As the devs have already said, I think they want to add another tier, but they want to gather data on queue times with two tiers first and then reassess, which I completely understand. However, that’s not going to stop me from proposing what a new tier could look like right now.
Queues could become:
1-2-3 first queue
3-4-5 second queue
5-6-7 third queue
This would enable a more fleshed out range of equipment for the middle range. And, more importantly, it gives people an actual reason to create a loadout sitting at tiers 3 and 5. They would be at the lower end of their respective tiers, but would have the potential to match into a downtier. It would also give room for some weapons right on the edge of the tier that they are on to be moved up or down without too much of a dramatic effect. Some examples of that might be the Drum PPD-34 and the StG-45(m) going down to 5 within my proposed system ranks, or the PPS-42 and 43 going up to 3.
Yeah agree 5 tiers is too limiting and putting same weapons in same category as some superior versions like mkb vs stg, lanchester 50 mag vs first thompsons, PPD38 vs PPD40.
It should be at bare minimum 6 tiers. BR3 will get uptiered 80% of the time and mid tier won’t exist since who wants to drive m8 scott with a couple BR2-3 weapons and getting matched against King Tiger?
NO SKILL BASED, that’s what RUINED CoD games and BFV games. It NEEDS to keep its relative randomness. If it’s good vs good players, the moment I have a decent match I’ll be thrown against the sweat lords and never enjoy a game until the next 24hr cycle is up.
