What I learned from playing Ranked Games Season 4

[SkybuckFlying]

Hello,

 

Golly Golly Roger ! I can post again ! HIHI Didn't mess it one bit !

 

Anyway I promised you I would let you know what I learned from playing ranked games/battles season 4:

 

Besides from learning to play certain ships better I also learned a little bit of psychology which is important and which I definetly would like to share with you:

 

1. Concentrate

2. Relax

3. And most importantly don't trash talk to your teammates becauses this can take away their confidence, hurt their performance and could disrupt their concentration.

 

Only if the team sucked really bad, and you f\ought really hard may you say: "uninstall game !" LOL.

 

I think this game would be better/more fair if dead players can't chat.

 

I myself frequently give advise when dead and it does make the other players play a little better and might prevent them from losing the game.

 

Also in ranked I also gave advice, then some games I stopped that...

 

There is lots wrong with ranked though, XP wise... me giving advice to others so they get more XP and stuff like that... that don't make much sense.

 

The losing star is kinda bad, it gives people incentives to do all kinds of bad things really.

 

Even the credits and xp gain can be bad...

 

(In case you still didn't get it, there are incentives in place that could make you work against your own team ! ;))

 

Ofcourse there needs to be some kind of rewards but when you think about they way people are rewarded and punished right now don't make much sense, except for the rewards when advancing rank.

 

Well it was not my intention to make a review of ranked.. but there ya go... small little review.

 

Not going to give tactical advise for any ship that is up for you to figure out.

 

Winrate doesn't say much in ranked as far as I am concerned. I fought hard with ranger and other ships sometimes too, and still lost easy because of bad teammates, so that kinda sucked.

 

At the end I learned to play myoko a little bit better, but that insight came to late

 

I couldn't really play the ships I was used to and trained and played with so hard... I also had to sell some ships, just to get the ranger... that kinda sucked too... but eventually did have some fun with it...

 

However I already know ranger so didn't learn much from it.

 

Tip:

 

For next season if they pull a strange tier requirement again it might be better to pick a ship you don't really know yet... then at least you will be learning as you go ! ;)

 

Anyway remember the psychological tip for next time, very important ! ;)

 

Bye,

  Skybuck.

What did you learn about playing a Strike load Ranger in Ranked?

Yes, remember the tip about stop posting inane nonsense........

You think it's not fair but you do it anyways?

 

Also in ranked I also gave advice, then some games I stopped that...

 

Your ranked stats:

Games played: 806

Average XP: 1.051,46

Average Damage: 41.261,29

Win Ratio: 44,67%

 

Despite the evidence shown to you, despite all advise to the contrary, you insisted on sailing into ranked battles with a strike Ranger. I do suspect that most people are indeed grateful for you not sharing your brilliant ideas.

 

There is lots wrong with ranked though

 

On this I do agree. Progression in ranked can be frustrating and the strecht from Rank 12 to 1 is really, really long, with no "fallback" position.

 

Winrate doesn't say much in ranked as far as I am concerned. I fought hard with ranger and other ships sometimes too, and still lost easy because of bad teammates, so that kinda sucked.

 

Funnily though, if you consistently lose more over a larger number of games, it just might not be the others that are not bad, it might be you. Hilariously enough, you were the person who complained about people using their ARP Myokos in ranked, while you yourself did use those 117 times in ranked battles.

 

However I already know ranger so didn't learn much from it.

 

You may think you know your Ranger, but from the thankfully few occasions I had the displeasure to see what you were doing first hand, I'd argue that you have plenty of space to improve. Just have a look at other CV players in ranked, some of them have about 15-20% higher winrate than you. Coincidence? May be, but better be safe than sorry and find out yourself.

Better skybuck topics than other troll topics. You people flame him (when you can just ignore the topic instead of feeding it with you attention) even if he sometimes said something that is true. Like his 3 "psychological" tips that are really good advices, but 90% of the people would like to flame their team instead of how bad they are playing and how good, pro the flaming player is.

But that is him, he is the guy that flames his teams. And his playstyle is based on "demanding" that others make up for his shortcommings (as in, demanding that 1/7 ships in a team dedicate their time to keep him safe because in his clueless arrogance he's made himself think a strike ranger is usable in ranked).

 That doesn't mean he is right with his tips. Most people also know they shouldn't go rage mode to win more on but they do and then they prefer to use chat instead of the ship.

 

Don't take his topics seriously and they will be even funny sometimes. Bad but funny ideas.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

The best part is I played on the same team as his infamous Strike Ranger on Ranked and we won all 3 times despite everything  He even managed two Alpha Strikes on the enemy CVs  The other time a DD saved all our collective bacon by torping the enemy CV before he could kill all of OPs birds...

I expected a better topic when you return, i'm a bit disappointed.

This just made me laugh so hard i thought i might spit some organs out.

With those bellow average stats of yours i doubt you can influence anyone by giving advice, isnt it curious how people with [edited] flawed perception think they are good at giving advice are really really bad at the game? but cant really use that really really good advice for themselves.

 

Unless what you are really trying to say here is that you have more impact on the game dead while you are giving "good advice". Now that would be fitting for you wouldnt it?

Please don't put innocent people with actual issues into the same bin as him.

[Dee_82]

what did I learn?

 

That if you don't want to lose a star, play as a DD, towards the end it was getting stupid, I had one battle where 6 of us were DDs and a single BB

 

perhaps they should have game modes where its all one class, a proper DD / BB / CL-CA fest because it sucks when your a lone BB against 6 destroyers.

 

also learnt that there are times of day you should just not bother to play, normally that's the weekend in general and between 5-9 in the evening. basically whenever the game is swamped with kids.

 

Play after 10PM and its much more civil

That says it all. Super good advice would be to tell him not to open a pathetic topic all the time. Very delusive and naiv individual. It's obviously very hard to take his stuff seriously.

 

Vote for close.

Most of his post is rubbish, of course but, to be fair, I totally agree with this part. I can't believe I am saying it but this isn't bad advice.

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a shower and take a long hard look at what in my life has led to the moment when I agreed with Skybuck...

I think I remember that...I suspect I was that DD.

That if you don't want to lose a star, play as a DD

 

 

or play better than the DDs on your team?

I haven't played many games in Ranked with my Pensacola, but even when my team lost the match I never lost a star as I was top XP (might also be due to a lot of players still underestimating the Pensacola's AP)

 

but, as I think I'm more effective in a DD, I played most Ranked Battles with my Mahan

[Kartoffelmos]

So, you played badly and think the reward system is unfair because it favoured people that didn't play badly? Also, you think that "dead players" should not be able to use chat since they can give advise to the remaining players and thus "give away" the first place on the losing side?

 

In short, not only did you play badly, you also played selfishly (not a surprise to anyone who has read your other ranked game threads) and lost the majority of your games because of it. Seems to me that you should have learnt more, but then there would be even more unfortunate teams with you as a "contributing" member.

[row72]

I learned from playin ranked that the game runs much smoother less lag then in random battles.

Maybe more will come, what would you like to see me write about ? ;)
