Why does PGI set up their divisions they way they do? The last few times I've dared enter the Solaris arena, I've ended up in a medium or heavy fighting an assault, and once I brought an assault and got to fight a freaking PIRANHA! How hard is it to just match mechs based on their weight class, rather than this convoluted and arbitrary set of divisions that don't in any way reflect the properties of the mechs in them? Am I missing something?

Not sure why the ebon jag is 2 tiers higher than the hellbringer. I've never seen an ebon jag in solaris, not even once. And I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a hellbringer in div 4.

QKD-IV4 is a great mech but it should be tier 2 not tier 1.

IV4 is a very capable mech and quite able to kill annihilators in the hands of a skilled pilot.

How many IV4 pilots were in the top 100 of div 1 last season? Any?

I finished #35, but admittedly only about 30% of my matches were IV4, the other 70% or so were Annihilator

Tolson finished #11, but I couldn't tell you if 100% of his matches were IV4. Every time I fought him it was tho.

If you want a match that really pushes your skill to the limit tho, IV4 vs Anni is where it's at =D

I played most of my games in IV4 with some in a CPS, finished 70th div 1. It is a struggle, but considering my overall placing was 39th and wasn't running meta cheese in any divs, I'm happy

This is the highest ranking IV4 build, so presumably this.

Didn’t know Tolson was an IV4 pilot :P

Div 1 and 7 are my worst divs

And I was beaten by a lrm ACW

If I was better in the ACW I would try that

Too poor for an IV4, spent my monies on a deathstrike and a cipher

Lets see where the Warhammer IIC will end up. I expect the hero and the other ballistic variant to be in Div 1, with every other variant in Div 2.

Meh, it will be Div 1 or 2 but I would wager 2. It wont stand a chance against the mechs in Div 1.
