its just harder normal battlers

severe dagger
#

its not worth losing a 8 matches for 30 points

#

i just started 3170 today and ended with 3067

#

im serious

white blade
#

started at 3300 2 days ago now 5300

severe dagger
#

funny

#

its not about having team filled with 45% wr golegs

#

they need to balance rating matches like losing 30-20 points

narrow isle
#

WG must make low rating players league !!!

#

to not let them to play together with high rating players

#

players up to 2999 together

#

players up to 3999 together

#

and from 4000 ~ together

native marten
#

bruh imagine those spicy queue times

#

it's gonna be like 5 minutes for the average player and like literal eternity for people above 4k

sonic sedge
#

Well I can certify that ‘I’ won & got the highest score out of both teams so my points should have gone up the most but no! 🙄 Last player left standing on my side. Port Bay.

agile sphinx
#

@sonic sedge Firstly, no spotting no assisted damage quite fair to assume that you were farming instead of doing anything useful so you don't deserve anything, secondly how many times do you have to be told to stop complaining???

native marten
#

did stevo just ask for rating points to purely be distributed by damage

sonic sedge
lime sparrow
#

Outstanding haha

fallen mortar
#

Wow I know people avging more than that 🤣

lean zenith
#

I can do the same stuff in a t7, and probably also a t6

blissful portal
#

Yes ratings are just no competitive any more 3 days in a row with just trash bots

#

They day this changes it will be just awesome

#

3 hours to get in battle and when you get in is for a loss

#

I started really good and now i cant keep on going up amazing my luck lmao

median wagon
#

Ok

odd bronze
#

You will get ranked points if you do good so why even bother complaining?

blissful portal
#

Cause you do over 3k dmg and lose points, you do over 3k dmg winning and you get 10 points but when you lose you lose more than 10

#

Points system is just disgusting

undone vortex
#

Lol it works pretty well actually

blissful portal
#

Nah, it doesnt

undone vortex
#

I mean I was fine with the point system even at 6.5k rating +

blissful portal
#

Here at NA is horrible... but i dont think it differs from region

undone vortex
#

I mean teams are bad in every server it's just how u adapt

blissful portal
#

Yes i agree with that, im talking about the points system when you win or lose

undone vortex
#

Uh yeah obviously point system is the same in every server

odd bronze
#

I don’t get one thing about point system , when I play with tier 7 tank and do more dmg than tier 8 teammates I lose more points than them

ornate spoke
#

Yes i agree with that, im talking about the points system when you win or lose
@blissful portal Only issue with ratings is how many points you loose sometimes even when your team is terrible. Ive lost 18 points on a 5k damage loss at the top of platinum league. Outside of that ratings are fine, if other people can make diamond deapite the noobs then maybe its not the teams skill that holds u back.

blissful portal
#

@ornate spoke Yes that has no sense sometimes you get more points for how many eliminations you got, sometimes for the damage, sometimes for the position at the end of the battle, etc

hazy bronze
#

@blissful portal is much easier to climb at later stages of month then begin of month

lime sparrow
#

I lowkey am contemplating spamming a SU152 in ratings
Rack up the module damage, nuke the light tanks, and p**s off everybody
What ya'll think

yes

Did u guys ever wonder why so few players play rating battles although it has been released for quite some time now? In other multiplayer games it is completely normal to play only competitive mode. The reason why this happens is the way the stats are being represented. When u open a players profile all u see is his winrate. The rating is pushed in the corner and is being resetted every month. Everyone cares about their stats. People even create 2nd or a 3rd account just to have beautiful looking profile. The current status of a player is primarly being decided bu his wr, not his rating. All u need to do to attract more players to rating is reorganizing the stats representation on the profile to something like this:

#

Show primarily stats of the latest period of time/battles, not the career stats. This way u dont have to worry about being held for a worse player then u are. Making the rating the main representation of a players skill level is WGs responsibility. It will hardly change on its own.

#

On top of that u could increase the credit earning. Despite current bonuses it is far easier to grind credits on normal battles. U could even divide the leagues into 4-5 divisions. to make it better more esthetic. No one likes to look at those ugly numbers

#

I just hope i didnt write all this for nothing

odd bronze
#

Agree

balmy lily
#

If u guys agree tag the wg staff so that they would see it

next gull
#

1/ Here is another issue : there is no WG staff around.
2/ stop trying to be constructive. This place is for complaining about teams and MM
3/ before DMing me, be aware that there might be some irony in my messages.

Who are the guys labelled as wargaming then : D?

lucid zinc
#

can anyone tell me a good tank for rating? @ me when u answer

median wagon
#

@lucid zinc tech tree, FV301, VK 100, tiger 2

lucid zinc
#

dont have them purchased but i have them researched

agile sphinx
#

Panther 1, JPII if you can use it, standard b if you can use it, WT is easy farming

#

T62A and 268 for tier 10 as well, or literally any tier 10 heavy

lucid zinc
#

for who wants to help i can send all my tanks

median wagon
#

Go ahead

restive dawn
#

just take the 252u and bring balance to the ratings

median wagon
#

Or spam your AX

warm charm
#

T49 low key op in ratings

median wagon
#

Not until you meet AX

restive dawn
#

or 252

calm quail
#

T49 vs russian side armour is a massive joke

sonic sedge
#

@lucid zinc foch, black prince or tigerP for other tanks in the tech tree. You’ll mostly come up against higher tiers but these tanks can hold their own, I’ve seen some play the helsing too but not every map will suit that tank.

restive dawn
#

those 200 he rolls are just 👌

fallen mortar
#

I wouldn't recommend black prince due to low pen and relatively ineffective armor profile as well as terrible mobility

median wagon
#

It’s broken

fallen mortar
#

Only against T6 and some T7 against T8 there is not much it can do espacially against heavys that can angle

#

Foch is a turret less td considering teams it has some serious disadvantages due to people not supporting you when needed or they don't spot but it has armor that works pretty well against mediums and low tier tanks

#

Piger is a decent choice even tho I'd prefer Tiger I that has better mobility and a really good turret and only sacrifices a bit of armor

median wagon
#

Man what is this dumb heavy spam, it’s sooo damn boring and unfair

#

Why the hell did WG give heavies so much health
Oh yes because the easiest class to play 100% deserved a buff

pine falcon
#

isnt td the easiest class to play? like you sit at the back and only oscillate around a single position

odd bronze
#

its not, because of being turretless

restive dawn
#

you can sit in any tank

#

but camping well is harder than driving a heavy to facehug

native marten
#

dude sitting behind a bush is without a doubt one of the most energy consuming activities you could ever do

restive dawn
#

you actaully need brains to be in the right bush and move to better one

median wagon
#

Camping is one of the most toxic things you can do

restive dawn
#

why tho? people are stupid enough to poke around the corner you're watching and cry about getting a hit, doesnt that make peaking more toxic?

agile sphinx
#

Peeking is agressive and promotes active gameplay, camping is the opposite. Sniping is fine if you are getting damage in but as soon as you are "covering" someone who isn't exposing and you aren't trying to reposition you are useless and your team might as well be in a 6v7. If you do that by choice then that's pretty toxic

restive dawn
#

are the people toxic over it or is the play style toxic?

median wagon
#

Both

restive dawn
#

how can a playstyle be toxic?

median wagon
#

Camping is pretty lazy and only noobs do it really, all you’re doing is sitting in the same spot without moving for more shots

agile sphinx
#

Playstyles that ruin it for your teammates are toxic, and imo any toxicity back at them is fully deserved 🤷‍♀️

median wagon
#

In ratings it is full of these campers, especially smashers

#

For example, this newbie who got 100% got T-22 out of his first crate, he just stayed back instead of pushing with the T92E1

#

I have irreversible scars from seeing this

restive dawn
median wagon
#

And that’s why I hate the 183

restive dawn
#

if camping is toxic why am i not the one saying f u and it's the batchat

median wagon
#

You’ve basically crippled him in 1 shot, so I’d expect him to be annoyed

restive dawn
#

people being toxic over a hit is not because cAmPiNg iS tOxIc it's because the peopl getting hit are toxic

#

if i did that shot from 20 meters away it would not be toxic cause then i wasnt camping anymore?

median wagon
#

The tank you’re using is also toxic

restive dawn
#

also the map is toxic?

median wagon
#

Your tank’s alpha and camping

restive dawn
#

i see we have a same exact problem here as why people suck in the game, RiGgEd mM, mY tEaM OnLy MoRoNs (making you a one), eNeMy aLwAyS bEtTeR. just people finding excuses from everything they can beacuse how could a player itself be toxic
everything else is toxic for sure

agile sphinx
#

@restive dawn Both are as toxic as each other, your toxic camping triggered his toxicity so it's your playstyle that's the issue. If you weren't camping then it would require skill from you and a worse mistake from him.

median wagon
#

People suck in this game because WG’s tutorial is bad

#

And the fact the shop is directly accessible by a complete newbie

restive dawn
#

so beacuse i am playing a tank i like the way i like i am criminal and should be sent to jail because someone i hit just got offended

#

i am playing only 183 in ratings this season come and meet me

median wagon
#

Ain’t playing tier X gladly

neat slate
#

you should make a montage of every time someone rages at you in your 183

restive dawn
#

that could be it

agile sphinx
#

Because you are ruining the game for both your team and the reds you deserve all the toxicity you can get 🤷‍♀️ It should be your own responsibility to realise that actually you are one of the issues with tier 10 and to stop but hey some people just can't be helped

restive dawn
#

i am playing 183 just to ruin peoples days

median wagon
#

That’s toxic

#

And it’s 100% justifiable that someone rages when over 75% of their HP gets taken in one shot

restive dawn
#

why would it be justifiable if you were the stupid one to come to the open and let it hit you

