HI ALL

Well it is true, i have fallen from grace since the last UPDATE, it would seem A change has happened, much like last year, when match scoring was changed.
I mostly play SOLO like many NEW GUYS WOULD, and if they ask me, should i PLAY this game i would say it NOT good solo, if have no friends playing go some where else.
THING is if new folks SOLO----- can folks SEEM like leveling there Leveling UP, the game becomes SMELLY like bad bread.
I have worked my way out of tier 5 before but this feels different, i am really playing with folks testing there mechs, almost every DROP has like 5 to 6 guys doing less then 100 damage, and i saw a 4 man group all do 125 points each, and they ran BIG mechs.
I have done some matchs with 2 kills and 6 or 7 assist, and damage in the 300 to 400 range and i still going down.
LAST THING, i can be hunted, some folks know me, they will run past the PUGS and attack me please help me and the pugs ------------

If you make your Builds like the YT-Videos then you should go more like Baraduls-Builds.
They are good and all purpose with good damage.

I tried my way to T4 with Damage. Was not good.
Then I went Scout and Bing after 2-3 months T1-100%.

It is the combi which brings you up. 100 Damage and all the rest to get the bonuses are mostly enough.

Try that, AND MULTIPURPOSE MECH! My 100Cents

Even with a language barrier, there's no need to play solo. Even if you can't understand the calls vocally, playing with a group still allows you to follow around and identify your lance due to the fact that your color-coded a different shade. Try that and see if it helps. You'll also benefit from being able to spectate your lance mates and copy builds that seem to be effective and match your play style.

Or forget groups, just pick a battle buddy when the match starts and glue yourself to them. If you pick a potato, then at least the potato has backup.

If I see a group on the team and I'm in a mech that can, I'll shadow them and support them on the assumption that they're communicating. If I don't see a group, I'll pick a player with an older badge on the assumption that they kinda know what they're doing. And doing this with a Medium mech earns a lot of "protected medium" bonuses which bumps my match score up a little. Every bit helps.

WOW i have done every thing you guys have said, i have even been followed, i do have tags, been playing since the game opened, had some wins last night was ok, but its like i go so high in tier 4, and then i get like days of the wrong side, its is a wall that i can not pass.
i may be hitting point where there bait for me, they have no lights that can kill me, and my kills begin to add up, its like if i hit match score of 245 for month, and then spent a month, going down its all so VOODOO -----------

There is a last 2-part-wisdom, in which I suck too:

1. Returning back after your scouting and let the team die first to get your damage (hey, you gave the chance to rush and they didn't use it)
2. Wait and let the noobs and waiters die first, and grind (no shame, where being drunken is a honor, vomiting is not dishonorable!) and as you'll see they do it too !

And yes there is a voodoo-wall no one can explain (i think)

HMMMM i think i should tell you, it seems to go a little beyond TIER LEVEL, and uses your present math score, so i go so low and then start making 300+ match score 2 games in row i go up i am near that again, and then i most times spend 4 to 6 weeks going up, then hit the wall, go look at me on the leader boards, but this low points is bigger and longer, mark the DATE of the UPDATE.
ANYWAY its more time to go light and high speed med mechs, hmm no i will not tell you my mechs : )
