I can be seen in theb33f's Nightstar video (I'm the MCII-1 that pokes up and he shoots at). I'm tier 3, he's tier 1, so I'm guessing that confirms some form of loosening.

Wanna read up on the algorithm. Lately been seeing many T1 players in my game, eg Darktrazz, Teer Kerensky, Koniving, etc.

It is possible to let a T5 get in game with T1 if you are in Group que or Faction Play, as matchmaking is not active there..

Koniving says he is not Tier 1 but floating between Tier 4-3 as per one of his recent posts, and that he works at staying within that tier range. Though he does not have his tier listed, it is not so far fetched when reviewing his QP stats.

Just wanted to add that he does not like the PSR with the way it is setup with its upward push.

That is within tolerances as per the patch notes on Sept (linked earlier in this thread).

In fact as a Tier 3 you are able to see (with no loosening of the MM) from T1 all the way to T5. Normally however you wont see them all in one match. If there are T1s you wont see T4s or T5s and if there are T5s you wont see T1s or T2s. However during very quiet times you might see a larger spread of tiers in one match.

But OP is tier 4, if he has seen me it's 4 tiers difference. And I play solo queue only.

Has no one watched b33f's recent video with the team killers in the kodiaks where he killed one of them in his usual little locust 1e ? new T5 account tk'ers matched to a T1 game streamer.... gee.... great matchmaker... and what more b33f plays during prime NA time.

According to the link in this thread, Tier 3 should only match with Tier 2 and Tier 4. What gives?

according to the desctiption this cannot happen, because it is restricted to one tier below, which means as soon as a T1 and a T2 are matched a t3 cannot be matched into it as it violates the terms of a T1 not allowed to meet a T3

And yet, this is exactly what is happening. Trust me. Whether I deserve T1 or not...I end up with a LOT of T4s and T5s in my QP matches. Brand new "how to moving the forward" Knight Errants in trial mechs. That's just my personal experience, but I see it alot from others here.

You have to remember that PGI can't program a matchmaker to save it's life. It never has been before and doesn't show signs of ever acquiring the ability. Virtually everything they do is to cater to the "lowest common denominator." There is no progression. The base concept since the beginning is "the better you are, the harder you carry."

There has been virtually no change since the early Elo/MM days.