#

that is again you getting toxic due your lack of situanational awareness

median wagon
#

Ok?

agile sphinx
#

Because you are the one creating the issue fully just because you are selfish. You cannot be aware of an unspotted tank in the first place and being aware of every single tank is not possible even if they are spotted.

restive dawn
#

i understand i would feel sad and annoyed for getting a hit too but what is wrong in their minds to open a chat and write out loud their toxicity? FOCUS the next time to not to take a hit then, play better

median wagon
#

It’s not a good amount of HP to work with

restive dawn
#

and you cannot like say it in your head or in your room you have to let everyone else in the game know that oopsie i took a big hit and now i need to focus to stay alive?

balmy lily
#

U guys need to understand that there is a difference between 40% standing in the same spot the whole game regardless the situation and a pro taking noobs out from behind

agile sphinx
#

Again you can't do anything against an unspotted tank unless you base your entire playstyle around avoiding all possible camping spots which is just disgusting to do. If he's letting you know that what you are doing is just pitiful and sad then good on him

balmy lily
#

"toxic camping" lmao

restive dawn
#

to remove the toxicity the best way is to remove the chat

balmy lily
#

just keep it muted. The amount of people getting offended by "toxic camping" is too damn high

agile sphinx
#

Or just to not camp in a 183 in the first placd

balmy lily
#

yeah play it like a heavy and have 45%

restive dawn
#

dunno about you but i play avoiding as much camping spots as possible suprisingly you dont take a lot shots from unspotted tds - who would have known

pine falcon
#

the only map on which you can not avoid TDs is Castila, Other than that I don't have any issues with tds

agile sphinx
#

@balmy lily If you can't play the tank then that isn't anyone elses problem.

@restive dawn Then you play horrifically boring games

restive dawn
#

isnt it boring to take a -1300 in a first peak

median wagon
#

Camping is toxic because it rewards people for doing nothing, and plus how don’t you get bored of it? It’s such a slow playstyle

balmy lily
#

Are u from USA by any chance? getting offended by everything

neat slate
#

and campers are only rewarded because the average player just drives foward into the open then parks there

restive dawn
#

nah we got enough offenders in eu too

median wagon
#

@balmy lily who did you ask that to

agile sphinx
#

It's worth taking 1300 max for all the times the camper will miss, splash etc or just not be there and you actually get to have a fun game where you can be agressive

balmy lily
#

@balmy lily If you can't play the tank then that isn't anyone elses problem.

Pls enlighten me with ur wisdom

pine falcon
#

@restive dawn I am puzzled on how well you do in your deathstar

#

like I know the deathstar is still somewhat usable but every single one I see just gets spotted and everyone just focuses it

restive dawn
#

i honestly like the idea of the rage compilation feat. DS in ratings

#

is it allowed to show any names tho?

balmy lily
#

footage from every multiplayer game is being uploaded to youtube and streamed so there shouldnt be a problem

restive dawn
agile sphinx
#

open?

neat slate
#

Honestly, no matter what tank you play, if you damage and or kill someone, chances are they will start throwing a tantrum. On the EU server anyway

rose path
#

Сhrist almighty how are people nearing 5.5K already????
This is the first time I have ever seen this happen first week into a season

#

The one season I decide to take it easy and slow down Im already miles behind smh

pine falcon
#

5.5k was reached on the first day of rating like 5 seasons ago

rose path
#

As in like the diamond leaderboard is already full along with platinum!!!

#

Last season no one was even in diamond the first few days, its only the 1st week into july wtf

restive dawn
fallen mortar
#

183 is just a tank and if you're careful you won't get shot by it

#

Also u cant play too different with it since WG killed its Camo so it has to rely on camping

queen lichen
#

Or, just play it more aggressively? The tank also got accuracy nerfs on top of everything else so just play up close. You’re gonna get spotted either way might as well play where you can land your shots

lime sparrow
#

You play aggresive, u get melted.

queen lichen
#

I’m not saying play like a damn maus or something. Play second line

fallen mortar
#

Your mobility and armor doesn't support too aggressive gameplay imo it only works on maps with good hiding position

ornate spoke
#

What is a good calibration and do you actually make a good amount of extra credits in platinum and diamond. Trying to figure out if it is worth the grind

fallen mortar
#

Good Cali is 4k + and in diamond its a noticeable amount

agile sphinx
#

66% extre credits and xp over 5k I think

hazy bronze
#

@ornate spoke As long make platinum league and up then start to notice the credits really it just how much battle you want to play

warm charm
#

It’s not worth the grind if u just want creds and xp, it’s only worth if u want the stuff they give u

#

However if u just want to use ratings to grind to the next tank and make creds at the same time it’s a gud idea

calm quail
#

TDs can camp, sure, but you need good decision making to choose the right position at the right moment
Tanks like the is4 and 252u are like "drive to center of action hurr durr"

rose path
#

Those two have blackholes as sidearmour, turret and hull

lime sparrow
#

Russian shenanigans

snow surge
#

Rating battles are supposed to be hard...not hard when you can buy skill from the shop ( a tier 8 HT like Action X or 252U) for 50 USD. Ridiculous.

hazy bronze
#

I would love to see if someone could play the t28 get 5k plus only play t28 nothing else

sick leaf
#

It’s not even 50 dollars. The 252u was only 8.5k gold!

ornate spoke
#

@snow surge You can't buy skill. The things you need to do well at the game aren't sold in the store.

balmy lily
#

cooldown boosters, playing already on T8 without premium account and using consumables several times per battle, provisions and premium ammo will make u broke in no time. Enhanced engine boost costs 8400 credits for T10 vehicles. That is insanely high. So if u dont have premium account and dont want to make minus credits while playing on a high tier u have to put urself at a disadvantage. The said things will maybe add only a few percent and it mostly depends on the skill, but it is nevertheless an indirect pay to win. Besides of this premium tanks are infamous for being strong (löwe, obj 252, smasher)

undone vortex
#

The good thing is T10 is not yet p2w

balmy lily
#

Furthermore, really frustrating is the fact, that u are able to use premium tanks at tournaments. The ability to choose from more tanks than the opponent puts u at an advantage, because u can apply more tactics and team combinations

#

@Maddaxkkm[E7] how is T10 different then from other tiers? Everything i said applies to it as well

undone vortex
#

I get that T10 has prems means that u get access to tanks which others don't but it's not p2w because the tech tree tanks in that tier are equally good or better

desert kite
#

@balmy lily How is the Löwe overpowered seriously?

balmy lily
#

strong /= overpowered. It just means that it performs well compared to other tanks in its tier. U wouldnt prefer an IS-6 over lowe in tournament would you?

#

and we dont need to argue about that based on personal experience since we can simply look at stats

desert kite
#

The Löwe is of course a good tank I like to play, but it’s not amongst the premiums I would complain about being spammed at tier 8 and being overpowered.

balmy lily
#

I wont argue with that, I just wanted to make a comment on the statement of @ornate spoke

ornate spoke
#

I guess I've just moved past the point of seeing over powered tanks. I see over powered players. Every tank in this game has exploitable weaknesses. It's on the players to find and exploit those weaknesses.

When I get beat down by a player the vast majority of the time it isn't because of the tank they are driving.

balmy lily
#

You are right, but it does not mean that tanks shouldn't be balanced as well as possible. Climbing up to diamond with T28 would be a lot greater challenge then with obj 252

ornate spoke
#

Not a great comparison.

undone vortex
#

Pls don't use T28 as an example when it's one of the worst tier 8s among tech trees alone

ornate spoke
#

The game is geared towards Heavies being the alpha tank.

#

A better comparison would be the 252 vs the Tiger 2. In that example with all other things being equal the end result would be very close to / if not the same.

balmy lily
#

A better comparison would be the 252 vs the Tiger 2. In that example with all other things being equal the end result would be very close to / if not the same.
@ornate spoke because tiger 2 is almost as strong as obj, meanwhile T28 a pile of trash. And if u cant climb with TD's as well as with heavies it means that the rating system is badly balanced

ornate spoke
#

TD's are meant to be a support tank. Which by default you are going to be more reliant upon your team. The T28 is one of the worst of the group so you'll be double reliant upon your team.

Like it or not this is a team game. Certain tanks can share more of the carry burden than others but at the end of the day it's a team effort to get the win.

#

Wargaming has made it known that Heavies are meant to be the meta. If you are going to play other supporting classes of tanks you either need to be very good in them or accept the fact that your fate is tied to the abilities of other players on your team doing their job.

balmy lily
#

@ornate spoke I think players should still be able to climb with any tank despite the current meta. After all, the rating point system is supposed to reward for personal performance. By giving slightly more points for damage could solve this problem. Btw, could u make a statement on what I said yesterday on stats representation?

ornate spoke
#

Players can still climb if they excel at their craft. A excellent TD or Medium player will know where they need to be to get the job done despite what their team is doing. It's just the game in it's current state makes it easier to play in heavies. This is why your heavy vs TD comparison falls flat.

Personally I preferred the Medium meta in the pre 3.# days but that's just my opinion.

