its almost like the MM, and wider game designe choices, is based around the idea of a growing number of incoming low tier players, that no longer exists. and now that it doesnt exist, there is a positive feedback loop of failure poisoning players out of lower tiers.

 

playing lower tiers gets players up-tiered 

being uptiered is a painful experience for new players making some quit, and othes rush tiers

more players pushed to t10

t10 MM syphons players from lower tiers to make up numbers

less players at lower tiers

playing lower tiers gets players up-tiered 

 

when late night lows come the class distribution evens out, the mm puts matches together where cv is a quarter of players, because they are a quarter of queued ships.

One have to remember about players on-line numbers at some hours -> at 6 a.m. there were approx 2k people at Eu srv. 

Since WG stoped showing quanity of ppl logged to the server (and number of ppl at the forum ...) you have to use external data sources to check it.

If it happens that I play early in the morning I usually pick up some T2 - Mikasa or Taichibana. No chance to have cv, and random game is almost same as plaing coops due to number of bots...

It is still shown in the game...

 

And yes, when one wants to blame the MM at 6 in the morning on a Sunday, one should first look in the mirror and blame the person one sees there...

And how exactly is that person responsible for getting 2 CVs per side?

Being awake and playing WoWS at 6 am on a Sunday means you deserve all you get. Stop It. Get Some Rest.

Whenever you're awake. When my kids were really young and tended to sleep for about 45 minutes at a time I used to find myself awake at all hours (and unable to go back to sleep myself). So I used to be quite nocturnal and games helped pass the time.  But you don't get quality gameplay at 3am.  :)

Yes - you are right - I can see the current number of players. But as I remember it was shown at the main window in port, now I had to dig for it.

Anyway I find that situations when T8, 9 vs 9 and 2 cvs per side as sick one. You have at least some AA and situation is not as bad as at arround T5, but you start to share feelings about planes with crews of Tirpitz at Trmosø, Musashi at Leyte or Yahagi & Yamato trying to reach Okinawa... .

You play multiplayer games when there is people willing to play with you. If you go play football and you're alone in the field because it's 6.00 AM, you cannot blame football for not being a fun game.

But how fun is a football game where you have more strikers than defenders on your team?

How about WG punishes the (atleast) 4 CVs sitting in queue, making up 22% of the players in that tier range?

Its not the fault of 14 non-CV players, that there are 4 CVs in queue, which are allowed to have fun, while they are not.

 

WG just needs different MM rules for off hours regarding CVs. Let them play against bots ffs, they dont even realize the difference anyway.
