Until & when WoWS rolls back all their alterations since & including the CV rework, my wallet :cap_money: will remain closed :etc_red_button: *.

* except for a dedicated clan flag slot :cap_like:  - I'd spend for 'that' (hint, hint)

What the f**k is even "elite" matchmaking?

Ban everyone lower than X% wr? Nice, now someone else will fill that void and have that winrate. Oh ban that person too? Nice, now someone else will fill that void and have that winrate.... see where this is going?

Besides, will this divide the already overstretched playerbase even more between those who pay for premium matchmaking and those who do not? Inb4 epic queue times yo.

better matchmaking depending on your winrate on the selected ship

Better in what way? "Better" is really generic and subjective.

Im not gonna pay WG for making a working MM, that should be in the free game, and I have zero confidence they even could make that because then why not implement it?

 

Pay for a CV free MM? Thats another story. But that will never happen because money loss for WeeGee.

I would pay for a MM that makes steamrolls less common, possibly by keeping the average winrate of the two teams within a certain interval.

 

Then again, some steamrolls are going to happen anyway: unavoidable randomness + Lanchester's square law, or something like that...

 

With fewer steamrolls, games would last longer and generally be more profitable, as least for a decent player like myself. Sure, they would also take longer, so maybe at low-mid tiers they would turn out to be *less* profitable per unit of time, but not at high tiers, I think.

In a way, it would be a bit like premium time, except it would feel earned, not an artificial bonus.

So paying to get weaker players on your team, when you are good?

I'd quit on the spot, as then the game truly has gone pay to win.

This. It is pretty clear what the OP is hinting at. I shouldn't even have bothered to check his stats.

Well, you buy a loot box and have 3% chance to receive an uber haxor cammo, that enables you - 3 tier matchmaking, so you can take your Georgia, and end up in a match against Fuso.

 

I am sure this would be greatly appreciated by the player base and could be advertises as a unique player experience. 

 

PS. Hmmm, maybe Georgia vs. Fuso is not motivating enough, something like Kitakaze vs Bayern, or Alaska vs Pepsicola sounds even better!

 

I fully support this idea and hope they introduce it in paralel with the new set of rigged santa containers.

The poll results are probably way off here (5% saying yes).
I think most people interpret this answer as "do you want it in the game" (clear majority no), but I have no doubt that if this was implemented, a lot more people would buy it.

dont give them any f*cking ideas

split the MM between below and above 51% and all is good but f*ck no I aint paying for that, WG created this crappy meta and incentivized players skipping tiers and rush to T10 without knowing how the f*cking game works so now its their turn to alleviate that problem
