rating-battles

[kindred flower]

What a shame, now that I have got Lorraine Fearless, I don't feel like playing rating anymore. The closest I was to top 10 was at 6200 pts in November last year

[river wasp]

is tvp good for rating battles?

[woven pilot]

Yes and you’ll meet a lot of TVPs in ratings I think

[elder thicket]

Red gets the same MM you do...

[young rune]

having 4 guys who did nothing in the battle don't see that on the other teams in today's MM

yoooo let me know - to @woven pilot : can't always do high dmg if ur team is not even helping you

[woven pilot]

Fun fact: I see calibration as if I was earning points. When you lose, you can still earn points and in your case, you would have gotten the points so yeah
And I did ratings yesterday as well won 7/10, 4200 something but I used Anni
Apparently you have more chance to gain points if your shots hits the enemy
Also, another thing I could suggest to you, take a look at this
https://na.wotblitz.com/en/content/rating-battles/
I’ve learned things that I didn’t know it could make a difference between gaining points or no (See: Keys factors)

can't always do high dmg if ur team is not even helping you
As some said, teammates rarely exists in Ratings. Some works alone by going at the opposite direction of the team just to farm DMG and get the points. Yes, yesterday I faced that problem as well but remember it’s just the first day so it’s normal to have such teammates.
i mean never went to gold until now always got to platinum

I went to gold several times so i’m kinda used to it. I also got teammates with 0DMG yesterday thought I carried but still if you have enough, you could play later or just the next day
Someone told me if he doesn’t get points for like 3 times in a row, he stops for the day
"Unlucky day" yes there is days like that

[young rune]

i mean never went to gold until now always got to platinum had at least 5 bad teams with minimum one player doing 0 dmg maybe unlucky day / thx you bro

[woven pilot]

You’re welcome and feel free to ask us if you need anything

[wind moon]

Berty#0906 has been warned.

[young rune]

how is that possible ??? talking about mm getting warned for something i didn't do ( " shaming people " here is the thing never said their ign, never said they are bad (specifically this guys), i only talked about mm ) . oh well thx i guess <@&481447501690568709>

[pastel olive]

someone can explain me ? we can get 40 part of the lorraine ?

[young rune]

yes in platinum Toppest league and diamond league

[pastel olive]

ooh so we can get it quickly in 2 or 3 season ? ig (if i'm in the top player platinum)

[young rune]

top player in platinum or in diamond league yeah but the more time u take the more the rewards gets harder to get due to the other people being top league

[elder thicket]

I can't tell action in a battle just by damage. Destroying the threats , the good players are hard to even get a hit on in the first couple of minutes even if you get to see them that is .
there are many many things you have to do to win besides hit the tank in front of you.
a lot of times it more depends on keeping guns in the game and focus fire most of the time that's it.
it's very easy to farm damage to a loss.
Often it will be better to withdraw and leave guns silent to go help keep an Ally alive .

[muted shuttle]

You posted a screenshot complaining about your team members

Don’t act innocent now

[young rune]

team members nah show me a message mentioning them ??? with their names edit : how is a picture shaming people ??? i showed that picture for Match Making i get that's different than shaming, i could have said " Look at this guys who did 0 dmg and mentioned their in game name " which i didn't cuz my intentions were different that it seems like for you.

[muted shuttle]

Obviously I have deleted it

Stop discussing the moderation and read the rules. Seems like you struggle a lot with comprehending them

[ornate spoke]

Now that's alot of points holy guacamole

[woven pilot]

Lol

[willow aurora]

thats not entirely true

[willow aurora]

n4to invader momento 💀

[analog jungle]

I normally tend to play light/meds and I like to steal points from good heavy player. I play heavies from time to time to get faster mm or I’m grinding camo

Idk how long the is6 fearless was out for (2 years it think) but maybe this fall szn new tank or definitely next year for sure

[analog jungle]

Someone told me if he doesn’t get points for like 3 times in a row, he stops for the day

Lol me

[analog jungle]

On NA top 50 sometimes is high platinum league so they get parts.

You can earn the tank in 3 months minimum (2-3 szn depending on if you do one 2 month and 1 normal or 3 normal months). The max you can get on EU is 40 parts being top 25. So you can get top 25 once and top 100 twice (30 parts). A two month event give max 80 parts for top 25. So the next month you just need to be top 150 (20 parts). Or in my case equivalent top 100 for 2 month szn (60 parts) and top 25 (40 parts).

[analog jungle]

EU is built different, top 30 is like over 6k, reaching diamond or high plat (no parts for them) means nothing. That’s why they think it’s weird that NA thinks diamond is an achievement but you’re actually top 50 players lol.

[analog jungle]

Correct, rating points are measured by xp. Top xp on a losing team wins points not necessarily top dmg. You can win points by spotting tanks and get assists while doing little dmg. Example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/519167667874299906/1040017866117881926/image.png

[nimble wadi]

Is WG giving away something special this month for top ratings players?

[median kettle]

Dont taunt me!!!!

[nimble wadi]

Lol. Seriously though. I keep getting some.. interesting.. teams in the calibration. Like when they were giving out the IS-6 Fearless.

[median kettle]

Less gooooo. Also rip finally hitting a wall where I can't play cuz queue time is increasing.

[willow aurora]

nice

[nimble wadi]

Ah I had the serial selfish player on my team again. So tired of that guy. He’s everything wrong with ratings.

[median kettle]

First up to 4700 this season less gooo

[willow aurora]

sir theres multiple of those types of people

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora This one is my personal nemesis. Well not so much a nemesis as a pain in the nether region.

[willow aurora]

amazing

[woven pilot]

I wasn’t sure if it was you or Jules

[analog jungle]

Too high too fast

[ornate spoke]

I have a feeling considering how high ppl are getting so quickly that to get top 5 you'll probably need above 5.3k rating, idk tho could be wrong

[willow aurora]

this was the double season for oct-nov, i dont have the top part unfortunately https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/613134761359179816/1047252319454113923/661690BF-D34D-4EC9-BD2A-20C5450DF528.jpg

[analog jungle]

Top 5 was 5.6k last szn

[ornate spoke]

Oh, that scares me a bit since I only can play ratings for 2 hours then go to work so hopefully I can get up quick enough, was hoping it wasnt 6k cause I can't do that 😂

[analog jungle]

Only problem is if you go too high too fast it’s 15+ q times. That’s 8 battles in 2 hours at around top 10 ish

Just maintain top 20 entire szn and push for top 5 last week. Also I saw a lot of old ratings sweats on.

Top 10 was 5.4K

[ornate spoke]

Thank you for the tip. This is my first time actually commiting to getting top and so far going great, I also have seen old rating sweats and that is another downside. If I don't get top 5 then I can for sure get the 40 parts and just keep doing that and get fearless in end of march
Unless they do the 2 months next month then idk 😐

Saw last year in January and highest was 5.4k and I was shocked

[analog jungle]

Dec-March statistically has the lowest ratings points to reach top 10.

You just need to be top 20 once and top 30 twice.

[woven pilot]

The two month is normally March - May iirc

[analog jungle]

April-May*
Oct-Nov

[ornate spoke]

Good relief to hear it's statistically low these first months, hopefully it remains like that, better chances

[woven pilot]

Oh okay good to know
Yes I agree with you, I really want the Fearless

[analog jungle]

Get top 5 ez

[willow aurora]

i should push top 5 this season just for funny 😎

[analog jungle]

There are people who only play ratings for the gold. I know they have the fearless.

[willow aurora]

yeah me to, im not dedicated enough to push top 5 this season anyway lol

[mortal hull]

Use that dedication for poking the grass outside. I know I need that dedication too

[kindred flower]

what is grass?

[mortal hull]

the antithesis of gaming

[willow aurora]

No

[willow aurora]

how did bro bypass the filter so easily 💀💀

[nimble wadi]

What are you talking about?

[willow aurora]

the eu x ru merge 😂😂😂

[woven pilot]

🤔

[woven junco]

Which tank do you prefer guys in rated tier VII? Which is best performing for you?

For me it is IS, but this season I want to try something different. Which tank should I pick? (I wanna play 50 battles in it for camo 🙂)

[mortal hull]

The obvious answer would be an Anniliator or Smasher (since OP tier 7), but if you’re looking for a tank you can put a camo on, Tiger 1 or Tiger P could work. T29 is also an option. I don’t remember the playstyle of the IS, but if it’s working out for you, it wouldn’t hurt to stay on the IS.

[sharp rain]

wow

[ornate spoke]

elaborate

[sharp rain]

oh man i got worse team today

[wind moon]

stint#5304 was muted

Hyksix#0001 was muted

Pancho#4968 was muted

[narrow creek]

Maybe all the Russian players could change region to NA that would solve the waiting time for battle and also the problem of russian players in EU

[ornate spoke]

goodluck today in ratings gamers

[woven pilot]

You too as well

[sullen ginkgo]

I wonder whether you get more points if you are in platinum league and more players are in diamond league. Could anyone elaborate on this?

[analog jungle]

No you get points based on your rating and the amount of xp you gained in the battles. The higher rating you are the less points you earn.

[nimble wadi]

I’m shooting for bronze this season! 🤣🤣🤣 All the way to the bottom!!

[ripe copper]

Anybody give me pls a recommendation on which tier 10 is the worst for rating (i wanna suffer abit)

[narrow creek]

Maybe 183

[buoyant hearth]

worse? maybe a tank destroyer, but in the right hands anything can be deadly

[woven pilot]

Try Foch 155 and see it’s probably not the worst tier 10 in ratings but i’m going to work rn so I can’t really think

[hushed tiger]

Sorry for the quality of the video, but I was recording with another phone🍅

[ripe copper]

That's actually a good one, foch is one of my top tds

[ripe copper]

50b is fun in rating though

[nimble wadi]

Nice!

[nimble wadi]

Teams are absolutely terrible

@random oar The tier 7 or 8? I thought the 8 was the best.

I keep getting terrible teams

[willow aurora]

welcome to NA ratings

[median kettle]

weak brother you can do better

[willow aurora]

not me calibrating at 3.7k because i played like a monkey

[woven pilot]

I have a 17% WR with 9 games in regular 💀 it was 2-3AM when I was playing it
I played Foch 155 in ratings months ago, I was able to get the Platinum camo on it
I had a average of 2100 dmg iirc

[median kettle]

That was what I calibrated this season. I'm kinda gaming this season. Having a good night so far too already 4 increases in ratings tonight

Also I would give a lot to have a waiting room chat to talk with the boys while waiting in queue. Starting to recognize some of the players this season. I think that's my favorite part of the ratings

[nimble wadi]

I calibrated so low there’s no point in trying

[willow aurora]

my friend calibrated at 3.3k and ended on top 5 in a previous season 💀

[median kettle]

It's actually so much easier to just calibrate high up just takes so many fewer games. Pushing up 2k rating takes forever

[dreamy summit]

how long does it take for y'all to load into a game?

[nimble wadi]

I keep getting teams of calibrating morons. Had a guy with 300 total battles in an IS6 that did nothing plus the team just evaporated.

[median kettle]

depends tonight it's been about 5 minutes but can also get into a game immediately if I just got out of one and join quick/get lucky. I'm also pretty high rating so not going to be the same for you most likely. Oh yea lol my b but yea its been pretty good tonight. Last night was pretty bad

[dreamy summit]

I'm right under you lol

[mortal hull]

There seems to be a higher number of people in queue than normal in ratings, which motivated me a little bit more to play ratings. It's also helping to reduce queue times I think

[analog jungle]

It’s a lot of the older ratings player we haven’t seen for months

[nimble wadi]

I’m tired of the teams already. It’s win one go up. Lose one go down. I can’t get two wins in a row.

[willow aurora]

thats why the points system exists

[median kettle]

Idk the e2 is really busted too I have a 75% actual win rate in rating but probably closer to 80% of games I’m getting points

[narrow creek]

In this season Im pretty lucky my teams are solid and I do around 2,5-3 k dmg i my kv 5

[willow aurora]

asia and eu have it easier compared to NA

[narrow creek]

Thats true

[median kettle]

Lmao only played like 6-7 games today and am still in second place

[oak ridge]

Why? Just WHY is the Ratingbattle in January 2023 SUPREMACY ONLY???? I have NOT seen any ratingbattle in encounter this month. YES! MONTH! It is somehow supremacy only. That makes skillbased ratingbattles a lot harder. :(((

[tiny basin]

cry

[light cave]

@wind light what’s your player id?

And you played 50 battles on the tank to get the camo, right? @wind light

I will ask to check!

[oak ridge]

Just had my first encounter based ratinggame. Nice surprise! Looks like it is fixed.

[sharp path]

Bruh, i Had Lots of Encounter Games already

[woven junco]

I am so frustrated today with rated... Almost every single battle my team has 2 tanks dead within first minute... And it is almost impossible to win 5v7 or 5v6... Very very bad matches today, very bad players today.... 20 battles, 14x lose 6x win... Went from 4100 to 3900... I am so frustrated and sad.

