Uneven matckmaking

This has always been a problem. However, this week has been horrible. 3 days in a row of 99% losing teams. Just like the screen shot you attached. Even the law of probabilities states a 50% chance of winning a given contest. Lately, opponents are winning overwhelmingly and the opponents have two strange and common characteristics. 1. Their player cards have no history. For example, N/A under all columns. 2. Their player cards show all beginner levels. For example, level 10 or less.

i think gj makes this because they think its fair to lose and win 50%

your not the only one, I steer more towards PvE games and less towards PvP games because of the rigged MATCH Making system. They say its not rigged. My ass it isn’t. Uptier, Uptier, Uptier, ohhh guess what next battle so happens to be uptierd. seems no matter what any company does. They make these games unfair from the grinders and those top or higher tiers to farm lower tiers, and honestly if this is how we are treated. Why should we play their game. If players would take a several month break from pvp games and take a stand on what players want. This companies would be forced to get involved and come up with a better system. but people who game across the world don’t have enough brains to make a stand they rather suffer and lose more because they have no common sense

and this why I spend little to No money on a rigged match making system. Now if they made these matches more fare I’d likely spend more, but nope I will not invest into a game where you get 70% Fucked in each match

I honestly don’t know if the average loss rate for a player is 70% but I have not done the research, only gone by my own experience. I find that I will get a streak of crappy matches, then go into an up-tiered match and have a field day.

Of course, I am a n00b, I suck at this game and play at 1.7 because of my own rating and my inexperience.

The issues I have are:

  1. I will be on a team that gets steamrolled in a few minutes. I look at the ratings of the oppo and see that they will have up to 4 very highly ranked players while my team has maybe one, most likely none.

  2. Those highly ranked players will come into the low-tier, beginner matches with OP vehicles that are nearly impossible for players that suck (me and other beginners) to take out effectively or before those tanks spit on us and send us to the dark regions. I am talking about highly ranked players that come in with Casemate tank destroyers, heavies such as: T28’s ( which I finally learned to kill quickly and effectively), Lee’s, KV2’s, ect.

I get that I need to learn, but allowing this type of flexing by highly ranked players is discouraging for many and I see players quit just because they know they are overmatched.

Lastly, and what I saw last night, was a 100 player in a very strong tank just sit on cap, doing nothing else while the n00bs, such as myself, were moving around in open tank destroyers trying to hold the line. Then, after my third death, this “good” player was hiding in an area until the end of the match.

If you are more interested in K/D then go somewhere else and do it, preferably in a BR that should more match your experience, just do not do your own thing for your own ego.

Your best bet is to form a squad and play as a group. Stop looking at the scoreboard to make yourself timid, because that is all it’s going to do.

That hesitation and assumption will stop you from doing what you need to, when you need to, to claw back the match.

This happened to me for a while when I was grinding the Brit bluewater Naval about maybe 2 months ago. At first it was the usual suck and I spaded 3 destroyers (all separate matches for each) without a SINGLE win. Used RP boosters to speed things up. It was just atrocious. After a while things got better, started getting some wins and matches were much more balanced. Usually, I would say, about 70% of the matches are total duds, unbalanced trash. That’s an F on steroids.

Was playing 5.0 US destroyers for SL boosters before this. It was just never ending suck. Uptier after uptier to 5.7-6.0. Meanwhile gaijin has stealth nerfed the mobility of the US destroyers at the same time. It was just painful. The last straw was a first match after the current big update. The enemy team was all shifted up by 0.3 with us having 10x 5.3 while the enemy had 10x5.7 and some 6.0 while we had NONE. Of course I was in a 5.0 destroyer and some other shmuck next to me that got obliterated by entire enemy cruiser team from spawn to spawn. I survived, but just had 29% health left… and that’s just coming out of the spawn. Of course we got obliterated like there was no tomorrow.
I retired 5.0 destroyers and used 4.7 Frank Knox for SL boosters for the first time. First few matches were fun with just slight uptiers to 5.0, then the suck began once again. 1.0 uptiers to 5.7 over and over again. Funny thing is, full downtiers are the worse (it was always like this). 9 out of 10… steamroll loss. Absolutely no chance for a win whatsoever. The result: 20 matches and 30% win rate. After I switches to 6.7 Japanese after the US, constant losses and 0 wins, as if playing the US before kept the suck going.
Just recently I had 3 days in a row with ZERO wins. These were the most unbelievable matches that I don’t wish on anyone. Just total suck. From the new update I have progressed very little. It’s barely noticeable. Way to many tasks based on wins when gaijin fails to provide a proper match maker. It’s always like one team is bloodthirsty and one team just wonders around aimlessly, often spawning in the cruiser spawn at the end of the map with destroyers while I’m alone or almost alone trying to fight for A and B that are close to each other.

Btw, what is the point of this match?:

99% of the time I’m on that other losing team, often still getting more kills that all other players on my team put together. Notice how the AI has more kills than the players. Would you call this a balanced match? How long before the players on that team give up on WT? More than 12 years in and we still lack a proper/fair match maker.

Hmm, this match was just before I had one with Hyuga and my aim was constantly off and multiple assists or even possible kills were not counted and I got a very low score (807) with just 1 kill and ZERO assists for 16 minute match. I always seem to get punished in the next 1 or more matches after I get in the top 2, even if it’s a loss. This is all very peculiar. With Hyuga I would usually get about 5+ assists and 4+ kills. It’s a strange game where you get nerfed for doing better in your previous match. Do you really play this game or does the game plays you?

Ohhh the game plays you for sure, it is a balancing match for Gaijin. Slow the grind down to a crawl even with a premium account hoping you will buy eagles at a vastly over inflated price to purchase a new item be it a normal tech tree or a premium.
A lot of research has gone into this subject they know your mind better than you do, what rewards to give and how long before you lose interest, with game players the parameters are even better as they are invested/addicted to the product just as strongly as any other addict.
Basically the company is playing you to their advantage, they are not your buddy, they have no time for you, compassion or respect they just want your money and even if they rinsed you for everything you had it would never be enough and they would want more.
