You probably have to think about it a bit and read my post agin or do you mean the current MM are penalizes the player that have over 50% in WR? 

 

If that is a yes then the MM are really wrong.

 

Im are still over 50% WR  thanks to i did learned early how to play this game but i can see that my stats going down slowly thx to the shitty MM as it is now.

• No
• It is very unlikely that you lose as much as you claim

Yes.

I see only one bad streak 6 weeks ago.

 

Edit: And I suggest you look at you solo winrate and make better choices for your divisionmates in the future...

Happened right now but what do I know...

 

 

...but ofc you are going to have a bad time if you push yourself into areas where you have no business. How about you start question yourself instead of blaming the mm? Because, you know, the enemy team does have T6 ships aswell. But they perform better then you do, since you are a factor to make teams, that you are a part of, lose. Thats what your stats tell. And you have no business on T6 anyway with 124 battles. You belong at >=T4, where you learn the basics of the game at a slower pace.

Yeah just [edited]casual players amirite. The game should only be fully accessible to people willing to dedicate hundreds of hours to it. Anyone wjo doesn't want to that should just suck up the limited functionality of low tier ships.

Limited funtionality? Its the same game dude. I play lower tiers all the time. Nothing different in toptiers. And if you want a straight up answer: Yes, if you are not willing to learn, you shall suffer. Thats true for EVERY game. Ever played a shooter? you should be happy we have tiers here, that seperate the players and most players with experiance prefer the high tiers. So you are safe from them when staying in low tiers. Aint gonna happen in a fps where you are beeing thrown all skills together in a Death match. Id like to see you complain about skill there.

Dear WG!

 

Ranked. 3 radar cruisers + 1 sonar DD against 0 radar, 0 sonar DD. Is it a well balanced matchmaking? I only ask. Naturally it was a simple lose for us.

Hi all, I'll repost my original question here as my thread had been locked down. 

 

I don’t have a premium account and just grind the ships I think are interesting. 

I don’t play regularly, but instead end up having phases when I play a lot. However, what I find is that the matchmaking and game results get progressively worse the more I play. It gets even worse when I play with a temporary premium account. 
As an example I did getting the German BB line up to Bayern. However, I ended up constantly bottom tier and normally getting annihilated with maybe 20-30k damage.

Yesterday I played my first game in a month or so and decided to bring out the Bayern again.
Boom, nice matchmaking with only tier 6 ships and no CVs. Fantastic game and ended up with over 150k damage and top. 
 

Please tell me that this is coincidence only and not the game trying to ‘entice’ you to come back and play more???

 

 Anybody else experienced similar?

Guess who just uninstalled the game. Good-[edited]-bye. I'm not going to waste another second of my time on this joke of a game, I have better things to do.

Don't be such a drama queen. I bet you'll be back in a few months time,  just like everyone who rage and said they are leaving for good. Lol. All you guys can't keep to your words.

As if you need more than 3 radars...

 

And your enemies would complain about the firepower advantage of your team...

Almost everyone bar a few. Don't expect to get any comfort though. Just try to fool the MM best you can and never play after you start getting slaughtered. It doesn't help at all. The moment I lose these days I stop playing or immediately switch to CV. It has nothing to do with the MM though but with me, if you understand what I'm saying. It is placebo so I can calm down and have a better game. If you lose and go in the next game with yr confidence shot, then if yr SKILL isn't in the upper sixties then you will have another bad game and you will lose. Even your minimum help is needed for a win cuz the MM rarely will do you favors. It will give you some wins here and there but mostly it will be losses and most the times well deserved. If I know something is that the best team will always win and I believe that is fair.

Thanks, glad it's not just me. Appreciate that you have ups and downs.
Just grinding Gneisenau which is an interesting ship. Guns are a bit meh, but it's a tough nut. I am probably less bothered about the result at the moment as long as I am having fun with it. I play it like an underdog ship and that seems to suit it very well, unless I get set alight by the T9 fire spewing cruisers.

Typical "you have to lose", WG balanced matchmaking. :) Simple 0-7, after a winning row of course.

 

3 radars vs. 1.

2 Stalin vs. 0.

3 Typhoon league players vs. 1.

Much better ranked players vs. worse.

But you can blame yourself for that, by not bringing a Radar Cruiser yourself... If you would have been a Radar Cruiser, it would have been 3vs2

To be honest I never thought the matchmaking in this was this crappy. I can't win a game for several days! I lost like 30 games in a row. It's completely illogical. I can't claim first victory because I can't win a SINGLE game! You bet I'm pissed. I remember I had a game with a division of 3 on the enemy team. Two of them had 59% win rate, one had 57%. We didn't have any divisions. The highest guy on our team was like 57% or smth and he was the only one in that range. WTF is this travesty?

So good players arent allowed to play (or have to wait to get matched against others), because the average player is incapble and too lazy to learn 2 play the game? Sounds logical

Two posts had to be hidden. Stay civil please. There's no place for insults.
