Everyone is tier 1 now.

And even if they aren't which is really only an indicator that they just haven't or don't want to utilise the metagame or are relatively new/casual, they STILL end up in games with the t1 crowd who for the most part shouldn't be anywhere near a top tier...

It's almost like not having a system at all really.

But what is the "fix" exactly?

The only fix would probably be 10+ mins wait times. I'm not sure if that would help the game.

The easiest way is to at least sort potatoes after current "matchmaker" filled the teams. This could at least balance the teams better according skill level. Just use sum averaging on KDR/WLR/MS between teams and that will decrease numbers of stomp games. But ok, too hard to implement, MW5 coming, buy a mechpack, whatever... I saw once a game where one team contained at least 6 top comp teams players and another had ppl not higher than 2000+ rating on isen leaderbords, guess how it ended?

For the sake of the MM, tier 1 could be divided up into classes, say, A, B and C, where A are top players and C low scoring players. The designation doesn't need to be visible to players, only to the match maker.

Would be great if the top one percent were named though, so everyone could see it. Something to strive for, and something to hunt. :)

You'd think they could work off average match score since that is already tracked (by class, even).

Yeah, yeah, it's not perfect but it's good enough and is already in the game.

I say if the system is going to stay as is, add a whole bunch more ranks to it and scale it out to the point where staying in the top rank requires consistently getting a match score of 300+ or somesuch.

A long time player already has a pretty decent and accurate system that can be built upon. But, mention it on these forums and you are treated like you are engaging in illicit behavior by those who don’t want anything to change.

So, “working as intended.” Live with it, or don’t. They are not going to change.

It is not the MM, it is the PSR. Everyone gets to be T1 sooner or later. Now is apparently "later" ;) So, a "real" T1 fights against a "potato T1"

meh, I don't agree.

A bit of team shuffling to prioritize actual skill (avg match score perhaps) over purely matching tonnage would be preferred. Cool, we've got 3 EMP players on our team. Neat. Wonder how this will end up?

I dunno... that would require them doing more than nothing, and PGI struggles even with that.

We had someone on the team last night, who said it was their first game. Pretty sure those in tier 5,aren't supposed to be mixing with tier 2. They did ok, and no way to verify if this was true. If it is, something is off.

Definitely time for me to take a break. I simply can't handle the play any more. And I don't even give a damn about carrying. When you notice yourself just YOLOing, it's time to take a break.

There's a player who does that even though the leaderboards show he played 150 matches last month. Just FYI.

They should just do a re-tier of pilots who has more than 2000 games played and who still suck. Get them back to T5 games. This will improve the T1 to T3 quality
