Ranked Games = Great Fun!

[Silver_not_grey]

I'm just a slightly below average player who has only been playing a couple of months; however, ranked games have been the most enjoyable experience so far.

 

Why?

• ​Games are fast paced and brutal, allowing you to quickly build up XP, Free XP, Credits, and Captains Skills.  For example, although I work full time and only play in the evenings and I blew through the Kirishima Challenge in only three evenings (exclusively playing ranked).
• Queues are short, especially if you play in the evening.  I have never had a queue longer than 1.5 minutes.
• You get exposure to some great players and tactics, allowing you to become better.
•  Matchmaking is balanced, but a bit streaky (which adds to the fun).  Through my first 100 games I had 50 wins and 50 losses, then I went on 17 game losing streak.  I got back up, dusted myself off, reviewed my mistakes, and now I winning again.

 

I may never get past rank 10, but I'm ok with that as the game is still fun.  However, there a few changes that could make the game more fun:

•  With the Shattered map, please do not initially place IJN DDs away from the main group.  Currently with the Shattered map, IJN DDs are usually placed opposite of the main group.  This inevitably leads to someone instructing the IJN DDs to take B, which is tantamount to suicide (miserably slow turret rotation, slow long range torpedoes, and slow torpedo reload rate).
•  Please give us an option to mute specific players in Chat (maybe there is one already), similar to the /ignore command in other games.
•  Please provide an explanation of how points are earned during a game, e.g., how many points do you receive for capping, or defending a cap.
•  When a DD is scouting out front, do something to show others who is detecting their targets for them, maybe change the color of the detecting ship to orange on the minimap.

Not fun when you are highly competitive and half your team brings in stock tier 6 ships...

 

 

END MY SUFFERING!

I love the teamwork of ranked battles, everyone (most of the time) works together for the victory, and wants to work with others more.

The information on the ticket earnings are viewable in the loading screen as well as on the scoreboard (TAB default).

Endless domination games where DD drivers have to suicide rush tiny caps every single game? No thanks. Season 2 and 3 burned me out of all that. I ahve too many ships I can play in Randoms now and have a lot more fun than Ranked.

ranked battles are a waste of time like team battles, takes to long to join battle, tons of vulgar language, and players who would rather dictate actions from being dead than to participate in said battle. all in all only team killers should be assigned to players who lone wolf said matches and avoid combat as much as humanly possible. and for the rotten sub moron species that works at WarGamming TM over use and abusive use of players who turned pink without any accountability is old if we were not allowed to Team Kill im sure you would make it so we couldnt

Yeah, it's great... When it actually happens.... Kudos to whatever twists of electronic fate landed you on so many wonderful teams.
