Given the current bouts of MM, maybe the matchmaking system can align players on both teams equally by WN8? It seems pretty fast to update after each match and if the MM just equalises the available players in queue to a match based of WN8 that might even things out?

E.g. each team being mirrored to each other in a similar concept as how coop mode bots mirror player tanks in choice

Matched in both teams equally based off their WN8 standing (Depending on the current online queue) for example:
1x super unicum
3x unicum
4x great-good
8x Average or lower

In any case there is more of any specific standings online then maybe even it out so both teams have equal amounts of them etc.

(Not sure if this is currently how things are done in the MM), it might increase wait times in queue but reckon players might prefer a more balanced match than steamrolls on either side.

And if there is a platoon your platoon will count your tanks based off your averaged WN8 (Though this will need to be tested on the limits of this measurement?)

This isn’t pure SBMM of only matching specific WN8 ratings with those of the same category, if not some WN8 brackets may not be able to find matches; rather it’s to evenly spread players of various brackets on both teams.

so the Super unicum have the same Tier and tank class as well?

if the Super Unicums are in different types and or Tier or both then your stuffed before the game even starts, let alone the 3 Unicum players.

As per the example it’s rather to balance players into each team equally by their WN8. If there are more super unicums then the MM would disperse them fairly between both teams as the priority, if tiers would be an issue then that’s where +1/-1 would come in.

But if a Tier 6 SU is on one side and a Tier 8 on the other its game over, yes?

no its not, but I didn't see +/-1 your OP. Have I misread it?

My bad I didn’t indicate it in the main post, +1/-1 has been reflected in other posts by others and seems like a good idea, this post is to add on to the ideas/suggestion for balancing. Hence a culmination of suggestions which hopefully the WG staff see and take into consideration