I don't recall what you wrote yesterday.

balmy lily
#

@ornate spoke

ornate spoke
#

I'd be fine with 30 day performance being shown. I think it is a better indicator of actual game performance then career stats.

balmy lily
#

I came here because I want a change on this matter. In other skill based games the competitive rating represents the skill level, not mixed stats of how good u used to be and are now. Something like winrate doenst even exist in most games, only the rank.

ornate spoke
#

Except that my 30 day wn8 is worse than my career 😢

balmy lily
#

Until this get changed rating battles will never be more popular then normal battles. The way it is now holds me back from playing. If I play only rating now after thousands of battles my stats would look as bad as they are now, meanwhile the rank is not being taken serious

ornate spoke
#

I would like to to see 30 day avg tier and wr. I don't want a hazy unclear ranking system. 30 day avg tier and WR tells me everything I need to know.

balmy lily
#

It is hazy and unclear because no one plays it and people arent used to it. Through the lack of players the teams arent even made of same skilled players, but rather being mixed. Introducing divisions instead of pale numbers and maybe adding more leagues would help on the visual part. If enough players would play it, after a while u would only be placed with players that are about equally good. But of course im not against 30 day stats or stats in general, I just want the rating to be the main thing

fallen mortar
#

I don't get the part where people complain that they never have skilled teams have you ever played at rankings of 5,5k and above? If you play at a normal time you'll get matched with very good players

balmy lily
#

Yes mainly, but u get a lot of times players thrown in that can have over 1000 points difference

#

and sometimes there are 1-3 good players on every team and it becomes a race who can kill bots faster

ornate spoke
#

I won't play ratings. The time availability isn't friendly for when I'm free and the rewards aren't worth the extra time spent in queue.

I won't play ratings. The time availability isn't friendly for when I'm free and the rewards aren't worth the extra time spent in queue.

I guarantee you that if you meet skilled players you'll complain about that you get clapped

#

I guarantee you that if you meet skilled players you'll complain about that you get clapped
@fallen mortar U are supposed to meet players of equal skill level. If I meet someone way above my skill level it means them mathchmaker is not good

fallen mortar
#

You shouldn't be able to climb infinitely in ranked there should be a line where you keep meeting people with insane skill that clap you out of existence

ornate spoke
#

Lol. Why would you only want to play against same skill players? That sounds stagnant as hell and offers no push for improvement. Playing against better players drives me to want to do better.

fallen mortar
#

You shouldn't be able to climb infinitely in ranked there should be a line where you keep meeting people with insane skill that clap you out of existence

balmy lily
#

Because that is climbing up/descending works (atleast in most games). If u outperform the current players u are matched with it means u are better then them and get a better rank. Then u are being challenged with better players. It is mostly how it already works isnt it? If u are in diamond u will be mostly only be placed with diamonds, while both teams having similar average raing = same skill level.

#

You shouldn't be able to climb infinitely in ranked there should be a line where you keep meeting people with insane skill that clap you out of existence
@fallen mortar And u only will climb further if u can outplay the best players. At least that's how a good rating system works.

fallen mortar
#

I must admit I haven't been hit by a single rocket in a for me very long time

#

I got hit once in my obj 268 in idk 40 battles and before that even more battles I wasn't shot by missiles as well I don't know how you get shot or hit all the time but I don't

median wagon
#

Probably because his team supported him well, allowing him to spam rockets, also what was annoying is that I couldn’t pen his side with HE

neat slate
#

I get hit by the occasional missile, but it’s definitely having a much less significant impact now.
Still an annoying mechanic though

#

It’s weekend and the game is unplayable

pine falcon
#

its a friday....

next gull
#

A bit late, but there are tanks that perform better, i.e. any player will have better stats than he should expect at that tier and in that tank type.
I would call these tanks OP.

#

8 losses in a row in ratings, still unplayable game. No wonder with 4 clanless players on my team

pine falcon

oh booo hooo. Cry me a river

I hate that mindset of clanless = noob. I was clanless for around a year, and that was the top insult I got lmao

Clanless = noob > 90% of the time, happy now @neat slate ?

restive dawn
#

If you were clanless would you fullfill that definition

fallen mortar
#

Yes can would 😂

rose path
#

Can ranked count to stats pls, pretty sure my 90 days now has barely changed since I play ratings so much

pine falcon
#

if rating counts to stats the rerolls, which probably make 15-25% of the rating player base are going to leave further killing the game mode. The only way rating can be improved, is for the current version to be left behind and a new approach to be taken.

lime sparrow
#

And that’s only gonna work if enough people play ratings

median wagon
#

If ratings counted towards stats, rip some 60wr tank stats

warm charm
#

If ratings had a soft reset over a hard reset it would be much more balanced, rn u got pros just making it to plat and some 40%ers still hanging around high gold

It seems like everyone here just wants to be the first, not taking into account their capabilities

#

Pros just making it into plat lmao. Making plat is super easy. I ain’t uni and I made plat on the second day last season

balmy lily
#

There is a difference between "just made into plat" and "almost diamond"

lime sparrow
#

I seriously played ratings for only one season. Almost took the entire 60 days + 1.2k battles just to go from 3.1k to 5k

Simple solution here, just have +/-500 rating matchmaking

He said pros just making into plat so idk what y’all talking about. I just referenced his post.

U have a purpl and a void and many other ppl from top clans in gold, and they’re stuck with other much less skilled players. This is what hard resets do, they mingle not skilled and skilled players, and it takes a while for the rating to actually be somewhat accurate

crimson goblet
#

they just had bad 10 calibration games, what clan they in doesnt matter

warm charm
#

Exactly, cuz everyone starts at 3k. If everyone started relative to their last season rating then this wouldn’t happen. Even if u had a bad calibration but are a gud player u should still be ahead of a bad player with good calibration

pine falcon
#

so in your logic a 60%er who does 500 dmg in each of their 10 games has to calibrate higher than a 45%er who did 2.5K in each of their games? You idea is brilliantly stupid

warm charm
#

No, I meant a bad calibration not a terrible one, for example: someone at 3200 last season starts around there, and if he wins 7/10 he’ll prob calibrate around 3600-3700. If someone was at 5.5k last season, he’ll prob start around 4.2k, and if he wins 3/10 he’ll prob calibrate around 3.9-4.0k.

#

Also having a high wr doesn’t mean ur a gud player, being a gud player means u are consistently playing at a high level and not doing 500 dmg for 10 games. Also if a 40%er does 2.5k avg he’s not a bad player, myb he just got lucky, or his wr isn’t representative of his skill

@ornate spoke to have skill means to do damage and earn xp. To do these things, good armour, speed/agility, and a penetrating gun is necessary. Many players use their skills and knowledge to make their tank's more limited characteristics shine in battle (flanking, aiming, sidescraping, hulldown, initial spotting). But with the introduction of premium "idiot-proof" tanks like the t22 medium, Def. Mk. 1, 252U, and Action X, experience in the game is not necessary to have good battle characteristics. So, comes the phrase "buying skill".

ornate spoke
#

A bad player any of those tanks will still be a bad player.

next gull
#

But still perform better than in any other tank of the same class at same tier.
In that respect, your are buying an extra skill compared to your actual one.

fallen mortar
#

Mk 1 driven by a noob is still garbage because he would show his Hull same with 252 u and t22 and action x

median wagon
#

Defender Mk1 is OP

lime sparrow
#

I wouldn't say op

median wagon
#

Why? It’s a direct upgrade over the centurion

lime sparrow
#

The Centurion's a pretty garbage tank. OP means that it can be put in any scenario and dominate in that said scenario with overwhelming efficiency.
The MK1 actually is good at its roles. The Centurion isn't.

warm charm
#

Mk1 isn’t op, just very good. Cent is mediocre

next gull
#

"dominate in that scenario" considering the skills of the player.
Corrected it for you.

worldly anvil
#

mk1 is OP, because its got 4 shell autoloader with good gun handling, basically impenetrable turret except to the highest pen rounds, decent mobility, good gun dep, and decent dpm. mk1 is the most overpowered tier 8 medium (not like tier 8 mediums were good in the first place)

warm charm
#

It’s slow af, low alpha so u can just not take all 4 shots, hull armor is a joke, it’s huge for a medium, not great camo. Basically the drawbacks it has doesn’t make it op. It is one the best t8 meds tho, but they all suck

queen lichen
#

It’s just a centurion 1 (which already performs poorly imo) with a 4 shot autoloader and the removal of the side skirts, which makes it even more vulnerable to HE

worldly anvil
#

low alpha? nearly all clip tanks have subpar alpha... thats what a clip is for. Huge for a med? No problem, give it some side armour. Its not slow for a med with that armour... Camo? Who cares about camo in hull down tanks when you're constantly exposing yourself to the opponent because you're turret is stronger than the action X's?

median wagon
#

That turret is OP, 100mm more thick than centurion’s and 76mm spaced armour plates because why not, 800 clip for a tank that is extremely good at hulldown, at least the lorraine is large and paper and has high risks when exposed

love people that complain about rating and it being wgs fault, amazing, its not the like the players in your team + yourself lose those games😂 srsly grow up, or just stop playing ratings, the skill that was needed in the past for rating is long gone,its just a process of how much can you grind and waste time

bleak crest
#

Camping premium heavies are in abundance in ratings, 30-40% wr, under 1k games, working as intended.