[elder thicket]

Is the same control mode setting enabled in ratings battles ? Thanks

[agile sphinx]

No, there is nowhere near enough players on the small servers for it to work

[analog jungle]

Ratings is designed to have close to a 50% wr so don’t focus on winning every battles. Focus on being the most effective player (top xp) regardless of winning or losing. This removes how your good/bad your teammates are from the equation because it’s up to you to perform well. In ratings, if you can convert some losses into points or lose less points on a loss you automatically climb ratings.

Trying to win every battle in ratings is setting you up frustration. The pros aren’t worried about losing, they’re worried about not being top xp (not gaining points on a loss).

Check to see if you have the camo on another tank. If you have the same amount of battles on another tank it sometimes messes up and puts the camo on that tank even though it displays the tank you want. That’s why I play 1 extra battle to make sure I have the camo on the desired tank.

[agile sphinx]

Ratings is only designed to have a 50% wr when you actually get to "your rating" (although that still isn't the case at all), up until then you should be winning more and trying to win more. Top players don't focus on winning because when trying to lose on high xp they end up winning an adequate amount anyway.

[median kettle]

I don’t understand why people don’t get this. The entire point of ratings is just points.

[ornate spoke]

and here you're effectively doing so with t54e2

[dreamy summit]

20 minutes and still not in a game. Same experience for y'all?

[ornate spoke]

na

Took me 26 mins to get into first match of the day in ratings, we won tho so 👍

[elder thicket]

It's not a mobile game anymore sadly

[mortal hull]

I love cute lil 60%ers spamming 752 yet still struggling to get out of gold league capt corn

[buoyant hearth]

Ooof

[mortal hull]

what sucks more is that somehow players with higher stats are sucking more than me 😔

[elder thicket]

I'm sorry I was overly harsh, you're not what sucks about this game . it is the stat obsession and the lab rat game style that sucks

[mortal hull]

The only stat I really care about is damage, but even then that's a stretch because I just remind myself it's a mobile game. The only thing that really pisses me off in regards to stats is rerolls acting high and mighty over something like "100% wr in 1 battle", older 60-70% players being toxic from high ego, or those same 60-70%ers making the most obvious of mistakes and pretending they didn't throw the easiest game of their lives

Also no worries, I don't really think of myself at Fatness levels of skill

[elder thicket]

I get it, shat staimers are the worst aspect by far .many of us I had to suffer through plus 2 minus 2 matchmaking and 25% of the player base hacking

ask them what their in-game name is on the PC version to get a more accurate depiction of there learning curve, because no one downloads this game and gets purple stats in tier one two and three without rerolling

ELO rating is the only skill based metric in this game

[muted shuttle]

I’ve been around since 2011 or 2012 and I can’t remember one time meeting a hacker to be fair

[nimble wadi]

I lived through the +2/-2 MM years, the team kill era, all the original maps that have now been redrawn, and spare parts.

The thing that is most infuriating is re-rolls that think they are somehow the best player on the server because they have a purple number.

[elder thicket]

I laughed because I forgot about friendly fire.
I'll take a green with 50k battles over a purple with 10k anyway

[elder thicket]

Hit skins were a thing in version 1

[tawdry willow]

I understand where you’re coming from, but I’ll take the purple 😂

[willow aurora]

just depends which has a “better 30d” ig, because i’ve seen 60-70%ers who have 70% of their games in a tier 5 or something 😵‍💫

[glossy raptor]

Not hacks though

[elder thicket]

@glossy raptor hacked skins , module location markers

[willow aurora]

imagine needing a skin to know the module locations on tanks instead of just memorising and learning them 💀

[glossy raptor]

That’s more like a cheat and anyone could really learn module locations, like Pigrock said. I’d consider hacks to be more like aimbot and stuff like that.

Probably shouldnt talk about this topic in the rating channel though.

[muted shuttle]

Theoretically you could create a camo for each tank which would show where each module is

Can’t really call that a hack

Sure but not a hack in my opinion

[mortal hull]

I haven't really memorized the ammo rack locations of the is-7 and 60tp yet 💀

[willow aurora]

the 60tp? everywhere

[nimble wadi]

@elder thicket Sometimes I wish friendly fire was still a thing. So many times I’ve waited for an annoying tank to poke and right when I fire, it gets blocked by a teammate! 🤬

[elder thicket]

Most Russian tanks are rear right side turret and I S 7 is right side of hull fwd

[tame walrus]

I have one suggestion, ban the russians who are bad for the game in general, especially those who are very toxic and constantly ruin the game by arguing with each other. Or just restrict these people so they can't write bad things about parents etc. I feel sad when I see these people. they don't know that some people understand them.

[analog jungle]

“Once you reach your skill level”

People who aren’t good at the ratings will reach that ceiling earlier hence they will have a 50% wr sooner than better players. It’s not feasible for them to win more because they already reach their limit. They have to change their play style to progress higher.

[willow aurora]

the most unreal thing i've seen all week

[median kettle]

Nah your stats are recoverable from that. Although that was not fun to play with

[ornate spoke]

anybody had to wait 20 mins for a battle

[willow aurora]

welcome to top 20 ratings, it gets worse the higher you are

[median kettle]

getting into that first game is the worst after that you are in a small pool of players getting into games pretty quickly from my experience

[ornate spoke]

i had a feeling that being in the top would make it painful in terms of waiting for a battle and waiting 10+ mins just to loose points.
im just trying to get to 4800 and call it a day there lol

[median kettle]

Rip I'm making a push for diamond atm. Making some decent progress

[ornate spoke]

i saw your really close dude you got it, im literally 1 good game away from 800 and i can quit for today, i been on since 3 😂

[median kettle]

Rip that was a really rough game. feels bad to wait 10 mins and have our worse than afk borsig. Game was unwinnable. Had 1 just immediatly die and then our borsig\

[ornate spoke]

yeah that was a rough one, i ve encountered 3 others that where afk,
if they followed you and emil i believe you guys would of had it

[willow aurora]

30 minutes for a 7-0 sweep tysm wargaming

[dreamy summit]

Don’t rush yourself 🙂

[ornate spoke]

yeah we are in the first starting days of rating and you have made really good progress so dont rush yourself too much and have to wait 30 mins for a battle 💀

bro EU is built different i could not get there that quickly

[willow aurora]

be grateful NA isnt EU, their at like 5.6k
nevermind their at borderline 6k

[dreamy summit]

They have more players doing ratings which is nice though

[ornate spoke]

tables have turned after that match, that was rough for me

[willow aurora]

having more players is good and bad, vice versa

[median kettle]

sadge yea have had a couple rough games tonight. Started good and then have had a couple real bad games

[ornate spoke]

dude that was nerv racking
i couldnt pen the emil and was just a bit confused on where to go

[median kettle]

Bruh holy the queue times have been so bad for me 😦 need to get 1 more point increase for that 5k. Yea that canervon was just refusing to go fight the wz. Nah running was really good you just needed to live if you die it might be a loss

Aight sick got it on the last game of the day. Clutched up. Only took 57 games

[ornate spoke]

gg gamers well done today, i got back to 5th place so im vibin

[woven pilot]

Today I got ups and downs but I finished strong with 7 wins in a row
4450 right now which is already good, haven’t played a lot today but 53TP works better for me than the previous seasons

[median kettle]

Oh yea also only 57 games to hit diamond this season kinda crazy

[woven pilot]

I bet it’s a personal record NA record maybe ? Nahh I don’t think so but still it’s very impressive

[ornate spoke]

meanwhile im struggling in pain

[median kettle]

Def a personal record. I’ve only got diamond a couple times cuz I get lazy and don’t always make the final push. @ornate spoke helps to just start the season at 4400 lol

[woven pilot]

I failed my push during the two months season lol

[ornate spoke]

you right, higher calibration is a huge advantage, my personal highest calibration was 4630 which i have never been able to do again

[median kettle]

I just got lazy and busy and didn’t do it. Got bored due to high queue times

[woven pilot]

I ran out of time last time
And yes i'm starting to experience high queues time rn again and it's annoyin

[tiny basin]

i am only at 4.3k rn because i do dumb stuff at times and yk EU server stuff

[willow aurora]

i got like 240 points within 16 games today 💀

[mortal hull]

NA players more active on the #rating-battles channel than actual ratings mode it seems

[ebon coral]

Well in EU we don't have this problem, which makes me question why the hell does the MM not take a few more seconds to actually put a equilibrated amount of lower tier and upper tier, so there is not like 2 tier IX playing with 5 tier X

My T-54 can't do crap against Type 71 :'(

[willow aurora]

playing a tier 9 on na means you go up against tier 10s a good 80% of the time

[molten shore]

Tier 9 sucks anyways. You’re locked with big bois and eventually get slapped by a random 183. No fun

[abstract abyss]

Tvp broken

[sharp rain]

anti mosquito

[tiny basin]

when you get into high ratinf lobbies the only tanks being used are tvp, stb1, sheridan, type71 and a few fv4005

[sharp path]

Nah, i saw Carro and Strv K far more often than a sheridan

[abstract abyss]

Havent seen a single fv 4005 in 20 rating battles

[tiny basin]

nah there are minimum 2 sheris in every game

@abstract abyss they are not as popular as the other tanks but they do exist and if they are being used it often ends in a heartbreak

[sharp path]

What Rating were U at Last season, because i saw a sheri every few Games at Most, sitting at 5.7k rating

[mortal hull]

You know what, I might play for a camo on STG

[abstract abyss]

I agree about the sheridans

[willow aurora]

💀

[tiny basin]

it is not even that bad

@sharp path i was at 5.2k

[tiny basin]

this is what EU server looks like bruv

[nimble wadi]

@tiny basin I see nothing wrong. Heavy tanks are really good at being TDs. 🤣🤣🤣

[tiny basin]

the EU server is so trash, i can't get higher up because of the team always splitting up and one side getting butchered while some heavies are still in Narnia

duh

[solemn jacinth]

who knows today's big boss tournament is the last one?

[woven pilot]

Wrong channel to ask this

[nimble wadi]

@random oar Yes. Ratings is you and you alone.

[nimble wadi]

@tiny basin It shouldn’t be that way. However the way the points work you have to worry about yourself.

[ornate spoke]

goodluck today in ratings

[mortal hull]

that luck only applies if i can get into a match (9 min so far) 💀

[dreamy summit]

your luck sounds nice (22 minutes)

[mortal hull]

the struggles of being #1

[ornate spoke]

being top 5 is destined to wait 10+ mins 🤣 💀

[dreamy summit]

NA doesn't have enough people so reaching that high is pretty hard (33 minutes)

[mortal hull]

1 hour gang?

wow, i really just gained points on a loss in a no-equipment stg @ornate spoke
yes, touch grass @dreamy summit

[dreamy summit]

I gave up, I'm just gonna do something else

[ornate spoke]

i just realized that was you, bro how lol
idky the wz went around and t54 followed that was odd

[mortal hull]

stg must be secretly broken
also anyone know when the next session of discounts is gonna come (like the ones with the increase in daily multipliers, discount on equipment, etc), cause i kinda want to get equipment on the stg?

[ornate spoke]

i was in a good spot then your guys t77 changed our left flank and that went downhil FAST
@mortal hull im not sure it might be in the chinese new year event maybe? stg is a really good snap shot cause of the aim time, its a fun tank

[low nexus]

bro ur all so bad at ratings

[remote spade]

How many reactions

[ornate spoke]

i went to make fruit punch and made a sandwich and still in queue 💀

[nimble wadi]

@random oar If you mean teams that make you play even harder than it should be, yes. It’s definitely sweaty season.

[mortal hull]

no equipment too 💀
that should've been a win, but emil yolo'd and idk why the charioteer from RVL just sat back

[ornate spoke]

i tried to give tier 8 a chance and that made me go down a bit, not doing tier 8 again lol

[ornate spoke]

30 mins no battlee

[mortal hull]

omg, i forgot i bought the amx cda from the auction, but i already invested most of my tier 8 battles into the stg

[ornate spoke]

nice job, rng was in your favor

[mortal hull]

true

[willow aurora]

😂

[median kettle]

Sorry bro I think we both have to be playing to get into games

[woven pilot]

I’m a bit braindead but i’m going to do groceries hope I get better later lol

[median kettle]

What you grinding this season?

[ornate spoke]

it seems if the top 10 players are on at once you can get in a battle below 10 mins but if not then goodluck 💀

reached diamond, now the real struggle begins since its harder to get points

[willow aurora]

dont forget the queue times

[ornate spoke]

yeah no that is just a add on to the package pretty much lol

[dreamy summit]

how long is your wait time now?

[ornate spoke]

ranges from 8-20mins
a good bit of high ranked plats are on rn so you have a good chance

[willow aurora]

when you tell the heavies to come meds side because all their team would go meds side but they dont listen because you have GravityForce23 on you’re team and you lose 😔

[dreamy summit]

got in a match in 2 minutes

[ornate spoke]

bruh, ok MM i see how it is

[nimble wadi]

While I’m not as good as you all, I’m proud of this one.

