WoW is showing their appreciation for the time I spent working on the dockyard project! I'll use it in Ops. Oh, wait, I can't use it there. How about Clan... Nope! Not there either. Ranked? Nope! Brawls? No again! Oh, now I get it! WoW wants me to go into T2 for some seal clubbing! That should be fun for about 5 minutes. If you can think of another use for it, I'd like to hear it. It would be a shame to let such a wonderful gift go to waste! 3 6 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

182 SoothingWhaleSongEU Members 409 posts 26 battles Report post #5 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) The Protected Matchmaker for new players was extended to 200 games when they are playing tiers 1-4 with Patch 0.9.6 in July 2020. This cuts down on seal clubbing, and it tends to be a mix of bots and not entirely inexperienced placed whilst still giving full (if lower tier) random battle rewards. Low tier games can be their own daft fun at times. Edited February 8, 2021 by SoothingWhaleSongEU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's something to appreciate out of a game dominated by paper designs. With the state of low tiers as they are, anything below tier V is just something nice to look at in port or maybe work off a purple warning.

I looked and I haven't...... Maybe, the OP really is wondering if there is some real use for her, game wise ? If so, darned if I can see one. My Makarov at least, has a purpose: scenarios.

To a certain degree vs those of us with thousands of battles; sure. But after 200 matches they'll only still be in low tier if they've chosen to be/are progressing up more lines and they will still have had hours upon hours of playing the game and be very, very far from someone literally just starting. With this reroll account it took just the 3 mandatory co-op matches and 14 random battles to get to tier 5 and thus out of protected matchmaker. Now most of those were like 2 actual players on each side and the rest were bots because of both protected matchmaking and the fact I was playing during English timezones. Likewise I'm very much not a new players and my main account won't match the absurd slaughter I *technically* achieved in a Random battle clubbing low tier bots. However it's not miles off what a new player can do with a new account (you get a lot of extras early on these days) Edited February 9, 2021 by SoothingWhaleSongEU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
