It seems that there is no option to apply MM compression and BR decompression at the same time in your options.
That is because that is objectively worse.
I can bring up 4 heavy tanks: Tiger 2, IS-3, IS-4M, and T29. You can also put int T26E5 instead of T29 if you think it’s OP.
IS-4M can be killed by a Tiger 2, it’s hard, but it can be done.
R2Y2 and MD452 can be killed by a Kikka, Attacker, F-80A, Ho 229, F3D, A2D-1, SK60B, or Me 262; it’s hard, but it can be done.
These vehicles under your system would have to compress to 0.7 apart instead of 1 apart in order for their balance to be maintained and the game to be challenging to the way it is.
It’s why I say decompression is superior than screwing up the match maker.
With 4 slots available, that’s more slots to balance similar but different vehicles, whereas 3 isn’t enough [see why Wargaming games struggle with 3].
I HOPE your intent wasn’t to make MD452 OP, or Mig-19S, or IS-4M and T26E5 unkillable, and your intent was to compress those BRs as well as the matchmaker.
I want decompression, I’ve proven how it’s mathematically superior than any changes to the matchmaker, and I’ve also mathematically proven that it’s less work.
And my opinion is to put your effort into arguing for decompression instead.
It’s just ONE guy. ONE GODDAMN GUY.
How does the quit window stop assumption work in this model? is this assuming player quitting queue to requeue or is quitting means player getting admitted to a lobby that start the match? if it’s the first one could you please run this model again but with larger quit window on about 30 seconds? realistically I will only quit the queue after about 45 or more second of not getting games, And in mode like naval I can actually just ignore it and wait until I get matches.
He does not want decompression. He wants all to stay the same. He fails to understand what decompression is.
For him decompression is a slight balance adjustment. Of 1 or multiple vehicles, at best a single BR
If 1 vehicle underperforms in regards to the vehicles it faces moving that vehicle around is decompression for him. If one BR overperforms in general with a few exception moving that BR up except for the exception is for him also decompression.
So any approach that is actual decompression is alien to him as he fundamentally believes that the current balance of all BRs and vehicles is fine with a few exceptions.
He also fundamentally believes that it is fine for lets say a Tiger II to meet 5.7 and dominate them because the Tiger II can also meet 7.7 and gets dominated. in his world it is impossible for a player to not spawn a Tiger II in a 7.7.
So he is not talking about decompression, he is talking about vehicle rebalancing and calls it decompression.
So if you go by that what he says makes sense but is simply put off-topic.
Meanwhile the rest of the people knows that decompression is literally the act of taking the entire TT and widening the gap between vehicles to ensure edgecase matchups we have right now are no longer possible. Alternatively it would also be doing that but starting at x BR.
That explains why he is against it. Decompression of 6.7 would require moving 7.7 away from 6.7 s it can no longer meet. But as his example shows, he believes all 7.7s should meet 6.7 except for those that overperform. So removing the ability of the Tiger II to meet any 7.7 (decompression) is against his fundamental believes, so he is against decompression because he believes the current situation is almost perfect with just a few kinks to iron out.
