playing MWO for a bit more than 1 year, always have been able to hold max T1 under the old system, though I do worse now :/
I heard 1v1s are a good way to practice, anyone up to devoting some lobby time to me?

[VonBruinwald]

Why not Solaris?

[ghost1e]

want to train normal QP mechs and not solaris leveled stuff

[Horseman]

QP may involve greater ranges, but the basics in terms of awareness, accounting for enemy loadout etc remain unaffected.

1) different mech loadouts

2) different skill trees

3) no consumables

4) garbage ui

5) more waiting than gameplay

6) garbage mech tier system

Solaris is literally 100x worse for practicing anything than 1v1 lobbies.

Well, if you like going in raw hit up Jay Z.

The exact builds are irrelevant.
Your ability to assess the threat, the most effective means of dealing with it and the terrain you could use to your advantage is what matters.

You don't learn by training with a ******* crutch.

Not really.

5) more waiting than gameplay

Unless you bring your own opponents...

6) garbage mech tier system

With enough flexibility for multiple viable strategies in each division.

Nah. You can pretty much make it into a semi-private lobby that actually pays out C-Bills and XP.

Actually builds are relevant. Since this game's main mechanic is entirely based around builds.

Lmao.

Turns that in a game, of which a major portion of it, is building mechs, builds matter. It's why Solaris builds are different from QP builds which are different from FP builds.

Turns out "crutches" exist and are a part of the game.

Lmao, imagine thinking this. Solaris ui being absolute hot garbage isn't up for debate. If you unironically think otherwise you can just uninstall.

Or you can bring any mech you want without having to worry about the laughably bad solaris ui.

Semi private lmao. Imagine thinking the term semi-private is superior to private ever. Semi-private urinal. Semi-private bedroom. Lol.

Also imagine thinking Solaris is superior to private lobbies, which have existed in a functional form since the premium time requirement was removed, in any way, shape or form.

I think everyone is doing worse now because the competition has gotten stiffer.

There's a guy on OutreachHPG (the Reddit page) called Surnbe who seems to really know his stuff, he recently hit top rank with Light and Assault 'Mechs, maybe you can hit him up for advice?

[Black Caiman]

Yeah! Surnbe is SO good: claims he even better than that one guy...what's his name like asssh or something? Anyway, I'd like to see a mirror mech 1 v 1 between these two. That'd be some content...of course somebody would have to turn AutoCAD offff.....

Like join comp discord and don't be an as%$%%$? Never had problems to get team invites. U might have 2 jump in a few ts or discords and get in touch with people. Sadly this is to much for all the solo guys in a mp title.

No, people aren't in the tiers they were before because the PSR system now uses your skill to determine your tier placement & not how many matches have been played.
