Winrates and playing for the daily win bonus

[basharran]

Winning is always nice, but when I have played a nice game and did what I could, I will accept a loss as easily.

 

Always remember: games are played for fun!

When there is specific mission period, like XP gathering, winning becomes extremely important to me. That usually when my karma goes down a lot because i am very active in chat, guiding and criticizing my team members , often not gently. Also when i make mistake i get frustrated with my self.

Aren't games supposed to be fun?

Winning is always the goal for me in every battle, but I won't die if I lose from time to time. Even during missions/events I play normally though when there is something exceptional like triple xp the overall standard of game play deteriorates and my WR has more ups and downs.

I did the same yesterday as I am currently grinding 2 ship lines, training some captains, and try to get Graf Spee asap (yesterday's 100% bonus came in handy). Only lost 1 of 9 games and got pretty nice results, too. These were all ships I feel quite confident with, except Chapayev which is still stock. So no, if you feel comfortable with the ships you are playing and your main intention is grinding, you don't give up on the opportunity to win more (as you have the same chance with every ship), but simply maximize your gainings.

 

If you lose games, you have two (three) options anyway:

1. play a different ship and see if you can do better

2. play the same ship and see if you can get the hang of it

(3. do something else entirely - sleeping is usually the best pick )

 

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

 

 

On 3 Id actually go for a war doc, naval gunnery if possible, all knowledge is important.

Here's a mathematical question.

 

So I may have a bad daily playing habit. Every day, I play each ship till I win the daily bonus. If I lose, I repeat with the same ship till I win and get the daily bonus. The moment I win the daily bonus, I move on to the next ship I want to gain xp for. 

 

Now my husband noticed this behavior of mine and he said that I'm actually depressing my winrate because I promote my losing streaks but stop any chance of a win streak going. So, is he right? Am I gimping my winrate? I'm sort of alright with math but not great with statistics so feel free to go deep math in your explanation.

 

Because none provided the answer that op asked for yet, how you should look at it is that as long as nothing carries over from past losses or past wins to following matches you are not depressing your win rate. The idea is similar to sunk costs, if you are familiar with the term, and investing decisions. It does not matter how much effort/money you have put into something to decide whether you want to put more. Payments in the past bear no meaning for current decisions - there is no mechanic for them to do that.

 

So, your husband is wrong, the concept of "win/lose streak" is only an illusion created by the rng nature of match outcomes.

Further to this, I only flag and special camo stack for the daily bonus. To the point of saving my best like any 100% extra xp camo and Dragon flags for weekend doubles or better.
