I get reported a bit and people start expressing some annoyance with the matches they get. Maybe preferencial MM would be a better choice. I don't see how people can be toxic about the opponent they get matched against. It's not the opponents choice to be in that battle, so if people dump their frustration on other players, they do it over what they deem a design flaw of the game mode.

 

Also the skill-based MM is a double-edged sword. While the battles are more interesting, getting 51 wins is a lot to do, if you play against equally skilled opponents. So you got to do it around 100 times, which becomes quite repetitive. I have been eagerly awaiting the return of the 1v1. But I don't want to do it 100 times within a week, it gets boring. I know a game mode needs a full waiting queue. But waiting 10-30s for a match would not be too much, if the game mode lasted longer and was not packed into one week, especially when there is a parallel Ranked Season and Clan Battles on top of that.

 

In short: I liked the old Ranked 1v1 better. It took about half the amount of battles, cause you got more less-skilled-opponents. It added a bit to the challenge to not know if you would get an easy opponent or maybe even one way better. You got more variety in ship types and tactics, since differently skilled-players try different approaches. People seemed a bit more open and courteous.

I will never agree to that its going to be fun or in any way satisfying "learning experience" to play against a CV in 1 vs 1. Being surface ship against another at disadvantage can be fun and useful to test your skills that I agree with 100%

 

That sounds like a vicious circle to me. You don't enjoy practicing countering CVs. As a consequence your counterplay is stuck at a level that makes CV-encounters unenjoyable. It's like a BB player says "I don't like WASDing, I just want DDs removed".

I am not the best player out there, but I know when I have given my all to "counter play" I did played matches against CV with no chance of winning so I just gave up on those. Its no fun to play when you know there is no chance -> I ended up not doing anything and killing time by doing something else while I waited the CV player finished the match... happy happy joy joy

Firstly, I can say for certain, I will never play Brawls again, unless there is a class restriction in place. E.g. BBvsBB, DDvsDD etc. 

 

It's so frustrating when you line up in a BB, only to see either Le Terrible or Le Fantasque on the other 'team'. All they need to do is yolo and it's 'gg'. Unless they seriously misplay, it's a guaranteed win for them.  

 

Secondly, CV's have no place in this game mode. What's the point in calling it 'Brawl', if all CV's do is camp behind an island, constantly spamming players with planes. 

 

Personally, I would like to see these changes.

They are in business of making us miserable because they feed on our misery playing this game.  They have no idea how to improve the gameplay. Many maps only encourage non combat. Ships with torpedoes only sit and wait the enemy to torp them.  CVs camp on the edge of the map and there is nothing to do against them. Another awfull experience branded Wargaming.
