How to explain?
Imagine you want to evaluate the dominant strategies in [insert favorite team sport here]. Would you then look at games being played by the entire population, from 8 year olds to 80 year olds, and from every level of skill? Or would you just look at the professional leagues?
The OP did not state he was seeking to evaluate dominant strategies. In fact he stated he was seeking to evaluate the most popular 'Mech choices in MWO and what their match scores were, which last I checked, included more than "pro" players. Even *if* OP *was* trying to evaluate "dominant strategies" you would still be wrong to exclude all but the highest level of play, since from the developer's perspective they are balancing the game for ALL potential customers, not just the ones who are T1 and don't read gud
