Max amount of BBs in a team

  

51 members have voted

  1. 1. Does match-maker need a limitation on number of BBs per team?

    • Yes, there are too many BBs and this harms gameplay
    • No, there is no problem about the number of BBs, game is just fine

We have a limitation on amount of CVs in a team, something like this will come to DDs as i know(maybe already came, sorry if i don't know).Right now we need limitation on BBs too.Already %35 of players were playing with BBs before releasing of German BBs(thats a bigger number than other classes) and i'm sure that numbers are increased since we get German BBs.Bottom tiers are full of German BBs but thats not the biggest problem.High tiers are full of BBs too.And they are not German BBs most of the time.This really discourages people about playing cruisers.So problem grows more and more

I think that this poll is unnecesary since there's that much BBs cause they just introduced german ones. Wait till the hype goes down to the ground then you'll end up having like always 3-4 DDs per team and 3-4 BBs.

I'm talking about high tiers: Most of the games are still with 5 BBs per team and those BBs are mostly Japanese or American

And when the British cruisers arrive the game is going to be oversaturated with cruisers for the first 1-2 weeks, so should we limit cruisers then aswell? Nah it's just a case of new ships syndrome. Like above poster said give it some time and it should resort back to more normal levels.

As he's noted, this isn't merely a case in low tiers which is expected to be saturated with KM BBs. BBs are much too common in games for what they are, and since they are the largest threat against other BBs, we end up with games where BBs turn around at the mere sight of another BBs, and the only way to play in a BB becomes "sail toward enemy, then stop and go back and forth a bit while only using your bow turrets".

I'm not in favour of a hard cap, but there definitely seem to be too many BB about, so why not go down the IJN DD route and nerf BB (or buff CA)?

nope its not a new ship syndrome. Devs in a Q&A before german BB line release said that battleship player amount is %31.5 and that is too close to crossing the border.

Whats the point of this discussion? Someone shows a lot of broadside in a cruiser and didnt instal WASD hack? BB are HP pinatas for CAs, and a wet dream for any DD, since CVs die out thanks to constant restrictions, high tiers rarely see them at all, no point in going past tier 8 unless you want a 20+ min wait for a match...And since they didnt limit DDs when there were 12+ per battle, this is unlikely to happen too. Theyll sooner remove CVs from games at all.

1 battle doesnt prove anything

 

even before german BBs came out they said the battleship player amount was %31.5 which was concerning because it was about to cross the limit. Devs will just wait a month or two so german bb hype will cooldown and if that % is higher than what it used to be(31.5%) BBs will get spanked

Lot of that is probably because they are BB. Lots of players came to this game specifically to play them. Again, like in DD case, if they think it's too much, MM is the way to fix that, not nerfs.

You don't understand. BBs are terribly under powered and it is a miracle there is as many of them as there are. We shouldnt be nerfing BBs or buffing their counters but continue to buff BBs and nerf their counters. Maybe WG should nerf HE and fires next. They have already nerfed the CVs and DDs a bit.

Well, They want a 7% CV population, that leaves 93% for the other 3 types of ships, or 31% per type. Only natural that one of the 3 normal types of ships uses 1/3 of the total.

Actually not so. BBs were always supposed to be rarer than CAs and DDs.

This has been a problem much earlier than the arrival of German BBs. WG raised the number of max BBs per battle to 5 a couple of patches ago, making cruiser player life absolutely miserable. German ships have just increased the problem (Scharnhorst anyone?).

 

Cruisers are unplayable right now due to the excessive numbers of BBs, so what will that cruiser player do: take a BB. Vicious circle.
