Still the number 1 issue in the game

[Camperdown]

Lousy player skills.

Played 2 games so far, both stomps. I will not even begin to describe the idiocy. 

As long as WG does not give a flying  for game quality, this game will continue to founder. 

Too bad.

Let me quote one of my friends. 

 

"Why should I learn anything about this game if everything is random anyways."

 

I wanted to explain it to him, the problem I don't have much arguments to disprove him.

Easy. If everything is random, he can try to play the game blindfolded while hearing loud music and still get the same results as before. If he does not get the same results that way, then the game is not that random.

If you look at the performance of some players they probably trying this.

Nope. Not nearly there.

What is this? 2018?

Is this actually a weekend warrior complaint topic?

Perhaps WG will soon have 'Skill Bundles' available in the Premium Shop.

There are always going to be awful matches. There will also be great matches.

Any of these sound familiar;

You set yourself, check the other ships with you on your flank, start to push and notice 4 of your team are dead & the other flank has collapsed.

You're trying to fight carefully but all your teams DDs are rushing to cap zones rather than spotting and enemy ships keep disappearing before you can hurt them.

Enemy DDs are keeping you detected for incoming fire & occasionally a spread of torpedoes makes your life a misery. Your DDs, instead of hunting their DDs, are hiding behind an island 10k behind the front line.

 

When this happens don't rage. Don't cry. Reload & you'll get the match where the other side has this problem. 

 

Maybe 1 battle in 3 or 4 is a great match. Play for those. Remember those. Discuss those. Don't waste energy worrying about the others.

MM would most likely do a better job if it was 100% random

Lol, pretty sure more than a few would improve.

Half term

It would probably be discontinued due to "bellow average sales".

Try it out. Please tell us how many hundred battles you needed to land your first main battery hit.

Haven’t I been saying that for a while; WGs inept management of noobs and greed to push out high tier premiums to those who couldn’t skipper an island.   The skills rework also didn’t help,   
 

Whist I agree that skill levels and the ability of a lot of idiots kill any enjoyment and our Win Rates for me the biggest issue is the MM,  for example all those with less than 1000 games should be in one queue and the rest of us in another one, it’s also unfair that a T8 BB, say monarch faces a Petro, fdr, Shiki, Kremlin, etc,etc,etc. lightning 5.5km detection and 8km torps vs Petro with 12km radar, that’s very balanced.   
 

We all know WG will do sweet FA about the playerbase because there’s no money in it,  what about the departing players (those that spend money, care and who’ve played for years).

Which queue do you think would take longer?....

both stomps

I played yesterday on NA server where I have a respectable 51% WR & I saw seven (that's 7!) roflstomp losses in a row. Total bull crap. Not one of these farces was even close.

Then I see a W which ended as a close battle (ofc) & we won by a time out (I sank 4 on that one).  7 Ls to 1 W. This just goes to show how blatantly BAD the garbage MM actually is.

It certainly isn't 'random' - never was & never will be.

Wedgie says the battle queue is 'random' - that may be ...

However, how Wedgie determines who goes onto each side of the battle queue is not (although we will never be able to prove this as Wedgie hides it's battle queue coding under the excuse of a 'patent').

I saw 7 roflstomp losses in a row on NA server & every one of those battles were complete jokes of a random MM.

Then I saw a close W via a timed out battle (& I did my part on every battle so it wasn't 'git gud' as so many 'Turds' here like to barf out).

Hence, I 100% agree with the post topic by Camperdown.

We have a thread for that...

Maybe you should read it.

I sometimes put on my fancy tinfoil hat.

 

(Yes, it's made of those colored foils. It's special!)

 

During those moments I brainstorm all sorts of things. One of them is that the 'random' MM also serves the function of producing predetermined battle results. How else can you explain those complete, total, inexplicably unavoidable battles where you get steamrolled flat. That is, of course, if you could have steamrolls on water.... that part I still haven't completely worked out...

100% correct, Karas_Hidesuke, +1.  Very accurate response.

• he talks about player skill, not MM
• and I am agreeing with him that many players have lousy skills...

Says someone with less than 1000 games, invested much time and money in the game ? come back in 2 years time and repeat the above comment,  I spent ages going from sub 50% wr to over 50% and although average at best I’ve continued to improve and am a much better player than when I’d play 700 games.    The standard of the player base has definitely slipped even more over the last year,   Rofl stomps are a regular occurrence and carrying is seen less, now games are over within 5 mins.

[Takethatyoubeast]

Agreed

 

More stomps now than before 

 

Still some good games and good players 

 

Play it as a free to play game like I do now and it’s quite fun

WoWs is a totally accurate simulation of modern military.....

Expect everyone to be a 'Butterbar' or worse and you'll have fun.

Especially at weekends and during school holidays; oh look it's the end of half-term holiday in the UK.......
