I believe it might be a good idea to calculate matchscore/PSR for players based on an average of previous performances (of any/all players) in the same 'Mech. I would hope that the calculations are not weighed equally for a plinky Light 'Mech vs. something devastating like a MAD-IIC-DN or a Snub-boating AWS.

As an example, I was dropping in a MLX-D on FWC and felt that I was really kicking ***. Ended up the last 'Mech standing, and even secured two further kills with my single UAC2. Then I died and the match ended, and I got slapped with a nice red arrow for PSR.

A recording of the match for reference:

from what i understand from playing you get a higher match score for damage and destroying components (So damage farming) than actually killing which means you should just poke everyone you can and try not to kill them.... kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

so a more efficent killer has a lower match score than someone who just spread their damage around... why even use precision weapons???

yep the guy who took enemy guns off the field by killing gets a lower match score than the guy who just ran around pinging every enemy they can....

For comparison, here is an imgur post with screencaps of two matches with the same 'Mech. Aforementioned red PSR arrow, and a recent match with a worse personal performance and green arrow.

notice RUSSIAN BEAR got a higher match score than you. prime example of what i'm talking about.

You're really pushing yourself. You're getting quite stressed. I can take twice as many as you with a stationary sniper build. That's another reason not to use light mechs.

Your build looks similar to my Vapor Eagle build.
