No, have you dropped in lower tiers!? You just clobber people.
I recently made an alt account to actually experience a few things for my self
Firstly I wanted to see what a new player experience was and how difficult it was to get started. (it's pretty easy to get a good mech built with the proving grounds and cadet bonuses but the skiling up was bit of a drag for more than a single mech.
Secondly there was a rather vocal claim that the lower tiers were "Lurmagedon" where hordes of nublets were being buried under tides of LRM fire causing them to quit in droves. Well this was completely false.
And, I had to seriously refrain from playing well to severely offset the team balance by being a high tier player in nubtown. I was at a major advantage in tiers 5 and 4 so I will agree, This idea for a paid tier reset is open to grievous abuse.