[willow aurora]

im playing on brain dead mode soo 💀

[woven pilot]

Same but i’m back and feeling better, i’ll play later

[ornate spoke]

💀

[dreamy summit]

got into two battles while you waited lol

[ornate spoke]

bro what tier are you in, if you in tier 8 and up thats why probably

[willow aurora]

tier 7 gets worser queue times the higher you’re up

[woven pilot]

Can confirm

[dreamy summit]

bruh I know we losing when Covil is on my team. They always play in the back and don't do anything until the end.

[ornate spoke]

there are certain ppl who if on my team i have to purposely switch my playstyle just to do enough to get points on a lose cause its mostly going to be one, so i feel you

[willow aurora]

if you have __Alone in you’re team and hes in a mt lt you might as well consider you’re team down a mt

[ornate spoke]

if you see me in a light tank in ratings, be prepared for me to be garbonzo, but i only use a light tank in calibration

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora He makes me wish for the old days of friendly fire.

[ornate spoke]

atleast we dont got +2 MM anymore 💀

[nimble wadi]

I kinda think it would help. You had to learn to play better then.

[willow aurora]

anni against a 752 😵‍💫

[ornate spoke]

understandable have a lovely day

[woven pilot]

Hard time to pen it

[ornate spoke]

ima end there, good day today. hopefully rest of you guys had good progress

[willow aurora]

i had funny tournament so i didnt make much progress

[woven pilot]

I was thinking about doing it but yeah

[ornate spoke]

i honestly forgot about the funny tournament

[dawn arch]

Can someone please explain my this

[ornate spoke]

your dmg is high, but if you only where just doing dmg and you didnt get any assisted dmg/spotting assistance dmg/spotting tanks/kills/capture zones, then you will loose points still regardless how high your dmg is

[dawn arch]

We had around 200 victory points an 0 assisted damige because we were on front line together and died around same time.
First - didnt i deserve at least a little better rating even if it is just damage or just one can get increase in rating on loosing team.
And second does kills increast rating that much. Because if that is case it might increase kill stealing quite a bit.
I usually leave low hp thanks if i am in high alpha tank like chimera.
@ornate spoke

@tiny basin
So only ONE can get points in losing team.
Thats 💩

[willow aurora]

no kills

[dawn arch]

@willow aurora
They need to change that

[willow aurora]

yes'nt because its done by base exp. if it was done by most damage that'll encourage even more selfish behaviour

[dawn arch]

@willow aurora
Doesnt this encourage kill steals.
As i stated in original coment i leave low HP tanks when i am in high aplha tank like chimera.
Killing tank is more selfish than dealing high damage. Imagine 183 shooting BC with 150 hp and right next to it is is4 with 1000 hp. It doesnt make sense for it to shoot BC if other tanks are next to it.
I might be wrong but this is my opinion

[willow aurora]

yes but people dont realise it, it also encourages capping a base unnecessarily instead of helping with a 2v2 on the flank or something 🌚

[ornate spoke]

you need kills so that does encourage kill stealing, unfortunatley in ratings you have to be a bit greedy if you want to get points, if you see team is loosing just go for kills and dmg, if you winning same thing

[willow aurora]

early shots + spot > kills/cap = points 👍

[ornate spoke]

also killing a tank higher tier then yours is very good

[willow aurora]

if you do get bottom tier 🥹

[abstract abyss]

Platinum speed run

[nimble wadi]

@ornate spoke My way of thinking on killing low health tanks that are one shots is this: If there are two tanks in front of me a one shot and a mostly full health tank, I’m killing the one shot first ONLY if I’m by myself and no other teammate will be able to kill the one shot.

If in the above scenario there is a teammate who can pick up the kill, I’ll let them and shoot the healthiest tank.

If I’m relocating and see a one shot that I can hit in the move, I’ll take the shot. I don’t care if there is a teammate about to shoot it because I want to clear guns when I can.

Likewise if someone else kills a tank I out from under me I don’t necessarily like it but I also don’t really care either as long as I my team gets the win.

I haven’t been upset about “kill stealing” for year. Especially since now you get credit for how much damage you do to a tank regardless of who kills it.

[mortal hull]

Cause those same people are selfish and aren't willing to take shots as much, as they're playing for points rather than wins

Indeed, I recognize way too many people within the top 30 of NA leaderboard who unironically do that dumb stuff (not even because that's the ratings meta)

[nimble wadi]

The point system needs to be reworked for the loosing team. There has to be a better way than the top person by exp only gets points.

I don’t think it would be unfair if like the top three or four maybe got some points. Even it it’s 10 or less. Because the current system just encourages selfish behavior.

[ornate spoke]

i get where you are coming from and thats honestly good and valid points

[wind moon]

DaLechi#9811 has been warned.

[agile sphinx]

The way to stop people abusing it is literally by removing it not expanding it and making it worse lol

You get rewarded for winning only, meaning to do better you need to win more, something that's very hard to do through negative actions.

You will lose points when you have a "bad team" and will gain when you have a "good team" and if you have the thought to look past individual games you can see over any reasonable sample you get you want it to be: individual performance that's very very hard to artificially inflate.

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx It should not be an all or nothing system. If you only lose points for a loss, no matter how well you played, then there is no point to play ratings.

This is a team game and sometimes you will not have the better team. If you only reward the top player in a loss, you get what we have now. A lot of selfish players.

By expanding who gets points in a loss, you make it harder for those selfish players. Maybe reduce the points you can get as top player in a loss and give more players some points.

I would encourage more team oriented play and make is far less rewarding for serial selfish players.

[agile sphinx]

Where did you get that idea from lol why wouldn't you play ratings?? It literally makes rating actually slightly accurate and not just a joke of a monthly event like a bp

If you expand it then you lose all incentive to play for a win. You lose all the people that try for a win from the start, and get everyone trying to be selfish.

But predictably you are just looking at one battle samples, exactly like I said was useless to do. Sometimes you have a better team. Sometimes you have a worse team. If you play better, you win more, you go up. If you don't, you go down.

You want to reward winning, because winning is the most difficult thing to influence positively through bad teamwork. If you want to stop people being selfish and encourage team play, you need to make it a reward that's for the team objective, not the individual objective.

[earnest delta]

Players with under 5000 games should not be allowed in Ratings events.

[ornate spoke]

There should be a battle requirement tbh, I think that wouldn't be a bad addition

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx You have it all completely backwards.

You completely ignore the facts and anything I said.

[nimble wadi]

@ornate spoke Make it ONLY tech tree tanks and minim of 5000 battles.

[dreamy summit]

I highly disagree. NA needs more players taking part in rating and this would just make rating more dead than before. I believe WG need to put better rewards so better players start playing ratings. With the current status most players don't see a use in grinding ratings.

[ornate spoke]

i was thinking min 1000 thats it.
because bot makes a really good point as in NA needs more players, the reason there is so much struggle is cause you will go against the same people constantly where as in EU you go against lots of diff people, NA ratings is essentially dead in terms of players, always see same people nothing new

[dreamy summit]

Let's be honest though. The gold reward could be increased and maybe rotating to a new tank reward would make things interesting. This would also help keep past ratings players coming to play. What makes this nice also is that it can be done to all servers and it would have a positive effect. (A tier 10 reward would be nice)

I'm in top5 and my queue takes way too long. Even if I wanted to reach 6k it would take a lot of time to get there. If my queue was near instant then 6k is achievable.

[ornate spoke]

there should be a new league after diamond since 6k is achievable, i have yet to be in a battle and its 40 mins

[dreamy summit]

What would you call it? (20 minutes for me)

[ornate spoke]

after diamond should be Ruby at 6k. Ruby is pretty mesmerizing and prestigious

[dreamy summit]

Good addition, I just hope devs are reading this

[ornate spoke]

yes

[woven pilot]

The idea isn’t bad but it’s not for NA

[ornate spoke]

so it seems cobra messi doesnt like me now cause i killed him since he was one shot 💀

[dreamy summit]

tbh that's better than having COVIL on your team

[ornate spoke]

dude told his entire team to focus me too 💀
but yeah better then COVIL

[mortal hull]

Bope and covil OMEGALUL

[blissful portal]

Ratings are dead... every 1 year almost they change the reward tank and the rewards are always the same, useless avatars and camos... only the first 10 get gold... hope they rework the ratings reward system soon. They should add a currency and a shop where they sell special and unique items like they do for twister cup.

And what did i just say... read, they do that for twister cups but they put items they frequently sell.... i said they SHOULD SELL UNIQUE ITEMS, TANKS, ETC THAT ONLY CAN BE OBTAINED BY PLAYING RATINGS WITH RATINGS CURRENCY. Dont put a 54 mod in ratings shop... they could sell IS-6 and Lorraine fearless certs, a unique high tier tank that costs a lot. Like they do in wot pc ranked battles

Wasnt my intention lol, sorry

[nimble wadi]

It would be nice for ratings to last longer than a month. Maybe two or three. Put in some kind of ratings only currency and specials in the shop.

[ornate spoke]

today is not a good day at all, only done 5 battles so far

[willow aurora]

literally one of the reasons i dont like NA ratings is the fact you see almost the same people every battle when you’re top 30-20

[dreamy summit]

try playing t8 (don't matter)

[ornate spoke]

i keep encountering COVIL tho
alr ill try it

[nimble wadi]

Yes!! I’m in the top 12%!! 🤣🤣🤣

[mortal hull]

Risking a mute but it's funny af

[ornate spoke]

tier 8 is not treating me well
🙃
the t54 didnt come to chimera aid in time so that was loss but you did well. i might give up for the night i cant get a match in tier 7 and tier 8 is not doing well for me rn. skill issue tbh

[dreamy summit]

I fought for my life last game

[median kettle]

Bro EU players are so dumb. “Oh Na so easy not even 6k” because it’s literally impossible to hit 6k on Na with the queue times

[willow aurora]

average EU player

[nimble wadi]

What’s the worst tank to play in ratings?

[willow aurora]

tier 7, tier 10 is just a sweat fest

[dreamy summit]

t10 was really fun first day

[nimble wadi]

I play mostly in 10 lol. But it seems maybe I should drop down to 8

[willow aurora]

not when you get __Alone on you're team and have camping double shot yohs 🌚

[median kettle]

Rip that game was bad for me. Couldnt get anything going and lost too much hp early

[willow aurora]

i realised when going to cap he was just gonna cap a or c or whatever it was, im also not the kind of guy to yolo in for attempt to kill the last guy if im a one shot etc

[median kettle]

ig that game made up for it a bit. thought for sure that was a loss

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora I really hate him. He’s everything wrong with ratings.

[willow aurora]

yet he manages to get top 10 by playing how he does 😵‍💫

[median kettle]

@willow aurora unlucky bro lmaooo

[ornate spoke]

3 COVIL one team
that was the worse possible matchup i ever seen

[willow aurora]

damn i love having 3 covil players on my team, and even better they started running their mouths after

[nimble wadi]

This was a sweaty game.

[median kettle]

Bro can all the high rated players not get off? Took 30 minutes to get into a game

[willow aurora]

welp i went from like 60th to 33rd today..

[median kettle]

Nice. Also does anyone know how many points 1-5 had on NA last season? think I'm going to try and secure a top 5 spot since I don't have a lorraine yet

[ornate spoke]

prince i believe he said top 5 was 5.6k

@median kettle well done
yeah i suck your better then me

[median kettle]

bruh kolo supremacy cap wins are the funniest lol. Didn't get to kill 1 of my opponents

[ornate spoke]

i forgot to mention even tho last season top 5 was 5.6k, jan last year first place was 5.4k and jan statistically is low

[woven pilot]

I was 22th yesterday time to hit ratings

[median kettle]

idk it's turning out to be a sweaty season with the top 3 at least lol

[ornate spoke]

bruh i just want to get to 5200 and watch shrek 🤣
the top 3 are for sure sweaty, we are brawling

[woven pilot]

My cat disturbed me 💀 i’m aiming for 4750-4800 tonight

[median kettle]

Rip I'm making a push to 5200 as well see you there 🙂

[woven pilot]

-5 bru
Also I wish that channel had a lower cooldown

[ornate spoke]

i dont think im going to make with this MM
going to drop to 3rd probably

[median kettle]

Was going to say it's almost always a 0 sum game but the loser can still gain points lol. Also yea we are the only really high up players playing tier 8 so if we are playing at the same time we are usually going to be matched on opposite teams to balance points. That one game was the exception not the rule

[dreamy summit]

W movie

[ornate spoke]

i wasnt taking into consideration we are the only diamond players and are top 3 so MM is doing its best to balance, but jesus there are some people i know just from seeing them alot and they do not need to be in ratings

[median kettle]

Aight I'm done for the day played 17 games and only lost points in 1 so we call those Ws. GGs @ornate spoke

[ornate spoke]

well done mr rock, i will see you in battle tomorrow. GG o7

[median kettle]

Just too easy xD

[ornate spoke]

:/

[woven pilot]

me rn

[median kettle]

Like I said ratings is close to 0 sum so when I’m having an incredible streak and you have to play me every game your rating is not going to do great

[woven pilot]

Goofy 40% 💀

[ornate spoke]

it goes on

[willow aurora]

💀

[woven pilot]

I’ll stop where I was before today because the teams are monke
@random oar Yeah because it’s pain near 5k playing tier 8 rn

[nimble wadi]

Stupid question. What determines how you are listed on the lineup for your team?