crimson goblet
#

u also have that in randoms,so what

warm charm
#

The problem with ratings is that u should be getting around 50% wr, since theoretically all teams should be equal. However, when u have unskilled players and bad luck, ur wr goes under 50%, which under the current rating system means u almost always lose pts, even if ur carrying every single game

ornate spoke
#

Nobody is saying you should be able to carry every game. But the fact of the matter is if you are doing your part there is no way that you should fall below 50% win rate consistently. If you are consistently below 50% win rate that is not a team or bad luck issue. That is you issue.

now tell me the sense of keeping the atgm even in the ratings, there are players who spam it and reach more than 5000 points using ONLY that type of tank. Already ruin the random games not even being able to cover behind a hill, at least in the ratings would not be better to maintain the original style of play without these tanks out of the ordinary? tell me if i'm wrong to think so

People say ATGMs are broken because they hardly turn anymore, then why are purely average players getting to the leaderboards spamming these types of braindead tanks? It’s really dumb

The tier 9’s a lil overcooked

queen lichen
#

T92 had been balanced nicely imo. Aside from the people still complaining about ATGM’s it still has a little bit of a troll upper plate, which can help you a bit. I haven’t played the Cruiser, but from what I’ve seen it is very strong, but not OP

crimson goblet
#

people will always complain about "op tanks", it will never change

worldly anvil
#

cruiser is not op? Bruh it is very OP. If i can avg more than it that most of my t10s smth is wrong (currently i butchered the stats but i can easily imporve them)

queen lichen
#

It’s still a light with the only armor existing in some degree on the manlet, not the entire front of the turret. Any competent player who knows how to hull down will perform in this tank

worldly anvil
#

lel hull down in a light tank

crimson goblet
#

why should the class matter? you can hull down in anything, the most useful thing about doing it is you lower the amount of armor you can get shot at

worldly anvil
#

class stereotypes
light tank = fast, not much armour, okay gun
med = decent of everything
heavy = slow, armoured, good gun
td = amazing gun, armour is balanced with the speed, no turret

crimson goblet
#

i was talking about why class matters when it comes to do hulldown

worldly anvil
#

any tank can do any tactic
some are better than others
exactly

crimson goblet
#

because it doesnt, you can do it in any tank, the effectiveness just differs from tank to tank

worldly anvil
#

also it was sarcastic/a joke
usually light tanks aren't effective hull down
imo the cr might as well be classed as a med

queen lichen
#

class stereotypes
light tank = fast, not much armour, okay gun
med = decent of everything
heavy = slow, armoured, good gun
td = amazing gun, armour is balanced with the speed, no turret
Emphasis on stereotypes, there are tanks that are classed as one thing and perform better in another role. Take the Tiger 1 for example. It can’t work a frontline like the it’s counterpart, so running it like a medium is smarter

worldly anvil
#

there are always exceptions, stereotypes aren't exactly what each tank will be
some tanks that got worse because of powercreep, especially powercreeped heavies, like going med route because their armour is more effective there, yet they still have enough speed, like is7, is6, and is8

warm charm
#

Sheri isn’t as impactful as it used to be, but having an atgm will always make it broken, unless everything is complete garbage. Vcr is op, turret is tiny and u have small areas to pen, and it’s fast so u only have a 5% chance of penning it when it’s hull down, not to mention the broken view range

queen lichen
#

Sheridan and T92 will always have the ATGM’s, but I still don’t believe that makes them broken. The missiles have poor handling, less pen compared to mediums HEAT rounds, and it has balanced mobility, compared to similar tanks.

worldly anvil
#

Poor handling? You mean pinpoint accuracy? Less pen compared to medium HEAT rounds? Compare it to light tank heat rounds instead, which makes it average. Mobility is mobility, although both atgm tanks have relatively troll armour, either in thickness and angles or just straight up spaced armour.
The tanks are very strong, which is why you may see a lot in ratings battles, even after missile nerf.

warm charm
#

The fact that they have 100% accuracy and is player controlled will always make it broken unless it gets nerfed so hard that it can barely turn or is slow af

median wagon
#

If the rockets are slow then that’s a buff

lime sparrow
#

I'm pretty happy with the missile tanks rn tbh

native marten
#

Changing the missile speed is a double-edged sword, it gives the person using the missiles more time to adjust the missile’s course but also gives the person trying to block the shot more time to react

But that aside I’m still not a fan of missiles

balmy lily
#

just remove this trash mechanic already

it doesnt belong to this game

Out of season april fools joke. The next lights will have an air strike as premium or what?

WG’s not gonna remove the missile mechanic. Besides, it’s a lot easier to avoid the missiles now since they cant even turn as fast anymore

To make progress in rating every season one needs to buy a tank on offer. Then everything works fine until the next season. I won a lot in T34 the season I bought it, then it has become useless as any tech tree tank.

agile sphinx

Yes I do. Everyone needs advice to get better, whether you can handle that or not is down to the individual. The lights are vaguely annoying but not "disgusting" by a long margin. They just happen to be the best tanks to gain points with all the spotting damage they can get as well as their decent guns to get damage in themselves.

@cobalt gate true

native marten

the new lights are decent, cr is overcooked but whatever it's not like game-breaking

cobalt gate

yeah just because 70% wr players used their free exp and were godlike in those tanks doesn´t mean that they are op

native marten

damn maybe I missed something but I don't remember ATGMs ever being on the british light tanks

I also don't remember getting hit for 560 alpha from the sky by any of the tanks from the vickers line

queen lichen
#

You should

blissful portal
#

@native marten high roll of the new light tanks can do almost 500 dmg... and with HE i dont even want to know

native marten
#

not even close
350 alpha (standard), at a max roll, goes up to 438 (which is less than the alpha on the HE)
the HE alpha is 440
multiply by 1.25 for max roll
550 is its highest roll possible (besides engine fires and ammo racks) @blissful portal

blissful portal
#

i said almost..

native marten
#

438 isn't very close to 500

blissful portal
#

in higher tiers 60 dmg is nothing so is pretty close

cobalt gate
#

bruh if someone has 490 HP and you only have 438 to shoot him what would happen?

native marten
#

it's really not
unless you're willing to agree that the 268 has basically 860 alpha (as max roll is 800 and 60 is apparently not that much damage), Sheridan has 760 alpha (as 700 is the max roll and 60 damage is nothing), and most mediums nearly have 500 alpha

cobalt gate
#

more alpha is always good especially in those situations in which one shot decides the match

native marten
#

you're going on the assumption that every single shot is going to be 438 alpha from a 350 alpha gun, and 60 extra alpha is nothing

blissful portal
#

@cobalt gate just a ram or HE and its gone

native marten
#

there's a pretty big reason why 350 alpha and 400 alpha are pretty significant, and there's also a reason why 420 alpha on the WZ-121, despite only being 70 alpha away from 350 alpha mediums, IS a pretty big difference

cobalt gate
#

@blissful portal well you only have 10 hp because he just shot at you and is reloading so you peek out to shoot

#

those scenarios are not rare

blissful portal
#

@native marten there is the first error, why would with that DPM do more dmg or the same dmg than a medium tank, and you cant compare them to B Chat or Sheri cause one has an autoloader and the other one has a derp with both having more than 10 second reload

#

I can basically say Vickers Cruiser its better than the FV202

cloud flume
#

I can also say, They both are basically equal, one’s Strength is the other’s weakness, so they cancel out, it’s more based on how skilled the player is or how the tank is played, aggressively or defensively, i think they are support tanks and will need teammates most of the time, except in 1v1’s, my opinion

devout kiln
#

Tier 8 ratings ez if you have one of the broken prems

heavy sierra
#

ratings is all about spamming game after game after game, there is no skill needed. i would like to see some requirements to join rating battles, players need minimum 5k battles ( i saw people playing in prem tanks with only 500 battles..) and maybe a wr of 50% minimun to participate (or at least dealing 1k average damage or sth like that) and it should not be possible to do 1000+ games in one ratingseason (1 month).

i personally do round about 200 battles each season, cause i only want this camo on some tanks, i did it 2 times to diamond league, but platin is always easy to get.

wg should change sth, its no skill based mode. to get faster into games, i have sometime players with less than 2000 games in team, they even just know the basics, which is fine. but in ratings i expected some expierenced players..

i love playing ratings in every tier from VII to X, but i wish it could be possible to get a skill based matchmaking at least in ratings..... its random as it is in normals.
Happy tanking!!

neat slate
#

I do not think requirements of 5000 battles and an above average winrate of 50% is the way to go. NA and Asia already have issues with queue times with no requirements. Having that high requirements would kill it.

Having lower requirements could work, but there would be no need for them if the rating system itself was looked at.
For starters, I think the system should move away from players top priority being to farm as much damage as possible in their games, and actually make it more team based performance

fallen mortar
#

An idea that possibly could kill or improve ratings is that to enter ratings you need an ace on a T10 or the certain T you want to play but it has to be tech tree

blissful portal
#

Or maybe try one Rating Season excluding all premium and collector vehicles, like they are testing for first time in Ranked Battles at WoT PC

next gull
#

The vast majority of the players has less than 5k battles. WG wants them to buy a high tier tank as fast as possible.
5k battles mini and techtree only can not be the commercial strategy of WG for rating battles.

opaque edge
#

u think rating is commercial thing in first place? I'd imagine it should be more a place for more seasonate players

warm charm
#

If they just exclude prems/collectors it would make ratings a lot better, would mean a lot less op tanks and pretty much removes all the 500 battle bots

worldly anvil
#

If they remove prems/collectors from ratings, a lot less people would be playing for credits, so a lot less people will be playing ratings. A reason to play ratings is for credits, i dont think its a wise idea to take that away.

