What is going on with the mismatchmaker lately?

[nerderklaus]

Well, I am fully aware that the mismatchmaker was not good since the day when it made matches with one team having two more ships. In this year however it started worse than ever before and got even worse. It feels like I get punished for having a winrate higher than designated to my account. Meanwhile certain other people can do nothing and never get a recent WR worse than 45% so that they have an average of 46%.

 

The last session quite literally was 6 losses within 5-7 minutes. Then I had one game that was rigged MM as well, but fortunetely the match was almost exclusively tier 10 and with tier 10 mains being the way they are none of them knew about caps and I finally got a victory. Still all my teams died quickly to players who were as bad as these opponents and I can't imagine any high tier game that was decided by someone playing well. It allways was about which team had more duds. Granted, it is getting harder to carry with all the changes pro camping, but the game still shouldn't be as Russian Roulette as it is now. Most of the tier 10 mains must have braindamage from veganism or something equally toxic, the common ways of intoxication don't explain things going bad to that level.

 

Some stuff I can't even explain, f.e. the team remaining behind a cap, but dieing almost as fast as an intentional suicider. The only possibility is that they showed 90° broadside to multiple people with super-RNG, the ones who get accuracy like LU Moskwa on every BB.

 

There are like so many flaws in this system. There even were people who made Malta useless, the ship that is considered the most foolproof ship in the game. That being even was proud of failing that ship, probably because of one of these severe mental health issues that far-left lunatics have. How can people like this be allowed to play tier 10 ships and superships which potencially ruins the match for someone who was unlucky to be teamed up with these beings? The highest normal tier and the superships shouldn't be the most extreme collection of griefers or people with similar impact on their team, because that potencially makes countless matches for players of tier 8 and higher unplayable.

 

Just look how my trush survey about submarines offended some people...

To be a 46% doesn't mean to have one bad day. For them is a norm, they have "occasionally" a 55% day (sometimes I'm also having 85% WR day) 

Those people are bad beyond bad MM and you can't blame MM for people having such WR.

It obviously pushes some people up and drags some people down. Solo winrates would have a wider spread, if everybody would have the same opportunities. There are definetely people who deserve winrates below 10%, but for "reaons" it seems as if they can't get less than 40% winrate.

 

In my case it allways was that there was a severe wave of punishment when I got to around 54.75% winrate. Which obviously looks as if I got over the upper control limit and the system reacts. This happens a couple of times per year, because I usually reduce my activity when that BS is up. I wonder how bad it would be, if I reached my upper limit. Meanwhile it looks like some other players would get 55.0%, even when being AFK all the time.

 

"Playing less" doesn't mean a whole lot since people play less, because of a certain new class and a certain new tier which both bring a lot of bad things to the game, but not a single good thing.

I sometimes have the same thoughts as you nederklaus. Everything is unfair and rigged.

 

But after I have calmed down a bit I can convince myself that many of these strange occurences are just random stuff. I often win five games in a row or lose five.

 

As a 50% player my influence is limited. I see stupid mistakes all the time and make stupid mistakes myself too.

 

Yesterday I was killed in my Salmon trying to dodge a Shimanto torp. salvo. (Salmon winrate atm 57%.)

Open sea, won flank, perfect weather, torpedoes long spotted, I could dive easily, well played so far, no pressure at all........ I perfectly picked up one torp and lost my 100% health Salmon in a devstrike.

 

Even I am random. Pray that I do not play my <38% winrate Minotaur in your match.

You can check the leaderboard on wows numbers, there's over 1000 accounts below 40%. 

[MadBadDave]

I’ve given up trying to understand WG’s logic mainly because there isn’t any, take the new paper ships coming out what about all the famous real ships: Laffy, Sheffield ,etc,etc. 

 

I no longer play after a defeat in the hope that the next game will actually be better, I just exit the game as a result I play one or 2 games a day,  following Xmas I had a load of steam vouchers ; WG’s loss.   
 

WG are killing there own game and yes we tell them but as per they don’t give a toss.

No they shouldnt. They are 1 out 12 people. Even if they go AFK they will end up between 30-40% depending what class they pick. The other reason is, that most players are just bad. So they are basically helping each other from going too low, because its likely to have many bad players on both teams. They are just filling material so to speak. If a game would be filled with bad players, its just a coin toss on who will win.

We all have the same MM. When you face a trend of sinking WR over many matches (500+), it is not the MM.

 

@nerderklaus

Your WR is stable. You even seem on an upward trend the past two years.

[Hogger4169]

Matchmaker works in RANDOM pattern, Skill based matchmaker is forbidden so pray for RNGesus.

Sometimes you get a winning steak, feels goooooood and sometimes you are on a losing streak.

Since all of these are random when you facing a losing streak, log off, go for a walk to clear your mind and then log on again.......

 

You can't fight randomness.........

As Sera pointed out, they didn't update MM in years. Yet they added the most m*r*nic bull in those years. WG doesn't see a problem and that should explain all.

Which is not true.

The last update of the MM was in 0.11.7 and before that in 0.11.5.

So you say Sera is lying?

I have no idea what he wrote and what you understood.

Some small tweaks but nothing major. New ships by the dozens and new classes added.

See, he did not write that the MM was not updated for years.

For sure MM is not perfect, but if you made it work in such a way as to have a mirror image of opposing teams through skill levels and ship types/radar etc, we could be waiting far longer to get into games.

Who is asking for mirror MM? The core of MM is broken, it can't cope with all the new bullships and ditto gimmicks and WG can't comprehent the problem.

Sorry I spoke.

What "creativity"?

His answer is correct.

So the game does not make matches for you?

[Ruth_clifton]

NO

Sure it is, it's airtight. That's what he is paid for. Doesn't mean it's usefull or clarifying.