[analog jungle]

It’s based on avg rating of players. Basically it groups everyone to determine a team avg and what type of tank you are playing.

[woven pilot]

I kinda can relate ngl

[willow aurora]

tier 10 ratings is just a sweat fest so it happens

[nimble wadi]

Ratings teams are now better than regular pubs. I guess a month of boss mode trained them to be even worse than normal.

[willow aurora]

impossible

[median kettle]

bruh I'm glad I'm not playing 10s atm

[ornate spoke]

took my anger out on my punching back and watched shrek and feel better now. the sec i get upset i end up playing like a 40% and not focus and get greedy for dmg only to get myself killed and be useless for my own team, i also forget that there are going to be days in ratings where its just not a great day 💀

[willow aurora]

yeah, theres no such thing as being consistent at gaining on NA and if anyone says that they can consistently gain their probably lying

[median kettle]

💀

[willow aurora]

trust me you're gonna have a day where you gain like 20 points over 10 games 💀
if you dont you're special

[median kettle]

I mean I just don't play on days like that. If I'm cold I just do regular battles or stop playing

[willow aurora]

fair enough

[willow aurora]

i dont see the sheridan much but i know alot of players spam the tvp to top 10 or to diamond

[willow aurora]

NA i see alot of TVP and type 71s (which isnt a surprise), stb and sheridan not so much. but i see alot of t92s

[ornate spoke]

Does anyone know how this diamond camo looks on a tank?

[willow aurora]

you can also search by image and select this channel only and find some over photos

[ornate spoke]

But it will be purple right? Or it will turn blu like the one on kran here

[gilded edge]

depends on various factors how strong the contrast is: tank nation base color and if the tank has PBR or not

[median kettle]

Here’s what it looks like on my patton

[buoyant hearth]

looks great on pbr tanks, looks trash on non pbr tanks

[willow aurora]

it is purple, on both the t92 and kran 🗿.
may just look different because the kran has PBR and the t92 does not

[median kettle]

@willow aurora what place are you pushing for this season? Out of curiosity. Or are you just grinding camos?

[willow aurora]

camos, then im done with this game for a while. i dont really have a reason to push

[median kettle]

Fair assume you have a fearless already then?

[gilded edge]

But isnt T92E1 already PBR? The camo looks pretty bad on T92E1 and SU130PM due to lack of contrast imo.

[willow aurora]

yeah, took 3 seasons because 10 + 80 + 30. i also suck at keeping a consistent gain streak or whatever

[analog jungle]

Lol at my peak grinding the fearless I would quit if I lose points 3 games in a row. Knowing when to quit for the day to not lose points helped me maintain top spot. The days that I gained I got a lot of points.

Also the Sheridan has hella view range. It’s good for stealing spotting points.

[winter elbow]

I got fortunate i got #3 for the is6 and #1 for lorraine. Didnt play ratings after that

[kindred flower]

Anyone else agree Ghost Factory is the worst map? There's only 2 scenario, you go and try to hold this corner or you flank but flanking let the enemy team push on that stupid corner

[nimble wadi]

It’s another unbalanced map. If you spawn on the side where the factory is to your right , you can get to that corner and hold it better than If you spawn at the opposite side.

If you spawn with the factory to your left, your best bet is to go left around and through it.

Too many maps are unbalanced like this with the starting point many times giving one team an advantage.

[kindred flower]

Map just can't be fixed, needs to be removed. It would be funny if they rotate the spawns, might balance it a bit, like so

The inside of the factory needs to be modified, lots of work
WG Devs: "count me out"

[nimble wadi]

They won’t remove it. You just need to adjust how you play them. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean your team will. At least in ratings you can still gain points for a loss. Unlike regular games.

[nimble wadi]

@tiny basin Fixed it

[ornate spoke]

if i can get the fearless this month on first try then ill quit my commitment to ratings for top 5 and just hit 5000 for a camo from then on until they add a new ratings tank, simple

[slim hare]

Best positions from both sides are in the north…

[nimble wadi]

Yeah, no.

[ornate spoke]

goodluck today bois

sorry to hear, the month is still young there is time in future

[analog jungle]

I said the same thing and I’m still here

[ornate spoke]

it be like that honestly

[analog jungle]

Lol I just grind camos now, I have another 85 parts just reaching diamond only

[ornate spoke]

ey nice

[analog jungle]

What about top 200 every month? And grind higher on the 2 month one?

April-May is the next 2 month one, double parts worth it

[nimble wadi]

This show ratings are a joke. If this clown can get that high.

[analog jungle]

You start off at 3k he only gained 247 points

[buoyant hearth]

3.2k is high now? 🧐

[nimble wadi]

For as bad a player as he is. It seems extremely high.

[median kettle]

It’s hard to get below 3k rating my guy. People do it but holy is it hard

[analog jungle]

0 dmg every game ez but your team yells at you

[median kettle]

xD I mean yea they should lol

[analog jungle]

Still won 60% of my calibration games

[willow aurora]

yeah

[median kettle]

@ornate spoke smh trying to gank me there xD

[mortal hull]

I’d probably play some blitz today, but I’m already stored

[median kettle]

@ornate spoke pretty sure that wz lost us the game. Got in the way of me and you killing the e2 then couldn't finish him off then pushed me and still didn't kill him. Was a miserably bad player

[ornate spoke]

emil blocked my shot 3 times as i tried to save him from cent and su and wz blocked my shot to t54, each of those shots if they where not blocked would of changed the game

[median kettle]

yea that was a frustrating game. Haven't had as good as a day as yesterday but still going up just slower. Think I'll end at 5300 today

[willow aurora]

thats nothing compared to the amount of legitimate 40%ers ive seen in diamond on asia

[ornate spoke]

Im built for it 🪖

[median kettle]

@ornate spoke bruh that game was rough. Don't think I did enough and had to just scrape for that extra dmg

[ornate spoke]

today most likely going to be last day for ratings, im just going down and down and down not getting anywhere. ill try next season

[median kettle]

First good game today

[willow aurora]

you could try later in the season or take a days break, i took like 4 days off in a double season and went down 1-2 places

[ornate spoke]

here is my issue. its almost been 2 years since new ratings tank was added, i was originally going to just shoot for top 20 and get 40 for 3 months and get fearless, but if i do that and then they remove it before i get the lorraine, i did that for nothing which will piss me off. i didnt do ratings before cause i didnt have a pc and now i do, so im just fighting for top 5 just incase they do that

[median kettle]

idk when they will remove the fearless but I would imagine it's later this year. Like towards the end of the year. So getting 3 40s should be good enough imo

[willow aurora]

you could also try get top 20 in a double season, even tho its another months length you get double the parts

[trail anvil]

why give up in the first third of the season, doesnt make sense

[median kettle]

Back to back aces 🦾.

[willow aurora]

since when did the bbq ace bar get that low 😭

[trail anvil]

i remember i had a 4+k game in bourrasque that had 1st class, won game right after they sold it in the shop - searching the screenshot

[median kettle]

Both games were 1500+ base xp. The ratings bonus is included in the base xp I think. Also 5300 reached so done for day

[trail anvil]

0 dmg games are not healty in rating guys

[willow aurora]

nice

[trail anvil]

alot of pro players this season in rating ive noticed LVG, JKR, PRPL - maybe a reason to stay away from tier10 lol

[woven pilot]

How’s ratings tonight

0 dmg games are not healty in rating guys
I got ammoracked yesterday iirc, 0 dmg, lost 30 pts
i did 1 battle and it was fine, but that was one battle so idk
I see

[willow aurora]

i did 1 battle and it was fine, but that was one battle so idk

[analog jungle]

Yeah but a lot of them struggle to reach diamond

[nimble wadi]

I done with ratings. I’m tired of getting trash teams and no matter what you do losing points.

[trail anvil]

hahahaha

[analog jungle]

The is6 fearless was out for 2 years. If the cycle is correct we get a new tank this October (the 2 month szn) and WG will announce after Apr-May (the other 2 mon szn). Or next year for sure.

[median kettle]

Borrasque fearless please oh god 🙏

[mortal hull]

I've never seen points earned on 600 damage before, god dang

[ornate spoke]

alr, so i got time. if thats the case if they follow that cycle ill just do as much as a can to maintain top 5 and if i fall off ill aim for top 20

[analog jungle]

Top 20 (1 month 40 parts) Top 30 (2 months 30 parts each) 3 mon min. That’s sorta how I did it. April-May gives double parts so can just grind top 50 for 30 parts and top 20 for 80 parts (or top 10 for 100)

It will prolly be a td or light from another nation though @median kettle

[median kettle]

The things I’d do for a borrasque fearless are disgusting. An e2 fearless would be an excellent pick as well.

[trail anvil]

panther m10 fearless since it will be a german tank

[mortal hull]

T28 Fearless 👁️👁️

[ornate spoke]

Chimera Fearless 💀

[median kettle]

Nah will probably be Skorpion Fearless since it will be German and likely a TD.

[trail anvil]

i bet on a light tank and german, ok no panther m10 then

[analog jungle]

Wz120 gft. I mean there are a lot of good options.

[ornate spoke]

if its a german and only class left is TD and light i stg if they do RU251 fearless i will be sad. Skorpion Fearless sounds deadly

[trail anvil]

guys im unable to leave 4.2 k i guess i give up 😛 - who needs that camo anyway

[median kettle]

I’d be pretty surprised if it wasn’t a premium. They could also add in a Chinese tier 8 premium this year wot the new tech tree. Could also be a fearless of that but still my bet is on a German tank

[ornate spoke]

another thing to look at, idk if anyone noticed but the fearless tanks are OG tanks in blitz. IS6 has been in game for ages same as lorraine, so any other tier 8 TD and Light thats been in game for ages could be a fearless

[trail anvil]

i just finish my 3 tier10 matches and call the season a day why would you play ratings if u dont need the fearless lol

[analog jungle]

Has to be a premium tank though

[trail anvil]

they chose mediocre tanks for fearless that will not change- skorpion is way to strong to be a fearless compared to lorraine and is6

[woven pilot]

To be honest i’m aiming for Top 20 or Top 5 💀

[willow aurora]

WZ-111 fearless id grind 🙏

[nimble wadi]

Ratings is completely rigged. I now have proof. Done with it.

[trail anvil]

proof was my game i posted above lmao

[willow aurora]

old ss, ratings on asia server 🥹

[woven pilot]

💀

[ornate spoke]

💀

ended at 5140 which honestly ill take that over going below 5100. if anyone has tips for playstyle's in ratings i will greatly take tips besides the obvious which is skill issue 💀
cause i genuinely feel like im doing something wrong in ratings just dont know yet

[median kettle]

skill issue mostly :). Idk I think just playing not quite as aggressively as you might in pubs. Try to protect your hp unless you have to trade

[woven pilot]

Awful teams tonight, when it’s right it’s RIGHT
Seriously I lost 80 pts

[ornate spoke]

skill difference moment 💀
i should try to play safe tomorrow cause i do play aggressive and try to push enemy back but realize 90% of time im only one aggressively pushing and get punished for it. there is one thing ik i could do but it really pisses ppl off but i could be in for example the caliban and i wont push at all and stay back and go with meds cause i have no armor and am a glass cannon which makes ppl mad cause im a 'heavy'' when the tank really shouldnt be. but i play my classes very odd but it works for me and i end up doing above 3k avrg in a game 🤷‍♂️

[median kettle]

Yea I mean I wouldn't play something like the caliban you are out of the game for too long with your long reload and also lack the mobility to take a new position like in a borrasque. Something like the borrasque is quite excellent as you only need to get 4 clips out to have a good game or something like the e2 where you can frontline and take abuse but also stay in the fight for a while. Also if you are winning but doing 3k dmg every game then you are still gaining points so wouldn't worry about it.

