Tier matchmaking

[=P4F=Si]

can someone please explain to me how 2 clan members cant play together when their 2 ships are 2 tiers apart but the games ok to put tier 9 ships in when your a tier 7.

So with +1/-1 in division you can potentially be at -3 tiers from top tier in a match which is bad enough (known as "fail divisions" for a reason). With +2/-2 allowed you could be 4 tiers lower than the highest tier in match which would be even more painful.

That said they used to have no restrictions on it so you could division a tier 5 with a tier 10 if you so desired, but that was a bit silly and got changed a long time ago.

Join a clan and see If you feel the same about what you just typed, Sure clans do play together In randoms but WG know how to deal with It. And you just got up tiered big deal nothing new In this game, and by the way you have the same ships on the other team so quit crying. You have a 50% chance of not wining , I see your profile Is closed tells me a lot you even have 200 hours. Can you even carry your team to a win ? Join a clan If you think Its so op unfair your In for a rude awakening........

It used to be that way, but it was obnoxious to other players. Say you're a T7, you bring a 5, then get into a T9 battle. Your T5 ships is useless. Lots of complaints later, WG finally changed it.

You'd think Wargaming could just fix their horrendous matchmaker to actually take into account the tiers of all ships in the division, instead of just the highest tier ship. But no, they're more concerned with preventing players from having any semblance of control over what tier of battle they load into than anything that might actually lead to more balanced matches.

Why would we want that? Just bring the proper tiers. If you are T7 and bring a friend that's 5, it'd be an exploit to always be top tier. Never happen.

It would be pretty crazy if this was allowed - would almost become mandatory to bring a mismatched division so that the person with the +1 boat would sometimes be top and the only person at that tier in the match.

Don't know who pissed in your cornflakes when you wrote that awful reply you die0244 but i asked what i thought was a simple question and don't need some immature reply like yours for sure.thanks to the grown ups who tried explaining it a little better to me though.My profile is locked and tbh is no business of yours ya buffoon so do me a favour.if you have nothing constructive to say stay of my post and let the adults chat eh.

thanks banzai for your reply

p.s done over 720hrs btw stopped playing for a while and only just restarted playing again not that once again is any of your business

[Senser]

it was a perfectly logical question, you would think that it would be ok as the 2 ships are in the same bracket (5-7) but with the up tiering its something to avoid. There was no need for the random salt reply but that seems to be getting thrown into a lot of posts around here lately.

[Banzai]

Completely agree with above two posts - please be nice all.

And welcome @OP. After thinking about it I was going through various team setups that would be hilarious if you were allowed to be the only top tier if MM matched you with your lower tier in division :)

Hope you wont be discouraged to play on.

[=P4F=Si]

oh ill keep playing on for sure. :).thanks again

Just a question, why it is so hard to queue up together within +- 1 tier? The higher tier player should have lower tier ships available. It is only about ship tiers not player skills, right?

I believe there is a video on the WOWs website (or YouTube if you want to search) that explains in general how the MM system works. Basically if you are signing up as an individual, your ship gets placed in several pots for potential games, which is why sometimes you are top tier, sometimes all players are same tier and sometimes you get uptiered. This generally reduces the time to get into a game since once any one of the pots you are in fill up, those players get pulled into a game. If two players with different tier ships (say, Tier 6 and 7) are signing up together, then the number of pots is reduced (you can't get a pure Tier 6 or pure Tier 7 game now) and since the fewer pots have to completely fill before you can start playing, it may take longer to get placed in a game.
