#Remove Matchmaking Restrictions on Individual Tanks

There are a number of tanks like the Centurion AVRE, Taran, and Nightstalker that have unique MM that attempts to match these tanks against another on the opposite team. It seems this puts a lot of stress on the matchmaker resulting in bot lobbies at odd hours. Not only is this frustrating for all players but it also provides an opportunity for players to abuse the system to rig matches either by targeting bot lobbies for MoEs or by queueing opposing platoons of the vehicles at the same time to get into the same game.

Instead of beating around the bush, just nerf/rework the tanks instead of giving them unique mm that ruins the experience for everyone.

Interestingly enough I don't think the Night Stalker has special mm anymore. Been playing a lot of tier 9 lately and the last 5 times I've seen one there wasn't one on the other team

#

But also facts, no tank should need to have mirrored matchmaking. If it is that toxic or impactful on a lobby it should be reworked

Nice username

Yeah, if a tank needs special matchmaking to be "balanced," it shows that the tank is a problem

mirrored mm does nothing but increase bot lobby frequency

fossil hill
#

Sure, but it also makes for more balanced matches.

#

And I'd rather these problem tanks get nerfed before mirrored MM gets removed.

#

Not before.

balanced in the tank stats, not actual lobbies

#

Balanced as in, a some dinky tank doesn't get directly matched against some OP or broken tank.

#

Just because they are in the same class.

doesnt matter

#

you are still in their lobby and getting rolled by them regardless

#

Anyway.
Nerf first
Remove mirrored MM later.

no

But if they have mirrored MM, then they have a close to a 50% win rate and dont need nerfed!

(Looks at the Molot and Wiesel)

Just not true. Winrate has been the most used metric for tank balance in the past. You think the Manticore was upsetting players? No. The tanks that do upset players like the AVRE and Taran and the ones you mentioned dont get nerfed. They have a large pool of players across all skill levels playing them so their statistics look average.

Manticore isnt a premium

#

Notice how I said premiums?
