Ok then give us the replay, if you honestly want a judgement if its you or if its the teams. From the endscreens its impossible to judge for sure.

I mean you can get a long streak of super bad teams, where its not your fault, yet it looks like from the winrate i could be. Thats already an exeptional bad streak right there. Maybe in the later games the losses got to him, which influenced those outcomes aswell. All speculation. Rule of thumb: 3 losses with super bad gameplay in a row: quit the game for the day or atleast for several hours.

I was just talking with a mate about Blyska and the EU special captain. We noticed, that the synergy is not great, because of the silver EU DDs, you want SI for the extra heal - which Blyska doesnt have. Many also think, that Blyska was power crept (too much?) over time. If Blyska would get a heal, she would synergize with the silver EU DDs. She could also forfill her role as a gunboat DD better. What do you guys think? Maybe we should poke WG in that direction?

Because, as established, he has a problem with mathematics and logic.

LOL and you think by rigging every match, YOU could have an impact on 100% of the games and win them. Summer is over my child. Winter is coming. Go play a single-player game. that offers what you are looking for. There you can influence 100% of the game and can only blame yourself once you lose. Nice putting words in his mouth that he never used. You must be fun at parties. I already saw how you play XD and then whine :D

Oh my god - Henri & Minotaur was killed by CV you

Henri is a premium ship now? Also all DDs are not only premium ships, but ofc OP aswell. All of them. Thx for your valueable contribution to this topic. But we all here know, you are one of the hardcore CV-lovers. Even you hide your stats these days, your talk is enough to give you away.

I remember that season and the discussion we had about Venezia very well. And it was indeed Helmut, who heavily argued in favour of Venezia. We did field it a couple of times and were not 100% happy with it. In retroperspective, its easier to see, why and what went wrong or why it went the way it did. First: spotting. with no CV, the situation was completly different. In that season, it wasnt viable to stay with your ships at 20 km away from the enemy. You would have given up the caps for free, enemys would have just stopped shooting and win on points. When we talk about ships/tactics/earlier seasons we cant be that blind to the obvious, right? Second: This mere fact of how you had to play the ships/engage the enemys lead to us having Venezia much closer to the enemys then what we saw in the CV season. We had Venezia kinda in the DD support position. There we wanted to use the strong SAP as a surprise against the enemy DD for an early heavy hit. Conclusion was, that Venezia takes a lot of damage in that position and isnt better then f.e. a radar Mino (it was also other factors, that lead to Venezia not working the way it was expected for us, non of which has anything to do with Venezia or the player, that was steering her). In that very same season, we also saw some other Venezias here and there. And I recall one hurricane clan putting Venezia in the exact same way into the game then we did. And when my Henri vs that Venezia spotting happened, I took soemthing like 11k from him while he took 50k. All because of the Venezia not knowing that im there. In the same late season, we saw the first Venezias in kiting position far away with a DD providing the spotting ,thats true. And that was horrible to deal with as Henri, thats also true. But again, in retroperspective, it might have been better back then to field more then 1 Venezia. It might have also been better to experiment with Venezia in another role, but if I remember correctly, none of us had the idea to use her in any form any close to what we saw in the CV season. Back then, we played a heavy Henri strategy with a super aggressive approach, so maybe we also missed the different perspective to see the role she could fill. But then again, underlining factor was: spotting of the CV. An exact copy of how Venezia is played with CV is simply not possible in game without CV, atleast if the enemys have half a pound of brain. The synergy Venezia-CV is incredible and makes this ship almost unbeatable.

Damn, unplayable. - close everything outside of the game: For me open browser creates exactly such kind of lag, especially if there is a gif on that page. Reason? I dont know, it just does. - lower gfx settings: not the best option ofc but if it helps... worth a try.

I mean T7 matchmaking these days... im not surprised. Nobody should buy a T7 premium anymore, seriously. My former favourite tier ruined by gameplay mechanic changes and matchmaker changes.

2 guys already before pointed out, that there was plenty of time. Did the Kremlin appear out of nowhere right at his bow? no, it didnt. Ofc you make up your mind before you start to push in. Montanas Cita is hardly reachable in that brawl situation, while Kremlins cita is right there on the silver place. Kremlin would not have killed the montana even with the guns in perfect waiting position. I use the same advantage when I got brawl BBs with Alaska, f.e. Was a wasted oppotunity, the Kremlin sure was in the worse position, Montana had every chance to take this fight and win it while surviving.

