Another concern I have for Solaris is whether or not they're going to base their "divisions" off of mech performance in normal modes, FW, or just Solaris itself. Because PGI once said (I think) that they plan to add the divisions to the matchmaker for other applicable modes.
Problem is that all of them have their own different conditions that affect which mechs and builds get chosen. Most importantly, a long-range mech with high mounts will excel in the pug and premade queues, but in a straight 1v1 it's going to get facerolled by a splat brawler since there's no focus fire from multiple mechs to prevent the enemy from advancing.

I would assume this is the entire point of the Divisions system. Since QP and S7 are so different, S7 needs its own tier system to "balance" play.
This way, they can keep quirks in place while they try to balance mechs for QP and FP, and just arrange them into divisions for S7. The only other option would be separate quirks for S7... and ain't nobody got time for that.
