i never say that it wasn't a correct or according to the rules, MM  ... That's the rules and we play according to the rules 100% 

I just point something a lot of players complain about.
WG can listen to the community or not. As i read 5years now ... they do it in some situations ... that's the reason i post. 

 

If i was a "little" offensive was because i got accused for playing tricks.

Thank you for your time and for the chat ... doesn't matter if we agree or disagree on this mater. If its a fair game we are on the same side !

I feel Sorry for your attitude. 

You call others out for "attitude" while down-voting every opinion which doesn´t fit yours.

Which so far happens to be almost every single answer.

 

You tried to out-trick MM, it failed and you had to fight higher opponents.

MM is purposely busted but its rules are known.

But it is a difference.

 

The difference seems to be that now every T4 game is a 2 CV game, at least on NA server. Something like 9 out or 10 games I played in T4 Kuma was a double CV game. Even on 9 per team squads. 

 

Which means that unless you A-line, you are pretty much consistently spotted. Sneaking up on opponents, almost impossible. If the two CV drivers decide to co-operate you are gone in a 4 strike cross drop. Just about every flight is able to get at least two strikes in, unless you decide to blob. If you are an uptiered T3, ALL strikes are guaranteed to come in. And at least half of the CV drivers are patently seal clubbers.

And before it were also two CV games with frequent three CV games thrown in...

Besides fail divisions, I think it's obvious for everybody that the "less than ten minutes battles" increased a lot lately. Call it, per example, "new players that can grind a line too fast" or "new players that can buy a tier IX-X too fast", but there is a real problem right now that makes the game less enjoyable. I still think that a WR or PR biased MM would work well, as the differences between players inside the 4-5 categories (not the same a 56% WR than a 60%, or a 50% than a 54%) would be sufficient to separate better players and would introduce more balance to the disastrous MM we have right now.

Not really. This was claimed also last year and statistical data did not show such a thing.

I've seen noone for years, not in WOT not in WoWs, to complain about, 

How fail divisions matched according to the higher tier part in that division.. 

 

Sorry mate, you are the first.. 

and sadly, I have to read almost every post been made around here..

How about you make a thread with a poll asking, what people think about faildivision MM.

See where it goes from there?

2 many WG "friends" against a player that said his opinion and received a humps down ! 
All of that because i said MM is BAD either division or single game, while adding 6 screenshots of 6 games ... in winch i was always the low tier ... 
You accuse me for fail division ... how about that ... So we have to feel sorry that 2 friends of mine with tier 7 and me with tier 8, trying to upgrade ship series.

I said my opinion and i receive bullying ... so, there goes my relationship with forum. See ya in 5 years :cap_look:

Well, I think this is the first time I post here. English isnt my mother language so, firstly of all, sorry if there are sentences that arent understandable.

 

Since WG do their magic for fixing the unfamous tier 8 MM (that one that all complain, I included, because many times you ended up in battles against T9 and T10 ships) the tier 6 and especially the tier 7 battles are less than enjoyable. Because in Tier 7 you have to face ships like Iowa, Jean Beart, Sov. Soyuz and Musashi. Not to mention to Alaskas and friends. With this situation, and if you have the bad luck (in many cases it will be) to have the potatoe team in your side, the battle is lost since the beggining and get blessed if RNG-sama at least let you to hit your shoots and you dont get all overpens or pens without damage. Is very frustrating this situation and constantly repeats in every battle I play.

 

Yeah, you can check my numbers. Im just a less than normal player with a 50%WR and a poor PR. Dont know if the PR have something to do with the pairing with the MM, but in the beggining I certainly was a terrible player. I started to play with Japanese BBs because Yamato, and you can check that because the stats I have with them. I played up ocasionally but ended up to play as daily I can. I was stacked in a long time in a WR of 44% and ended up to got the 50% I have today. Sure, my numbers could be better, but I learn slow.

I definitely do NOT feel sorry for you.

 

How hard is it to just select a Tier VII ship to play with your friends?

But your egoism is stronger than your reason and so you mess up and complain, because you do not feel responsible for your choice. :Smile_facepalm:

I said my opinion and i receive bullying

 

Its not bullying, its not accusing. Among the community a division with different tier ships is simply called a "fail division". Thats not something, what we made up just now and only for you, the term is around as long as the game exists.

 

And yes, if you do such a division, you have to suffer the negative consequences. We tried to explain to you with arguments and examples, why it HAS to be this way. Else it would be an easy way to abuse the matchmaking. I would fail division then all the time. Already now, there are some tricks around, which are questionable. Like you want to be save from a T10 CV? perfect, division with a T8 CV. And to make it clear once again: if the Matchmaker would protect a fail division from seeing +3 tier ships, then Ill do the following: take a T7 ship and 2 T8 ships - now the T8 ships are 100 % safe from T10 matchmaking, because you think, its wrong that matchmaker gives the T7 ships a +3 matchmaking. it can never ever work like that, it opens pandoras box for abusing !!

Thats is true. The changes to the matchmaker turned T7 from the most enjoyable tier to now pretty much the worst. The recent IFHE change, which hit T7 ships the most, doesnt help at all. I sent Helena with a farewell game one day before the patch to the eternal port.

All of them R1, while most of us dont care about playing ranked in the first place.

R1 or no/low ranks doesnt tell you anything about skill.

Take a look at first place. Had you played like that, maybe it would have gone better.

I see a yueyang that performed quite well, do more like him and you might win more. Your performance in every game you've shown so far has been either average or below average.
