I was literally counting with my friend while playing 5.7 (in theory) how many 5.7 tanks we actually faced and it came to a conlusion that for 14 games we were facing mostly tanks not around but only 6.7, and its been an issue for me for quite a while that i literally didn’t have a single game that wasn’t a full uptier. So im wondering has this been an issue only for me or is that a thing in general
If I were to hazard a guess. 6.3/6.7 is a premium blackhole.
There are a LOT of premiums at and around 6.3/6.7, especially for the big 3 nations. Also notable vehicles such as the Tiger II in the tech tree, with 6.7 being a sweetspot for some nations in terms of strengths.
This creates a blackhole that sucks everything +/- 1.0 into it, you have a large amount of players at these BRs and so the MM just needs to pull players from below often to fill matches and so will result in a lot of uptiers for anyone playing 5.7/6.0. If you switch to playing 5.0/5.3, you would probably find a notable reduction in uptiers, as the players above are being sucked up quite often and so you will naturally find that as result, you will get downtiers
I exploit the same thing at higher BRs, 9.3 and 10.3 I tend to find far less uptiers than 9.7 and 10.7 and so, naturally, I play a lot more 9.3 and 10.3.
Yup, 6.7 is a blackhole. US has a huge line up there alongside germany and their wehraboo lineup.