[willow aurora]

channel you're inner __Alone and become one of the most hated ratings players on NA while getting top 10 doing so

[ornate spoke]

i am not trying to become the most hated rating NA player 🤣 id rather have a enemy lineup of RGN and JKR then that

[willow aurora]

fair

[ornate spoke]

so relaxing to dominate regular battles after a long stressful day in ratings

[sharp path]

Show US 😂

[agile sphinx]

You don't trust its rigged just because he said so? Smh how distrustful

[sharp path]

These people nowdays, shame on Them for Not believing the words of Others without Proof💅

[glacial turret]

Ratings is just full with "pros" Camping in tvps, sheris and t100lts, theres no rigging

[willow aurora]

apart from the COVIL players going to an iso part of the map and farming off each other

[agile sphinx]

As bad as it is for people to be rigging you shouldn't really be naming and shaming here, best thing to do is send replays to WG support and they will likely get banned

[willow aurora]

mb

[warped anvil]

It might not be ‘rigged’ but sure isn’t much fun today! 🤨

[median kettle]

I mean I wouldn’t play a mino in rating. Not a very flexible tank and one that really struggles with its dpm imo.

[warped anvil]

True, but I wanted to see how it went, and it performs solidly, but teams just evaporate and it is a hard tank to carry in

[willow aurora]

i gained like 200 points w the mino oct-nov season

then after those 200 points i didnt gain using the minotauro

[willow aurora]

its not fun when you reload or get rushed however

[nimble wadi]

@sharp path Well I forgot to screenshot before the update. However I can do it again today. I played not caring if I did well or not. Statistically my teams should win about 50% of the time, give or take a little.

What I found out was that the team I got overwhelming lost 95% of the time! Statistically that is impossible if teams are supposed to be as balanced as possible. They should win closer to 40-50% of the time.

Therefore my conclusion is that the MM in ratings and most probably all game modes is rigged in one way or another.

So I’m done trying to even win. Because I now have proof that ratings is a joke.

[agile sphinx]

It's not statistically impossible to lose more games than you expect lol
Especially over small sample sizes which I don't imagine you would have thought about

But hey I'm sure it's all rigged against you and WG have nothing better to do than to make you lose for no apparent reason

[willow aurora]

NA you have a more higher chance to “lose” because top 30 players or anyone trying to get to diamond tend to go for base exp over winning, which i’ve seen happen too often on NA. (not all players do this but i’ve seen a few specific players)

however i do doubt he lost 95% of time seeming hes still in gold league which if he plays right should be free points to get to platinum but whatever 🤷‍♀️

[agile sphinx]

Your teammates going for xp over winning doesn't change a thing because it's not specifically related to a common factor across your battles. If you assume your team won't try to win, you have to assume the other team is the same because there is no way to distinguish between who gets out in your team and who gets out against you.

[nimble wadi]

No. It was 95% of the games were a loss. So ratings is a pointless mode. Just done with it.

[willow aurora]

it changes that you know you have 1 or more somewhat unreliable teammates to count towards the win regardless if the other team have similar players or not.

[agile sphinx]

Going from "I lost 95% of my games" to "ratings is pointless" is a big step. I'd definitely go for "I got unlucky and wasn't playing that well" before trying to claim it's rigged.

@willow aurora Unless you are talking about recognising individual players (who have about the same chance to be on the other team anyway) I don't understand what you are talking about

[willow aurora]

ig its an NA server only thing 🤷‍♀️

[agile sphinx]

The only difference between na and other servers is the amount of people, that doesn't affect whether you will win or not at all

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx Ratings as it is now is pointless. The way points are handed out is stupid. It encourages selfish behavior and even if you play well you still lose points because you got slightly less exp than someone else on your team.

Also losing 95% of the games shows that the MM is rigged. Not specifically against me. There is no statistical way teams should lose 95% of games. It should be much closer to 50%.

Therefore the MM is stacking teams.

Even if it’s not, and I know it is now, they way the point system is set up makes is just another example of WG not being able to make the game anywhere close to competitive or enjoyable.

So from now on I’m done with ratings.

[willow aurora]

having 3 players from a very specific clan on you’re team does, 2 players who were on the opposite team that game can confirm it 🌚

@nimble wadi this has been mentioned multiple times here: selfish behaviour = points

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora I don’t know what you mean by three players from a clan.

As for selfish behavior = points I know that. And since this is supposed to be a TEAM GAME just proves that WG can’t make anything better or just won’t make anything better because $$$

So I’m done.

[willow aurora]

you’re not high enough to know
and it was more directed to the message above yours

[agile sphinx]

And yet you wanted to make it worse so people are more selfish lol

Allegedly losing 95% of some amount of games shows nothing lol. There is a very definite statistical way you can lose 95% of games, and if you provide me with the sample size I can do the maths for you if you want.

MM is not stacking teams, even if it was who would MM be stacking the teams for/against? Is it just you because the world hates you and you are such a better player than the game allows you to be?

Whether you are like ratings or not isn't what you started complaining about

@willow aurora That's one extremely specific scenario, and there still a very similar chance to have those players on the other team. It doesn't affect whether you will win or lose over any reasonable sample size which is all that's relevant.

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx It is not statistically possible to lose 95% of games if both teams to start with are supposed to be evenly matched. It should be around 40-60% losses.

[analog jungle]

I checked your account the problem is you’ve manage to go below 3k. At this point teams are going to be bad and the deciding factor win or get points is you. Take a break and come back.

[nimble wadi]

@analog jungle Oh yeah. I know. I’m going to to get to zero. That’s my new goal now. As part of that plan I found out that teams are just not balanced at all. So I’m riding all the way to zero.

[agile sphinx]

It should tend to around 40-60%. Whether it is actually near that figure in a sample or not is a whole different matter. If I flip a coin twice is it statistically impossible for it to land on heads twice? It should land on one of each.

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx That’s not true. Each time you flip a coin there is a 50/50 chance. However that doesn’t mean it will be heads on time and tails the next. Also there are ways to make sure a coin flip comes up the way you want.

That said, teams should not lose 95% of the games.

[agile sphinx]

Exactly, it's not true. It's the same scenario you are using as "proof" just simplified. Your team has (close to) a 50/50 chance, but it doesn't mean that they will actually win half the games, or even close to half. It means it's likely they will.

"That said, you shouldn't get four heads in a row", but it's easy to see this is entirely possible through no bias in the coin whatsoever.

Also idk why you are trying to get to 0 it's just a bit pathetic lol

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx Statistically it should not be 95% losses.

As for getting my rating to zero I want to see if it’s even possible. I really don’t care at this point about this game mode. It’s broken and pointless.

[agile sphinx]

"Statistically you should not get four heads in a row"
You see that this is wrong?

It's possible, other people have done it. If you don't care then don't play and stop pretending like its rigged against you because you are doing badly 🤷‍♀️

[abstract abyss]

Ratings is my fav game mode lmao

[analog jungle]

Someone has gotten to zero and they posted it before. Once you go below 2500 q times are longer

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx Has nothing to do with me doing bad. Just in my way to getting to zero I realized what a sham this game is. It’s all rigged to keep you playing and spending.

@analog jungle Well I’m going to give it a go.

[agile sphinx]

Lol the tin foil hat club gets another member

I'm sure there's no reason at all that you gave up and decided to go for 0 rating at all, although getting to 0 is a nice waste of everyone's time (especially yours) and almost certainly considered rigging games.

But hey I'm sure WG cares enough about you especially to just rig your games, because somehow you losing more makes you spend more, and would only ever bother to ruin your ratings games not randoms or anything else.

Oh also you didn't answer my previous question about whether you understood what you said was wrong, which is kinda key because you based your whole "proof" off that...

[muted shuttle]

@nimble wadi You seem to be swinging statistics and probability around without understanding basic math first 🙂

Also, just wondering, why do you think you are so special to deserve a whole algorithm designed just to make you specifically lose?

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx The game isn’t rigged just against me only. It’s just how it’s set up to keep as many people just winning enough and spending money. It’s exactly what casinos do.

[mortal hull]

Also I'm wondering why the debate's going on for so long, especially when there's a mod around

[analog jungle]

The only case for rigging is calibration let me explain. Everyone starts at 3k for calibration so really really good players might have lower ratings but play better. But most of the time these players increase ratings really fast so that isn’t an issue.

The other issue on NA is small sample sizes. The skill gap between a platinum player and diamond player is huge. MM tries its best to give everyone a faster game so it makes exceptions. But again it’s still early in the szn to make a difference.

Also my f2p is top 30. I only have 4 prems that I got for free. I struggled the past couple of days but gained 300 points yesterday with tech tree tanks like the t100lt and tvp.

[elder thicket]

Blitz Stars allows you to rank individual tanks and get some great peer recognition at the same time .

[nimble wadi]

You are not understanding my point. The game is not rigged to let some players do better than others. It’s not about favoring one player over the other.

It’s rigged in that is designed to keep players winning just enough so that they keep playing and spending money on the game as long as possible.

It has nothing to do with how good one player is over another. Nor is it WG out to personally “get” me.

It’s designed to make money and keep as many players playing as it can. Just like a casino. Nothing sinister about it. Just a fact of how it is.

[agile sphinx]

You still missed my question...

Casinos and blitz are pretty different things, casinos games are weighted in the favour of the house in the long run with a small chance for individuals to win short term.

Blitz is not weighted against anyone, and is also not designed to stop people winning or to keep people winning. There's nothing in the game that prevents loss streaks or breaks win streaks apart from the way the game is played and how difficult it is to win all the time. The game is engineered to make money through crates, offers, events etc but matchmaking and ratings are a long way separate from that.

If you want to complain about WGs business practices then go for it (in the right channel would be nice), but don't start claiming ratings is rigged to make you lose 95% of games because that's just ridiculous.

[ornate spoke]

Bro I just woke up and see essays what in tarnation

[nimble wadi]

@agile sphinx Blitz and casinos are one in the same. And it goes to what I was saying about the ratings system.

As for complaining, I’m doing no such thing. Just pointing it out how the game is set against all the players equally. However that doesn’t mean that it’s done maliciously. Just how games like this are designed to make money.

Im in no way telling anyone to stop playing or spending money on the game. Nor am I calling WG out for anything. Just how it is.

[muted shuttle]

Okay that would be enough

Please pick another place, preferably not this server, to share your fantasies

Apparate!

[patent hatch]

True

[analog jungle]

From yesterday i forgot I saved it

[ornate spoke]

is that me at the top
cause that profile background i have and i kept getting stuck between 5100-5150

[ornate spoke]

it happens but if you reach a goal number your going to just stop there and come back tomorrow. or switch tiers

[woven pilot]

Yeah i’ll aim for 50-100 pts per day until Diamond I think now to avoid this

[ornate spoke]

thats a safe strat to do
im aiming for 5250 today then im done

[dreamy summit]

Every inch of my body doesn't want to play ratings but here I am again

[mortal hull]

Every inch of my body doesn’t want to play Blitz

[ornate spoke]

every inch of my body doesnt want to have migraine again over ratings

[willow aurora]

the amojnt of text

[ornate spoke]

👁️👄 👁️

[median kettle]

Every inch of my body wants to play ratings more xD but I know I shouldn’t play too much because I just get exhausted.

[ornate spoke]

😎

[dreamy summit]

better than waiting 30 minutes to lose and wait another 15+

[willow aurora]

tier 7 momento

[ornate spoke]

i feel your pain dude, i feel your pain

[median kettle]

You playing the borat today?

[ornate spoke]

this tank is stupid good dude, that game was so sweaty

[willow aurora]

bbq is also surprisingly balanced

[ornate spoke]

i need 1 more win and im done for the day pls rng bless me

is there a way to get the protogen dude banned cause him giving away your location and reload was wrong
spamming 💀

[median kettle]

0-3 on the day. First rough day. Pink legit just inting me. Save the replay and you can file a replay I'm going to do the same later tonight cuz thats super not ok

[willow aurora]

they always do bad when i see them 💀, havent seen them give out locations but i dont doubt it

[median kettle]

Had to switch over to the e2 kept getting trolled in the borat today. Always feels good to help the team come back from a 1-3 deficit

[median kettle]

Also one of my least favorite players from past seasons has somewhat reformed. like I'm ok seeing them on my team now. But maybe its because they are playing tier 9s and not 10s

Also aces are so easy to get in Ratings since you get like an extra 200 xp for the rating bonus which seems to count towards base xp

[willow aurora]

yeah i cant get the t77 to work there for i still think its mid 💀

[median kettle]

I'd play the borat or the e2. The t77 is kind of a mix of both but the issue imo is you aren't able to take the abuse like the e2 can and not as mobile as the borat to move between clips.

[willow aurora]

yeah, my career stats for t77 are a bit goofy as well

[median kettle]

Rip think a bunch of high rated players got off for the day because rip my queue time now. Was pretty good earlier today

[ornate spoke]

yeah alot got off. first couple hours is good time then after that it dies

[willow aurora]

yeah ratings isnt fun when you have a lansen that sits in the back and pushes only after you die

[nimble wadi]

I’m enjoying my quest for the bottom. It’s refreshing. No pressure. No expectations.

[willow aurora]

?

[woven pilot]

How’s going tonight ?

[median kettle]

Pretty good for me. Switched it up to the e2 and pushed up about 70 points on the day

[nimble wadi]

Going great. Been losing points pretty consistently. It’s hard to do. People are really stupid at the 2500 range.

