Matching: Why can't they fix it?

[willderyes]

Why does everyone complain about Match Making and yet Wargaming never does anything to fix. I mean really fix it. They have all these types of rating: Personal Rating, WTR and WN8 numerous other rankings. Yet it only seems they match by tier and it there isn't enough of one tier they throw in cannon fodder tiers.

Why not match according to at lease one of those performance ratings? And if there is a lack of players or tanks of a certain level they can add the same number of bots to both sides. At least both sides would be more equal. Or they could do something to boost their playership.

New players can't or find it hard to get into the game. Even at tier ! you have the baby seal beaters come in with their 4 perk crews and high WTR's just so they can get easy points to advance in battle pass.

Just today I was matched against people with a WTR of 8000, mine is 2600. This is suppose to be a GAME. And all I got was the cold message:

(3/9/2025 7:03:43 PM) BOTS PLAY ON THE SOUTH AMERICAN SERVER GO THERE NOW WHERE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DO DAMAGE

Your comments are welcome. I am not a hater or troll. Just frustrated.

[World of Tanks West]

Please note we have an article about Matchmaking released on Friday, furthermore we have skill based matchmaking in various modes and it is considered by a majority of players to be not a fun gaming experience for its introduction in random battles.

Note that the only valid skill rating that can be given is winrate, and this is considered by most players to be a poor non-existent skill in world of tanks, that damage is more important etc. WTR is not in a state that would make a good rating metric either.

Your frustration sounds like it is based on being unable to deal damage to the enemy, please note that this will only come from learning nuanced game mechanics and how to effectively use your vehicle at different stages of the game, adapting to the circumstance is what adds the challenge and part of the charm of World of Tanks.

Usually it's because your team is playing solo-pairs and is spread out all over the map, while the enemy is going with one fist of 7-10 tanks and just destroying your team 1 by 1. Usually it's like this.
Although there are also reverse situations, when the allied team also plays with one fist. For some reason no one complains about such battles :)

I know why we loose .

But why all game in chain was the same , why loose 13 tank at 0 ,

If a player sends you this message, report him ASAP, and don't worry too much about it. I have 8056WTR, and a much better player (9000+) insulted me once in the chat and after the game because I wasn't playing my Object 705 "well enough."

I agree that new players have it hard, but we all went there. If it helps, the game was MUCH harder before for newer players (no battle pass, no crews with skills, no sixth sense, and more modules to research). It's part of learning the game.

Tiers 1-5 are the worst in the game, in my opinion. Many players are playing thousands of battles in tiers 1-3 to increase their stats, and tiers 4-5 have many rerolls and MANY bad players spamming gold. Tier 6 is where the game truly starts to shine. Don't give up =)

I do not believe that WG can fix the matchmaking. The main issue is the players. If the MM is skill-based, why would I want to play with a tank that I am above average (FV4005: 430 battles, 1594WN8, 51.16%WR) and not with my strongest ones (E 75: 1881 battles, 2456WN8, 56.51%WR or VK 3601 H: 529 battles, 3232WN8, 60.49%WR) knowing all my opponent will be as strong as me?

I don't have to show my stats. I am not the one blaming the MM, thinking all my teammates are bots, and crying because you believe everyone is spamming gold because you don't understand how armor works. You said it yourself: you have a low WN8. You do worse than the average players using the same tanks as you in the same MM. What could be the problem...? Oh, right, your MM is rigged, and it's not your fault.

As for my WN8:
my average is 2010
my recent (last 1000 battles) is 2631
30 days (369 battles) is 3277
1 day (15 battles) is 4424
and each tank has its WN8 based on my performance. So yeah, my WN8 does change all the time =)

[Sesrian]

Shi fu full apcr player , who talk all time with it s, stats .

The prophet have talk again , and again , he talk about his stats.

Happy for you , you have succeeded in your life

[shi_mian_mai_fu]

Ask yourself why bots have better stats than you. Maybe you should stop trolling, blaming the game, and wasting your time here and truly learn the game and become a better player.

[Sesrian]

Stop troll , and go internet for see ppl who say , with statistic it s impossible have this resut at 15 vs 15.

[Sesrian]

After more 10 game , cote wtr 5050 , 18% win

Beautiful poem .. could you not get it to rhyme ..

Hi. There are a lot of reasons for turbo losses. Some of them have avalanche-like properties. This does not mean that all the players in the team play poorly and are not familiar with the mechanics of the game. It's just that most of the time it happens because of committed risky actions that set up allies.
Personally, I still don't understand how you can attack in one tank, or when the team remains outnumbered but also continues to attack. Also, a lot of people don't go to help their teammate, and when they were destroyed, they suddenly went to his position. A lot of illogical actions lead to defeat. So here, the "golden" shells do not always help.
