game handicap wrecks gameplay
Did you notice "game handicap"? it give an advantage to someone, so another player will be in disadvantage. You can be 200% skilled with superman crew, but game will wreck you, because it wants to help a lame player to be good?

It does not take into account feelings, win rates, loss rates, rage, bribes, candy, crew level, etcetera. The match maker gives no handouts to bad players, and does not punish good players. Sometimes you will be top tier, sometimes you will be at the bottom of the barrel. This is the random nature of the match maker.

The vast majority of the comments here are nonsensical conjecture or trolls having a giggle.

Ah yes, another one of those persistent things the "200% skilled" players like telling themselves to feel better about themselves. All of them 200% true too.

Matchmaking takes in place a few things, player retention is one big.

Mm takes into account BR and tries to put squads on each team. Thats about all it does. Apart from air rb which has soft limits on amount bombers and attackers to 4(you occasionally see a team full of them after a new premium).

Tinfoil hats been on sale again?

So the purpose is to drrive away older players?
I was doing the FROST task about a week ago and after 10 "balanced matches", victories and defeats and decent BR... all of a sudden I got full uptiers and suicidal teammates... for about 5 matches in a row.... it was time to call it a day...

I talk about what happens during a match and not about matchmaking. People who play Fifa know about handicap thing "It's so obvious that EA reduces the passing accuracy of the winning team and increase the interception and reaction of losing team". In War Thunder - one team gets oneshot shells, better vision on a map, better armour, better artillery, better ricochet chance, better BRs and etc. So the other team just gets pain and humilitation and thats why people died fast and leave asap from a battle. Can we just play the game as it is?

I've considered the buffing and nerfing dynamic myself during certain battles. I just believe it is a necessary evil in video games in general where a large group of participants need to be pandered to. Such is the reality of the business I fear.

so, because fifa uses handicap that proves gaijin uses it? Dont you need to prove that first?
Whats a 200 % skilled player? how do you know you are?

Its like these people think that aiming at a weakspot with enough pen from the right angle is all of a sudden not going to pen because of some handicap.

Im assuming half these people just aim centre mass for every shot and hope for the best. If they get a kill its 'skill' if they dont then the other side has the handicap.

Go back to your bean buker with your conspiracies. Or just leave the game. Since your claim has no concrete proof you fall back to insults. Go away troll.