It feels pointless to play rating if u know that u wont get to diamond. Can u divide the leagues into divisons please?

pine falcon

how about no

#

what good will divisions do?

balmy lily

its like asking: how are centumeters and millimeters useful if can measure everything in meters. it shows the skill level more accurately. there is quite the skill gap between 4100 and 4999

mossy badger
#

no as there's no reward incentive for anything except diamond
if you want to take away prems and have a battle requirement u need more rewards in ratings for end of season like more credits, gold, and free exp
I agree that prems need to be taken out but then queues will be awful, so you need something to pull players in

I am a 59% er (good but not great) and I reached diamond yesterday with about 180 battles. I am neither a pro nor a noob but I can still say reaching diamond is fairly easy

pine falcon

the regulars: stevo complains that he can't get 4K. Cracker complains that he can't get 5K and a couple of more. (and of course every single person who cannot get to a certain league complains about mm)

robust yoke
#

@pine falcon Well, you have to admit that sometimes MM is strange. I fought two days ago in a battle where we were 4 heavies and 3 TDs and enemy team was 3 heavies, 2 TDs and 2 meds ?! Their meds crashed us. Still, I like RBs. For me it’s a way to learn more, especially in matches with high RP average where teams are made of good players. I try to make every battle count though failing some times (it’s just inevitable) but not angry at MM anymore.

median wagon
#

There’s like no limit on heavies in ratings

pine falcon
#

true. Sometimes MM is weird and unfair. But remember. MM can be unfair to you (for example giving and extra medium and a light on falls creek) but it can be unfair to the enemy (by giving your team an extra light and a med on falls creek). However most of the time we only notice the bad matchmaking towards us. Just like we only notice bad rng. If good things happen to us we accept them as if they are given. if bad things happen, we complain.

The worst case I have experienced is when the game gave the enemy team two maus on supremacy dynasty pearl. We got one maus sure, but our other heavy was a mk6. Hardly surprising that they easily took over the two caps in the town

robust yoke
#

@pine falcon Totally agree with you. That’s why I said I’m not angry at the MM anymore. Bot players are everywhere. Even I, myself act as a bot sometimes 😂

median wagon
#

Why do people camp with smasher, when I rushed all he did was hide behind a corner and in a bush

crimson goblet
#

coz if they also have to move they cant focus on were the enemies are, have some thought for these poor players,they cant handle driving and looking/shooting at the same time

median wagon
#

It just frustrates me when people use desperate and scummy tactics

median wagon
devout kiln
#

when driving a 252u youre not allowed to complain about the other broken tanks you meet

median wagon
#

You think 252u is OP?

hazy bronze
#

It not maybe complete op as smasher but stronger than 70% of tank it faces. Only tank I find more stronger than object 252 is action x.

worldly anvil
#

Action x has less reliable armour

robust yoke
#

@median wagon Camping Smasher makes more sense than camping T49

median wagon
#

And I only play 252u because heavies are being spammed so I might as well be one

hazy bronze
#

@worldly anvil true that but action x allows for more flexibility than object 252. Plus if used gun depression on action x good luck push on it without have to lose a lot of tank hp.

worldly anvil
#

@hazy bronze 252u would just block all the dmg

#

And then slap them for 420

hazy bronze
#

@worldly anvil wait action x would get up by dpm and hatches on top.

worldly anvil
#

What, in 1v1s?

hazy bronze
#

I think action x would have higher chance to win vs object 252 out of most Scenarios during battle.

worldly anvil
#

I dont think so. 252u has much, much better armour and alpha, its literally an is7 at t8, except with the same/thicker armour 2 tiers lower

median wagon
#

Um, 252u has such a poor DPM and AX has a great one

worldly anvil
#

252u’s survivability is unparalleled at t8, and because of that it can do much more than just hull down. It can facehug, sidescrape, peekaboom, push a flank more effectively, hold a flank more effectively, while AX can only hull down and farm.

hazy bronze
#

Armor and alpha is nice but think stop the object 252 be better from action x would be speed plus armour can only take so much. As where action x has speed and less reliable armor but if used turrent then should have no problem

worldly anvil
#

AX’s turret is actually weaker than 252u’s, because of the hatch, and the hatch on AX is easily penned by most premium rounds. Also, AX has to peek a LOT more than 252u to be effective, therefore longer exposed, more potential damage taken.
Not sure but i think 252u’s top speed is relatively high

median wagon
#

In a face to face fight AX would win with its great DPM

worldly anvil
#

252u’s top speed is 35, reverse is 14, and AX’s is 38/12
Ah yes age old 1v1s totally relevant

mossy badger
#

In the infamous tier 8 tourney it’s the 252u spam that wins not the AX spam right

hazy bronze
#

For most Battles most time you will 1v1 other player or at least 3

worldly anvil
#

Lmao what
252u is more broken

median wagon
#

AX is more broken

mossy badger
#

In pubs, yes
But in high rating games it’s not

worldly anvil
#

Yes, thats why 252u is a better choice for ratings

median wagon
#

I don’t even consider 252u broken, poor gun, giant lower plate and slower than the other clones

worldly anvil
#

Bruh its pike nose is so strong it can sidescrape
What

median wagon
#

When did I say it didn’t

mossy badger
#

BUT
High rating games actually have rotations and rushing singled out players, and then the other team does the same
When getting rushed 252u lasts way longer than an action X

median wagon
#

252u is so good at face hugging until you meet a tall tank

mossy badger
#

What’s a tall tank that’s good in tier 8

median wagon
#

Lowe, tiger 2, EXP, action x

mossy badger
#

Exp ehhhhhh

hazy bronze
#

True that object 252 will last longer than action x when rushing but how long do think your team will last before action x kill rest of your team.

mossy badger
#

When it comes down to dpm brawling other tanks can work better than AX

#

AX is a cronked jack of all trades which can definitely pub stomp but when it comes down to it AX is still the master of none and there r better specialized tanks for it for a skilled player

hazy bronze
#

True that but I would not say it not jack of all trades because every single job does that heavy need to do and sometimes even better than most only tank would better than it would be object 252u and vk 100 other that action x would own of rest of tier 8 heavys and if add the regrenade.

worldly anvil
#

Action X cant exactly hold very long
Yes it can bleed them, but that wont matter when you get rushed by 2-4 tanks with your team to either side
A 252u would survive longer, allowing the team to farm
252u is better at helping the team, AX is better for one individual’s stats

#

And wins > personal damage in ratings

bleak crest
#

Is the new crate tank good for rating? I mean to play it cause buying will clearly have some other perks not mentioned...

worldly anvil
#

No, sconq is balanced, therefore bad for rating
Renegade probably will be good for ratings

hazy bronze
#

If your team is rush by 2-4 then match is already over then it matter of farming damage.

worldly anvil
#

No, you should have 1-2 teammates behind you, minimum
Or at least nearby

median wagon
#

You think people care about teamwork in ratings?

#

People are way more selfish in ratings

hazy bronze
#

Not sure if read this right but you say object 252 is better for team then actions x for better individual stats and wins? Or meant say for object

worldly anvil
#

@median wagon They want to win, dont they?
@hazy bronze 252u is better for the team, and action x for an individual.

median wagon
#

Um there is hardly any teamwork in ratings, there’s lots of people who do scummy tactics like camping

worldly anvil
#

@median wagon there doesnt have to be teamwork for there to be wins

hazy bronze
#

I will say that object 252 is better for team but all depend on how good your team truly is.

median wagon
#

All the smashers I’ve seen this season camped

worldly anvil
#

@hazy bronze Annnddd thats one reason why the 252u > action x in ratings.

median wagon
#

People are really desperate to win in ratings, so they’re selfish and do scummy tactics like camping

hazy bronze
#

In rating damage is key don’t lose a lot of points how moveup

worldly anvil
#

90% Sure most people would rather win and gain points than lose and lose less points

median wagon
#

Ratings is only sweaty because of the IS-6 fearless reward

worldly anvil
#

No, sweating is for people who aren't good enough to not sweat

median wagon
#

That’s what I mean, tryhard rerolls

worldly anvil
#

Ok, then what

median wagon
#

Idk why I’ve seen so much more rerolls these days

worldly anvil
#

In ratings, 252u > action x.
In pubs, theyre somewhat equal.
and yes this is #rating-battles

hazy bronze
#

Object 252 is limitation is team as where action x is not base team effort so much less points if were play action x because you can end up do more than object 252.

median wagon
#

A lot of rerolls come crying to me in DM after a rating match, “those stats hahaha” “56% trash”

worldly anvil
#

252u can do completely fine by itself, its not team dependent.
@median wagon thats your problem lmao
rip

median wagon
#

Some noob even tried to stat shame me, idk why

#

They’re all nice until you miss 1 shot 😂

hazy bronze
#

It depend how good team last or even helps. Most of time average 3 or 2k min depend how fast your team wins or team loses. But I think will climb much faster in action x then were play object 252

median wagon
#

And firing more shots gives extra points in rating

worldly anvil
#

2-3k is a pretty big range
252u can do just that same amount, especially because it can survive so long with higher alpha
Pretty sure firing more shots does not give more rating, its just more potential for assistance or module damage

median wagon
#

Droodles even made a video for it

worldly anvil
#

Droodles thinks the is7 and the 5a are good, i wouldnt trust what he says

median wagon
#

And there was a proof, when he played mk1 defender, he lost much less points

worldly anvil
#

Because of more module damage, more tracking assistance? That would be understandable.
It would be a bit stupid of WG to make it so that more shots = more points.

median wagon
#

5a isn’t too bad

worldly anvil
#

It is bad compared to most other t10 heavies.

median wagon
#

WG actually nerfed it in testing

worldly anvil
#

ok

median wagon
#

Ok

hazy bronze
#

Only think make 5a is negative would pen on premium ammo if they buff man it would powerful tank.

worldly anvil
#

Not really

median wagon
#

I think that tank is really nice hulldown, it has 7 degrees of depression and possibly the strongest turret in the game

worldly anvil
#

when people cant aim at your hull, yes

median wagon
#

It’s not that awful

worldly anvil
#

I know, ive played it plenty

hazy bronze
#

If people at aiming at you that mean your also aiming at them.

worldly anvil
#

Bruh thats amazing logic 200 iq
Something called crossfire, flanking, and peekaboom maybe?

hazy bronze
#

All in one.

worldly anvil
#

yes very 200%

hazy bronze
#

Still it amazing tank maybe next time.

worldly anvil
#

no

late mural
#

Droodles is just wrong.

