So this happened today...

[LeetoF]

So I log in today to play a couple of games in my Taiho and I get this! Obviously I was killed (managed to actually down half the HP on the Izumo though) but my point isn't that. I get that we all complain about MM sometimes, but how can this possibly happen? I've seen it happen on a game posted by iChase once more (

). Is the game literally forcing higher tier CV players to stop playing them? Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have any ideas if this will ever be addressed in future patches?

Maybe you just got unlucky with the matchmaking and got yourself into a battle against an enemy divison.

When you see at the loading screen that there are 4 people in queue for your tier, what do you expect?  Bail out and go lower tier rather than waiting for this inevitable conclusion.  it's not like you didn't have 5 minutes to hit the "back to port" button.

 

It's pretty common knowledge that MM will take whatever it has after the 5 minute timeout.  If you didn't know before, you do now.

I saw the iChase video you mention. I've never had MM this bad on my CVs, but I have had the small teams problem when running my tier 10s. Between that and the wait I rarely take them out. Sometimes on weekends if the server population is high I'll play them. 

 

Like IvalidKey said, If I don't see at least a 2 for the number of CVs waiting and the rest of the types being a decent number I bail and pick another ship.

Thanks guys! I didn't know about the 5 minute thing. Guess I'll start to actually pay attention to the queue now.

you just have to take those battles with a bit of salt as they is little chance of avoiding them

 

e.g they was in the MM for 5+ mins as soon as you hit battle you end up finding a game and that match.

My guess is the 5 minute wait mechanic and CV same tier pairing mechanic screwing things up.

With the 5 minute mechanic the mm would just throw any ships it had matched to battle by 5 minutes, but the CV same tier mechanics would prevent that if there's no same tier CVs in queue.

So when other ships wait for 5 minutes they get put into another match while the CV player continues to wait, until a same tier CV player joins in and mm starts the match straight away. But if there's no new ships placed into the matching and all the other ships were taken out to other matches it could result in a CV facing another CV with his div.

I havnt seen any thing like that since I was pitted against a division of 3 Yamatos against my single Amagi.   I just plowed forward and took the beating like a man lol

[HBZK100]

Wow, yeah that is terrible matchmaking. I've noticed that divisons will do that to the MM.

 

[Frenotx]

Clearly MM just thinks you're so deadly, that it can only arrange an even match if you're 1v3. Take it as a compliment.

I'd ask WG for the Saipan for free if I was such a good CV player.
