Psr Update And Changes - Jun 2020

So we are getting the PSR reset, also we are getting the combined queue stay for good. In that case, can PGI please take a look and adjust the drop zones on the maps? Because when slow heavies/assaults get dropped in light mechs position now, it can be a death sentence for them.
Also, some folks seem to be complaining like their life depended on this PSR change/reset. While I understand some concerns, it's still supposed to be the solo queue - the more casual queue to play. For those "better" mechwarriors you have competitive play/faction play. It's only my guess but I think some of these players are so mad about the changes here, because they don't have a group, or good enough group to play and not get roflstomped in comp/faction play, but they want to "shine" here in solo queue.
Personally I like KamikazeViking's suggestion for determining the PSR change, as it's not dependant on exact Match Score Values, so for example it won't "punish" a good player on losing team who tried to carry the team and got around 380-400 MS in the end. Maybe I would add to it some conditions, if some MS values on the winning side would be really low - so that if 3 or 4 players carried really hard, and dragged the team, while others did little to nothing (so 3 or 4 mechs with score of 400-500+ and the rest circling around 150-200, maybe a bit extreme example - but my point is, to try to minimize "dragging" some people up, who shouldn't go up)

Like in ranked MOBA game, it's expected you all at the same level at ranked game. Tier 1 will only play with Tier 1. Tier 4 will only play tier 4. So if you lose to other team with the same RANK/MMR/TIER it's a fact that you are worse than them and you should lose RANK/MMR/TIER.
yeah..but you missed a thing. there is not enough players in MWO to separate T1 guys.

Or just hide TIERS completely and use the numbers purely for match making - I don't think most players need tiers to stoke their e-ego. Especially when many people said it is CASUAL QP, not RANKED QP.

If the player pool is that small you cannot afford to separate T1 from others, all valves are open.
But you can make PSR more accurately reflect player skill then allocate skill to both teams.
Seriously these guys don't have a clue and are going to make matters worse.
Upward Bias is still their and now you get extra punishment when trying to carry a losing side.

I had my share of losses where few of us would do 400+ damage while the rest of the team got wiped within 2 minutes and we would get into the same basket as them.

I can anderstand concerns about balance, about frustration to loose when you did your part, but "team fate" should be a thing in a 12v12

I hope all these complainers are, at least, practicing 1v1 solaris.
Just to know if their personnal skill is that good, or if they just use teammates as distration /meatshield /lock providers (and blame them if they don't keep lock even if spotted by the other team) to rise their match score.
ps:
Okay I may be a bit upset.

Wrong. Your rating will rise at the same time on wins if you don't regularly score <100 points of matchscore. Thus, your rating should stabilise at your actual PSR, a w/l rate of ~1 and an avg MS of ~250.

In all these situations, we had few players who did exceptionally high damage, killed enemies, etc. They were not able to repair the damage done by other players in the team, so they will go down with the rest of us. As I understand this system will reward or punish individuals based on teams performance. Team, again, they have no control of.

New PSR values:
Player LOSES:
Match Score: 0-100 goes down in PSR by -5
Match Score: 101-250 goes down in PSR by -3
Match Score: 251-400 goes down in PSR by -1
Match Score: 401+ does not move.
Player WINS:
Match Score: 0-100 does not move.
Match Score: 101-250 goes up in PSR by +1
Match Score: 251-400 goes up in PSR by +3
Match Score: 401+ goes up in PSR by +5
Average matchscore is around 240, means this numbers will give a downtrend.
If even players play against each other they will also mostly have around 240ms,
because less lower skill players to inflate numbers, giving mostly -3/+1 on you psr.
But thats from the numbers i found,
maybe pgi can give us some real numbers:
Average matchscore and average matchscore for winnung/losing team would help.

I've been in games where the enemy were already 2-0 up when we took the top but once friendly team took the top and started moving in, we won. As people said, teamwork OP but people must know that some strats result in casualties but FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
Should the 2 casualties (with surely low match score) be punished for taking part in a winning team strategy?
edit:
There's always counter exemple when you consider ONE match.
Compare what is globally intensized by rewarding match score or WL.

Casuals were the ones screaming in favour of it, they got exactly what they asked for - and if they refused to understand that it wasn't going to be what they wished for, that's on them. Now they get to continue screaming - while on fire...

I am not ok with this project and i don´t want this !!! period
If you are against it, you are speaking out in favour of terrible matchmaking and continuing stomps.
So what is worth more to you? Getting more fun and enjoyable matches in the future or holding on to a pointless ego award that has been achieved by 2/3rd of the playerbase ?

The builds don't need to be necessarily bad but probably just not suited for the situation.
Most common thing is one team getting lots of lrm mechs on polar or solaris.
There are also quite a few mechs which I'd call gimmicky and not top notch but still very fun.
If you want true balance everyone needs to agree to play one type of mech.
Most likely a decently quick brawler because that's imo the quickplay meta and the reason why most stomps happen.
One team getting more speedy close range mechs and forming a nice murderball or winning the nascar.
This is not even touching the skill point issue because everyone has to skill up mechs.
Does a 0 point mech perform like one with 91 points invested?
Not even close.
So how does a skill tier matter?

its nice that pgi is admitting that psr was just a noob protection feature. i always figured that was the case. you could still have this if you create a t6. its not a real tier as that it doesnt indicate the skill of the pilot and as far as the mm is concerned its the same as t5. you can only become t6 when you start a new account. and as soon as you get enough psr to get out of it or you get all your cadet bonuses you can never go back no matter how bad you play.

I fail to see why then, if the above stated is true, do we need these changes? Nothing good will come out of it.
In fact, it seems to me that the ONLY thing that will come out of it that big group [Redacted] will be flung around in people's faces.
This change also effectively kills the drive to "carry" since if you do 1000 damage with 5 kills, and the rest of your team does 200 or less, you still suck and gain nothing.
I don't care about tiers, but this just seems pointless..

With the changes in effect, the matchmaker can differentiate - given some time seeding - and evenly distribute players, even of different skill ratings, across opposing teams to build matches.

EDIT:
Why are people so focused on PSR shifts of individual matches when the only thing that really matters is the overall statistics over a larger number of matches?
Really doesn't matter if the system is blind to you trying to carry a lost game or having been carried to a won game.
