What about this.... Squall team matched up against a typhoon team. Now that is not fun for both sides. We weren't on a losing streak so its not matchmaking granting us a win after some bad games.

Team please step on a lego or something. But in some miraculous way we won the game...

True, nobody forces players to play hightier only but losing money when having a good game is just ridiculous. I hope you agree on that. :)

Although this is true, it's still just retarded when you think about it. Sure, it is a "free to play" game but with mechanics like this you can't really call it free since you just need to pay real money in order to get anything out of it. Even though I am willing to pay for premium time, since I am investing enough time into the game to make it worthwhile, this has always baffled my mind. I can make money on T5 but on T10 I have to pay even when I am carrying the team to victory? Get the **** out, lol.

The season is currently one week old, so the clanratings might still be off from what they should be in the end due to the limited amount of games played. In some time matchmaking will get more accurate and hence even out so occurances like the one your clan had @Cime should happen way less frequent. Hopefully for you never again whilst in promotionbattles. But I agree that you got screwed by matchmaking on this one. Hopefully you guys got something out of it and aren't demotivated to keep on fighting for promotion!

Since it is a very rare occurance that you have to play a team +2 leagues I think what you say right here is exactly how people should react. Playing a very good team at times gives your team the opportunity to really test your own abilities and strategies as well as give you some new insights and tactics. Unless you get owned and cant make anything happen, I enjoy playing better teams because it gives me alot of satisfaction to make them sweat for their victory. You know it is going to be a tough fight so everyone on your team is playing at their best. And so what if you lose? GG to the enemy. There will always be another chance to promote to a higher league. If you're playing ranked and just when you're about to hit rank 1 you get the most abysmal team in the history of WoWs so you lose. crap happens, but would it prevent you from trying again?

Hasn't the system been made so, that after a couple of wins you're getting higher rated opponents? So for example we had a winstreak of 5 tonight while in storm and after those five victories we got OMNI as opponents who were in Hurricane.

What about this one? After a game in ranked you must vote as the winning team who does NOT win a star. And as the losing team you must vote who does NOT lose a star.

Hello guys. Does anyone of you know what the effects of the Mosaic and Spring Tie camo's (rewards for clanbattles) are? I can't find it anywhere...

But let us not forget what kind of matches we had about two years ago. ^^ There is obviously still room for improvement because we all have our games where we get unfair matchmaking but luckily these days MM gets it quite right most of the time.

Before I started playing the game myself I once played a game of World of Warships on a friends account. It was a tier IX Match in the Iowa. Obviously I was really really bad. A total deadweight for the team in that particular battle which we most likely lost. The teammates at the time must have thought to themselves 'Who let his pet monkey play the game?'. I didnt know anything from the game, was mostly looking around at all the other ships around me and when the action begun I was probably already dead. Yet it didnt bother me. I was hooked. So I stayed and learned and here I am today. Just joined the +5000 random battles club. What I am trying to say is, as bad as it may be that the skillgap in higher ranks will increase even further, on the long run it may attract more players to the game. Let new players have a sneakpeak at hightier to see what it is like. If they decide to from that day on only play those hightier battles yet get their buttocks kicked over and over again, well so be it. Only you'll find those kind of players in the higher tiers even today anyway so does it really matter that much?

Awesome moment in my furutaka where I rush two Julio Cesares and torp them both. ^^ (first 5 seconds are freezeframe I just realised but whatever )

Actually I do not but I don't want to give you any more attention than this if you insist on going back and forth about my choice of words in my original post. If you want to discuss the point I was trying to make then be my guest.

Division up with some more experienced players to guide you through the basics of the game. If you would like I'd be willing to play a few together.

Something with 'The pot calling the kettle black'.

1,5 times the xp of the winning team topplayer. Kek!

EDIT. So everyone who is committing time and effort to get the stalingrad flag has no life? Why not give everyone every ship in the game then? Because there will always be people whining about how they won't be able to get this or that ship. "Oh no I only play coop." "Oh no my clan is too small." "Oh no I only play low tier." "Oh no I cant play in that timeframe." "Oh no I am not skilled enough to reach this or that achievement." Dear lord, just accept that you cant have it all. The value for me is that this ship will be a ship you have to work for and that you cant get by spending money. Just like the Flint and Black. Want them? Go play ranked. Want the stalingrad? Go play clanbattles. Oh and arguments such as 'lets not give "OP" players an OP ship" are so stupid it hurts my ears. If you play and learn the game to the extend that people consider you to be a good player there should be some reward for that. Every ship can be OP if driven by a capable commander. Just wait and see until it comes out. If it is actually OP then sure complain about it. Remember: People complained about the Black that is was sooooooo OP. Sure it has a unique feature that same tier DDs dont have (*chung mu*) but you know it has it so you can plan your actions accordingly. Until today only 20.000 battles have been played in the Black on EU so its not like youre matched up against it every single game. If youre not good enough to reach certain objectives dont complain about it but train for it. Not everyone can be a professional athlete and earn a million euro but the ones that do deserve it because they worked their ****** off to get there. Its just a pity that nowadays every goodie can either be paid or grind for.

Was really looking forward to the next seasons of CW but as I can get my stalingrad in another way, why even bother? Was also really looking forward to sail around in a ship that was exclusive to some extend but now apparently everyone can get it. Well thats a shame.

Seems fair...

No witherer... that's special ;)

Good players will be able to win a high percentage of their games while dealing alot of damage and destroying many opponents due to good positioning. Stats will only confirm. If you know where to position yourself at the right time to deal useful damage (dev strikes, high dmg to dds, denying or resetting caps), you will probably win more games than average and kill more enemies than average.

WR might also give a wrong picture of how good a player is since he may play in 3man divisions 99% of the time. So his overall WR might be around 70% but his solo winrate at 50%. Is he a superunicum player as his WR suggests? No most certainly not. Same goes for PR imo, last time I encountered a player who was very bad in a T9 bb. So I looked up his stats and to my surprise he was a 'superunicum' PR player. "What the ****?!?!" But then I looked more closely and the guy had played 10.000 battles in the umikaze. Lol! So stats can be misleading.

Holy crap thats a lot of negativity. Maybe you should give WoWs a rest for a couple of weeks lol.
