Fix the MM

[_Gabby_]

So they come out with an announcement for WoT stating they know the MM is not good and are changing it. Don't they think WoWs MM needs a fix? My new T6 constantly up against decked out t8's takes all the fun out of it. Why do they do a 2 tier spread is beyond me. For those about to say waiting times, I say Id rather wait because not only did I waste time in queue I also waste time in an uneven game match. Which just means more wasted time, and not fun or fair matches. We all know this, so why don't they fix this. Really to frustrated to play this game anymore because of the MM so guess I will vote with my feet, and take my money else where.

Because it's easier to extract money from players playing high tier, than it is mid-tier....

WG has been doing well at forcing players up the ladder, unlikely to change.

First off. The team doing WoT is not the same one doing Ships. So if WoT changes, it doesn't mean s*** for WoWS.

 

Second, we as players don't like the MM, but too many wanted a safe kiddie pool for newer players, and WG gave them what they wanted and good old law of unintended consequences kicked in and the mid tiers gets screwed.

 

Third. Why they do a 2 tier spread, it's a challenge. You not always supposed to have fair or even odds. Why MM is "random". They go to +1 MM watch a bunch of ships get hit with a nerf hammer.

LOL!

Be serious Talon, the amount of seal clubbing going on at lower tiers now is worse than ever.

Now that the seal clubbers are protected from being uptiered, Tier 3-4 are now prime hunting grounds...

reducing the tier spread has all kinds of often unforeseeable consequences. The most obvious is some ships effectively become much stronger because they never see ships two tiers higher.

This is really for another discussion but the worst thing as I see it is it changed the gradual transition to the deep end into a drop off.

So you adapt. In this game, the battle chooses you. Only opportunity there for rewards so you can upgrade your T6.

 

Takes less than 20 battles (unless you play badly and get deleted all the time) to get enough XP and credits to upgrade your T6 ship. Speaking from my F2P account when I faced T6-8 in stock Ognevoi, Hatsuhara, Leander, Buddy, and Bayvern.

 

Yes, it's a pain getting uptiered. However, you can still be an asset to the team. Ryujo and Independence can spot the enemy team, with rare exceptions. NM can still citadel T8 cruisers and seriously hurt a cocky T8 BB.

 

You see the rest of us complaining? Just learn to get gud.

[_Gabby_]

Has nothing to do learning to get (gud). Has a lot to do with fairly balanced ships facing off against each other and not getting a 2 tier advantage which is just bad decision on the devs part plain and simple. Sure I can "hang in there" Be an asset, etc. But to me that's just trying to justify a bad MM. Why not just fix it? 1 tier apart? same tiers would even be better. Then fix op ships in that tier? Seems to me these "free to play games" all suffer from how to make people pay money, Id rather pay a subscription and just have balance. 

[Reymu]

-Enjoys F2P game-

-Whines about the only MM available--

 

Now if you want to "pay subscription and just have balance" buy the Scharnhorst. T7 so usually gets top tier, and handles fairly well against T8-9 ships with its DD-level speed and armor that can bounce 410mm AP.

[Furysghost]

Seriously l can see kidee pool for 1 to 2 max.... 3 or up no reason.

Most players will spend so little time in 1 to 4 why even bother?

 

It was a bust idea and now somebody is covering their butt and claiming its all good and working as intended cuz they're afraid to look bad to the bosses "CMA".

 

Hell they refuse to even acknowledge the issue here and never respond to it we have a thread with 45 pages put up by Pope_Shizzle for crying out loud!

Only way to get it changed is just keep up the pressure l guess which is sad but lt just needs to go away.

 

[awildseaking]

Anti MM shilling has to stop. This is the "remove SPGs" debate of the WoWS forum.

Speak for yourself.

Absolute rubbish. T3-T4 is less populated than T9-T10, second only to T1-T2. Not seeing T5 doesn't help clubbers. It reduces the player pool and forces the clubbers to fight each other. Playing against equally skilled players is counterproductive to the objectives of clubbing and has dramatically improved the low tier experience for genuinely new players. I feel bad for new players when new lines come out and experienced players have to grind through the low tiers, but at least it doesn't take that many games.

 

The facts don't support your claim either. There's been no such influx of skilled players into these so called vulnerable low tiers. There will always be the occasional stomper so long as T3/T4 premiums exist, but there aren't hordes of SU T10s descending on the vulnerable masses. T3-T4 has a healthy population, proving that new players are better equipped to practice their skills and become acclimated with the game. WG has kept the change despite thousands of posts from shills constantly necroing and upvoting their same lame arguments. WG knows it's helping; why are you still in denial?
