No, I was replying to the guy that was complaining about meeting tier 10 in a tier 7. I told him that he can't meet tier 10. (Normally)

What is "normal"? Lets see: Normal is up to +2 tiers right? Also WG allows divisions +1 and that is "normal" according to them right? So if you are in a div with t7 and t8 ships then you can play even against t10 right? And since the rule for the div isnt violated then that is consider to be "normal" even if the +2t rule goes down the drain! Gotta love WG

Because its better to have more fair teams in regards to tiers. 

Its no fun trying to fight a Stalingrad in an Atlanta. 

 

They try to get you in a battle asap , i would be happy waiting an extra 30 seconds or however long it took , to get an even battle 

So according to you @hardkur911 wants only teams of the same tier? Nothing in his posts up to when I posted, pointed to this. All he said was some vague stuff about getting "better" teams. Without defining what and how.

So maybe you can confirm this hardkur?

 

But as you seem to think an all out same tier battle is better: it only makes good players stronger ( no more 'handicaps' when playing bottom tier ships ) and bad players worse. So it reinforces skill gap . Plus,  it makes for more boring games.

But that is your choice. When you decide to do that, then you should not complain. If you do not like the results, you can just decide to play only equal tiered divisions in the future and the problem is solved.

exelent question , if there was easy solution we would not have 140 pages discussion about these .
there are good players and not so good , problem is when game put all super unicums on one side and new players on another , these should be easy fixed just spread them equally among both teams .

ignoring the problem is not a sollution .

so you are talking about SBMM after all?

Can I start talking about why and how SBMM will not and cannot work in this game?

SO? Whats your point? Doesnt WG allow fail divs? Who's fault is that? Only those who form the div are stupid? Those who allow it to be formed arent? Oh i know. God forbid if someone says something "bad" about WG. Accolytes to the rescue!! :cap_money:

eerm nobodies fault is that actually.. and nobody is stupid. 

The game "allows" you to form a division with 1 tier difference.. 

and you are free to do that by accepting you MAY go see a +3 tier matchmaking... 

 

Allowing that is not a fault, 

doing that division and going against +3 tier ships is not a fault. 

Thats all crystal clear. The fault is, doing that, then complaining about how unfair the MM is? by dropping you infront of +3 tier ships...

So each time you division with unequal tiers and one of you gets +3 mm you cry about how wargaming allows this? 

Maybe wargaming deems their playerbase somewhat capable of understanding that by doing so they risk getting +3MM.

Who the f complained about the MM when in a fail div? The point was that fail divs arent the fault of just the players but WG aswell. I guess it would be really hard not to be able to make fail divs and ruin the game of all the other in that team huh? Simple as that. Besides. MM is already crap as it is. No need to make a fail div to make it crappier! Accolytes to the rescue!! :cap_money:

  1. Yes
  2. It is their decision
  3. No, unless they complain about the results of their action and continue doing that
  4. It is an option. When you buy a knife, you have the option to cut your thumb off. That is not the fault of the knife maker when you do it

Many who do that actually? Seen that several times...

There have been threads, making demands that faildivs should get BETTER MM :cap_fainting:

Thats not the point of the argument.. That is stupid and i agree with you. But the point is that fail divs are real and ruin the game of others. And since stupidity will always exist -unfortunately- then is up to WG to change that? Or is that something unreasonable to ask? At least since the MM on normal divs will never change and remain a total crap, why dont they get rid of the fail divs.

Hey, i dont disagree with you there, ive asked for that myself. But the problem is, WG just doesnt care. They will just make up something, and even if they wouldnt, its their call.

I wasn't directing to you personally, sorry If you got that impression. 

But %99 of the fail division topics are blaming MM for putting them in +3 tier match. 

 

allowing fail divisions or not is another discussion. WOT cancelled that completely.. 

WOWs can do that.. My point is, and I guess some of the others', 

when it is very clear that you MAY go against +3 tier match, there is no point doing that and complaining after..
