You serve only as a food for groups. This is your only role in the game. PGI wants it this way. Sorry.


He didn't say anything about groups. See below:

On top of that, an upper limit on PSR was always going to cause compression at the top. If I'm in the top 2,000 players and my PSR bar is capped, that means all 2,000 of us are being treated identically by the MM and that's just absurd.

honestly i don't see why people care so much. as long as the MM is working (its better than it was but still not great, population is still to low) you should eventually even out to playing with players of equal skill. this means more of those 11/12 or 12/11 type matches. who cares where you rank just have fun, thats what a video game is for. don't stress about being "elite", it doesn't mater. hell i sit solidly in Tier 3 and don't care (ok got to 2 before the PSR changes but again don't care). my KD ratio is likely less than 1-1 (though i do manage to at least get a few KMDD each match something that KD doesn't take into account) again i don't care. (on a side note i often tend to play few meta mechs or builds and i experiment often so i end up playing a lot of unskilled mechs) just relax and have fun thats all i can tell you.

Actually Grus, it is no longer such. They updated the PSR system a while ago.

Still feels like it. Now that may change once I get into teir 2 and see real competition.

So, nothing to do with groups. You do realize people can be in units and still play without dropping in 4-mans, right?

Matchmaker might as well not exist. There's literally no difference between average score of 240 and everything above that.

Done with this shіt. See you guys in a year.


So what is this arbitrary nonsense meant to mean?

In the month of May - I quite literally saw you play
  • Serious
  • Trolling
  • Base-diving for 0dmg (I have video, I wont post, because it is just embarrassing)
Your overall stats are clear you are 90%+, even if your overall gameplay is what I would rate at a 70% user level...

None the less you were literally throwing countless matches on purpose and behold 10 days later you come to the forum with this absolute nonsense?

There is no way anyone can possibly take this seriously. See you in a year?

Although my bet is, you'll be playing constantly and posting non-sensical rubbish within 3 months. Just like everyone else does.

Dude I am so sick of the forum user nonsense lately it's more than a mic-drop.

I am recording ALL MY GAMES. The rubbish I see, from the no-sense spreaders here - is nothing short of mind-blowing

That's what I am saying, why are they in the same sentence as mere scrubs like OOPS, JGx, EmP, and EON???? It's outrageous really.

I think it has something to do with last night soup q.

The OP was on the receiving end of almost 15 stomps while doing the most damage on his team.

The complaining player in question is in the top 6% of players according to Jarl's.
Regarding the Fact we have 5 tiers, every tier should hold 20% of the population.
And even if we stretch Tier 1 to be only the top 15%, he'd still be in the upper half of it.

Come on, we all know that anyone with a serious chip on their shoulder or anyone badly losing a discussion on the forum considers it a measure of a player's worth. It's not, of course, its just a component in a marginally acceptable matchmaker system, but people are always checking players' stats as if to validate them. So "ranking system", "matchmaker", "PSR"... all interchangeable and relatively non-functional concepts. Posted Image I use the term with a sprinkling of sarcasm.


Well if people are looking at Tiers as a ranking system. It can be pretty intimidating, embarrassing as well. I do not look at T1 players as elites. Anyone moving away from T5 to mid T4, T3 is considered a elite to their kind of piloting a mech.

sounds like your way of having fun is seal clubbing.

How would you describe groups of four T1 players dropping in QP with 3 top Assaults and one good Light, against a random collection of T1-T3 players in random collection of 'Mechs ranging from "good" to "junk"?

Plus points, if the premade sync-dropped with the fifth player, so it is actually a 5-man premade?

I guess that the previous poster simply prefers clubbing the seals, since he likes it more than being clubbed. MWO does not offer much more anyway.

The system is definitely broken though. I play +99% solo, my stats are definitely not in the top 20%... yet here I am. My one good match every 5-6 offsets 4 terrible ones.

I hate to break it to you, but that won't go away in Tier 5.

If anything it's a lot more common there.
