I made tier 3 within 25 matches on my alt account.

WHEN ?

[Prototelis]

Around the same time they made it so I couldn't swear at people for 25 matches.

That doesn't happen anymore. You no longer start in tier 4. Now every new account starts in tier 5. The first ten matches on my latest account created a week and a half ago I averaged over 400 match score per game, the first 14 were nine wins, It only moved me into the start of tier 4. I've had a couple dozen 1k+ damage matches with match scores over 500 and several in the 600s and 700s. In the current event alone I've done the 500+ score four times with that account and i've definitely dropped with some tier 1s. Its only half way thru the tier 4 bar at present and that's over 150 matches with an avg still over 300 match score and a kill ratio in excess of about 2.5 to 1.

I actually started in Tier 5 and after one game I was Tier 4 which was a surprise to me because I wanted to stay in low Tiers for some time to see how they play down there.

Humble Brag

ME TOO

After my first 8 kill 1300 damage game in a trial Hellbringer I was in tier 4, got to Tier 3 real quick

Thought "whats the point"

After which I only used alts when training others in group queue when that was kicking and match maker was half decent a few years back.

Regular account see EMP regular in GQ
Alt account never see EMP in GQ
So back then Match maker worked, especially the first year.

Match maker has always *worked* in GQ.

It just gives up in like the first 30 seconds in order to make matches.

My smurf account started in tier 4 post academy and during the cadet phase I reached tier 3.

Yes, exactly.

You can EASILY get to Tier 3 before the CADET periot (25 games) is over.

You can be in Tier 3 inside of 4 games, maybe 5 games.

It really is just fake news.

[slide]

My account says I'm a cadet still and I'm in Tier 1. Been playing since closed beta and have 10's of thousands of matches behind me. Guess because I never completed the training it never advanced me. Could be that I suppose. Cadet does not always equal new.

[Prototelis]

You haven't changed your title.

We're talking about Cadet status, IE the state of being in your first 25 matches.

Whilst true, due to the upward bias of the current match maker and the broad spectrum of T1's, it hardy functions

To the extent at most group queues are reduced in size

Due to Match maker being unable to pool skill pools due to reasons, Im not typing but most know about.

Prove it. Go make a new account on your twitch stream and be in tier 3 in 5 games. But do it without the group place being carried by a team and being gifted all the bonuses to match score than 99% of the remaining player base don't have access to.

Sometime last week i watched a genuine new player's stream, within his 25 cadet matches and T5 he was matched with T1 players.
So it happens, seems he had fun anyways.

Actually no that was Ash thinking that you can go from Tier 5 to 3 in only 5 matches.

[Prototelis]

I'm sorry, there is no other way that comment can be interpreted other than you believe not only that ASH gets carried in GQ, that he is privy to some sort of bonus that gives him higher scores.

I don't think it can be done in 5 matches either, but I'm not about to accuse a high level-high profile player of cheating, getting carried, or receiving some sort of bonus score no one else does when you can literally watch dude pound on people on his live stream.

If that wasn't your intent; reword your post. It reads like a [Redacted] conspiracy theory.

Lol. What?

Dude, you really need to go outside more.

[denAirwalkerrr]

I made it to T3 with 2 1500+ damage drops on trial dakka KDK-3. Also lmao guys who still somehow believe in PGI statements when I even 3 years ago saw my friend I dragged into the game with T5 account drop vs Jay Z in QP.

Here's your proof. I actually did it in 4 games (lost the 1st game, and it gave me a = ). Just because you're not good enough to do it doesn't mean it's impossible. This was done tonight, just now (you can see the date/time in UTC in my end of game screenshots)

Here's the Tier 3 screenshot:


Here's the achievement. You can see that the cbills and 1 day free premium time for starting new account in corner matches 1st screenshot. The game made me waste time by doing the stupid tutorial before it let me play a match, and the wait times were like 4-5 mins:


Here's the screenshot from the website stats page. Total cbills matches my previous 2 screenshots, total kills and deaths is as my end of game screenshots (just saying so you don't accuse me of [Redacted] and doing some MSpaint job to fake it or something):


Here are my 4 matches:





I apologize again to all tier 4/5s I smashed tonight, sorry about that.
