[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Can they please remove Attica?

lol, this just tells me your definition for overpowered is calibrated way too high in performance.

There are like, actually dozens of these. Maybe 100+

Sure what ever you like. If you think there is +100 OP vehicles at 3.0-5.0br I want to see tanks that are not OP.
I can just say that I don’t have problem with facing really any tank at those BRs.

So just to make sure I’m following your math here: I counted roughly 177 vehicles in the 3.0–5.0 BR range. If “maybe 100+” of those are supposedly OP, that means about two-thirds of the entire bracket is overpowered. At that point, “OP” stops meaning “outlier” and starts meaning “the baseline,” which is a pretty creative redefinition of the term.

BR and OP doesn’t mean crud in this game anymore.

Matchmaking determines, and as stated - if a tank is permanently up tiered - then its permanently +1 BR than its "Stated BR! its a complete farce! Hence the same is tru - if a player is consistently down tiered by 1BR,., (OP)

It was not clear you were talking about 3.0-5.0. There are overpowered vehicles in that range though.

It was NOT clear the user was talking about 3.0-5.0.

This is probably because I posted this to different topic that talked about 3.0-5.0 being according to that topics OP that range was most balanced and fun in game. This topic was nuked by mod and fused to this one.
So I didn’t specify BR range in my comment.

at least they move topics now and merge instead of deleting like they did for years

They could at least bother to make that it shows if comment was from merged topic so this wouldn’t happen.

Nothing will get better unless they change the matchmaker to +0.7 / -0.7

Arguing over 0.3 BR here and there isnt going make any real improvements.

Take the F15a. Has a new number at side of its name. Reality is it fights in the exact same lobbies 99/ 100 it did when 13.0.

1.0 is too much no matter what decompression everyone dreams of that isnt happening anyway…

Does anybody else noticed a disgusting amount of uptiers lately?

And when I say disgusting I mean it. I played like 25+ battles today and everytime, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I got an uptier, ussually full +1.0, sometimes +0.7. This is borderline mathematically impossible!
After hours of suffering I was so angry that I made a decision that I am going to just immediately leave the battle if it was a full uptier. And then the game hit me with a triple combo, 9.3, 10.3, and 5.7 all three of my lineups got a full uptier, and that was the final straw, so I got here to rant.

Did they mess up the match maker? Is this some event grinding “Gaijin special gift” to make us suffer? Did I anger the gods? Am I losing my mind and just tripping? Am I the only one who got cursed?

I had my first downtier in a very long time the other night, was a pleasant surprise. Now, the aircraft I was in was still totally outclassed even in a full downtier, but it was a nice surprise non-the-less. My experience is ground is not much different. No matter what, its always full uptiers

Uptiers to me, seem based on the most popular tiers that people play.

So 9.3 is uptiered a lot to 10.3, since there’s simply so many 10.3 vehicles.

7.7/8.0 goes to 8.7 a lot due to the huge 8.7 Soviet lineup.

5.7 goes to 6.7 due to the big 3 all having solid 6.7 lineups etc etc.

10.3 is relatively safe in my eyes, however I have been getting a lot of 11.0 Type 90 spam recently.

9.3 is the most uptiered BR in the game due to premium spam.

Stop playing BRs that get blackholed into a perma uptier its that easy if you play 9.X you’re guaranteed to be thrown into 10.X