I tried myself just about all the fast-firing and auto-loading tanks, and NONE of them performed any better than normal tanks. No more points gained, or less points lost.

lean zenith
#

There's 1 thing you missed, you aren't Droodles

late mural
#

He doesn't even have a rating for July. Zero battles.

Probably basing his opinion on just a few battles where he did well with autoloaders.

median wagon
#

It was a common trend in his matches with mk1 defender

late mural
#

So that tank is OP? I don't have it.

next gull
#

I did not notice anything particular either. However I was using the amx French heavies which have long reload.

lean zenith
#

I think it has to do with shots hit since autoloaders like the 13 57 and mk1 have meh alpha, but a good clip damage. This leads to more shots hit for the same amount of damage, leading to possibly more xp and rating gained

late mural
#

Well it doesn't make sense the # of shots hit should mean anything for XP or rating points. Never heard that claimed anywhere else either.

worldly anvil
#

Pretty sure its just more module damage/tracking assistance/time exposed for spotting your own targets.

mossy badger
#

^^^^

lime sparrow
#

Having extra shots in the clip probably helps with that.

#

Also when did Droodles say the 5a and IS7 were good for ratings lmao

median wagon
#

Never

worldly anvil
#

He said they were good tanks, i never said he said they were good for ratings

sand coral
#

honestly wouldnt surprise me if he did say that. i dont know what goes through his head when he starts running his mouth

lean zenith
#

imo, only redeeming quality about the 5a is the good front, other than that, nothing about it makes it stand out

crimson goblet
#

5A is like the sconq,not necessarily bad,but just balanced,which many seem to have an issue with

worldly anvil
#

They are average/balanced, but not good

sonic sedge
#

You can choose the best tank you can for ratings but if the players you’re dumped with are not so good or don’t choose good tanks (like the T44, under 1000 battles player 🙄) & the tier 9 td you also have on your ‘team’ gets destroyed within the first minute then it’s irrelevant which tank you use, because no matter how well you do 99% of the time your (not so personal) rating is going down!

agile sphinx
#

Yeah you might get stuck with some nab with 70k games who can't accept that actually it's his fault is rating goes down and then it becomes lots lots more difficult to win

crimson goblet

median wagon
#

Oof

lime sparrow
#

At that range, the most points that people lose is around 5-6. So something tells me that you weren’t really playing that well either

terse current
#

Everyone hates me using this tank for some reason and I get really upset I’m just a tank trying my best!

#

I think this tank is great but everyone hates that I play as it and I get comments saying here comes the 112...

#

Although trying to get the E-75 just so I can have another tank to lay with is a pain.

lime sparrow
#

That’s not a bad tank though. You sure you’re getting flamed just because of your tank choice?

median wagon
#

I doubt it’s the tank that causes it

terse current
#

Everyone hates that tank for some reason. So as the Action X.

median wagon
#

You probably play poorly

terse current
#

I’m a person that recommends were our team goes. Then since I’m usally at the top of the roster, they all follow me.

#

And no, I actually play strategically while all my teammates don’t know what their doing.Then we get killed easily. The 112 is such a top tier tank everyone thinks they should follow it. It’s just such a pain how the whole team just doesn’t listen and go follow me.

#

My point is, play strategically. Don’t just follow people.

median wagon
#

You’re in silver league

pine falcon
#

@terse current the tank you are driving doesn't mean you get to make calls

next gull
#

@terse current you know alphabetic order ?

crimson goblet
#

it seems funny how he apparently he never realised exactly that xD

native marten
#

My point is, play strategically. Don’t just follow people.
@terse current playing strategically can include following your team if you see it as a good option, playing strategically isn't just 1v7 epic 10k damage kolobanov carry games

terse current
#

Thanks for the info... I’ll get back to that.

lean zenith
#

Your team may be nubs, but every shot they take is beneficial to the team. Every hitpoint of damage they lose is a hitpoint you could have lost. Every bit of damage they do is a chunk off the enemy hp pool. Just because they can't carry a team doesn't mean they aren't required for a win.

terse current
#

Actually I don’t make the calls either. I just go my own way and everyone follows. But thanks for the info everyone.

native marten
#

just make sure that when you head your own way, your team does follow (unless it's some calculated risk, e.g. heading on your own to a flank because you're confident that you can beat the enemy in a 1v1 situation) and that you have a backup plan in case it does go wrong

ornate spoke
#

@terse current the best advice I can give is to learn the good players and the good clans. If you see those players make a call you should follow it.

On the other hand if you see a clanless player or the dreaded player####### you should probably do the opposite of whatever call them make.

agile sphinx
#

^ or look for avatars, if you see one that is hard to get or the lowest avatar (used to try and avoid focus by some) and it should tell you whether it's worth listening or not

median wagon
#

When people focus me in ratings they usually mess their team up because they’re overexposing themselves just to shoot me

pine falcon
#

@ornate spoke hey.... I am currently clanless. Does that mean people should do the opposite of the suggestions I give

agile sphinx
#

As a general rule yes they should, it's rare to see a good clanless player like yourself and so unless you recognise a username it's a good idea to stick to that rule imo @pine falcon

pine falcon
#

im sad now

ornate spoke
#

@pine falcon there are always exceptions. Generally speaking what I said stands though.

#

Nothing personal

#

I've also seen a few player#######'s who know what they are doing but the are few and far between.

agile sphinx
#

The amount you will gain by correctly hoping a player is an exception is a lot less than the amount you will loose by incorrectly assuming that, so it doesn't make sense to do that. The only way to go against that is to have an avatar that requires skill

median wagon
#

Bruh

terse current
#

Understood.

Save some time to read a book. EU server down 🙂

@agile sphinx the are no avatars that requite skill except the pro and the challengers

Got question that people do rating on na? Where point that start earn less 20 per wins

sick leaf
#

If a player has a bunch of kalobanovs and raisins he is probably a good player, unless he is a sealclubber

median wagon
#

Raiseniai are just luck

pine falcon
#

Raseinai medals are nothing but luck...

#

@median wagon damn you stole it my message xD

median wagon
#

I have only 9 kolobanovs in my whole 20k matches

#

So some kolobanovs are also luck, like if your team has the upper hand cap

sick leaf
#

Not many 40%ers have 20 raisins is what I meant, so they more likely are good, or they play a lot of low tiers.

pine falcon
#

not many 60%ers have 20 raseiniais too. Also stop calling the medal a raisin...

median wagon
#

It shouldn’t be the most honoured medal either

sick leaf
#

It’s hard to spell raseiniais but sorry. I was just saying that if a person has one of those avatars, there is a higher chance he is a good player and if you have no clue, it’s better to listen to them. I am not saying that people with those avatars are for sure good players or that getting rases or kalobanovs makes you good, or that they mean you are skilled or anything like that.

neat slate
#

raseinias involve some skill, but its mostly depends on luck that you land in those situations where you can achieve that.
The first time I got that medal was in a tog lol

@worldly anvil I know, but one thing is win with help or lose with a decent match and other thing is to be last tank standing and having players that died in the first minute or that couldnt even reach 1k dmg with a tier 8 tank

I mean
Even though its a team game
In pubs and stuff
U gotta work with your team, and use them, at the same time
Their HP is important to you, so if theyre getting rushed, try to output as much damage as possible to the rushing enemies
So your team has a better chance of winning
Their damage doesnt matter as much as yours

I was the only player with above average stats on my team, and the enemy team there was only 1 as well.
This is basically a 1v1 mode but each team has bots on them

Pls fix this mode, nobody should get bronze league teammates when their gold. My mate thats at diamond also gets bronze sometimes.

What if ratings score was based on base xp and not on winning the game?
@gusty gust I rate that idea solid banana out of 10

gusty gust
#

@scarlet fox Well bananas kind of describe what ratings are like right now. But what do you think?

scarlet fox
#

It's what I've said all along about ratings. The system rewards battle spam and damage at the moment. I think a month of ratings is too long and I would like to see a longer weekend of ratings (say Friday to Monday) in one tier only, tech tree only.
And then indeed base the rating points on XP with maybe a set reward for each spot in a team.

gusty gust
#

That's a solid idea, removing premium tanks will force people to actually git gud rather than spam Vk90 or Chieftains all day

neat slate
#

Ratings is a 1v13. You are against enemies and also competing with your team to get as much damage as possible

#

I do not think that should be the case that you should be looking to farm as much damage as possible

jagged dirge
#

to avoid rating battle spam being the main factor, another idea is where you introduce a hard cap on the ratings, say 5500 or something (it geniunely doesn't matter). and you let everyone keep the rating from the previous season. That way the highest players consistently stay at the top, average players will average out into the respective ranks. You introduce a hard win / loss system where everyone loses the same amount regardless (again the number actually doesn't matter, besides for mmr cases) and newer accounts are placed based on current placement system.

