Russian Bias in 2026?

Yeah sure. Just watch TEC’s video and stop coping man. BVM, 90M, 72 and arena dominate NATO counterparts everyday.

As proven by the fact the current most played vehicles at top tier are russian. And that 80% of the player base is currently queuing Russia. And finally that Russia win majority of games at top tier. People know what the META is, people play the META. The market know the META better than you do.

Wtf is that explanation, wtf is that ?

A reasonable team just won’t spam their SPAAs, they’ll just play normally and dominate NATO ?

Bottom line, Russia has just the best SPAAs compared to NATO ?

“If you have the worse vehicles you loose because they’re bad, if you have the best vehicles you also loose because they’re just gonna spawn those and gonna loose because of that”. Unbelievable level of coping lmao

This just reeks of dominance lol.

Global stats for the last month show a median of 0.753 K/S which is honestly pretty bad. I highly doubt that the average (or even worse, below average) player really knows what meta is. Guess it’s time for you to stop parroting that “argument”.

If it was a joke then the video title would be along the lines of: “BMPT is perfectly balanced”, wouldn’t it ?

Watch the videos. Especially the second “why Gaijin hates america” is so full of hyperbole that its quite obvious that they are both april fools vids with a bit of a true core to them.

Now you’re just coping. TEC is a very neutral guy concerning the russian bias. I always ask him directly if he thinks there is a russian bias at top tier IN STREAM (so live), and he used to, until now, say there wasn’t.

But he did notice that nowadays, the bias has become blatant, and there is no way to say it doesn’t exist anymore.

Plenty of people think that way literally so I can’t dismiss that as a joke.
Also, he seems to be on a very tight schedule, releasing 10-15-20 videos per week so the date could just be a coincidence.

Really? In the america vid he literally says:“But unfortunately, America is stuck with equipment from the '90s because only the fact that Gaijin just doesn’t like them. That’s the only reason why any of this stuff happens. And it’s just incredibly sad that that is the case.”
and we really assume that thats not meant to be an april fools joke in a video released on april 1st?

53% winrate for the arena, a MBT which has top tier APFSDS + APS capability at 11.0, of course it just “reeks” of dominance wtf ?

Don’t care about the median kd (I don’t even know what you’re showing me rn. Is is overall russian tanks ? Only top tier tanks ? Only bvm + 90m ? Idk), I’m talking about what the majority of the players choose to play at top tier. They choose Russia. 80% of them currently queue for Russia at top tier.

The majority of the players know which nation has the META, so they simply play it. People are not dumb, you know.

They see Russia steamrolls big majority of top tier games, so they don’t think twice and just play the META (then massively win).

I don’t think the video about the russian bias is a joke.

He definitely sounds serious. I don’t think it’s a joke.

No.

Even in his regular videos in the past, he complained about how british stuff is constantly being nerfed for no reason at all (for example the Chieftains getting upped in BR for no reason at all relatively to their capabilities), compared to russian stuff being artificially/shadow buffed.

It sounds kinda obvious deep inside he believes there is a russian bias for now quite some time, but just cannot say it in his videos, because probably there is a lot of russian players watching them.

Good jokes or comedy in general always has more or less truth at its core, those videos are not different in that regard.

Wow, it absolutely destroys the whole area around 11.0 with all that strength.

The picture showcased above doesn’t really align with that.
Average WT player has a very basic understanding of how the game works and thus isn’t very likely to understand the meta.

I’ve come across plenty of people on this forum that literally think this is the case.

Yeah ?
It’s a perfectly valid assumption to be honest.

Content farmer that releases two dozen videos each week complaining about things using common arguments isn’t something wild at all.

With a top tier DART and APS capability at 11.0, yes it theoratically does. Are russian players smart enough to play it correctly though ? That is another question.

This is the problem with WT and how devs balance the game in general. They, like you, rely TOO MUCH on global performance stats. They release a vehicle which is objectively overpowered (like the Arena at its BR), then check the stats. If those are +/- = to 50%, they consider it to be balanced.

But they do not understand sometimes players are just too bad themselves to use them correctly. Arena should objectively be at a higher BR, because it has top tier capabilities. But the players using it are bad, so the Arena winrates go down. Devs see that, they don’t think twice and consider the vehicle balanced.

And it also goes the other way around. NATO players are good, so they have good performance, yet their vehicles are bad. Devs don’t think about it twice and don’t buff the said vehicles.

The picture showcased above doesn’t really align with that.

No.

Check out the numbers of top tier games queued by Russia vs the ENTIRE other nations. 80% of the current player base queue Russia at top tier. It means people know Russia dominates top tier, and thus play Russia.

The current top tier most played vehicles are also russian. People know which vehicles dominate, so they just play it.

Really good video from TEC, I invite everyone to watch it.

What he’s explaining is very interesting.

EDIT : This is an illustration of what is top tier US right now :
