Potato dd drivers too OP pls nerf

[Senjougahara_Tore]

Add: I'm not here to complain dds or asking dd nerfs. Please don't be that super fast reader and only read two words.

( xxxxxxxxxxxddxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxop is that what you have in your eyes?)

Terrible afternoon for me and my friend...

Win Rate on my Iowa drop from about 70% to 60% (avg damage increase from 84k to 91k, which is funny

For most of the battle, one or two dds died right in their smoke (enemy dd: first blood, ds)at the beginning. Another one or two afk for like 5 min then go online and yolo. And U know potatoes yelling "fxxxing rexxxx team/bbs no support" is an obligatory part (Every time I checked their stats it's like no more than 45% WR).

 

As a bb driver I have no complaint about the new IJN dds or RN CA(CL)s. Those add a lot of diversity in battle which means more fun. And I enjoy the combat against those high skilled player (they win for most of the time, but still a lot of fun). Yet potato dd drivers make the gaming experience terrible. They are not only making their team lose (in a more effective&painful way compare to if they were in a bb or ca), but also causing those landslide battle (potato dds on one side died quickly, then bb and ca have to run, then the other side win by point very quick. Without any good fights for sure. And the highest for winning team ended up like 1100xp or something, most of the other get no more than 900xp). I think very few people will enjoy this kind of battle.

 

Would like to know your thoughts on landslide battle and its cause(s). Maybe I just had a bad day and experienced too much of it in a short time. Maybe landslide battle or potato dd drivers is not a big problem for this game, or maybe they are. If this is really an issue, then WG should do something about it.

You're driving one of the most powerful ships in the game and blaming your losses on the most fragile ones in the game?

 

Got it.

 Here's a tip don't spend so much time checking stats since you cant do much about the team, play your game and don't try to make up for players that cant carry their end, had this in WOT all the time with people refusing to play "bad" tanks and so on in the end nobody cares how purple you are and it will make the game a lot more enjoyable.

I find that when DD's fall out quickly that it gets rough.  They have a certain ummmmmm... "stand back, I am a snake and I am poison.  Just don't step on me."  Kind of thing to the other team.  So long as they know they are there, they proceed with some caution.  When gone -- they move with impunity as they can see their enemy.  DD can devastate a foe.   The OP has at least some Legit claim to their statement  Unfortunately as a DD as a favored ship, I die on a rush cap a lot and don't always see what is around as I focus on avoiding one ship only to run into another.  You said it right, they are fragile.  Its like holding a baby Rattlesnake as opposed to an adult one.

Note: copy and paste of names makes editing a piece of crap...

For a moment there I thought you were shitposting.

I don't think we read the same post.  He never said that DD's were OP or anything that can possibly be interpreted that way.  He was saying that when you have too many potato DD's on the same team, landslide's are a common result.  I concur with his sentiment.  Many teams can overcome bad BB play.  Not many can overcome bad DD play.

Nah, I have that market cornered for today with my great thread

[MrDeaf]

I too have noticed an influx of potato DD players.

 

Usually, they are in Lo Yang, Benson, Fletcher or Gearing.

 

Although, I think there is still, by far and away, way more potato BB players playing Bismarck, FDG and GK.

[BlailBlerg]

How entitled.  

Considering that the DDs have to push deep into dangerous ranges to do their job and do so many things to win the game, this post comes off as shitposting. 

 

Extremely entitled BBs asking for more nerfs to other ships.  That's the snide intent

BB drivers are hands down, no contest the biggest potatoes in the game.  It's not even close.  The bad players get insta-deleted in cruisers and can't dd to save their lives so eventually they go to the safest class there is.  Did a poll a while back, it speaks for itself.  http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/93821-pick-your-potato/page__fromsearch__1

I actually agree with him with regards to DDs dying in their smoke to torps, or taking so long to load in that they have no hope of contesting a cap, basically handing the caps to the enemy.

 

DDs make or break a game for your team, so it is particularly frustrating watching them die to stupidity within 2mins or watch them take 4-5 mins to actually just spawn into the game.

​Powerful in terms of damage. Not so powerful for capping or hunting dds

 I check the stats when I got super pissed off. Not what I do normally. Thanks for the tip will keep in mind

Exactly what I want to say

I never asked nerfs for any ship. Please read before calling me entitled thank you

[BlailBlerg]

First of all, I called you both entitled AND snide.  Insidious and your post is worded in a relatively condescending way.  What do you think you mean by "WG should do something about it"?

 

Also, maybe you should try some DDs before thinking DDs potato.  

Funny that you think the potatoes are all the ones who get within 6km of a cap and enemy torpedoes to do teamwork. 

 

Maybe you meant well, but your intent is making the game worse.  

[QQmore]

Always push balls deep into dangerous areas.

[Capt_Q_Sparrow]

Well it all comes down to a gamble as a DD driver . Is my support going to stay 15 K back ? Are they going to hide behind an island and Hang me out to dry ? Did a fast enemy cruiser push hard and use radar to spot me while 4 ships tore me a new one ?  Boy do you ever hear those BB's and cruisers holler if you don't rush in there to cap or spot so they can stay safely out of torp range never drawing any fire while you are detected and scrambling for your life . So before you start even talking about Potato DD drivers try being one for a few hundred games and revisit this post . 

 

And yes I have a Gearing / Benson / Fletcher all with 18 point commanders earned the hard way

I agree for sure.

Well the thing is, German bbs last for a while even in the worst player's hand. For sure that still harms the team, but better than bad dd drivers

This. Bad BBs usually throw mid/endgames. Bad DDs can do that right in the beginning. >.>

[EvilTim666]

Had a game in my Omaha (a while back) - 7 DDs on my team, 5 on the enemy team. At the 5min mark, 6 of the DDs on my team were dead. 1 dead on the other team. Guess how that game went ... :/

[Swagger897]

lol, the oversight in this thread is off the charts.

 

You've got a guy who mainly plays a cruiser talking about how bad DD players can instantly cause you to lose the game, with DD players coming into this thread and reading it as a BB player crying, and DD players coming in thinking it's a shitpost.

 

So sad to see what goes on some of these days and the people who create the mess in the first place, where they have no idea what they're talking about.

 

 

Back to the OP: Yeah, terrible DD players can/will make you lose a game. No different than that of a CV who's in a Hak going to strike the Midway on the back of the map. When you see it, you'll know, and you'll know it's a lost. 

[Capt_Q_Sparrow]

Potato dd drivers too OP pls nerf

 

If you don't want peeps to think you are asking for more nerfs do not say that in your title post

DD drivers are really upset about the Terrible patch that basically destroyed the IJN line with Nerfs  Be careful how you word things
