IN ALL THIS BATTLE DIED FIRST MY SO CALLED SUBTEAMATE.

Looks like someone is a "beginnerr" and should not play Ranked.

If you wonder how to deactive capital letters: Capslock key.

Bruv judging by stats, in all of those battles your performance was below average at best. While I wouldn't argue that losing a ship puts your team at a disadvantage, it doesn't meant that you're doomed to lose from that point on. Plus I'd advise you to pick better ships for ranked, save for Shokaku you were playing on sub-optimal ships.

[Yosha_AtaIante]

You tried your best I guess

Writing all caps with a questionable orthography and calling other players "[edited]"... ok, if you had the stats to back it up - harsh, but ok. But you? Nah man, you're also liability to your team, stop whining when someone else lost harder than you could.

 

Edit: Seems like the forum has a hiccup with the images again...

Ya those sorts of lose-chains are enough to stop a player from bothering really. 

 

Of course what we don't see from that screenshot is how close or one-sided some of those battles were.

 

Usually a decent contribution of damage dealing, spotting, kills and a constant pressure placed on an enemy team throughout the entire battle is enough to tilt a few of those closer results to fall on the winning side rather than the losing but that's easier said than done and of course, sometimes you can just get a run of absolute donkey teams where even a massive personal contribution from start to finish is still a very one sided loss.

 

I guess if a player isn't very strong, then they're pretty much a passenger in the their ranked battles journey and at the mercy of whatever team the MM regurgitates their way. Only the very best players fully exploiting a very OP ship to it's full has the ability to generate a nice healthy wall of wins regardless of donkeys and dither fish for teammates. 

[Hirohito]

Maybe you should just stick to Bronze, which was designed with below average players in mind.

[tocqueville8]

Your only Tier 8 Ranked options are Cherbourg, Shokaku and GJ Maerker? That sounds awful 

 

I mean...Shokaku should be fine, but why not try your Pobeda? And maybe Hawke instead of Cherbourg?

I rather liked ranked Cherbourg a few seasons ago (and got 56%Wr grinding it out), but agree I would never pick GJ Maerker.....

But do you consider cherbourg an impactship for ranked? Wouldn'd be my choise for being forced to carry when having an unlucky Team. 

[Arkaeon]

Now I see the Cherbourg that screw up my ranked games last night.. 

[BrettMRC]

Not even I am that bad!

[bobtherterrible]

The real question here is how on earth did you get out of Bronze?

Bad players should just stay away from the most impactful classes aka CV and DD. But when you bring a crap DD ontop of it, what good should come out of it? Either pick a good BB or a radar Cruiser, not a crap Cruiser thats needs time to have an impact. As a radar Cruiser you can try to trade against an enemy DD, which is a good trade if you are a bad player.

This is assuming that they even know what radar is, and hit a DD with it, while living long enough that said DD also dies, which is a lot of if's.

My experience is that if you're crap, you're likely gonna get blown up 9/10 times attempting to get close.

Which is why I vastly prefer backline sniper potatoes to the potatoes that go in deep, because they are still 15% useful from the backline and most importantly not dead, but usually dead after 3 minutes when going to the front.

 

[SnuSnu_RIP]

I would definitely try other ships. I mean who is playing a T8 cruiser with 28 seconds of reload in ranked? Why not playing a cruiser with radar? Or a T8 DD like Lightning? If you don't have them, then start grinding them. Way better ships for ranked.

Nah. Gunboat Asashio, it is!

Better not play ranked at all in that case

As a good player, suicidal idiots are the worst. With that i mean people who suicide into me aswell and i still lose health due to that. Especially in a DD it could make a difference in the end. Once had an Alaska do that, and even tho i had help, it took quite a while for him to die.

U guys are all assholes. Let the guy blow off some steam, jesus you elitist [edited].

Ranked is just an endless grind. Good players rank out sooner, but it is even possible for AFK players to rank out in the current system. 

 

Only made out Bronze once over 400 ranked games myself. All depends on how much  time you are willing to spend.

Take comfort in that you'll never be worse than this:

Yoshino

Japan

299

41.14%

447

44 911

0.37

1.52

I seen much worse in Operetions!!

Yea but there you're not in gold trolling a bunch of tryhards lol in a Yoshino. 

 

Cherbourgh is a great ship to play, ignore the nay sayers. But you need to take the flank and you need to learn to kite with it. You dont have to hit anything as long as the enemy never hits you. Since you're faster than a DD and more manouverable than some, dodging 15 km ranges isn't that hard. But you gotta fail many times before you get the hang of it.

 

You can even bait people at mid. Pick that skill that tells you how many are aiming/shooting at you if you're new. Turn when they shoot.

Working as intended, dude. Don't even think that the MM is "random" (frustration is a good way to sell premium ships)