And for actual prizes, just introduce a minimum battle count to qualify.

scarlet fox
#

@jagged dirge problem with a hard cap would be that people will stop playing once they reach that level

#

Even more so if you keep the ratings after a season

jagged dirge
#

@scarlet fox i know I didn't explain this, but I'm referring to a hard elo in my system, so at the very highest, (going to use 5000 points as an example) you'll only be able to receive 1-6 points on average on a high level game (say 4800 points on average) so it's nearly impossible to reach the actual peak. Plus it only accelerates the reason why some people play, better matchmaking over all. And the rewards will be better distributed to not the most devout to the battle button.

scarlet fox
#

That sounds logical indeed. I would like to see that tried by WG 👍

#

Also, a smaller time frame would probably make the pool of players a bit bigger, so MM actually has players to choose and spread.
I've seen differences of about 2500 rating points in match which is just too much

gusty gust
#

We can only hope WG actually takes advice from the community and so far I don't know if they are keen on that

jagged dirge
#

I haven't seen those kind of games, but unbalanced matchmaker is pretty unfortunate.

white spruce
#

lol just put +/-500 matchmaking in place

copper mauve
#

teams in rating are either

A: clueless guy who decided to check rating out after maxing his first tier 7

Or B: extreme spartan-level tryhard (usually on the enemy team)

neat slate
#

A move away from farming as much damage would be appreciated. A hard win/loss system would put more strategy into games. Right now, it’s just a case of surviving as long as you can, and doing as much damage as possible, leading to people playing more passively and not wanting to make a play towards a win.

gusty gust
#

One problem WG has with matchmaking system as it is is that they prioritize speed over everything else and sacrifice many things for that

jagged dirge
#

I don't think it does do that tbh, it doesn't blantantly throw the first 14people who queue in.

It at least tries to create "fair" games based on preexisying conditions

native marten
#

from what I’ve seen it tries to make teams based on the average rating but unfortunately since there aren’t that many ratings players, you can’t say, match 7 5k+ players with 7 5k+ players, instead the matchmaking is forced to just give you overall lower ratings players if your rating is high in order to bring down your team’s average rating to about that of the enemy team’s average rating

There isn’t enough incentive to play ratings unless if you have the time to end up at the top of the leaderboard, so people start tuning out of ratings.
As said above, the range of players rating in a game becomes larger as the matchmaker tries to make fair games with a smaller pool of players.

A temporary avatar and camo for anyone outside of the top of the leaderboards is just not enough for the average player to come back and do ratings again.

median wagon
#

Isn’t ratings really active now because of the fearless reward

neat slate
#

I haven’t seen much of a difference.

pine falcon
#

@median wagon this season there is barely any good players playing

restive dawn
#

Dont they want a poopootier premium?

median wagon
#

So many t92 spammers

pine falcon
#

@restive dawn don't be mean to me but I want the tonk too :>

hazy bronze
#

Guess for you got this month and next one then you got tank

deft perch
#

i can almost do rating battles

pine falcon
#

im gonna tryhard 2 season and then the next will be semi-tryharding,

hazy bronze
#

Yeah same here for most part need try 2 months then from there is really since all need top 30 or less for me at least on na sever.

pine falcon
#

also I want the fearless for the main reason being that I don't even have an IS6....

median wagon
#

I want the fearless because it’s my IGN

hazy bronze
#

Yeah I hope you enjoy the is 6 fearless

median wagon
#

I’ll just assemble the certificate and then it’s gonna be a novelty

pine falcon
#

once the good players get the fearless rating is going to die down again and will force WG to "popularize it" by making stuff up like RBM/RBC etc.

median wagon
#

Or they could add another tank you get, I don’t want it to be only the fearless

pine falcon
#

I mean, that can be interesting but there will definitely be people who would complain that they didn't get the tank.

queen lichen
#

Wg add the MS-1 as the rating reward

hazy bronze
#

Yeah it guaranteed that sooner or later going add tank only get ratings

mossy badger
#

needs to be more rewards for gold and platinum players
thats definitely not hard at all to implement you could literally add like 5 lines of code and boom theres so much more incentive to play at least

lean zenith
#

or make it so diamond players get both the plat and diamond camos

hazy bronze
#

@lean zenith if only that were the case lol

mossy badger
#

ok but one camo is not an incentive to play 50 battles
im talkin real rewards like at least credits and free exp

tall berry
#

ye free xp would be nice

mossy badger
#

and once the skill tree is actually fixed and battle spammers cant get close to top 100 or something, then make gold rewards more generous to push people from gold to plat and plat to diamond

hazy bronze
#

@mossy badger What mean by skill tree?

mossy badger
#

a little unclear but i mean when the rank is actually ranked in skill instead of battle spamming

hazy bronze
#

Well do you mean pc version of ranked or more. Well skill can be hard to judge because not all tank are equal even if it only Tech tree tanks.

mossy badger
#

scroll up to what jibril and what martin g said

hazy bronze
#

So what get at all players start same position only move if win or lose. The players win get higher points so not matter how games you play. Only winning matter is that right.

mossy badger
#

like season 1 yes

hazy bronze
#

It good idea but not sure if how play out in real battle because it sounds more like pc in wot ranked.

mossy badger
#

in season 1 all the top players were actually good players
to the point where when you see a someone whos diamond ranked you'd actually be like "wow" diamond instead of "oh a diamond"

hazy bronze
#

What made season 1 different from rest of season till now cause never care about rating so can explain to me.

mossy badger
#

there was no timegate which was great
and again ratings was playing to win rather than playing for as much damage as possible so you don't lose as many points
--> better team coordination

hazy bronze
#

Was it same formula as it now or was different first season because time gate does mean player limited on point they could earn. Guess back then was not really power crept is now during rating.

white spruce
#

I have a reward system to suggest -
Bronze league - avatar
Silver league - avatar + 5k fxp
Gold league - avatar, 500 gold + 10k fxp
Plat league - avatar, camo, 750 gold, 10k fxp
Diamond league - avatar, camo, 1k gold, 20k fxp, parts for a vehicle

#

And maybe wg u could make parts and charms universal so if you don’t get the action x from crates but u get 5 charms you can get the other charms from ratings

sick leaf
#

No way, literally no way wg would give that much gold for free. But if they did I guarantee you the number of people playing ratings would skyrocket.

white spruce
#

Well they literally give you thousands of gold a month or whatever icr for just watching raid shadow legends ads so maybe they’d be willing to give you less gold for actually playing the game

sick leaf
#

It would be the easiest gold ever. Making gold is nothing and platinum is like 2 days of playing op tanks depending on how you calibrate

white spruce
#

Not if they toughen ratings and make it skill based as suggested above

sick leaf
#

I think it’s a great suggestion, just doubt wargaming would do it, though I hope they do it or something similar

white spruce
#

They won’t everyone knows, it was just a suggestion

pine falcon
#

@mossy badger im talkin real rewards like at least credits and free exp You already earn enough credits in rating. if you do a decent job in platinum you get 80K+. if you are playing like a Lowe or a rev you get 100k+. In diamond credits are even more abundant. Free xp on the other had is a good idea

slim acorn
#

omg! i had that one time too

mossy badger
#

@pine falcon i mean then again a very popular and valid suggestion is to prevent premium tanks from getting in rating; so the rewards are on the brunt end after ratings is over rather than grinding in it

@agile sphinx you know how yesterday we were talking about avatars signifying skill? There are more than 2. In twister season the teams that reached top 8 (or top 4) I don't remember exactly got a permanent avatar with their clan logo on it.

median wagon
#

That’s only gonna make themselves more focused

worldly anvil

There are 4/5 avatars than can signify some amount of skill

agile sphinx

@pine falcon Huh I didn't really pay any attention to that lol, I think I've seen maybe one or two people clanless and with the challenges avatar but I can't remember ever seeing one of those avatars...

crimson goblet

they only got pro avatars, what ur thinking of only some clans have like eg,no one this year received any tho @pine falcon

autumn wave
#

Where’s Stevo?

mossy badger
#

grinding ratings

ornate spoke
#

Hi. How do I get to diamond? By grinding or just regularly playin 2~4games? I started gold 3.2k now I'm at plat 4.3k but I don't know if I can make it. I also don't want the fearless but I really wanna grind for those exp and credits after I got diamond so what tank should I play. Also, which tier is newbie friendly? I watch lots of vids and guides on yt and looking forward to your advice too

hexed solstice
#

@ornate spoke playing casually, you’ll probably hit a wall between 4600-4900. I would reccomend getting to abt 4600, stopping for a few hours, then continuing so you don’t lose your mind.

ornate spoke
#

How about the tanks? I'm clicking t44/t54/m4 and the pantera. Sometimes is6. I have met tier 10s with my t54 but I stopped playing tier9 after gettimg ammo rack..

