Just finished a battle, which to say it was one sided is an understatement.
We were swept from the field in minutes, i finished 1st on the losing side with 1443 points.
1 cap, 1 tank & helicopter kill. not a stellar performance but grinding my new auto-loading Leo2. (got lucky with the last suitecase event).
now what got my attention was the somewhat lopsided team rosters. after a swift defeat i took some time to browse through the line-ups of both team, this is what i found:
our team:
11 x 10.7;
3 x 11.0;
1 x 11.3;
1 x 11.7;
the opposition:
6 x 10.7;
2 x 11.0;
4 x 11.3;
4 x 11.7;
To make it worse our two "top-tier"players were at the bottom of the score list, while their top 3 killed more (20) then our entire team combined.
Now was this a fluke, a random failure of the MM trying to balance the teams? Or has this happen to anyone else before.
I know there is always a chance of full uptier as it was now, but a 2 against 8 advantage for the enemy in available top BR’s seems a bit unfair.

Whole game is unfair bro, nothing new. People complaining about that problem long time, but seems Gaijin doesn’t care. As BVVD said once: “everything is fine, if there was problems people would leave game, but playerbase increases” (he said something like that) so Gaijin doesn’t see problem, as always.

Yes it happens all the time, it is a combination of poor match making, the horrendous BR system and that some vehicles/planes and ships should not really be in the game as they are so useless they are a hindrance and a gift kill to the other side, plus the RNG and endemic cheating it makes for a poor gaming experience.
But this is all masked by the company and player base defaulting to its a skill issue just papering over the cracks that will never be fixed. As they have no real competition ( WoT has its own problems) then people just keep playing regardless the occasional review bomb does not do a lot to change it all.

Been going on for a bit, but I just noticed it over the last week…I’ve been flying 3.7-5.3 as a level 100, my “teams” consist of between 11-14 players under level 20, one of level 30-50 and maybe a level 80…They trot out their Tier 3 or 4 premium and back it up with a couple of 1.3 BR planes and reserves…We are constantly being matched up against squads and or multiple level 100’s who have had 20-50,000+ battles…This is a joke, especially if you are trying complete tasks that involve any type of cooperation…I am really sick of all the gougin garbage as far as the constant manipulation of the game and then the stream of lies gougin spews…About time for a very long break from this garbage…

I wonder who the first guy will be to say, “skill issue” and then go on a tangent about how you are the problem, not your team.

5 battles in a row I was saddled with teams that were absolute shyte.
I’m an average players, but compared to my teammates I was Michael Wittman.
Finished top 1-4 each battle except for the one I quit early in disgust because my team refused to leave the spawn area.

This is probably the most broken part of the game, stuff like a team’s highest BR being n00bs is fine IMO, that’s just how BR works, but the disparity in BR overall like this is unaceptable, and it seems so common I cannot imagine they are unable to see it.

Of course they can see it, because it is part of the game coded and baked in from day one. Most probably given to the part time intern or summer help to carry out the task and nobody else could be bothered to spend the time or effort to design anything else.
Players forget this game is not for the players you are an afterthought just a necessary consumable that the company needs, they do not care about you, your views or thoughts, or think of you in any way. Like a politician they will say what you want to hear when they want something from you and once they have it will make excuses up and just plain ignore you, look at the review bombing episode.
They are here to make money all of the money and if that means upsetting, annoying or frustrating the players in the hope that a few percent will spend cash then that is a price they will willingly pay.

I’ve had a few rounds where the only reason my team even won was because I was the only person in the entire match to capture the point. Both sides were just sitting in or near their spawns trying to snipe each other. This is just sad how the game has gotten this bad.
