So I just made T1 and there were no fireworks, no achievement, no nothing. Doesn't that seem wrong? I mean, I went up a ton of factions ranks and got stuff, but nothing for getting up to Tier 1. Who thinks there should be a badge or title or something for this?

Your reward is a horribly imbalance MM and longer Ques, much longer in fact.

Satisfaction in making it to T1 is yours alone unfortunately. It still feel good to be part of this much smaller crowd.

By they way, a lot of people think you will eventually get to T1 by just showing up. They're wrong. You need to perform and put up the right numbers to get to T1.

Only the worst players don't eventually float up to T1, though. Doesn't seem like much to celebrate, honestly.

OP, your nick is awesome.
That is your reward.

Oh! congrats, your reward from now on is eternal ( you can't go tier down ) pain and suffering of meta gaming, have fun y'hear .

Tier 1 rewards?

As someone who occasionally smurfs new accounts to grind out a mech to give to friends, I've noticed the following:

Slightly fewer actual potatoes.
FAR more potatoes with delusions of grandeur and over inflated views of their own skills. Potatoes with angry eyes are still potatoes.
More armchair generals.
Fewer pure LRM boats. Probably ties with the first point.
The occasional exceptionally skilled player.
More (awesome) players willing to nut up and take a shot at calling the match.
More strikes. Far more strikes.

Edit: OOH! I forgot to mention...

Bored player builds. All flamer novas. Gauss ravens.
