Practically 10 matches the other night, and out of those, like 7 Horribly Lop Sided teams, Terrible matches, and many I couldn't penetrate anything. Wargaming is Sick in the head!

[@muskokamike127]

Let me ask you: did you have a series of good games where you were able to compete and get a reasonably good score at the end? I deleted the game when I noticed: I could have 2 or 3 or 5, competitive matches, my shots would hit, I'd pen, and even if I died, I did ok/well. THEN? the next 10 matches I couldn't hit the ground with my hat, my shots didn't pen, or went so wide they ended up on another map entirely. WG has designed it so that no one can ever get "gud" and do really well. RNG determines if you did really well and it upped your w/l ratio, it would hobble you to bring your avg back down.

[@baileyyeager1376]

Can you aim? What tank were you in and what tank did you shoot, and where on the tank

[@danam0228]

Main issue with lopsided games is RNG, +25% for one team, -25% for other, netting a 50% differential which is huge

MM is so bad in the game its soul crushing. I pretty much went from playing about 50 games a day about 5 days a week to maybe 1 day a week about 20 games. When you play in 20 games and get maybe 5 wins and absolutely stomped for the other 15 and then look at the team composition at the end of the games and see a lot of purple on the other team and none on yours its just frustrating. I stopped paying Wargaming for a premium account some time ago because of this matchmaking. I see no reason to reward them for screwing me over. The bottom line, I'm tired of being on the Pinata team, and if you are going to rig the game at least put me on the team with the purple players 50% of the time. What it really looks like they are doing here is putting the people who PAY THE MOST MONEY on one team and then select a team of decent average players who will put up a fight to make it look like they accomplished something when they steamroll them. There is no joy in the game anymore for me so I really don't play it much anymore. When the matches are just 3 minute steamrolls and you are always on the side that gets smoked there is no fun in it. Wargaming doesn't care because you don't pay them. It's literally an extortion thing. I'd rather just stop playing than be extorted. If Wargaming wants me to pay for a premium account they are gonna have to make it worth it where I get something out of it. I expect fair Matchmaking where both teams are equal so I have somewhat better of a chance than frosty the snowman riding a Honda through Hell in July.

[@petervoyt24]

You nailed it. I started playing in 2012 and I have never seen the MM this bad. I don't pay the bastards one red cent anymore. I play Armored Warfare or WarThunder now and have fun. The developers and programmers at WoT can kiss my ass. WoT is a complete joke. At this point I would NEVER recommend anyone start playing that joke of a game.

Yep, Match Making is trash, and always has been. it just took me this long to get so fed up with it, that I no longer play in randoms. I play Advances and skirmishes, and that is it. I just cannot handle the lack of skill the pubs offers anymore. The grind is too easy to tier 10, and the players who are there are as clueless as some new players in tier 3. So yah, I am done.

[@blackhawk7714]

Wargaming mafia decide who win before start the battle! MM and RNG! The battle random is not fair,just manipulated by Wargaming!

[@waling1976]

I absolutely agree, I have more than 32 thousand battles in the game. the course of the battles is decided from the beginning. in fact the game is just a pay to win game, if you buy you are included in the winners list but only for a short period of time, like an addict you have to pay to get a new dose of victories. I would also add that with the latest update many more bots have been included in the battles than before, which unbalances the battles even more.

[@crevette_farouche]

@@waling1976 Do you know what's funny about your comment? Thousands of players spend a few hundred yearly on the game, yet they have a 700WN8/46% win rate at best. The game isn't "pay to win". Bad players are too stupid to understand the more you contribute to your team (no, 1500 damage with your IS7 on average isn't contributing), the more battles you win.

[@Ktf2309]

[@CheckMate-g9u]

All WOT needs to do is match the teams according to win rate. I uninstalled WOT seven months ago due to that very reason. WOT is a racket that wants your money making people believe that if they buy premium tanks that some how your win rate will increase. This is far from the truth. I had been on WOT since 2012 and saw it go from bad to worse.

[@jack-xf6il]

3 blind kills is pretty good going - thanks Claus!

[@jeffms5068]

Hey Claus - Oh boy, now we have "The Butterfly Effect" in WOT, along with "The Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI)" of Quantum Mechanics. And here I thought it was just a case of the MM and RNG being a total mess and rigged as hell. But remember, if you're going for the MWI, it is *not* the case where you reach a decision point and your life takes a new pathway. Instead, each decision point creates a New Reality and a New You so that each You takes one of the possible paths in each reality. Thus, in Reality One, you wait for the green light and survive, while in Reality Two, you step off the curb and become a blot on the truck's radiator. There is a cool 2006 film called "The Prestige," directed by Christopher Nolan (several "Batman" movies & "Interstellar"), where two stage magicians are battling for supremacy. One develops a "trick" that literally creates two of himself so he can be in two places simultaneously, but with a twist! It's not precisely the MWI, but it's close enough to make an interesting movie (and includes Nicola Tesla, who provides the "trick").

[@kevinmcdonald6446]

Light tanks get Himmelsdorf, heavies get Prokhorovka. All tier 8s get only tier 10 matches, top tier is reserved for 10s. Simple.

[@stevewebster5729]

The matchmaking is utterly non random. It's WG's only way of ensuring that those who spend lots of money enjoy beating the crap out of people. Even if the whales are naturally crap at the game, they can still be put into matches wherein they can win...

Think the Grille's gas tank caught fire and killed him, because it had taken couple of secs to actually show it on the screen. While WT E 100 and 60TP both died instantly, all had gone stealth at the time they got hit.

I just don't see myself giving WG money because my battle was too fast. Win or lose. If the battles only last 3 minutes...Maybe the game is too easy and I should play something a lot harder and a bit more challenging, like Chess. But I cannot support rigged games.

[@thetexanbuzzsaw3145]

The reason matches are so short is because you can't spend any money when you aren't in the garage. sbm would cost wg trillions of rubles.

[@ianrichardson3968]

Short games last say 4 minutes give or take. How many you can get in hour? Game lasts 10 minutes give or take. How many you get in hour? Tank destroyed in number of games in hour. How many silvers it take to repair or replace tank, re-equip and stock with silver premium ammo? Or gold ammo if dumb enough? In hour of short game or longer game? Also if you know how build commander to 8 skill is short game or long game better?

But the question about those decisions we make is whether or not they are predetermined based on our previous experiences and the specific structure of our brain's bio-computations. Do we really even make choices, or do we only perceive them as choices when they are really entirely pre-determined. I think Edward O Wilson explained this best in his book, "On Human Nature".

So many players globally insist MM is out to get them. Paranoia strikes deep. Yet where are their suggestions for a better system? I have suggested many times a Chose your own side mates. option. Players opt in to a list as Captains or Fighters. Two Captains agree to battle at x tier and then chose their fighters from that list. Everyone on these lists have their WoT rating displayed leaving less chance for mismatches.

The Last 5 days I played 4/5 games with tierIV. None of them were regular MM. All the time all Light in one team and TD or Medium in the other. In tier 4/5 game several games i had games with 6 to 8 lights in one team with 1-2 in the other with same unbalanced distribution with medium and TD. Wargamming clearly doesn't give a shit for low tier. So if WG has no interest in low tier they should removed all or give all for free at least. It's totally unrespectfull. That's clear they are interested only for tier X and gamers who spend lot of money. I played this game for 10 years. It's outrageous how WG today manage the game.
