thank you WG for not investing time into the MatchMaker other than to play favorites

Well yet another MatchMaker fail, again and again and again.

 

FIrst off if you play any Fighter based CV you tend to get no cv to fight game after game.

 

Now it has been throwing in the tier 8s vs 5s, and the best was the last game...

 

Ocean map and one team has,,, wait for it.... you can guess it right? one team has the only CV and the only destroyer...

(How do you think that went over?), but wait there is more.  The CV team had 6 tier 8s and the non cv team had 2 but they did have 3 clevelands and a tier 5 cruiser to make up for it.

 

These guys need to seriously get their act together and look into the MM selections.

If you don't want people to play a fighter loadout on a US CV then take it out of the game  WG, and if you want to let the IJN carriers torpedo at will by stacking them in teams through the MM then just make them invulnerable or give them so much health that they can not be brought down.  Stop acting like this MM setup isnt the norm.  It is the exact same lie over and over again that was told to the WoT audience

Matchmaker will even out as more people climb the tech tree and the higher tier premiums come back. For now they have to throw the few higher tiers in with the lower tiers or make them wait forever for a match, add to that the lack of different classes at different tiers that it can't match up and MM has a conniption. It's frustrating but give it another week or two and it should get better.

Welcome to what happens when some go racing up the tree and some of us take our time or are on time constraints.

That's a load of crap to. WG has always had a f'd up MM. It was like that in WoT. They limit it to 2 tiers unless you're a light tank then you get 3 tiers. At least in this game you can still pen a high tier opponent unlike in WoT. So far the largest spread I've seen was 3 tiers for me. I was in my new Cleveland and sure as crapwas thrown into a tier 9 lobby. Needless to say I was sad to see that the idiot coder for MM hadn't been fired yet and was working on screwing up a 3rd game.

I guess in my 4+ years of playing WoT I never noticed. I hear it spoken of often, but I've never been in a match that was so horribly one sided that winning was impossible, especially since they've introduced the three tier spread. I've never gone up against tanks I couldn't hurt. It might be more difficult some matches than others, but never impossible. No I can't steam roll my way through every match which is what I suspect most people who complain about unfair balance is really crying over.

 

As far as WoWS goes the matchmaker has been pretty spot on since the latter months of alpha. The only time it took a turn towards the absurd is when there was a wipe or a spike of players and we are currently dealing with both. It'll even out, you have to give these things a little time.

You obviously never locked on to the tank and shot it square in the face, instead of taking the extra second to find that juicy sweet spot to slide your AP shell home in....errr....sorry got a little distracted by the description.

 

Ahh back to what I was saying, Rabble Rabble Rabble!!! NERF ARTY!!! And give me the Elven cloak that Frodo had because Warpack!!!

 

Wait...did I just slip off the deep end of believing my own [edited]? huh, maybe i should realize that I may not be that super Unicom-dalek I thought i was.

This is the truth.  And the whole "wait til there's more people and mm will be better" argument is an overplayed load of wishful thinking too.  I've played games in a tier 3 ship where one team had 7 tier 5s and the other had 3.  And it wasn't caused by the divisions in the match and there were over 10k players on the server at the time.  It was just plain crap mm at tiers where there are tons of players.  I dunno how many friends I've talked into playing WG games who subsequently quit because of the crappy mm.

Sometimes life gives you lemons. MM working as intended.
