But honestly why do you dislike them? Because of the rewards out of those short battles or because of the short battle time? Or something else?

 

Combination of both being boring/feeling like a waste of time and getting no rewards. Playing ~15 mins even in a loss often gives atleast decent baseXP, even tho it might be frustrating.

Also it usually ends in facepalming because you cant understand why most of your team suicided :cap_haloween:

Also a fair mention if you don't want 5 minute losses just GIT GUD.

 

Thats pretty much impossible. Not saying that these happen frequently, but they do happen. When 6-7 ships of your team just die, you can forget about stopping that. The maximum is usually 4~ ships or so, from that you can sometimes recover.

Even a 5 min roflstomp win can feel better, because you might have contributed to that yourself by blapping 2 ships. Kinda annoying, but atleast you get a win.

Overall i must say tho, having those roflstomps is not something i see very often. I can but wonder about people claiming that they have them all the time, if thats really true or if they are just making that up. Most games  usually last >10 mins.

Devils advocate:
If they would improve the rewards on a loss in which you had a bad experience regarding a lot of fighting but no (hardly any) impact on the outcome.

Honestly that would give me a goal to actually do what I already do. But with the difference I would feel better about it.
Then again I am not talking about a petty 600 XP such is shown in the zekai example. Should be more in the region of 1200-1500XP (provided you worked hard for it, if not that 600 is fine)

Salvaging 5 min losses is impossible. 99% your team suicides, and you cant prevent them from doing so, 1% might be you having bad RNG to not kill that broadside Cruiser. But even in that event, you might be looking at only 1 more minute of play time.

If you truly git gud (and got that don't surrender mentality) you can drag them out up to 18 minutes.

Tier 7 has been getting really bad MM lately! Most of the times it's in tier IX...

 

@MrConway, @Crysantos do you guys know anything extra on that?

 

Tier 7 used to have very nice MM and nowadays you need to carry high tiers.

Thats true. Has been like that ever since they eased the T8 mm. IMO its much worse to face T9s as a T7 then playing against T10 when beeing a T8 ship tho.

I dont feel like playing T7 anymore, eventhough it used to be my favourite Tier.

So, this happened. 5 DDs, 1 CA and 5 BBs.
It might have been in the early hours of the morning, but that really is no excuse.
If weegee can't fill a battle sensibly, it's time they had a bit of a think about how they how they do things.

Probably usual whales-weebs went for it so hardly only noobs. Anyway even in a worse case noob scenario how different it could be to 42%er with 15000 of games in his shiny Kurfurst yoloing or sniping from the border?

TX is potato soup anayway since a long time.

They can sell whatever as long as it's not brokenly OP.

Well i think the ARP Yamato is designed for weeb-whales, i dont think a newbie would throw this much money into the game... the ship the newbies go for is the Derpitz anyway.

Well , that can happen to .. My experiance was that ARP Yammies around me were mostly Waifu-Warriors. But honestly, with the T10 playerbase even a new player is not that big of a deadweight, on T10 you see more sub 45% experianced noobs than anywhere else in the game.
