Did They Change The Way Tier Is Calculated?

I remember stories on how people drop 3 times, score about that much, and they are tier 3 50%.
Did they change how the tier-ing up system work? Seems to be slower now.
Evidence exhibit B: was watching this chill AF twitch streamer in tier 5. He's not the greatest pilot, but he's got a steady aim that worth at least warrant him in tier 4-3+. But he's still in tier 5 after consecutive 600, 700 damage games. Now admittingly, he started his playing career with some horrendous outings, but I use to get the impressions that bad games are only temporary road blocks, where as good games will jump the slider more significantly.

Except that I would routinely get 300-500 MS on my T4 matches, win or lose, and the best I would ever get is around a 1% increase... So something's seriously off with who gets what for their PSR bonuses.
I think you should report it if you're getting that much increase in a single match, because either your's a serious bug, or mine is.

Well I think others have said before that the first 25 cadet matches? are heavily weighted so you'd move more in PSR when you score extremely well. This is probably to move experienced pilots quickly into the upper tiers and prevent too much seal clubbing.
Once you pass the first 25 matches, things probably start to slow down. There's pros and cons to this system and in my opinion, probably gameable as well.

Recently jumped a tier and a bit from low four into three in 74 games. https://leaderboard....hwarrior2470942
Some of those were inflated by running a Whammy 6R to get loot, mc and all the goodies. Plus mechs on sale. Normally in lower tiers I like to either handicap myself with trial or work on something I am not very good at ie. assaults.
Not sure if the early boost still applies but it seems to be easy to shoot through a tier fairly quick. At least 74 matches feels quick to me.
