Tekacko Players 309 posts 6,030 battles Report post #1 Posted September 17, 2017 Last time I checked Tier 7 had really good MM, but nowadays, 8/10 battles are against tier 9. Not to mention tier 7 fares extremely terrible against tier 9. Like really, what tiers are you supposed to have fun at nowadays? High tiers are extremely frustrating, tier 7 is crap... are you supposed to go back to tier 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My god there are some bad players online today, yesterday and Friday I mean, I'm average at best, but when I look like a unicum compared to the rest of the team, I know something is very, very wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekacko Players 309 posts 6,030 battles Report post #4 Posted September 17, 2017 I really love fighting Missouries in my Pensacola, I really do. Also, tier 7 DDs get outspotted by tier 9 DDs, thus will get wrecked every time unless the tier 9s are terrible. Also, I hate how a majority of the good content is locked to high tiers, which are fundamentally unfun to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #5 Posted September 17, 2017 Yet I can use the Yugumo on my team to spot my Blys / Lenni... Tier 5 vs 7 is a much bigger gap. Cruiser gap 7-9 is bigger as 5-7 though :) And Pensa has always been a hard grind, heck you should have played it before all the buffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rvfharrier Weekend Tester 805 posts 4,630 battles Report post #9 Posted September 17, 2017 T7 MM does definitely seem different. Not necessarily a bad thing, it was frankly ridiculous being top tier almost every single game, and certainly hasn't 'ruined' the tier, but it certainly feels like you're top tier much less.

jss78 Players 1,292 posts 12,866 battles Report post #12 Posted September 17, 2017 I dunno, maybe there's some difference, but at worst T7 is feeling "normal" now. Whereas it's often felt like you're almost always top tier. Which is nice when you're the T7 guy but not so great in the big picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This Also Remeber the every man and there dog is trying to get any tier IX ships they have to tier X for a super crate on top of that the current Yamamoto campain missions are Predominantly tier IX+ this is making high tiers very popular. Tier 7 have some of the strongest BBs and DD tier for tier in the game and not just Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capra76 Players 5,001 posts 7,787 battles Report post #16 Posted September 17, 2017 My guess it that the large number of Iron Dukes at T5 is having an effect on MM, possibly drawing the T5/6 CA/DD into their games thus pushing T7 ships up into T8/9 MM.

It actually feels like T8 now gets decent MM - most of the time against T7 and T8, and not against T10 like it used to. T7, on the other hand - rest in pepperoni.

[L4GG] Butterdoll Players 3,470 posts 11,414 battles Report post #23 Posted September 17, 2017 man, I had a battle today. I fought against t9 before with my t7, but was two or three in each side, they were "invited" in. This time I was the "invited" one loads of t9 and t8. I didn't even "touch the ball", the map seems to be bigger, and the udaloi? man that thing it's a cruiser disguised as a dd. me and two other ships (ca, dd, bb) were in a flanking manoeuvre chasing a Baltimore, a pensa and a udaloi? that took forever. Just give a jet ski or something much faster to do that kind of maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenamedUser_92906789 Players 5,828 posts Report post #24 Posted September 17, 2017 T7 is still one of the most enjoyable tiers in the game. I used to love T4,5 and 6, but T5 and T6 face even worse MM. I will say once again (and I know that some of you guys will go ... no no its perfectly fine as it is) that the only fair solution would be to introduce +/- 1 MM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
