Hey, look, it's weekend again!

[wilkatis_LV]

Really feels like I need to shoot myself. The absurdity of how tarded can the weekend warriors get... unbelievable.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

I feel the weekend thing is a myth.

 

I don't work regular hours and it's always bad. Whether I'm in game on week days daytime or any other time...

[procrastinatingStudent]

WHAT REALLY!!!!! i swear this weekend thing happened a week ago 

 

[Kuningas_Arthur]

I've never found weekends much worse than weekdays. Not during 12k games in wot or 1k in ships. 

[DanB24]

Weekday evening's used to be ok as long as you played late at night but now it's teams of numpties all of the time. Even WoT took alot longer to go bad and fill with clueless players.

People just love to blame SOMETHING. Frankly, I believe the average skill level might drop a bit (people only playing on weekends, people too focused on 1st wins etc) but the difference isn't really big and it most certainly doesn't negatively affect winrate of more seasoned players. When skill level drops, it drops for both teams - you just need to adjust to what's happening and do your best to exploit enemy mistakes.

Its a fact thou that win rates drop by an average of 3-5% on Saturday and Sundays. Its no coincidence that people feel that there are a lot of noobs around on the weekends.

I've taken to consuming immersion improving beverages traditionally associated with a nautical setting on weekends, they seem to help a lot with the expectations management. 

[HotshotJimmy]

Im usually too busy watching Sink the Bismarck! or Battle of the river plate or Hunt for the Red October at the weekends, looking at you Film4/ITV2 lol!

[ClappingLollies]

It's weekend when people don't give a [edited] about winning. Weekdays i have 70-90% WR. Come weekend, it drops to 40-50%. This has been going on for a long time. Some guys that actually play other games during weekends (They care about WR).

welcome to weekend , where all magic happens

BS

The elephant in the room here is that whilst you are playing with a bunch of useless team mates . .  . so must be the opposing team.

 

MM is NOT singling you out for special attention and piling in the poor players. MM is random enough to spread the love around.

 

So even if you have a full team of daftness to contend with, so does your opponent.

[wilkatis_LV]

Well, I never claimed that it's just my team being the [edited]. Still, the stupid [edited] people do on weekends is mind blowing

Fact? How can it be fact?

So you have evidence beyond your own personal observation and your own stats?

 

The weekend thing is a myth. At best it is a self fulfilling prophecy. You expect to have worse matches, so you act accordingly.

 

Any way... creating new threads complaining about how bad weekend players are, every week, just to get them closed by a moderator, every week, is not helping to create an enjoyable gaming experience anyway. If you feel weekends are unbearable for you, then just don't play but spare us the drama.

But the explanations for 3-5% winrate drop would require some combination of these three factors:

1. The weekend players are actually better and the all-week-pros get their butts handed to them

2. All-week-pros themselves just play worse on weekends (idk, maybe they are distracted or preoccupied with that +100% first win bonus)

3. Weekend meta slightly differs from normal and all-week-pros are unable to adjust - they play based on their all-week experience rather than what is actually happening in the game

 

The inverted factor 1 - weekend players being bad - works IN FAVOR of good players since the better you are (compared to average level of noobness among your teammates and opponents) the more impact you have on the game and the better your chance of actually winning the match through decisive contribution. And it should be the case especially when you take actual statistics rather than whiners' whining. After all, if all all-week-pros had on average, say, -5% winrate, what does it mean? These victories needed to go SOMEWHERE - so they must've went to these weekend noobs, right? That or actually the average level of opponents and allies did not drop at all, perhaps any weekend-only noobs' influence was overshadowed by the really good players actually having more time in the weekend to go and play, perhaps even form divisions that they usually don't have time for in the week... And they just whipped the butts of whiny all-week-pros who then go on forums to whine how they got their asses handed to them and how it's magically the fault of the weekend despite the enemy team also playing on the weekend and even at the same hour (since, you know, that's how it works in real-time multiplayer games).

I can already feel the weekend just after a few battles. While sure there are bad players throughout the week, I feel it multiplies at the weekend. Sometimes the enemy team get it bad, sometimes it's my team. Maybe even both. But it really puts me off playing at the weekend, seeing teams do things even when warned otherwise. 

 

Sure if the enemy team is bad is means damage farming, but there's only so far I can go without a team. Without some support I get blown out of the water while playing with my destroyer. Getting focused by enemy cruisers/destroyers without back up is death.

[Szatanshow]

Oh no "pro" gonna lose some 1-2% winrate etc stat

Wg pls nerf weekends.... ;p

 

 

 

Ps. now someone look at my stats (totaly casual player) and lets start some idiotic war who is beter etc  and lets start call ppl poatos noobs etc... it seems to be the only thing that is lately on this forum in every topic

[Ferry_25]

Just burned my first 2 reports of today. Camping BB pussies, lost us the match. So I won't waste any signal flags or prem consumables on these days anymore. The match is lost anyway. So just keep grinding until better times appear.

 

[RobS80]

To be fair, last night saw some of the most [edited] play I have seen in a while. Many, Many head desk moments!

 

Today might be better.

[Spuggy]

When the game gets to you this much just play the music of my people and dance.

 

 

 

Shadilay brother.............

 

[loppantorkel]

And here I thought people were happy about the weekend and being able to play a game of their choice. Instead it's another whine thread about people losing more games than they rightfully deserve

 

[Shaka_D]

Yep, week off skiing in Italy so tried a few games today. 3 losses despite having been tops in most teams. Log off and now off to watch a movie on my couch. Not worth the frustration playing the game with constant white-washes.
