Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

I have been playing a lot of the tier 5 brawls lately.

 

I would like to know.

Why does the matchmaker put 2 destroyers on one team, but then puts 2 cruisers on the other team.

This happens regular, where 1 team gets destroyers and the other team gets cruisers.

 

Why is it so hard for the matchmaker to split the team equally, and give each team 1 cruiser and 1 destroyer?

 

Having destroyers on one team and cruisers on the other is pretty unbalanced.

I am really wondering what has been wrong in the past days and my division keeps attracting players that are either afk or way below 45% resulting in a series of stomps..... Sometimes even playing solo doesn't make a difference in that...

Could be that players who recognize the current state of the game do not even want to execute a simple maneuver and play a lot less than what they did.

 

I think that produces a larger sample of new players, bad rating players that are used to having fun whilst being stomped and a few others that yet have to burn out or haven't really discovered team compositions.

Well you also are a subpar player is one of the reasons why your teams struggle. Maybe get better at the game?

Well I am main BB and DD and I can go out and do all the right thing in my DD and my team decides to not support me then it is a lost cause and i always try to support my team but when it happens 5 times in a row I stop playing for that day done deal. Getting better at  the game you say ?? I am laying around 51% and do have a good understanding of the game.

Little point in playing a surface ship with that garbage line up.

Oh how much WoWS has fallen from grace.

Wargamings pure greed has now completely ruined their own game.

Good players maybe.

But the Average Joe is screwed.

 

Do Wargaming really want players to just rage quit when they come across garbage line ups like that?

 

I want someone from Wargaming to tell me why there are allowed to be 2 x CV and 3 x Subs on each team?

Joe Average gets average results. Nothing surprising.

Your point being?

 

Skill of a player has nothing to do with how many subs and CV's are allowed in a team.

You are correct: assuming CV and Sub players are competent: surface ships have less opportunity to maintain concealment, spot, and utilize primary armament.

 

Unless theses players enjoy being gimped, I suspect they are having less fun. 

 

Just my personal observation of MM like this: increased hate speech in chat and intentional AFK.

Has been really messed up lately, it's been days now and can't win in full div, we used to have a winrate of 60-70% and now it's plummeting... It's as if it's predetermined...

Hello there! I couldn't find a more appopriate thread to post the following question.

I've been playing recently mainly two ships in random battles, Henri IV and Hindenburg, with the same playstyle (lighthouse build) and similar performances (xp per battle, dmg, %dmg per ship, potential damage, etc.) Then I started noticing that almost everymatch I played in Hindenburg, I ended with very weak teams, getting stomped in less than 10 mins. While playing with Henri IV, I ended with normal teams.


Is it a complete coincidence or is overall MM changing regarding the ship you play?

Sorry if this question sounds stupid. I'm playing this game for a long time, however I started to pay attention to the mechanics recently.
