 I hope WG improves the matchmaking system inorder to prevent something like this to happen.

That's like saying people need a louder rape whistle if rapes are too frequent.

The problem isn't with the MM, it's working from the ships in queue.

You're all complaining at nothing.

 

When RN BB arrive you'll see BB lol MM beyond anything you can imagine...

 

I really want to play them but I think I'm going to have to wait awhile before starting my grind.

Once they are out, i'll greet them with all my DDs and most of my cruisers! 

I assume that the lower tiers will be filled with loads of them, and quite a number will free XP their way to TX - as usual. 

 

And then - hopefully - i'll get the MM so many seem to be scared of: 10-11 BBs per side and me in a DD.

When do you guys play? I never see MM like that. In fact BBs have been averaging 3-4 in games over the last few days with lots of dds. 

 

In my games anyway (and I'm not complaining my cruisers love it)

Well, S_O said we are delusional, and there was no increase in BB population, so yea, you are just delusional, that was all cruisers / DDs, not BBs.

If you have 90% BBs in queue, 5% DDs and 5% CA/CL you can't make matches that have balanced class spread for everyone. All those excess BBs has to go somewhere, and they go into matches like these. This is not the fault of the MM it's the fault of WG not balancing classes adequately and too many people are playing BBs.

That's why I said MM system has to be redone in some way.

Can't have been fun being the two enemy cruisers... Though I guess if they found a nice island to hug they could rack up pretty impressive numbers. But with that many BBs, they are bound to have been flanked at some point.

WG have a cunning plan to deal with this...

the CV rework will drop the same time as the RN BBs. CV drivers will come out of the woodwork to meet the plague of BBs headon. It will be a bloodbath of epic proportions. think Force Z on steroids.

BBmains will be so traumatized that they will retreat to lick their wounds and never sail alone again, always teaming up with AA strong CAs. with huge demands on the small cruiser population for escort duties, BB numbers will have to fall, cruiser numbers will rise to meet demand and DDs can go back to hunting CVs while ignoring those annoying cap thingies people demand they sit in.

... and all will be well again in WOWsland

 

what can I say, I have a strong imagination.

What a silly question. Working as intended, as always.

I really don't have the words to express my disgust.

 

I know this was suggested before; but would it be possible to dump the BB's in a match without any other classes? At least they can just sling mud at each other for ten minutes until one side gets bored.

Ok, a quick question - are BB's OP, or like any other game with multiple vehicles, some are OP, some UP and rest average when compared to the other ships in the game.

 

BB's are more likely to be the most popular class with players as they are the 'sexy' class, being more famous than most other ships - other than the odd CV.

So if you want a balanced load out of classes, perhaps BB's should be designed to be UP compared to all other classes, not by much, otherwise they will not get played and the game goes 'bust', but enough to keep the quantity to about 30% of the queue.

These weird team compositions are almost always caused by a CV waiting in queue for too long. When a second CV eventually shows up, everything else that happens to be in queue at that precise moment is thrown into a match. 

Outside of this special occasion, the matchmaker handles BB overflow just fine by making them wait a little longer than other classes.
