[2022] So it seems the happy times of T9 MM are over...

Bottom-Tier should still be Bottom Tier. If the lowest Tier in the match is a Tier 9, it should qualify as a Bottom-Tier match.

I've heard folks say they've charted out 20 games and found inconsistencies with the % values listed for Top/Bottom Tier stuff, so there might be a Time-in-Queue override, though if there is I don't have any information regarding it. In general, it should aim for the target values of Bottom/Top assuming there's enough players to works with and avoid Queue Dump weirdness.

According to what I understand, yes.

Can you explain what you mean by this? I'm not quite understanding your picture just by glancing at it.

As I understand it, Tier 9 being Bottom Tier in the match should trigger the 40% rule. If there's an issue and that isn't happening, please let us know so we can look into it.

Does that mean:

Battles which Tier X ships exist in?

or

Battles which Tier X is the biggest ship? (assuming Supers are special/bigger)
