Team coordination is not very good. Some teams scattered all over the map. Some campers. The wins have only come when teammates acrually communicated and worked together. Some teams no one has even decide on an objective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 RELANIUM Members 1 post 5,546 battles Report post #11 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) It's been a rollercoaster for me. I have been playing for a week, getting 4 times to rank 9, then falling back to 12. I love playing ranked; however, I think that WG really needs to do something about nooblords that join a ranked battle just to die within the first 30 seconds. Also, I think WG needs to establish rank 7 as an irrevocable rank. This will protect better players from falling back to rank 12 due to mishaps in team matching over and over again.

11 [VF-10] Starfighter_Ace Members 42 posts Report post #14 Posted February 19, 2017 This is my first season of Ranked Play. Made it to Rank 15 by 33 games. Not sure if that's good or bad. Win Rates bounces between 45-49%. I have only won games playing my CV. CA and BB always loose. I also seem to be the last player on my team often. Win/Losses seem to go in batches: win 3, loose 3, win 2, loose 6, win 4, loose 2 and so on. I think your rank should be based on your Base XP, not wins. So many Teammates do just seem to show up, steam full ahead, and die. When you try to strategize, you get lots of salt thrown back at you. So I just do the best I can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 [SOTA] DadimusMax [SOTA] Members 7 posts 12,750 battles Report post #15 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Why are there no irrevocable ranks after 12? Got to 10 and 11 in a couple days of playing on and off . . . and then it's been the same as those above. I win 2, lose 4, win 2, lose 2, win 3, lose 1, etc. I've been back and forth between 10 and 11 probably half a dozen times. I'm at 10 now, and probably gonna quit playing ranked. Of the module bonuses they have for rewards, the only one I would really be interested in is at rank 4, and at this rate, the season will be over before I can get to 9. One suggestion is to change it so that the top 2 players on the losing team don't lose a star. I've played in a couple games where there were 2 or 3 guys really putting up a good fight, while the BB's hid behind rocks and tried to snipe at anyone that might come into their sights (in fact, that's just about most games we lose . . . what's it with BBs and camping/hiding behind mountains). This won't probably do anything to try and get the BBs to stop camping, but at least it won't get those of us cruiser/DD players so frustrated when we have a great battle, and then watch our BB's get destroyed as they sit behind a rock. An observation; it's become pretty clear that if your team has a Belfast, you pretty much have to really screw up to not win. And if your team has 2 Belfast, or a Belfast and a Fiji, then you are just about guaranteed a win. I can't count the number of times I've seen the Belfast/Fiji combo team up, get to a good spot, and then just sit and alternate smoking each other up while the DD/CV keeps everyone lit. There's really no counter to it right now in ranked play since the radar on T7 is so short that no one can get close enough to lite them up. Why put 2 Brit cruisers on the same team, and none on the other team? Bottom line; I'm at 10 now, and probably gonna go back to playing random . . . at least in random, you're not really expecting to have decent team play (although it's really enjoyable when you do ), I can division up with friends/other players who have a clue, and there are more ships to shoot at.

1,848 [ARRGG] CLUCH_CARGO [ARRGG] Members 5,770 posts Report post #17 Posted February 21, 2017 As far as ranked Battles go I am doing my best. Highest Rank I have made is 11. But If in a Ranked battle I think All Players that Are Playing should be rated as individuals. No Win Loss bonus until after the Ranks are tabulated so if your on the losing team but played better as an Individual to some Players who Died first on the winning team then you should be rewarded a star and move up. So many good players on Bad teams. They did more than their share only to lose. I saw three guys on a losing team who carried the rest of the team to lose by points and only the top player got rewarded with no loss of star , when all three should have. their Scores were far higher than 5 of the winning teams scores. If this is truly a ranking mode then individual scores should determine who wins the stars and who loses them 8 top players should get the stars. Win or lose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

29 [JSRF] Jet_set117 Members 169 posts 6,472 battles Report post #19 Posted February 21, 2017 There are to many shitters playing in ranked who are being carried to 10, the ranked matchmaking isn't going off random selection of players it uses the same as random, say I play CV and I finish first on my team due to overall play I get 2 kills and a clear sky, I will then get into a match with players who usually finish in the last two spots because the game says maybe this one good player can win but in ranked one player can't carry as far especially if they are in a Cruiser.

1 effinlunatic Members 3 posts 14,460 battles Report post #21 Posted February 22, 2017 Personally, not doing very good in ranked, hangin at 15. I'm kind of an aggressive player (shows in my survival rate lol), and if the rest of the team is cautious it's generally a loss. If the team coordinates, it's usually a win. If the team has an element of solo/yolo, it's usually a loss. At least in ranked, the fleet sticks more together (somewhat anyway), so the BB's at least get a screen. No screens is my peeve - and the normal lack of is why I put a fighter on my CO (BB's have very limited vision & cannot 'see' their full firing range, main reason for a screen imo, plus AA & it's a waste of shells when a BB has to try pick off DD's). Anyway, sure do enjoy the game. If I link up with an aggressive team in ranked - it isn't only a win, it's a schoolin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 [SALTY] Eliphas_The_Inheritor Members 18 posts 21,081 battles Report post #23 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Actual problems: -People have already pointed out that rank 12+ has no irrevocable ranks. Which means that ranks 5+ have inconsistent and long matchmaking wait with little diversity in players. There should be an "irrevocable" rank every time you reach a new "league"... not plastered all over the first few pointless ranks. -Sims... The "apparent" easymode ship with a base xp bonus where you are basically guaranteed to be top XP earner as long as nobody does substantially better than you. Pretty much just skews the whole mechanic about not using stars. Superficial problem: -The diversity of ships gets narrower until rank 5+ roughly consists of twice as many DD's as every other class of ship combined. CV's are effectively non-existent by that point, and BB's are almost completely turned into XP pinatas. Cruisers ironically having the most diversity despite Belfasts making up half of them. I've been floating around the border of rank 5 to 4 frequently, but get deranked to 6, 7, and now threatening 8. This isn't fun in any respect, and the reward doesn't seem worthwhile when compared to the sheer amount of stress.

24 UncleDirtNap Members 168 posts Report post #25 Posted March 1, 2017 How is the Rank Battles going for you? As fore me not so good. I made it up to 9th rank and dropped to 12th rank and for the last 3 days I've been there what the deal with that. This season of ranked battles is an utter farce. I started at 12 and have been win away from 8 more than a dozen times ... then the pay to win Belfasts start showing up, in pairs sometimes three on a side with no radar ships on the opposing side and it's right back down to 12 again. The ranked battles are ostensibly meant to measure skill to some degree by eliminating the disparities in tiers and ships but the presence of these pay to win ships, the Atlanta to a lesser degree as well, is having the opposite effect and those two ships are dominating every match they appear in unopposed. The most pathetic aspect of it all is these wallet warriors who rank out and act like their pay to win ships aren't the only reason they did acting and talking like they have skills.
