Before the game started, I knew it was a lose. A complete waste of time and no fun. Is there any need to fight? No. It's just a waste of your time and energy. And very, very frustrating. Outcome for cca 80% battles is determined even before they start. The problem is uneven and lost battles like this are very common for some large number of players. On the other hand, selected "community contributors" and Twitch streamers often get very favorable MM. Because nobody would play this game when they see how sh1tty it is. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MM does not care about WR, or damage or any player stats whatsoever. Its only about the tier your boat is. Which is why you get games like this. And funnily enough I have won a few games like that. The supposed "potatoes" end up galvanising behind one or two good players, and force the enemies hand eventually winning out the battle. What you should realise is; Those "potatoes" are itching to get a win, and can be used to turn the tide with some smart leadership and a wee bit of teamwork. Maybe think on that next time and dont be so dismissive at the start. You might end up surprising yourself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had many fights like this, and we actually still have a chance to win, but what we need is time. You can't turn things around in just 5 minutes.I really want my noob teammates to turn their asssss towards the enemy so they won't die so quickly. And I have more time to cause damage.

[NWP] Saltface Players 2,062 posts 18,464 battles Report post #14 Posted March 1, 2022 I run MMM when I play. Call me toxic if you want. I don't give a sh1t. My observations are the following: MM is random. You get (over a significant amount of battles - duhhh this is how statistics work) an equal amount of battles that all the good players are on your team and an equal amount of battles that all the good players are on the red team. Most battles are more or less equal (1 to 2 % dif on average winrates but this has absolutely no significance. Taking average winrates into account just shows you don't know the game or statistics). What is sad is that most of the players in the game are in the red. (Most of the time) We are only one or two players with green or blue (let alone purple) on each team. I have played many battles that my team should have lost (according to MMM) but we won. And many battles that we should have won but we lost. However, I saw no-one complain on the forum if their team is supergood and the red team is superbad, they take the win and the XP and go in the achievements thread and post the results. Glory ! The following are what I consider to be true statements: 1. MM is not rigged. It is random and what you observe is proof that it is random. (streaks, imbalances etc.) 2. Players (most of them) do not know how to play the game. 3. Players that use MMM (most of them) do not know how to read a table with statistics. Result: they pick one that has lots of blue and purple on the other side and come to the forum to post the one millionth thread of "Bad MM - Rigged - Outrage" Reality check: If you do not know how to read a statistics table or how to play the game uninstall MMM. It does not help you. If you end up in a bad team, do your best and enjoy the game. You might lose. So what? If you want to be able to have a bit better odds play in division. This way you can make sure that at least 3 players on your team will be good. In this case you carry and have no right to complain. Regards Salt 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
