Way to go Wedgie, frakkin up ranked.....

[Andrewbassg]

Way to go Wedgie , way to go. So not only the team line up was reduced for whatever braindead reason, but also CV's are included, which even in 7v7 was deemed retarded. The maps are the same, the tiers are the same...... just way to go to frakk up the only remaining refugee from the newly introduced abominations.

 

You truly hate your playerbase no joke.....conducting all sorts of social experiments on them....

Also made it easier to fail up to 'golden league', which allows potatoes to think they are great players and come to the forum to spam topics self congratulating themselves...

Ofc it was. But not just ranked. The whole shebang. But Wedgie, true to his reputation as being inept, keeps delivering. I mean at this point it is clear that they hate us, with frakkin passion.

Why? Don't you profit from that?

Oh no. In 7v7 one could turn around things with 3 ships down. Ranked now is just what Brawls should have been. I mean other than usually being quickly over, there is no other benefit.

Brawl is a fun a sh#tshow. Dis ain't.

 

Also, you have to remember that, I'm convinced that MM is being actively manipulated, even if lightly.

I was referring to being able to be carried to gold easily.

Sorry - do you have ambitions to reach gold league? If yes, the new rules are in your favour, so why would you "get started" about that? I don't understand.

So you don't mind staying in bronze? That's actually a commendable mindset to know ones limit. We just had a guru here, enlightning us with wisdoms on how 45% winrate players not only deserve to play in gold ranked but are actually better at it than... well.. better players, for a lack of words.

 

On the other hand, everyone on his way to gold has to pass by bronze and carry you, wether you want it or not. It's not like players get selected based on their skills for the different leagues to play with and against their peers.

But - maybe that would be a solution for the dilemma with the bad players who accidentally made it to gold ranked?

Fewer ships usually means your own influence on the outcome of the battle is bigger. I assume this change is not liked by bad players ? (because why would you not enjoy having a bigger influence on the outcome ?)

That's actually a very good point. Still the conclusions are all wrong, because teams still have to split up, ergo the influence is localized. But it is true that a loss of a ship will have a much more deterministic effect on the outcome. Not to mention two. And also the influnece of the inbread class in this line up actually grows.

I know that this  is probably the official explanation, nevertheless it is completely retarded and quite false.

Localized influence is still influence; win your flank and go support others, or stall long enough to receive support.

Even if the other flank gets rolled over, it's still less enemy ships to deal with than in a bigger format.

If you can carry your own weight, I don't see why this smaller format should be an issue (compared to a bigger format).

Yeah sure .....

 

 

 

....tell that to the poor Musa . He is a 61% WR player.

If you think that I cherrypicked....

just look at the timestamp.

Yes I'm sure about my statement; I'm not sure what you are trying to prove though. Congratulations on winning, I guess ?

Me? Absolutely nothing. I'm pointing out the shortcomings of this ....."ranked"  season with reasons and facts. Specifically just how retarded is the implementation. Whether it is intentional or not... that is debatable

 

Congrats for what? Being lucky?

I still fail to see the shortcomings of smaller teams.

 

If you mean the roflstomps, those happened plenty in 7v7 as well.

And I'm pointing out the flaws of the current season. Which includes everything, from saving a star to the inclusion of Cv's.

 

But... let me give you a concrete example  An Agir is forced  to cap alone coz the others went for the other cap  Cv spots him and the whole red team is shooting at him preventing him to cap and he is melted in the process. There is nothing he could do to prevent this. What he did wrong? Is this good game design or an exercise in retardness?

What the Ägir did wrong ? Trying to cap alone in a battle with a CV, in an Ägir.

The team failed at teamwork and the individual failed at correctly estimating his survival chance going alone for a cap.

Ok, let's talk plain then. At 45% at tier 10 shouldn't be anywhere but the bronze league. (Edit: This is my opinion. WGs may differ) Anywhere else you are is due to being carried along by the team and yet you complain about it.

 

Don't get me wrong, yes CVs are annoying, but at least it's not tier 10cvs where you meet a chain of Nakhimov and FDR on a tiny map, only interrupted by that german one who specializes in killing nakhimovs. Fun, really. So while I would rather play tier 10 ranked, I really don't see this as broken as the last season where I actively left the waiting queue when there were two CVs in it.
