But I can do all that in tier I currently am, what's the difference? T1 doesn't feel like tryhard mode or anything. As you climb up, you naturally get better and adapt, learn new stuff. It will be unfair for such player to drop into lower tiers, breaking fun for newbies, because want it or not, you'll be better than anyone else there. I have so many lol and rofl moments in games I play now, that you won't believe. People still do stupid stuff, get spread and rekt all over the map. And honestly, I haven't seen anyone ever ragequitting like... ever?

you dont get it, upper tiers have a lot of complainers...

main account is t1
2x alt account is t2
this new account I wanted it to stay t5 or t4 the highest

also I mostly dont kill them, I mostly just flame them and have fun with my current free mech NOVA, so yeah no seal clubbing

I only need one account, cause I find fun in winning, not clowning around.

Both can be achieved at the same time.

Not unless you intentionally tank yourself to T5--which is idiotic IMO--or you are a godlike player who can carry the team in any gimp mech.

I am tier 1 and play what I like every match, winning is a nice bonus but has no effect on how much fun I am having.

Which is why we are different. I place more emphasis on winning as a team, cause I have fun in success--as I wrote before.

It's T5. Unless you're playing by slapping your keyboard with a garden hose, you're going to be crapping all over a bunch of new players. And that guy that's still T5 after 1700 matches.

Tell me more about this garden hose technique... I think it might improve my game!

And I have fun either way as I said.

[Asym]

I'm with the "I already have an account" pundits... Why waste the time. I'm a Tier 2 who just isn't that interested in "winning at all cost..." Fun is the goal. Winning and losing? Who really cares..... I sometimes seriously try when I recognized a forum name and I'll seriously try and 'hunt hem down".....that's always fun... Or, since I play events only, try to accomplish the missions as fast as possible to get back to other games that are a lot more interesting......

Fun is relative. So, have a blast (no pun intended) and for Christ's sake, have fun !!!

[El Bandito]

I'm also excited about my ballistic mechs, as switching back to 8v8 makes them have enough ammo to last through the match. Finally some dent on the las-vomit meta!

1) Create a new account
2) make sure from the 25 cadet matches you must stay Tier 4-5
3) enjoy the matches of tier 4-5

pros:

- less wanna be captains/generals
- do stupid things and no one will get mad
- LOL moments when seeing your team as scattered as the stars in the universe
- end of the game no one is rage quitting


P.S.

dont play seriously , this is just to have fun

Its to bad your not telling the truth even when making a new tier5 accounts then on to to tier4 you end up playing tier1-tier3 players ever since they reduced the buckets and loosened up the MM to match any tier to any tier per battle.

So basically its a stomp every battle no matter what low tier you are because you don't have the equipment or skills to compete.

Can't really say upper tier have more complainers, in my experience anyway. Smacktalk have been happening in each tier I've been in, and I have pretty fresh memories cause I was T5 like 4-5 months ago.

No offence intended, just genuinely curious: why do you play solo QP with mindset of yours? You do realize success of the match depends on your action maybe at ~10% (I'd wager even less), and like 90% of folks sitting there have winning as the side bonus for fun factor. Some lore folks bringing "unoptimized builds", newbs, casuals who have no intention to learn, etc, etc. Why not GQ/FP instead?

[Dogstar]

Also a great idea if you like LRMs!

Um, if that where true, nobody could hold better than a 1.1 w/l in quick play que. I believe many of the 5/1 folks out there are GP players, but there are examples that are not. I am almost exclusively a QP player, and last season had a 1.25 in assaults over 64 games and I am very far from the top of the leaderboards.

This has to be a masterful trolling attempt. I doubt anyone could be that intellectually deceitful.

I remember back in the old days of MW4:

I set up (as proof of concept) an Xbox DVD remote in my left hand for movement and a mouse in my right mapped for absolute input.

Yes, it worked. And yes, I used this online...

Why would you think that? I set up my own alt account and intentionally tanked the first 25 games so I’d have an account to goof around on when I was drinking. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that even drunk I was much better than the T5 sub-basement and gave up on playing it pretty quickly. Now T1 gets to enjoy me when I’m 6 bourbons deep.

Anyway, I could see wanting to have such an account if you plan to run truly ridiculous troll builds and don’t want to deal with angry T1 players giving you grief. The T5 sub-basement wouldn’t even recognize troll builds as troll builds for the most part.

The only T1's who get upset with troll builds are stat-mongers. They have the best tasting tears, and personally, I delight in their suffering.
