So, I am supposedly tier1, should only see tier1-2.... why am I seeing so many "knight errants" in my matches?????? And when I spectate them, they are definitely errant tier 4-5, maybe lower.

Are there that few people playing that the MM makes no difference, except in the busy hours? Between the 1-3 errants, and the fact 1-2 of the team is afk, the matches are total crapshoots- hell it is kinda funny watching the diaspora at the start of some matches, knowing it is game over before a shot is fired...win- lose....who the F knows- not very fun.

Tier 1 will see tier 3 too. And Knight errant is kinda cool title if you don't have anything cooler.

Make sure to paint your Mech defult green too for the full effect.

Saw a 2 LMG, 3 MPL, 1 AC10 1 LPPC mech today. I bet he's tier one too, playing crap builds like that and not quiting the game after a while takes dedication.

What's wrong with 'Knight Errant'? It's a cool title!

Since I started this as my IS only account after I've already been a Veteran I got several 'Ace of Spades' in my first matches, it's not really something special. And since I don't see the title myself, why bother changing it?

(Well, if it gives a morale boost to my teammates I just might. What would give you the most confidence, Papaspud?)

At Tier 2 I frequently see some truly atrocious builds during off-peak hours.

Since the only real penalty for being a perpetual bad-build type is advancement to higher tiers, why would people stop making bad builds and worse excuses for using them?

I wouldnt bet on that. Four days ago i got a defeat with around 270 damage and my tier got a =. Who still thinks that people with a T1 tag are different from people with a T3 tag? Most T3 have a T1 tag by now.
