Was that in Div.2 maybe, and the light pilot a Clanner in a Piranha?

I'm asking because recently, the same thing nearly happened to me, and the Clanner explained that this was in 'punishment' for me bringing a 'quirk-unbalanced' IS mech, and how Clanners had it tough in Div.1 because there they don't have any useable mechs to bring...

And I was wondering how that guy could have as many ties as wins, my impression being that ties should be extremely rare in Solaris. Then, however, the kami of Ishiyama rose up against him, and I mercyfully killed the Clanner with many SRMs to the face.

Yep...

Some people have not even played yet - as they are deliberately waiting to play to maximise the ELO jump/gain.

It's a bit ridiculous how it works.

Should have just played 1 game for the event and left it at there. Now there's so many people with a few games under their belt and are so high up in the rankings.

Exactly why I stopped in div 7. I couldn't figure out something I could make work within my 10 games, ELO epically tanked. Takes forever to boost back up, and I literally hate every mech in that div.

Edit; also, **** streaks in Solaris. That **** is weak. If they were going to **** over flamers, which actually have some associated risk they should **** over streaks as well.

Still have to do 25 games to get any rewards.

You could do lct 3m but i think to many streaks would hit you anyway. Mostlly i would look at a larger srm medium with 2 ams if i saw streaks being used.

I switched from the FLE to the blackjack to counter streaks by utilizing my delicious armor quirks to close and smash out their missile torsos. Easy peazy.

I really just like fighting the AC20 mechs in Div 6, its hella good practice for cool down counting, high speed brawl, and focusing laser on components while in a tight turn.
