Decreased Gameplay Quality?

[Peregrinas]

Tonight, all of my games had worse quality than normal (i.e. the games were very lopsided). Anyone else see lopsided games tonight?

 

 Note my team's scores vs the enemy team's scores. Also the amount of dead players on either team.

 

 My team members' scores vs the enemy team's scores. I almost killed a full health Nagato while I was bouncing shots from three enemy BBs plus a few cruisers, hence my "high" score.

 

 Enemy team's score explains it all. This game, the entire enemy team (aside from one Colorado) went one way, while my team split in roughly half and I was in the group that went the other way and met no opposition at all, hence the really low scores on my team.

 

 Note my team's scores vs the enemy team's scores. We also only lost 3 ships vs 8 ships.

I played a dozen or so games tonight and only one game was "lopsided", happened to be a tier 10 game too. All the other matches were really even, more so than usual now I think about it. Just luck of the draw, I'm glad you had those games tonight and not me, but tomorrow .............

You're not alone.

 

What I've noticed, all it takes is 2~3 ships that YOLO, and get themselves killed, to turn the tides from even to major implosion.

It happens quite often.  A team has an advantage and tries to capitalize on that but end up extended to far without proper support.  The other side is as stated, the yolo'ers, charging into battle with hair a blaze and screaming LEEEEEROOOOY JEEEEENKINS!!! .

the team that has more discipline and works together better will almost always win. Oftentimes my most embarrassing losses are when we supposedly have the advantage on paper. As previous posters said, sometimes that team is overconfident and those top ships expect to rule the match and go off alone in search of glory....while the team at a disadvantage plays more conservatively and sticks together better.

 

Look at Ranked battles - notice they almost always stick together for the most part. Usually in those cases, the team that sets up their fleet best and keeps it together will win.

 

I know that "this is a f2p game so no teamwork will ever ever happen".... Fine, I'm just saying that the team with MORE cooperation than zero will have the edge.

Had a high tier DD on our side miss a broadside torpedo shot on enemy carrier 2.1 km away. Not even close, Survived long enough to come around and try again.... and missed...... cost us the game, the guy had 70 experience, and I was left questioning my faith in humanity. How can you reach T7 in DDs and not be able to torp a broadside carrier 2 km away?

At 2 km away? at that distance following the white aim indicator would lead you to a perfect hit on anything but another DD, I learned that as early as tier 2 in the CBT!

I see no problems here. Nothing wrong with a team dominating the other. If a team works together and the enemy team does not, they should crush them.
