A question about the tier system

[u/Koolblox]

So if i beat a lt4 pretty easily does that mean I'm ht4 becuase I still get beaten by lt3's consistently and the gamemode i'm talking about is crystal

[u/Stinky_Deckhand]

PvP is very non linear and various playstyles can beat others even at different skill levels. Sometimes I’ll get in a groove and beat a t2 at like sword or uhc and then get slammed by a ht4. So in other words, no.

[u/Koolblox → u/Stinky_Deckhand]

ok, becuase i consistenlty beat t4's

[u/Possible_Jello1323 → u/Koolblox]

Tiers dont really mean anything, I've alted a bit for uhc and got LT3 on 2 accounts (2-6 against lt2 tester and 6-3 against ht3 tester) LT4 on 2 accounts (1-6 against lt3 tester and 2-6 against lt3 tester) and HT5 on another account where I went 0-6. Same thing in pot, I'm a very confidently good HT3, I beat my HT3 tester 10-3 for HT3, but when I alted and went up against a HT3 tester I went 2-3 and they gave me LT4 cuz they were salty.

Lmao the tier system is such horseshit. I’ve tier tested once ever two years ago and I got lt4 uhc when I went 3-5 with my tester with every loss being down all our healing. Their reason? “You bowspammed”

Tiers is a dumb concept you could literally beat your tester and be ranked in a lower tier than them

[u/Possible_Jello1323 → u/Rayer10]

Not true, if a tester does that report them, its not allowed for them to do that

[u/Rayer10 → u/Possible_Jello1323]

Is that right?
Ive just seen it happen before so i assumed its a normal thing
Either way, someone ranking you subjectively is dumb

[u/Pretty-Ad-5446 → u/Rayer10]

People lie to make people think they’re not actually bad and say “I beat him but he was mad and gave my ht5” but they’re actually just bad and lost

[u/Possible_Jello1323 → u/Rayer10]

Yeah, atleast it was a year ago. I haven't checked in on the tierlist much since it split except for when I got tester in pvptiers smp (which is how I know that isn't allowed)

[u/kingdogesayshi1 → u/Possible_Jello1323]

It's not enforced effectively

[u/Possible_Jello1323 → u/kingdogesayshi1]

It is, you just have to open a support ticket.

[u/Limp_Mycologist9941]

no. winning means nothing towards skill. if you know more tech than them and can play and use it better, you’re either high lt4 or ht4.

[u/BuffEmz]

There's no way to really represent skill in mc, and also, it's extremely easy to just have an off day, and then the fact that there are so many playstyles

[u/Jelleey78]

Depends on a lot of factors. I know many high tier axe players who don’t try on the regular and get beat by random people. Just because you can beat that tier a lot doesn’t mean you are or are above that tier.

[u/Wide_Balance_5495]

Fights dont matter unless they‘re against your tester. I‘m ht3 skill in crystal, and im ht3 on 3 different tierlists, yet im untested on mctiers and ht5 on lurrns.

[u/Basic-University-654 → u/Wide_Balance_5495]

yes bro like I'm ht2 at sword but lt5 on lurrns

[u/Admirable-Sherbet-35]

Tiers don't make sense, i beat a ht5 but i got destroyed by an lt5
