Horror MM and predictable outcome

What an, imo, stupid observation. A Draw indicates that both sides played very well, so well &/or so evenly that the battle was a draw. We both know, Pete, draws were more common earlier in WoWS. Unlike the many 'roflstomps' we see in these more recent years. A draw (extremely rare now) or a close battle (rare now, no matter how you define 'close') are now exceptions to the many majority joke results that masquerade as decent battles (now). 

One does not need to play well for a draw...

And it looks like you forgot all the complaints about draws back in the day. Players want a deciding outcome, not a draw.

I must agree, a draw is a good game, both teams played well and evenly matched MM wise.

 

The current MM is shameful

or equally bad, or equally passive.

Nothing in a draw indicates the quality of the game played.

rare then and rare now

This is 4 years - less than 1 in a thousand battles. The only word that describes it properly is "insignificant".

I only had ONE good game out of 3500 games played over the last 3 years.

 

Don't even remember how that happened.

Well, I also meet a 4 CV 6 Sub game as well!  Not sure about the subs really, as one of the 2 CVs I think had a MM monitor and decided to play with me until I was dead.... did keep them busy and buy time for my team but 1200 exp for 40 aircraft (and did damage to ships) doesn't feel that rewarding....

After years of MM:

 

Anything between 1-2% avg WR in a game means it can go either way. 

 

Anything between 2-4% makes the quality of your good players on your side detrimental to winning. All the good players have to up their game even more to swing it. You pray that your bad players stay alive just long enough for the good players to play their heart out, cap and kill things quicker than your bad players die. The quality of your CV is also a big factor in winning games like this. Also in my experience, it's normally the good players having a great game more than the bad players doing well.

 

Anything between 5-8% makes it near close to impossible to win. Things have to go seriously wrong for the enemy team for you to win. Games where 1 or 2 random unicums in your team still won't be able to do much. Your team will simply die quicker than they can kill things.  I can only remember one game where we won with a 6+% enemy team and our div had to kill 10 ships to do it with the enemy DD hitting a random torp and dying. Not including a detonation on an enemy unicum cruiser within the first set of salvos. 

 

IMHO and with 7 going on 8 years experience with this game, games are normally in the second category.. Either in your favour or not. Balanced games are in the minority.

This is the shitshow WG are dishing up.

 

This happens on a regular basis, i see very often players complaining for this exact reason, something is very wrong with this game, its not natural, anything but

You could say the same thing about the players this game now attracts too. 

 

That game was defo in the 2nd or 3rd category, prob the 3rd. You even had Sam from BATES who I know, not a bad player.

I agree that Belgium has a lot of good beers, but Duvel really isn't one of them; not very tasty with a high alcohol percentage for people to get drunk faster.

 

Orval, Chimay Bleu, Rochefort 10, Westmalle triple, Duchesse, Cuvée des Trolls, St. Feuillien, Cuvée de Château, LaChouffe, all the Geuzes ... too many to name that (imo) outclass Duvel by miles.