Kremlin should actually be happy for the trade. If you knew how to brawl & drive by, you would have deleted him and lived. Kremlin wont be able to one shot you from that range, while you have no probs taking a Kremlin out in a brawl.

YOU ask for Arguments? The guy that hasnt brought up one himself? Only insults als tin-foil to cover the entire earth twice? That would be you. 100-freakin-%.

Guess we need to add "I dont know what a forum is for" to the list... incredible.

do it. show again how you dont understand numbers and logic.

You have anything else to say then constantly insulting people? last 3 pages is a "greek patriot insults everyone that doesnt agree with him" show. So its you who draggs this discussion down to a level, where its no longer a discussion. and btw: people like you would only be happy, once you have all super unicums on your team every time and win 100% of the games. The moment you lose one game because the enemys has 0,1% more at some statistic you gonna start to hate & flame here again.

Indeed here lies all the truth. By logic and mathematics one will be in the team with the lower winrate every second game. thats what people like @Darkeid and our @Greek_Patriot need to understand. They keep posting screenshots as if this is some sort of evidence that mm is rigged against them. Yet this is how it looks for each of us all the time aswell. I seriously think, they dont get it. But Greek Patriot showed serious lack in understanding of mathematics earlier so Im not surprised. And yea, carrying such games indeed makes the difference if you are a 50% player (or below) or you start to climb above 50%. its as simple as that. Also: using matchmaking monitor indeed does nothing but hurt yourself. Not sure how it helps when you rage at the start of the game "oh im gonna lose" then dont put in any efford just to lose and say "Ha! I was right!" how does it help oneself?

Very true and thats the point of this topic here. Im still leaning towards @eliastion in the discussion. Let me pick up a few points that were made and add some thought to it: Buffing concealment: Sure, that would help Blsyka. But I feel, that concealment on a DD is largly a DD-interaction/balancing factor, as mentioned by Panocek (ty forum @ doesnt work) Depending on how much you buff concealment, it either does very little to nothing or steps on the tows of other T7/T6/T5 DDs when Blys is toptier. Improving the speedboost: I actually like that idea aswell. About the heal in general: We heard a lot about power creep, new DDs and other DDs. Lets not forget 2 mayor changes within the recent time. Thats popularity of CVs and introduction of SAP. Now, in the tier range of Blys, italian cruisers are not the most common and not as dangerous as Venezia. But SAP still hurts. And when @Bear__Necessities brought up the point of getting every DD a heal, im tempted to say, that with those 2 changes I just mentioned, it wouldnt make DDs overpowered. But there are also other means to buff survivability but to add a heal. Could buff the base health for example. Shiratsuyu comes to mind, pretty hard to play these days imo with the low health, when you get in a T9 game with CV, Radars, hydro DDs - to mention another example of a T7 DD which indeed got powercrept.

Indeed. Its all of them or nothing. To be honest, the concealment module is what makes Z-39 stand out on that tier, which was once again a questionable decision.

I was actually just trying to be funny mate :D Although the first point I actually do practice myself. Evening is a no-no.

So the player is at fault, not the matchmaker - unless you want the matchmaker to ban those players when they enter the queue. Which I would agree with :D When you look at what WG has done over the past 2 years, you will come to the conclusion, that they dont care about bad players in high tier games. They started selling T9 premiums, even a T10 was available for cash without any skill check, they made the economy easier, so underperforming players can stay on T10, they kept introducing tools and mechanics to make grinding more easy, thus people reach T10 faster... Conclusion: give up. what you are trying to achieve is not going to happen. we are moving in the other direction. As sad as this is.

Thats open for discussion I suppose. Yea, thats another can of worms, but I completly agree with you. Especially the silver line DDs on T7 are a horror to play these days, since you see T8/T9 pretty much all the time. I wish, WG would improve the DD concealment on T6/T7 (its mostly those tiers, on lower tiers they have better concealment again), but somehow I feel, thats by design. Thinking about how T7 BBs have the plating issue when facing higher tiers and T7 cruisers got thrown under the bus with IFHE rework...

Ill give you a quick walkthrough "how to be fine in ranked". Its quite easy, really. Just avoid playing at the following times: - Dont play after 6 pm - Dont play between Friday 2 pm and Sunday 11:59 pm - Dont play after midnight - Dont play the day after a patch - Dont play between 5 am and 11 am - Dont play between Monday 11:00 am and Friday 2 pm Stick to those rules and you gonna be fine.

Facebook - the place where humanities finest gather :)

Ive come to the same conclusion over the years. For quite a while, I try to play ranked as early as possible in the day. Works pretty well.