#

The british td that 1tapped me*

hexed solstice

You’ll probably want to stick with the pantera. Staying at one tier is generally better, especially with tanks that you are comfortable with, unless your just grinding camos.

ornate spoke
#

Camo won't matter for me. I'll stick with the pant. Thanks :D

#

Sorry if i caused inconvenience. Does average damage from rating battles affect overrall average damage?

Np. The t44 is worse, in most situations, at least.

No inconvenience at all, lol.

MM is random, sometimes you get potatoes, other times you get unicums. It’s like rolling a dice.

Give Stevo mod so he can complain about MM and encourage others to do the same 🐀

MM is not random, it’s governed by the patent filed by WG in the US. You should check that out before posting nonsense. Unfortunately the rating MM didn’t escape the patent either so that’s why it’s similar.

just play a tank you are good with, anything else is a bad suggestions

AX ,progetto 46 and T92E1 then. I have 57%+ in these and love them

Thanks @crimson goblet

crimson goblet

it just makes the most sense to me. why recommend tanks when they might not even fit your playstyle. that seems a bit reckless in my eyes @junior flax

junior flax
#

Ah I see. You have a point

worldly anvil
#

Well, i mean, there is no one playstyle, each tank has their own playstyle, its just preference over which playstyle you do best in or your favourite

crimson goblet

thats basically what i meant, whatever just fits himself and how he plays tanks

worldly anvil

then say that lel

MM is random? in 50 years they havent been able to program any music player to play more than 5 songs out of 2000 on random so how have they masterd this one?

crimson goblet
#

i dont get why people actually think mm is rigged, like wtf 😂 why would wg bother with your crappy results? they wouldnt benefit in the slightest from that, just play better instead of complaining towards others and pushing the fault away from yourself

agile sphinx
#

MM is not random, otherwise we would have tier 1s against tier 10s. MM only looks at certain criteria, such as tank type and tier not any player statistics. The players you get is the random part, because the matchmaker doesn't look at that at all (unless you are playing tier 5 and below on EU or RU in which case it tries to keep people with more than 5k battles separate). The program simply doesn't look at that statistics, so it is completely random.

Thinking about it from a business point of view, it would make more sense for worse players to be given "better" MM so they win more, enjoy the game more and are more willing to spend money. This is ofc in the stupid scenario where WG cared enough to rig MM for people.

median wagon
#

The first 5k battles are better, that’s why rerolls have weird stats

I've said it many times if u want good mm start playing on tinder or something not here ffs

pine falcon
#

oh ye. Give me a sec to finish the match

#

Just a short summary of the battle before the conclusion and my point. In this battle we see that the ISU and I are on nearly the same points. As seen in the screenshots ISU did 3K (he did not camp but was second line). I did 1K dmg (was too slow to get any other damage out). However I gained almost equal (and more) points that the isu which is due to the 2.4K assisted damage. And that brings me to the conclusion.
Both and and ISU are almost on the same points. We gain basicsally the same points. His total damage (done by him and assisted was 3211) my damage (done by me and assisted is 3347). What I am hinting is that assisted damage is equal to regular damage meaning that instead of trying to HE pen the tank, you can for example go for the track and get the enemies entire HP pool as assistance damage.

#

Tell me what you think of this "speculation".

crimson goblet
#

well thats basically how gaining xp works, so your right on that one

#

some mod pin this maybe so people stop complaining about points earned ^

mossy badger
#

thats why meds or lights with good dpm are often the best at grinding points bc spotting assist damage is so easy along with your own
and heavies dont benefit from blocking say 10 shots or something

agile sphinx
#

@pine falcon You think you could ask the ISU what xp he got from that game and compare that as well? (because you cant see other peoples base xp in ratings right?)

pine falcon
#

ill see what I can do

next gull
#

@pine falcon sounds like XP based points to me too. Not sure it reduces merely to damage only, but it must be a large part. Probably cap reset, capture points... would increase your rating points.

#

This is probably what some struggle to get when they think that they should get rating points on a lose only because they made more damage than their team.

crimson goblet
#

what gives exp is:
damage, kills,cap points earned/reset, supremacy points(massive for xp),rare medals and spotting dmg aswell as critical hits,so module dmg(? i think, might be wrong on that one)

fallen mortar
#

@crimson goblet i dont feel like cap in encounter gives any exp

crimson goblet
#

it does but only very slightly

warm charm
#

From wut I see rating is determined by xp and what ur current rating is

robust yoke
#

Well, the overall “award” system in WG in terms by xp (I.e. mastery classes, medals)

pine falcon
#

@crimson goblet wait? So like creitical engine damage (ie the icon becomes red) gives you base xp?

warm charm
#

Ig since it counts as module dmg

“I've said it many times if u want good mm start playing on tinder or something not here ffs”

i wouldn't want to remember them its just scarred in my head
ill give it another few weeks and maybe ill forget about blitz

I’m give up on rating because too time consuming for me. I only play few battles a day now

eh if you can just don't play at all
there's nothing really to do anyways

That’s true, I mainly play in tourneys now for fun

And yeah a lot of people I see with the diamond avatar aren’t very good tbh

mossy badger

season 1 was the only time when even platinum players were respected in some sort

ornate spoke
#

Yeah a lot of diamond avatar player I see are low-mid 50 winrate :/

median wagon
#

People are hilariously toxic when they lose in ratings, especially the leaderboard players

ornate spoke

^ Yeah too much toxicity also true,

pine falcon

what if I tell you I only behave when I know people on the enemy or my own team

median wagon
#

Isn’t that basically everyone?

ornate spoke
#

Yeah I think that’s everyone

pine falcon
#

Oh... well ... toxicity is in everyone

median wagon
#

Ratings is apparently competitive as stated by WG, so swearing, begging the team to win and spamming broken tanks is competitive?

mossy badger
#

huh thats any comp playlist in any big game

ornate spoke
#

No I think random battle are more competitive than rating since it count for stat

#

I’m confuse why people toxic in rating battle when it not count for stats

pine falcon
#

in competitive you try to get the biggest advantage you can get even if its gamebreaking (like ra1d and fbi during spring season)

median wagon
#

I hate when people start rating matches when they know they have lots of ping

mossy badger
#

and the stat system is wack for ratings
i dont like it
it makes your stats wack when you try to break it down
or one example is that man with "100% wr in 2k" battles in NA

ornate spoke
#

Yeah the people that win 1 game in random battle then spam ratings 100% winrate 🤣🤣

median wagon
#

It’s much harder to win in ratings than pubs, so I don’t think it should affect stats

mossy badger
#

then make it separate from career battle # as it's misleading af

median wagon
#

Leaderboard players are only rocket spammers

ornate spoke
#

Yeah it misleading and some people play 1 game and have 100 winrate 🤔🤔

@median wagon currently I am a leaderboard player (29th currently) and I am spamming Lowe and WZ120gft

rockets are a bit out of meta now. The current tier 9 spammed tank is K91

Somehow it’s so hard to pen K-91 through the tracks for me

#

Also, seems like hardly anyone is playing ratings this season, you’re at 5.3k and 29th, which is really high

ornate spoke
#

Yeah because rating is too time consuming and not rewarding

pine falcon
#

the climb is super easy currently. Just today ( or should I say yesterday as its 4.12 am) I climbed around 125 points (note my rating is high so points aren't obtained so easy nor are matches found fast)

I’m only at 4.6k, hopefully might reach 4.7k tomorrow

Good luck, hope you reach it^

spam german heavies in tier 8. Should get it easily.

And support 2 team members that stick together while we meet all 7 reds and the other 4 camp where they are and wait for the outcome... Too many times this happens in a row. It’s like it was planned. Over and over again. So I lose 20-30 points in those games while I win 20 in 4K games. Amazingly I win more of those...
There’s something wrong with ratings and it needs fixing, but nobody seems to care.

@bleak crest Why are you still playing the game then?

#

Also you said you do not care about the rating so what is the point of playing

bleak crest

I don’t care about that number associated with ratings as it doesn’t mean anything. It should enable me not to meet certain types of players but it’s not the case therefore it means nothing.

@bleak crest

You are not enjoying it, the game rather frustrates you and you are playing it only because you have invested some money into it, right?

I’m not enjoying it on weekends and nothing is done to fix that. In ratings it’s possible but there seems to be no will to do it.

@bleak crest you bought entertainment. From what you have written here it seems that you have exhausted the entertainment that you got from that purchase. If you aren't enjoying yourself it is time to move on.

And to be clear your return on your "investment" is your entertainment value. If you aren't entertained then you aren't getting a return on that investment. At some point you need to cut your losses.

How very convenient. Instead of looking into a problem and maybe finding a solution to improve the situation, the attitude is take it or leave it. Long term that’s not good business.

You think you are so good yet you struggle to pass the 4k mark, I guess it is very fair. If you were playing as good as you always tell others, you would be the best since day 1

there's also a player that thinks players wr is decided the moment they start playing

How about for once you actually start looking at your own performance, rather than criticizing the rest of your team consistently. You might learn something and climb

As you invested money in this game anyways, then can you to some extent be considered as benefiting from this rigged mm granted by cash?

@bleak crest Can you finnaly realize you are playing a game usually played on mobile, there is no game let alone mobile game where are all players good, I hope you didn't expect twister teams in normal battles...

bleak crest
#

I expect the same teams as during the week and the rating system to work and keep bad performers out of higher rating games

plain hollow
#

Well, i have not met any 2000 points in (platinum) rating, just a fact, random mode is for some reasons RANDOM so there is no system to get bad players out, If is it anying you, you can just press delte the game, and that will end your suffering.