[willow aurora]

i did like 120-130 or something

[woven pilot]

That’s good to know

[willow aurora]

not really, you can literally yolo or go afk and not gain on a win

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora Oh. Good advice! I was doing it the hard way.

[willow aurora]

dont blame me if you get temp banned then 💀

[mortal hull]

Yes, if you want to increase chances of ban, DM me the replay and team results screenshot so I can report him via ticket (since trying to get other people to report here somehow equals shaming)

[willow aurora]

^
send me as well

[ornate spoke]

my replays where set off since new update came out so i cant get the replay but i can get team results if that does anything

[willow aurora]

not really unfortunately

[mortal hull]

WG really needs to stop messing with replay settings

[nimble wadi]

Here’s a screenshot for you.

[willow aurora]

you’re gonna be pink protogen v2 if you keep losing points on purpose

[median kettle]

My season after 100 games 💀

[nimble wadi]

@willow aurora A what

[mortal hull]

I hate x3 multipliers, given that you can't choose when to use them. I don't have much tanks to grind in ratings, and the most useful that I could use the x3 multipliers for is the T49 since it branches off into two tier IX tanks. Normally I'd be fine with playing T49, except I'm going for diamond camo on the STG and it barely has more battles played in it than the T49. It's already a pain to play STG without equipment, and I kinda don't wanna play anymore of it.

And before someone says just play pubs instead, pubs is disgusting and at least I get a xp bonus in ratings.

Well, now I gotta play more STG. Turns out I was just one T49 battle short. 💀

[median kettle]

You should keep playing the STG 🙂

[mortal hull]

If I know I'm getting cracked, might as well embrace it.

STG stands for Swear To God, why tf do I play this thing

[mortal hull]

Wow, I really just managed to make up 100 points in like a hour. If only I could get that much progress in getting gold 😦

[ornate spoke]

my goal is to get to 5.4k and hope that secures a top 5

[median kettle]

RIP I just sat in queue for 20 minutes and didn't get a game in sadge. Going for 5400 tmrw

[woven pilot]

Bro ratings tonight was A M A Z I N G
9 games, one lost with points, literally gained near 200 pts in a hour
I’m at 4810

[median kettle]

shesh I miss getting 20-30 point gains. Im lucky to get like 15

[willow aurora]

bro i remember waiting like 30 minutes for 1 game just for it to be a 7-0 sweep and getting 7-9 points 😂

[median kettle]

I mean that's basically my experience with it at this point

[karmic belfry]

Asia ratings be hardcore as hell

[willow aurora]

eu rn

[karmic belfry]

Dear mother of god.

[ornate spoke]

wth so sweaty, tbf more players tho

[woven pilot]

I'm 23th

[median kettle]

Yea I mean NA would be 6k too but the issue is queue time not sweatiness

[ornate spoke]

poggers

[willow aurora]

the more you sweat the longer the queue times (NA)

[woven pilot]

Aiming top 5 or top 20

[ornate spoke]

if you can get top 5 i will be super proud of you padawan

[willow aurora]

^

[woven pilot]

In January 2022, top 5 was 5198
Seems achievable and I agree you and others would be proud of me (including myself)
I'll be honest with you, one year ago, I never expected to go that far and today I have the opportunity to achieve it
@median kettle Yeah it will be higher for sure, If Top 5 is above 5700 i'll give up I think and aim for top 20 (40 parts)

[median kettle]

I mean good luck I'm expecting top 5 to be above 5500 this season ngl

[willow aurora]

keep in mind jan 2022 was when the points on defeat system didnt exist

[mortal hull]

nah, go for beyond: top 0

[woven pilot]

Oh yeah I forgot about that
By the way, how long the queue is in general when you're diamond in tier 10 ?
Good idea Code

[willow aurora]

as little as a few seconds
to 30-40 minutes+

[ornate spoke]

if the 5th spot by end of season is 5500 im fine with that

[median kettle]

idk it could honestly be higher than that. The fact that 3 of us are around 5300 makes it seem likely to me that it will be higher

[willow aurora]

my guess would be 5.5k-5.7k tbh, looking at how the 5th player is 5.2k and you cant easily gain like 200 points in 1 day at high diamond

[woven pilot]

Eh could be worse

[ornate spoke]

the higher you go tho the less you earn. once you hit 5500 you start earning at most 10 i believe which you would need to play alot of games to go up 100 vs current rating now. im lucky i got 5th rn. there isnt a big gap between 5th to first so there is still a good chance to go up vs towards the last week there is going to be a 200 point gap from 5th to first most likely, i wont have time to grind that much towards end of month cause work so rn im taking advantage

[willow aurora]

40 minutes for a 2 minute 7-0 sweep 🤡

[woven pilot]

Spain
Bro's writing an essay about how good I am in ratings and how I don't spam 53TP
But-
@willow aurora Felix

[ornate spoke]

another thing too is that towards the end the top players stop playing as much cause they have pretty much secured there spot cause nobody will reach 5700 in the span of a day if you at lets say 5500 or maybe even 5600. too long wait times. first half of month ppl go up fast then it just dies off

[willow aurora]

whos writing an essay?
outstanding

[mortal hull]

Very sus name...

[wind moon]

lxst.fxirman#7192 was muted

Im currently in top 100 on EU, on NA with the same points i would be top 3 lol

[ornate spoke]

nice. EU built different well done

[abstract abyss]

It would take a few minutes longer fosho. On EU its around 1 minute queue time at the moment.

[abstract abyss]

Skill

[ornate spoke]

aiming for 350 today goodluck to rest of you in your goal

[ornate spoke]

i forgot 120fps was a thing in blitz and just activated it and jesus so much better to snap shot and aim

[buoyant hearth]

Think I'm going for platinum camos this month, not that I can't reach diamond I just want platinum camos on some tanks, tho I am struggling to get 50 battles in each tier, the wait time in queue is killing me.

[woven junco]

How can I improve in rated? Last 2 season I ended with ~4800 and ~4400. This season i started with 4200 and now I am on big downswing. I can do anything in battle and I am trying so hard to do the best, but I am dropping in each tier.... Win +10-15, lose -20-25... with around 50/50 I am stil losing... Currently I dropped below 4000. Can you give me any tips, am I missing something or is it skill issue?

[buoyant hearth]

Best advice I can give, if you lose more than 3 games in a row, take a 15-30 mins break, usually the teams change up a bit after that.

Non animated but I like it tbh.

[willow aurora]

you get into top 10 NA you queue times can be as little as a few seconds and as long as 30 minutes, and if you’re really unlucky 40-50+ 💀

[ornate spoke]

nobody seems to be moving up in leaderboard its just a standstill rn which is interesting

[mortal hull]

I was quite happy until I remembered ratings existed

[median kettle]

Bro its minimum 10 minutes for me and often 20+ EU and NA experience is just not the same at all

So frustrating first game of the day was a garunteed loss with 3 teammates doing 0 damage and game not quite long enough to do enough to gain points

[willow aurora]

na is the opposite of eu for queue times

[ornate spoke]

i mean luckily nobody is gaining positions rn its just dead the leaderboard

[median kettle]

You should jump into the queue so I can find games xD

[trail anvil]

i just played 3 games in rating and didnt notice its rating LOL

[ornate spoke]

im in tier 8 rn using bc if u wanna get in queue now

[median kettle]

rip I'm in queue already

[ornate spoke]

lmao i may not even hit 5300 today, got a tornado warning 💀

[median kettle]

Had to take a deuce should have just joined the queue and come back xD

[ornate spoke]

i went to get my leftover rice and heat it up and still was in queue

[median kettle]

I'm so glad I sat in queue for 25 minutes to have the most brain dead tier 9s on my team.Sat in queue for 90 minutes and am exactly where I started this is pain

[ornate spoke]

that was horrid. who goes right on that map
clearly he never played ratings enough.

[median kettle]

I really hope that I don't have to go much more up because this is incredibly painful. Like I had a pretty good day yesterday and went up like 60 points.

[ornate spoke]

giving how slow ppl are going up the top 5 are not that far off in terms of point differences. and winning games barely move you up. i just won a match and only went up 5 so i think from now on it will be going up slowly but there is 19 days left so idk

[mortal hull]

Are you freaking kidding me WG? First ratings battle today and my tank moves forward when I don't want it to; I had to reset the game IN BATTLE to fix it, and I got destroyed immediately after re-entering. Update this and update that, yet can't do the simplest thing of making a tank move where I want it to

[median kettle]

Found bot lol. He moved up to tier 10s

[ornate spoke]

i left tier 10 was not for me. tried it a couple time using vickers CR and didnt work for me

[median kettle]

First 5400

[ornate spoke]

i just need 1 more win and im done for the night. im 8 away from 5300 💀

[median kettle]

Whatever ending at 5417 on the day. Had three back to back good games at tier 10 with double digit point gains so that feels nice

[woven pilot]

I’m literally considering to not play today with what you’re saying guys 💀

[ornate spoke]

i reached 5304 i am done for the night had a 4 win streak double digits so feeling good

[median kettle]

What's your queue time like? It's fine to have bad games just incredibly frustrating when you get 3-4 games an hour and a couple are just unwinnable. But if you are getting into games quickly its easier to just brush off and go into another game

[woven pilot]

Haven’t played yet
Yesterday, there was times I was directly put into a game (Happened one or two times) but in general, it’s around 3 - 7 mins
Yeah it’s cool to enter quickly but if you have a losing streak without gaining points you should consider to stop for the day
As I said, yesterday I got one of the best sessions ever (I got like 200 pts in a hour) but with what i’ve read, I could aim for 50-75 pts

since realistic is opening tomorrow im curious if teams will get better or worse or wait times will be longer 💀
Fair point, but it’s not like it was Big Boss

[ornate spoke]

since realistic is opening tomorrow im curious if teams will get better or worse or wait times will be longer 💀
havnt had realistic in ages tho so it could do something to ratings queue

[median kettle]

I mean over 5k you are capped at the amount of points you can gain. I'm not able to gain 30 points in a game like you can or hell even 20. I'm getting like 14 on my really good games so 50 point gain is like 150-200 for you

[willow aurora]

both, during big boss i gained like 150 points in 2 hours 💀
in like top 10 diamond or something

[woven pilot]

Gained 33 pts yesterday with my mastery on 53TP. Yeah in Diamond you get around 5-15 pts and you don’t lose much which is what I like. Considering doing T10 in diamond because yes I want that camo on IS-4 💀. Ah yes it’s definitely a lot
Like rn i’m at 4810, i’m near diamond, soon i’ll experience the 5-15 pts

[ornate spoke]

when you enter diamond goodluck is all i can say. you going to need alot of patience and not pull your hair out from doing a really good game and only get 15 max cause that happens alot

[woven pilot]

Yeah I know and you’re well placed to say this. In diamond, I might aim for 35-50 pts per day (Maybe more during weekends)
When I play ratings, I usually watch a movie or a show on the tv lol. While waiting yesterday in queue, I was listening Batman: The Origins (Part 1) but by patience pretty sure you meant in queue and in game

[ornate spoke]

yeah patience was refered to waiting for a match and in game. i go on youtube and watch videos while waiting to kill time. aiming for 35-50 is good, i aim for 50 each day now just seeing how little you get, 19 days left going up 50 a day is good, now there are going to be days that just suck and you only go up 10 points or 20 💀

[woven pilot]

You’re right, sometimes it feels so long that I wonder if I have the time to shower lol, but yeah i’m kinda used to queue times because there was days I waited 10 mins 💀 19 days left it’s ok i’m well placed so

[marsh frost]

ah the mm time

[young osprey]

if i push a tank into diamond do i still get the platinum camo or just the diamond camo?

[ornate spoke]

diamond camo

[woven pilot]

Fun fact: Think about running epic cooldown boosters

[willow aurora]

i only do that on tanks i have 2 consumables and 1 large repair kit on

[ornate spoke]

epic cooldown boosters are life savers with tanks that have improved engine boost the overdrive one

[mortal hull]

Happened again, seems like WG bias

And ofc I had to have the losing team, since I apparently am needed to carry every single team I'm on in ratings Super_Mario Moment
Just realized that I died within the first 50 seconds, yet I'm somehow not lowest damage on team 💀

[woven pilot]

Yeah I think i’ll do it like that
@mortal hull Nice ref lol funny that you aren’t the lowest dmg. It tells a lot about the teams

[abstract abyss]

Nice

[median kettle]

Yea I have 800 purple cool down boosters I just use them on every tank when playing ratings

[tall prawn]

hello

[blazing pollen]

why am I always playing against bots in every game I join when in tier 5 or higher?

