Was renting out ships in ranked that good of an idea?

Wargaming, i appreciate your will to intergrate larger parts of the player base into ranked. but if u decide to hold ranked at tier X, the players that are willing to play ranked should have earned a TX ship and not be given one. That leads to a lot of players who never have had a montana etc before, playing them in competetive without any experience or knowledge about their weakspots, angling and handling. in my opinion is is not the purpose of ranked competetive.

Not really, especially when players like me who havent even reached tier 10 yet, will have no way of testing them in co-op first too see how they sort of function.

Short Answer - No.

 

Long Answer - Noooooo.

 

Flippancy aside, the costings of fitting out a T10 rental are beyond many players - so I'd bet a fair few of these are totally stock. Add to this the inability to run camouflage - so again another disadvantage. The playstyle at T10 differs quite a bit from T8 - Ranked takes this further still. This is compounded further by the small team sizes - so it only takes 1 or 2 underequipped stock rentals driven by people who haven't played them before to have a major impact. 

 

2019 isn't shaping up to be a resounding success when it comes to WG having bright ideas....

WG have had some dumb ideas in the past but renting tier X ships in Ranked  is the worst one yet.

....how could you NOT perceive this ranked to be full of people who don't know how their ships work , have no idea of strengths or weakness or how to play at tier X full stop. What on Earth possessed you to do this WG.?

What were you thinking.....!!!!??

oh my really.... just as most hypocrits in here wouldn't complain a lot more if we not would have rentals in ranked and they'd get roflstomped each match by enemy cv... (wasnt there quite some complaints b4 seasonstart bout cv's allowed?!....)

 

indeed it's a pretty brilliant win/win/win move from weegee!

1. give entrypoint for players without t10's --> more players in ranked

2. bait em this way so they might buy up

3. flood ranked with rentals so cv's become unicorns/barely seen ever in the mass of matches with rental ships.

4. cv's can play ranked and no one cares, coz no one ever runs into em allday....

 

...just why are most screenshots joking bout rentals are without cv participation?! does anyone in here really think we would be better off with cv's in every single match?!

I dislike how they cannot wear camo.....especially a problem for DD i suppose but it hurts all of them.  And you have to perform above average ( 80+K or even 100+K damage  ) to break even credit wise.

 

I did not see the 2 times i used one if this is due to "renting" the thing or just standard T10 service costs. Which then are extreme to me, my 2 Tier X CV have yet to give me less then 200+k credits ( only 30k remain after costs, but it is stull a plus ) yet, and they are tech tree too.

Go to PTS to test it not in ranked. So annoying to have such team , especially DDs with camo and modules.

I don’t get cv every ranked battle. 1 battle out of 4. But those rentals are playing like in randoms, they go solo or behind islands for no reason. Or take a DD and rush on cap too fast that no one can support them.

...................................................

and why u don't get cv every battle?!?!?!.............................. could be related in any way to the fact that more players are in ranked thx to rentals, while no rental cv's are given out?!

 

so, rentals = more surface ships while cv number stays stagnant = less matches with a cv in?!?!?!?!

What an idiotic suggestion. So i should have to download several more GB's just to go into another server just to test out some ships?

 

Yeah, no they can learn to code their games properly and offer choices.

No mate. I see people having their own T10 but they take rental. Bloody hell. Why? “Because I wanna test it”....... ffs this is not a PTS.

as for me yesterday i found it pretty easy to farm em up on a monti..... while not having much probs with the few cv's i ran into, i'd take noobs over a broken class anyday!

 

a pro in a rental, or even noob, for sure is less harming to  a match than a pro slingshot cv!

That’s what I was doing not having T10s and I wanted to test them. Ranked is not for testing . It’s not a “fun mode” .

maybe for you.

The problem is one team gets more of those noobs. You don’t wanna be in such team cause this means you can go back to port , waste of time.

Well seems you didn’t have much of them in your team, wish you get 5 of them and I wanna see you making a win by your own. Cause 80% of them aren’t helpful at all.
