Why those concepts become mutually exclusive? Like.....how? And just for the sake of the argument, are you ruling out the possibility that you were lucky in 65% of your matches? I'm not disputing your experience, however my experience is vastly differing from yours. I made it to silver, rank 3 on both NA and EU and my experience closely mirrors that of his. I played several cruisers with vastly different playstyles according to their playstyles and.......no fun. Yes. However he lost 15 out of 25, not 4 of ...x. Absolutely not. The difference between the number of players is actually vast, given the current state of the playerbase. Not to mention other factors like maps. And as for your example you cannot ignore the vastly more lethal environment at T10 vs T4. Also the smaller maps. Again, you cannot separate the Moon from the Earth. A pacient may have fever but if he has.....lets say an immuno deficital precondition ( to be tactful) one cannot treat him with aspirin. You need the proper medication. Dumbing down and simplifying are absolutely not the same thing. Having worse choices, no matter how much they are, is dumbing down the game, overall. Of course they do. Just like in the of case of Cv's they severely limit tactical variety. Having Cv;s in a match makes the game more complex? Absolutely, however they also have a highly detrimental effect on tactical variety. Also fun. Not having Cv's makes the matches simpler, but definitively not dumber.

Yes. Because it is not possible to play for the win. The game is decided by the MM. Instead of having fun one watches in horror what's happening. around him. Which matches 100% my experiences. And btw I'm not watching twitch. At least with the starsaving one was motivated to do something because there was a possibility of not... working for nothing. And..... Wows is very much a team game at anything else then 1v1 and, maybe 2v2 and even at 3v3 to an extent . One of the arguments of the moderate pro Cv crowd is that "if nothing else you keep the Cv busy". How is possible that it suddenly magically become irrelevant at 6v6?? Yo....are you actually trying to make a point with that?. He having a 40%WR after 25 games....... Because it is not possible, with the current playerbase, in the current format. Before (7v7) we had those overlapping caps why dafaq was that suddenly removed?. It is a conscious design decision to make people play more. That's what Wedgie wants. This is not even balans let alone real balance anymore . Also that magnified battle influence which you keep repeating, works both ways. And I repeat Wows is a team game. Erm...what is the problem with... logic? I mean.... can you separate the Moon (and obviously its effects on) from Earth? There you go . Absolutely. All sorts of mechanics were introduced and removed which go completely against the core principles laid down before and alter the foundation on which this game was built. How the removal of teamkill is not dumbing down? How limiting cap skill choices is not dumbing down? How the introduction of RU Cv's does not dumbs down Cv play? How continuously buffing subs does not dumbs down their gameplay? How removing the 4% dispersion from camo's is not dumbing down? One always have to ask "what is the motivation behind changes, what is the intent". In the end the objective is, like I said in the other thread, "just sail around monke, enjoy the view and do pew pew".

Well .... yes. And also very much no. Because that wasn't Flambass main point. Like I kept telling in the other thread, one can't separate the Moon from the Earth. Meaning that one cant separate the state of ranked from that of the game and of he playerbase. The quality of the players currently is sub par as a direct result of Wedgie's continuous bad decisions, starting from the continuous and ongoing dumbing down of the game , the unwillingness to address core gameplay issues, the renunciations to the standards which made this game great the excessive monetization schemes and..... I could keep going for a good while. As a direct result a lot of older and better players have simply left. Because they don't see even a willingness, let alone actual actions to actually improve the game. Just imagine that people with even less than 200 battles can buy a premium and hop into ranked. I mean......just...... lolz.. But they are also totally incompetent, because by changing the rules and more importantly the format, they made it x100 worse. in 7v7 3 people could carry the others and comebacks were possible even from 3 ships down. Which is absolutely not possible in the new format. Also just look at how Wedgie implements subs, not to speak of the treatment of the feedback related to it. I mean...if you keep talking to a wall it will come a point when you will just... give up. Its just...... not even frakkin funny anymore. The only explanation is that, at this point, they are actively hating the game and the playerbase..or even worse they simply don't care

AEGIS?

Nobody needs that sh$t. Sacrilege!! Don't associate Jingles with Cv's. Only if it melts....

Btw....

What do you mean comrade? Those are minor details. There is a certain navy which never ever even started building one. And yet.....here we are...

Yes. Then we learned that Wedgie was testing stun bombs in the meantime. Or instead.

I'm not against it. However i would suggest a flag instead. A really big one. Like.... .....or.... Tho could be some combinations too

Well.....If spotting would be removed.....I wouldn't mind even the floating part of it. it would be still dishonest, don't get me wrong but.......tolerable.

Erm....going or saying? Or ?....

:) And how is your comment relevant in respect if MM is or not neutral ? :) Buut.. that's what we are talking about.:) Erm....I'm not gonna go there. We all have our own definition of fun, even if that could vary greatly.

With... what? That being online is not the same as being in the waiting room ( i.e. queue)? One can decide the battle mode but from then on he is in the waiting room. So.....I don't understand..... Erm... I absolutely do not agree that MM could not influence your battle results.....

You mean...chatbanned people still should have fun? Of course.

Ummm... that's my reaction when I see that there is a Cv in ranked So....no?

All true and correct. However MM absolutely can stack the chances for you to win or lose That's a very good advice.

Which was the point. Well....yes is true that the sun will be rising. I mean.....if you don't press battle you won't battle Umm.... you don't know that. You can believe that, however you have no way to prove it. For us, players, the MM is a black box

That's...... not how MM works. You don't see thousands of players in the waiting room You see a selection of them. On what criteria that selection is based......¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well..... statistical analysis by itself is not enough because assumes a neutrality of the game (and of the MM also its continuity). For example if there is a tiered system and also a cyclical behavior......you will never get meaningful/true results and such hypothesizes will be easily dismissed as being tin foil hat theories. You need personal experience too even if it raises obvious problems. I can see a good number of reasons. For example "punishing' for being.....hkhmm ...less friendly and also gameplay reasons. Remind me why RNG is in the game?.

Umm.....I would recommend reading some of the posts of Na player and forumite Sailor_Moon https://forum.worldofwarships.com/profile/1014737450-saiior_moon/ While he/she has a....certain style, he/she is basically asking for buffs ever since the ship was released.

Fix ranked? Easy, Remove the frakkin flying dishonesty, reinstitute 7v7, put in place a qualifying round before bronze. Did I mention remove flying dishonesty? Just in case: Remove the frakkin flying dishonesty!! There you go you can thank me later.

155 mm Mogami in ranked It is both challenging and fun An NA Pom Pom cap called her a drived citadel I'm proud of this game. Also I took very little damage

Yes and no. They have fixed spawn positions depending on the variant.

There have been a LOT of talk about how the changes gonna affect us, but..... most of them were quasi theoretical. Inspired by this thread.... ... I propose a different approach. This is a ....let's say higherish Raptor run . And this is the complete breakdown of the results So question nr1: What bonuses have to be used (and how many) in the new system to achieve a similar result? Question nr 2 It is even possible to achieve the same result? @Seraphice @YabbaCoe I'm tagging you guys and also @Klopirat

Yeah.......they really frakked up cruisers. And included Deadyee in the package....
