The numbers can obviously be tweaked, and this could be given to only premium accounts as well if gaijin thinks it is better that way.
The idea is this: When you play 5 matches that are full uptiers , you get a Token called the “Downtier Token”
Before searching for a new match, you click the new “Use my Downtier Token” button, and it will probably take longer to find a match, but that 1 match will be a guaranteed downtier, no matter how long it takes to find that match.
This will allow gaijin to sell more premium accounts, and we can use stuff like boosters in that match. Everyone benefits.
Mhm - i am quite sure that your 13k matches gave you enough indicators that uptiers and constant uptier loops are no accident.
So proposing a possibility to circumvent imho fully intended “features” in the MM looks comprehensible, but highly unlikely to be considered by gaijin…
ive gotten so tired of the broken matchmaking at 11.0 that gets sucked into 12.0 %95 of the time that i simply dodge matches now, i just quit if it is a 12.0 match. If you are playing 11.3 just forget about downtiers, same for 9.7 planes without flares. It is just unbearable.
A giant issue is some nations don’t have any vehicle at certain BRs to allow a down tier. Say like 4.7 in GRB. Germany, Sweden, France, and Israel lack any vehicles at that BR in the tech tree. That leaves entire nations ineligible for certain battles to give a player a guaranteed down tier. So using a token at 5.7, which sees a lot of up tiers, would leave very limited ability to form teams,.
That is NOT AN ISSUE. i have had many times where my nation does not have that br yet it happens. you may not be familiar with BR mechanics, also the game usually is not 1 faction vs all. Just give me an example vehicle and i will tell you how it will happen. German 5.7? You are put in a team full of churchills or T-34-57s IS-1s etc that are 4.7-5.3. The matchmaker already does this, it is nothing new. IT ALREADY HAPPENS. So i do not understand if your issue is because you do not know how the game works or something else.
I know how it works, but look at 5.0 to 6.0 ARB. When you start limiting the matchmaker trying to force only certain vehicles you will wind up with tiny one sided games. That issue is stemming from just from 1 aircraft filling the pool of available planes. When you start having numerous players trying to use a token to get a down tier the same is going to start populating all over.
Imho the Ju 288 deadzone is one of the very few exceptions of overall MM rules and logic - so this example is from my pov not suited to be representative for the game as a whole.