[dreamy summit]

that's kinda rude

[ebon coral]

Wrong channel and skill issue

[blazing pollen]

sorry

[woven pilot]

Anyone can show me IS-4 with diamond camo and PBR STB with diamond camo

[glossy bramble]

Yes

@woven pilot

[woven pilot]

Looks awesome

[ornate spoke]

i got a replay i would like to submit cause a dude in ratings was feeding our team mate dmg on purpose so he could get points on a loss

[ornate spoke]

easiest day of rating in my LIFE
im done for the day going for 5400 tomorrow

[buoyant hearth]

I swear to god I will sleep away one day waiting for a match, I canceled it like 2 times already

[median kettle]

Don’t cancel just stay in queue. Also rip my powers down no rating for me

[buoyant hearth]

the stupid thing is all im trying to do is get 50 battles, i ain't even trying for diamond

[ornate spoke]

you should be good. brin passed you by a little bit but other then that leaderboard seems dead

[median kettle]

Yea just bored out of my mind. Literally sat down to play some games and boom power out

[median kettle]

bruh just had a pretty good game in the borat with 2400 dmg, 800 assist, 2 kills in an up tier game and 8 rating points omg it's so slow

[ornate spoke]

dude the point gain is brutal

[median kettle]

best game all day and still a loss

[dreamy summit]

meanwhile.....

[willow aurora]

welcome to the ratings grind 🥶

[dreamy summit]

still going

[nimble wadi]

I’ve only had to wait maybe 2:00 minutes tops.

[woven pilot]

Diamond moment 💀
Bruh 90 mins, i’d have had time to work lmao

[nimble wadi]

@dreamy summit Did you miss an update or something?

[dreamy summit]

100th minute

[dreamy summit]

I'm all updated

[nimble wadi]

Wow!!

Meanwhile I’m climbing back up.

[woven pilot]

Nice
Played only an hour today, gained 40 pts, almost reached my goal
4884 now

[nimble wadi]

I played realistic today grinding the Tiger P camo. I hated that mode until today. Got the hang of it and it reset my play style I think.

[dreamy summit]

waiting time record this season

[strong island]

what were you doing for 2 hours and 30 minutes

[dreamy summit]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-eating-food-hungry-gif-5054716

[median kettle]

I mean to be fair an hour of that is because the queue closed

[dreamy summit]

nope, I closed the game at 11

[median kettle]

Oh just assumed because of the time you posted at. The time of posting is an hour after queues ended for me

[karmic belfry]

Rare 5+6 HTs battle(ratings).

5 on our team 6 on theirs.

We won

[willow aurora]

in ratings? nah thats common, to NA at least

[nimble wadi]

Yes. I like to run light tanks in ratings to cut my queue time down. I’m often the ONLY light/medium on my team.

[fallen mortar]

Almost avg game nowadays 😂
There is always so many heavys even got up to 7 a few times in previous seasons

[ornate spoke]

if diamond was like that id cry in mental pain

[buoyant hearth]

middle platinum is the safe spot, anywhere 4200 and below, you gotta be good or get lucky to move up

[woven pilot]

^

[ornate spoke]

is anyone else only going up by 5 points
cause this is pain

[mortal hull]

@still sleet someone's mad lol

[mortal hull]

i'm on a loss streak rn cause i wanna make amoonmoon2 mald even more than he needs to

[woven pilot]

lol

[willow aurora]

high diamond moment

[ornate spoke]

🥹

[dreamy summit]

With all due respect dude that's in FEB and the guy in the E3 need to reevaluate their life decisions. Being different and pushing the opposite way ain't cool and tunneling someone ain't cool either. When I say tunnel I don't mean everyone pushing and you decide that one player's good so you shoot him. I mean completely disregarding everything and trying to shoot someone even though you'll take more shots than you deal. If you know these guys send them this message.

[mortal hull]

Idk about the FEB player but the E3 is Amoonmoon2. Dude's so arrogant even though he's at best unicum (just above 2.4k wn8), hence why I'mma be a troll towards him and try screwing his games over, which honestly isn't hard to do because I could carry the team and he'd still be mad

[winter elbow]

Brother, it’s ratings … at t7, first of all and it’s gold league. I don’t think the new mm that was introduced affected rating much. Rng is rng for a reason because it is random

[marsh frost]

MM time is kind of bad tho, im not even that high elo

[willow aurora]

i dont think the new mm affected ratings, and any league below platinum radiates bad teammate energy, sometimes even at 4200+ (depending on the server)

[marsh frost]

i meant as in like not being able to get in games, im just at 4.9. Unless 4.9k is considered high

[ornate spoke]

4.9 is high your on boarder of diamond so its considered high

[ornate spoke]

i think the top ppl have hit a point where no matter what tier you play you wait 15+ mins for a match now
or a hour

[willow aurora]

the top 10 experience

[strong island]

that’s what happens when a new update drops, nothing surprising imo

i’ve experienced worse

[woven pilot]

I lost 150 points the same day during the two month season so

[ornate spoke]

i gained 27 points today. nice

[woven pilot]

If you can’t follow a call correctly you shouldn’t play ratings
I’m just saying this, the amount of players who did 0 dmg /free roam around the map is insane

[ornate spoke]

A min 1000 battle requirement should be implemented for ratings I think that's fair

[willow aurora]

yeah theres a russian reroll who only plays ratings and isnt very good

[ornate spoke]

odd

[willow aurora]

all his battles are in ratings and he has a ton of premiums and stuff

[woven pilot]

I got it in my game
iirc he plays RHM not sure

[sharp path]

Op

[abstract abyss]

Rating teams today full of noobs. Must be sunday.

[willow aurora]

nah, we have our own version of him on NA

[nimble wadi]

Ratings is not team oriented. It’s everyone playing for themselves.

[ornate spoke]

reached 5404, done for today. goodluck to rest of you

[willow aurora]

🗿

[analog jungle]

Lucky you only have to wait 15 min.

Welcome to top 5 mm. That’s why I like to maintain top 10-20 and sneak in last week for faster battles.

Also going up 5 points is normal until 5.8 where it’s like 2-3 points for a really good game.

[ornate spoke]

This better be fake. Why a t49

[willow aurora]

🤷‍♀️

[ornate spoke]

if i had to wait a hour id be bamboozled

[jolly skiff]

how many points do you get after passing 5k?

[analog jungle]

20 and it slowly goes down

[ornate spoke]

it varies. you wont earn more then 20 thats for sure
5 min

[jolly skiff]

whats the minimum?

[willow aurora]

5

[woven pilot]

Going to reach 5k tonight possibly..

[dreamy summit]

good luck

[willow aurora]

literal NPCs

[dreamy summit]

Was I in that game?

[willow aurora]

no

[median kettle]

I just took a break from ratings for the weekend was getting to tilted

[willow aurora]

the teams are horrendous today

[willow aurora]

gj getting promoted

[analog jungle]

I love people complaining about people doing nothing in a autoloader tank when they just reloading

[ornate spoke]

Rumours about new fearless tank, T49 Fearless?

[median kettle]

depends on the autoloader to be fair. Like a borat or a TVP should probably be relocating to a flank rather than just sitting still but yea teams are bad

[analog jungle]

Tvp did top dmg supporting my teammates. My teammates went to aggressive positions and asked me to bail them out when I’m reloading

[woven pilot]

It was alright two hours ago now it’s starting to be annoying
I was a game away of Diamond but NPCs started to spawn

[analog jungle]

Yep I was blocked for no reason twice

[woven pilot]

Trying to rig maybe ?

[analog jungle]

No just pure stupidity

[woven pilot]

I see

[river ermine]

Hello

[rugged zinc]

Hello

[woven pilot]

Oh yeah forgot to post it as well here, just wanted to thanks everyone who helped me to achieve something that I thought I wouldn’t accomplish. A couple of years ago the best I could do was gold. Now I can reach Platinum without problem. Thanks again guys and good luck in ratings.

[smoky dawn]

took you over 1 year to get better? Damn

[willow aurora]

its as if everyone gets better at their own pace

[smoky dawn]

I am not talking about every average player

[median kettle]

Ugh got to get back to the rating slog want to get over 5500 and think that should be enough for top 5 hopefully

[hardy raven]

nice ping

[woven pilot]

You never talk in this channel it’s funny that you say this.
It didn’t took me one year to "get better." I never mentioned a year. It took me a couple of months to learn and to get better. Reaching Diamond when you have school isn’t as easy.

[analog jungle]

I mean the top 5 guys have a strong lead over others. Just maintain it and you got it.

[woven pilot]

That’s true and i’m aiming for this

[rugged zinc]

Nice

[ornate spoke]

congratulations bro. you deserve it. i hope to see you in the top 10 in future

[woven pilot]

Yeah to see my name in the news 🤓

[ornate spoke]

Hopefully I can hit 5500 today

[dreamy summit]

bruh

[ornate spoke]

what

[dreamy summit]

mods deleted the message don't worry about it

[ornate spoke]

alr

[dreamy summit]

Did the COVIL guys get banned or something? I haven't seen them in a min

[winter elbow]

I remember at 1 point, I had a 450 point lead 😂

[ornate spoke]

i saw killerbr yesterday. they might be taking a break

[analog jungle]

You had a 350 point lead over me lol

[jade gust]

first time in plat, only lost two battles on the way up

[analog jungle]

Nice

[jade gust]

thnx

[woven pilot]

Search my name in Diamond now lol

[crimson fable]

M and plat ? congrats dude

[novel stump]

be ready guys

[nimble wadi]

Ready for what??

[tepid stag]

Is this true ?

[ornate spoke]

thought it was going to be a premium varient

[nimble wadi]

Looks sus

[tender willow]

Yes, but tbh I don’t feel anything special about it. Probably a copy and paste tank with different skin

[analog jungle]

WG will tweak something like they did with the LorraineF vs the regular one

[analog jungle]

They won’t change until fall szn Oct-Nov like they did with the LorrF

Or since it’s been leaked, earliest spring szn April-May (but highly unlikely, but WG can surprise us).

[willow aurora]

watch 10 second reload t49 with 300 heat pen
missiles included

[woven pilot]

Make t8 great again!

[nimble wadi]

Tier 8 will never be great again.

[kindred flower]

T49 Fearless 🔵

[marsh frost]

so what are the requirements?
edit, nvm

[ornate spoke]

What in the name of marvel is that. That is the ugliest reskin for a rating tank

[willow aurora]

its not the rating tank

[ornate spoke]

i just realized that was from pc wot i am not intelligent

[woven pilot]

Can confirm

[ornate spoke]

understandable have a nice day sir

[kindred flower]

Still better than this

[ornate spoke]

id take french rooster reskin over iron man derp launcher

[median kettle]

Can I trade in a Lorraine fearless for a certain other french medium with 20ish second reload

[strong island]

“T49, I don’t feel so good…” - RHM -B WT

[median kettle]

Guessing that's just a camo on wot PC and not really a port into blitz cuz the background is a PC map

[willow aurora]

yeah its a pc model/camo

[median kettle]

I really hope it's not a t49 fearless though kinda lame imo

[hardy raven]

looks great

[willow aurora]

only 2 things i see the T49 fearless being special for is 1. being a “flex”, 2. higher credit coeff for uprising and stuff

[near marlin]

T49 Iron (man)

[ornate spoke]

What bout the HESH shells?

[willow aurora]

regular T49 has hesh/HE

[cursive timber]

^^ we need this to balance out hull down meta

[grand sinew]

Lorraine is much better than T49

[agile sphinx]

@shy cosmos Ratings is about working out how good you are, not about playing with similar people. Tournaments are readily available for that.
Will the higher rating player steamroll the reds, or will the team handicap them enough so they can't carry? This is the challenge of ratings

Large differences in points only really happen at the start of the season with calibrating players or at very high ratings when there isn't the playerbase to put into games. However most games you see are still within a couple of hundred points, which for matching tank classes etc is very good going.

Plenty of people care about the matchmaking time, if you look at the channel you can see plenty of them complaining about it at the moment. The points system is what is making it irrelevant, not that you don't play with people on your level all the time.

[woven pilot]

Not this again 💀

[analog jungle]

Q times are a pain the less player are on. Currently waiting 8-10 mins per game for top 20 in NA. MM tries to be quick by matching players to create an average. You will rarely get a team of top players and platinum members, but a lot of teams of one diamond and gold players to speed up mm vs a team of platinum players which doesn’t look fair. Typically we don’t mind this because you’re guaranteed points when the team loses and slightly faster mm. If you take losses personally then yeah it’s draining.

Well it’s kinda mm fault. Between 3.8-4.2 and 4.8-5.2 these are the most difficult time because mm up “ratings” you. These are the zones most players are stuck at.

You’re either top player of a very bad team or you’re getting tested against better players.

[undone pulsar]

It’s almost like there should be a limit to how many different levels are in a match, in the same way that battles are only +1/-1

The other way is limiting the spread of rating points from high to low to 1,000

[nimble wadi]

In ratings my skill (or lack of it) has more impact on how I do regardless of my team. So it really shouldn’t matter what kind of team you get, as long as you play as well as you can.

I’m getting used to not caring about wins or losses. Just how well I personally play and working on getting better myself.

