I would like ranked to be fun instead of fling like you beat your head on the wall. Hopefully the new season will be good but wish 1v1 would come back Edited May 19, 2020 by lordholland4293 spelling 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, if they threw it in as a new gamemode, I would absolutely play this game so much more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus it would become very stale at the top end as only the meta ships will be played against each other. Edited May 19, 2020 by ITZ_ACE_BABY 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4,013 Parliament_Funkadelic Members 7,122 posts 24,850 battles Report post #11 Posted May 19, 2020 It was fun. Even we you were on the wrong side of the matchup it still was entertaining. Playing a DD against a BB and the BB never saw you the entire game....No matter what you wait till the Mass is below 40k before you yolo rush him in the Hipper, 6 torps only nets 40k damage, 4 times I tried....lols.

311 [TORCH] Midshipman_Hornblower [TORCH] Members 868 posts 22,991 battles Report post #12 Posted May 19, 2020 I personally didn't like the 1v1 format. It DOES have it's good points - #1 on the list being that it generated NO "my teams are so bad" wailing on the forum. My problem with the 1v1 format was that, for me, at least, winning was less a matter of personal skill, and much more about WHAT you were matched against. Being a cruiser guy, I played a CL. In my battles, I nearly always won if matched against a DD, and nearly always lost of matched against a CA or BB. Against other CLs, I was somewhere near 50%. I quit fairly early, because as soon as I saw what was on the other team, I could pretty well predict who would win. Oh yes, there were exceptions, like the one (and only) time I beat a BB, but the only reason I beat that BB was that the guy driving it made every mistake you could possibly make. So no. 1v1 was much too rock/scissors/paper for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,326 [BGA] Skuggsja [BGA] Alpha Tester 3,939 posts 30,853 battles Report post #14 Posted May 19, 2020 1v1 Ranked Sprint was awesome. The only class I didnt mess with was Destroyers because I'm not good in them, really. The best part was the humble pie it served everyone when they played their OP ships and still lost. I dont think many actually ate the pie they were given, but it was offered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,993 [SOFOP] Old_Baldy_One Members 2,647 posts 16,644 battles Report post #16 Posted May 19, 2020 1v1 was fun, but I also have a Tirpitz. If they isolated it to same class (BB v BB, DD v DD) I think it would be interesting. Its a waste of flags though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with this. 1 v 1 is nice for a sprint and that was a nice change of pace but a full season would get boring. Even in the sprint season it was flooded with Tirpitz. Which is fine for a few days but 4-6 weeks in a full season would get frustrating because it’s more about having the right ship than having the skill to carry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,797 RainbowFartingUnicorn Members 5,055 posts 14,302 battles Report post #18 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) 1 v 1 was amazing. I went counter-meta with Le Fantasque and a strategy that basically boiled down to 1. All ahead full, 2. Pop speed boost, 3. Torpedo Joust. I had probably a 12% better win rate than usual for me, first time I ever had a unicum rating for a PvP game mode. 6 hours ago, ITZ_ACE_BABY said: whoever has the most points wins, get a cap and a points lead then just cheese an easy win by ramming 3 hours ago, clammboy said: I didn’t see that happen in any of my games if I remember correctly .

Maybe they could do a different tiers every 2 days like tier 3 and 4 then tier 6 and 7 and so on so same ships cant be used over and over till you rank out .
