC2/ERLLAS/Tag Dragon Slayer.
First game he was on my team and we got stomped, second game he was on the other team and they got stomped.

Yeah, it detracts from my enjoyment of this game having guys like that on my team.

I won't berate people in chat/voip when I see that, but I might make a "really?" comment.