[muted shuttle]

It’s already there as a rule. It’s just due to the lack of players the rule gets loosened too much so you can end up having diamond vs gold, or perhaps even silver at times

[woven pilot]

Can confirm for the gold but I haven’t faced any silver yet and I hope it won’t happens

[analog jungle]

I wrote a nice essay but but yeah it’s due to lack of players. Maybe rework rewards like 50 gold booster to top 20 and eu equivalent or decrease the amount of time for the reward tank.

Tanks are out for 2 years ish (24 months roughly) if you just reach diamond for 5 parts you can get the tank in 17 szn . (14 normal months and 3 double so 20 months)

There are currently more LorraineF than Is6F

[sharp path]

I mean, it was Harder to get the is6 since U werent Able to Progress AS fast for half of the time is6 was available

[woven pilot]

I agree not gonna lie
@analog jungle Where did you check this

[analog jungle]

Scratch that it’s least popular played

@woven pilot https://blitzanalysiz.com/update/9.5/

[woven pilot]

Thanks

[glossy raptor]

Isn’t this just the amount of people who played the tank during 9.5 and not the actual amount of people who have it?

[analog jungle]

Yeah that’s where I was wrong.

[undone pulsar]

It’s why I want 5v5 on smaller maps. 50-75% map area, tighter skill level matches and more critical decision making

[dreamy summit]

I think you should just let players do whatever and go against who ever they want. At least for NA because these long queues aren't worth it. I know for a fact I won't play ratings at this high level again because of the sheer commitment you need to put it. Also, to make the commitment worth it I would highly recommend better rewards. To be fairly honest a t8 is basically useless compared to the effort put in.

[willow aurora]

the double season i pushed top 10 (i came 11th 😭) the queue times were bad, even near the end of it. id sometimes get insta queued then put on a waiting list for like 10-15 minutes or even more

[dreamy summit]

Today I wanted to play ratings but because I'm too high up I can't get into a game anymore. I'm just trying to get top 5 and I know that I can't play much around the last week of ratings. Watching people catch up from below but not being able to play sucks. WG gotta start looking over this mode.

[willow aurora]

its more just of an NA problem unfortunately, as the other servers dont have as bad queues times high up as NA

[analog jungle]

Yeah that’s why I now will stick to top 20 for 3 months to get the rewards. You really have wait forever to maintain top 5. Pushing top 10 for 1k gold isn’t worth it either.

[nimble wadi]

I don’t think WG is going to prioritize fixing ratings for just NA. It’s just too small an issue.

[analog jungle]

The system is fine, we just need more players. They just need to incentivize players to choose ratings.

For an example a free xp boost instead of xp boost. Xp boost makes no sense because top players aren’t grinding tanks for the next tier. Or 50 gold boosters for top 20. The ratings order brought in a ton of people too.

Not as long as @dreamy summit

[nimble wadi]

@analog jungle But that’s not going to make it better for those at the top. Already the more skilled players who want to are playing ratings. Gold boosters probably won’t entice them to play.

WG would need to put in a special tank that would be harder to get and that might get more skilled players. Perhaps a reward that spans several ratings seasons?

Just getting more low skilled players would only make it less of a wait time for us middle level players I fear.

[analog jungle]

Well there are 3 types top players. They want the Lorraine, they want the gold or they just grind camo/avatar like me. I know some of the players already have Lorraine so they are playing for the gold, camo/avatars.

[kindred flower]

There's other type of player who only plays rating to keep their good stats

[nimble wadi]

I’m playing ratings to get better at playing and to not get penalized for a random bad team as long as I play well.

[dreamy summit]

Ratings doesn't help when it comes to that because most of the tanks that people usually play in pubs is different from ratings. Also, pubs isn't as passive as ratings.

[willow aurora]

i rarely know anyone who plays ratings for that reason

[median kettle]

idk I think maps are already too small 50-75% of the map size sounds miserable. I'd be down for same map size 5v5s

[undone pulsar]

I’d like to clarify I mean shrinking by only 25% which to me would make things intense

[median kettle]

No I know but I still think the maps are too small for mediums and lights especially in ratings especially compared to all the fast heavies coming into the game. Think 5v5s would open the map up a bit for them

[willow aurora]

make the 5A go 50 kph again 😵‍💫

[nimble wadi]

@dreamy summit Tanks are tanks. I’m not really bothered by what type is being used. Just have to play to their weaknesses and use your strengths.

I find pubs are sometimes the same as ratings as far as YOLO and camping.

[ornate spoke]

Since I'm going back to work my schedule only gives me 2 hours in total to play and get 50 points but queue is so terrible that I'm now debating if I aim for top 20 since I'm seeing other ppl sky rocket and catch up fast which is shocking me and scaring me

[woven pilot]

If you don’t work the weekend you know what to do

[ornate spoke]

I'm off on weekends and I'm going to have to hope I gain as much points I can

[ornate spoke]

yes please. obj 260 speedy too

[woven pilot]

Same
@willow aurora How’s 5A in ratings in general

[willow aurora]

when i used it it worked fine, others might say otherwise tho

[ornate spoke]

5a is a solid tank and good for doing most task. you got a 130mm gun with good reload. troll armor (from my experience) which works fine. mobility is there. good tank

[ornate spoke]

was able to reach 50 point goal last hour thankfully 🙏
hope rest of yall had a good run

[woven pilot]

Gonna try it tomorrow
Haven’t gained a lot tonight because some of the players I get can’t literally move

[willow aurora]

5A basically trades armour for dpm and a little bit of speed, it would be nice if it went 50 kph still tho

[woven pilot]

I agree not gonna lie, and the tank got a fast aim time and it’s one of my favorites tanks
Thanks to both of you

[willow aurora]

i forgot to mention that the 5A accuracy is pretty good lmao

[woven pilot]

Yeah lol that’s why I like it

[raw rain]

Now WG in problems with rating I thought 🤔. Every battle with 5200 i have players with 3600 ,but when i play early with 4000 i played with 5000+ players every battle. Its too odd to play with YouTubers and pro players like i play with 7star members.My opinion is that the rating is broken

[willow aurora]

you get to play with gold league players at 5.2k??? actual luxury right there

[violet urchin]

Ez

[analog jungle]

I get to play with calibration people at 5k

[ornate spoke]

relatable

[elder thicket]

The gold and non calibrated were the top performers , how could that be with the vast difference in skill levels between diamond and gold 😂

[analog jungle]

I was waiting 10 mins for a battle and forgot it started. Team was split and I didn’t stay alive long enough and spot early enough.

[median kettle]

Any of you high ranked players playing today? What tier?

[dreamy summit]

t10 (I can go t8 if you want)

[median kettle]

I don't think I'm going to be able to play today if queue times are going to be 30 minutes

[ornate spoke]

im playing rn in tier 8 since i waited 30 mins in tier 10

[median kettle]

I'm losing my actual mind right now. Somehow that was a my fault loss doing almost double the next team mate. Bruh people just clueless. Don't know how we lost that though tbh. I instigated a push that cleared both your tds for nothing

[median kettle]

I'm going back down to 8. @dreamy summit

[dreamy summit]

I'm gonna stick with t10 for a bit but may join if queue is too long

[ornate spoke]

@median kettlei take full responsability for that one. i wanted to help you with meds and got in a odd spot. i apologize

[median kettle]

It's fine. I just wanted to spot med side get my first clip in then run to heavies. Didn't want us on that flank

[woven pilot]

Later, probably t10 if it goes well or i’ll go t8

[willow aurora]

bruh

[buoyant hearth]

idk why i cant get a match, im at 4500 range

[median kettle]

finally hitting a bit of stride going to try and get to 4450 today and call it quits

[nimble wadi]

When does this rating period end?

[keen kite]

Never

[ornate spoke]

got to 5550 i am done for the day. nice last game @median kettle that was great teamwork

[median kettle]

Yea made up for that other game lol. Was a solid game for both of us for sure. I'm also done for the day got to 4450 so pretty close to 4500 which I'm still hoping will be high enough to be top 5.

[ivory mirage]

Can anybody explain why doing 3800 damage in the 30b gets me an Ace every single game?
Not that im complaining, but it is odd

[ornate spoke]

I hope so. Cause once above 5400 you won't get double digit gains as much so leaderboard shouldn't be too crazy in position changes

[median kettle]

idk I got several double digit increases which is insane. Might be because I'm not rank 1 anymore

[keen kite]

Usually end of the month

[analog jungle]

Because you reach the xp required for an ace…

[ivory mirage]

haha i more so meant why the heck is the 30b ace so low rn
Somehow 1267 xp was still an ace which seems wrong

[dreamy summit]

Bruh why cobra messi making calls and losing every game I'm with him

[keen kite]

He’s playing at a different level we can’t comprehend

[buoyant hearth]

im gonna sleep away with this 🫠

9mins now 🥲 I guess tier 7 isnt meant to get camos

[ornate spoke]

💀

[dreamy summit]

imagine your team goes med side just to shoot the heavy side and lose to the meds at the end

[keen kite]

At least ur teammates play the game, I get like at least 1 afk a game

[dreamy summit]

RIP

[buoyant hearth]

alright im convinced there is only 50 people playing in ratings, its ridiculous today for my rating level to wait this long

[willow aurora]

agreed

[nimble wadi]

I’m not waiting long. Of course I’m not that skilled so..

[median kettle]

Not the worst player to have when he's in a 9 in an 8 game but uh kinda troll at 10 ngl

[nimble wadi]

What tier do most of you play?

[willow aurora]

8/10 and 9

[analog jungle]

This is NA ratings basically, and all the top players are the same people over and over again.

[ivory mirage]

Teams got like 10 times worse over the past 2 hours idk what happened

[ornate spoke]

It's so random you can't even have hope you get a good team you just wing it in the battle and hope for best

[nimble wadi]

I’ve been gaining points all night. I just stopped trying to win so much and just focus on doing damage, spotting and surviving to the end.

[ivory mirage]

Its gotten to a point where i know how people play the maps and so its easy to catch them off guard

[woven pilot]

How’s going tonight

[willow aurora]

mediocre

[woven pilot]

L

[nimble wadi]

@ivory mirage Good luck figuring out my plans. I’m all over the place. 🤣🤣

[ivory mirage]

Please be on my team 😂

[nimble wadi]

@ivory mirage If I could I would. Last few games I’ve been the only medium on my team.

[ivory mirage]

How the heck? Almost every game i played tonight was 5 meds/lights per team

[ornate spoke]

Gud

[woven pilot]

Yesterday I was getting a lot of full heavies 💀

[ornate spoke]

I will never forget the time where everyone in the match was heavies. Greatest battle

[woven pilot]

I’m starting to experience the long time queues

[hallow hill]

lol

And long time queue is restarting

[woven pilot]

True

[hallow hill]

04:30 waiting

[woven pilot]

Got some instant games lol

[hallow hill]

I hope to reach 5300 tomorrow,,

[wind moon]

_Skittlez#1486 was banned

[woven pilot]

We’ve been up to 6k before in February

@Felix.#3033 to answer question below

This happened when they change the point systems to gain points on a loss. Also the new reward tank just came out so everyone was grinding it.

[ornate spoke]

is it rare for it to happen or its every few months it happens?@analog jungle

[analog jungle]

It’s been slowly decreasing every month because all the good players already have the tank. Its limited to how many battles you guys (top 5) can get before the szn is over.

Today a lot of top players were on so a lot of people climbed up fast. More top players on = more battles = more points

[ornate spoke]

i see.

[median kettle]

Yea there were a bunch of us on earlier today. Wasn't actually too bad for queue times

[hallow hill]

Guys, anyone know why my matchmaking time is too long?
At least 2~3min, Max is 15min

[ornate spoke]

its mm trying to match you with players with similar points. also 2-3mins is good. higher you go the longer you wait which could be a hour

[hallow hill]

What.. hour???

[ornate spoke]

yes you can wait a hour some times

[hallow hill]

Holly..

[willow aurora]

welcome to NA ratings

[median kettle]

I waited 30 minutes early today. I'd be ecstatic to only be in queue for 2-3 minutes

[hallow hill]

Hmm..

[kindred flower]

move to eu

I envy NA, shouldn't the long queue discourage no0bs from playing rating?

[willow aurora]

no, because it only really happens in top 10-30, and if anything shouldn’t some of the EU players come to NA 🤔

[kindred flower]

there are noobs in top 30 they spam a lot of battles

[cold python]

I’m ranked platinum on NA. I could grind up higher. I just don’t feel like dealing with teams

[ornate spoke]

yeah ratings can be draining mentally at times

[dreamy summit]

what tier u playing?

[ornate spoke]

10 rn since i waited too long in 8
i got into 1 battle so far in tier 10 thats it

[ivory mirage]

high rating 10s have been quick queues

[ornate spoke]

[ivory mirage]

Sadly its all the tvp players 🤣

[woven pilot]

[ornate spoke]

[shadow wyvern]

I wish supremacy mode would happen less often in ranked since we dont get a choice
