WoT is a complex game with a 15 vs 15 setup where there can platoons of up to 3 players with different skills and tanks. I would not use an algorithm that is allready made, but would ofcourse construct something myself, fit for this game. Just using an algorithm from for example starcraft II without modifications just would not work. (Obviously)

I have posted hints before here and on the forums of a basic starting point I would use (Took me like 5 min to make one up), so I wont do it again.
Also. Describing an algorithm on a forum usually doesnt give anything, since half of the players missunderstand what it would do, and say stupid things like “wouldnt that lead to everyone getting 50% winrate and in the end there would be no way for the algorithm to know who is good and bad.”

So.. Im not going to try again here.

You look at my overallstats and you don’t notice the 2k battle with MS-1… and the arty tree… and the scouts… and other things as well…

As I said, I’ve seen games that consisted of 29 tier 8 and 1 tier10 tank.

The problem is that I could make a better algorithm that puts less stress on the server and does a better job of matching players and tanks together (while at the same time getting rid of bots for regular players, since they would be playing eachother most of the time). I also know for a fact that I am not the only competent programmer in the world. So if WG wanted to, they could just hire someone to do it for them. (I would be up for it if they asked).
BUT since they havnt done that, they clearly does not want to change it for some reason (There might be some underlying economig thing that has nothing to do with matching good teams together that they are considering here).

Remember that WG are not stupid, even if it might seem like it from a players perspective sometimes. They are a bunch of good programmers and most of all they are a buisness that tries to make money as their first goal.

So.. With this in mind, I think that the reason it got taken down was the fact that they know that it is not a good system if they only cared about “even teams”, but they want to keep it anyway (for some reason not told). That makes them want people to talk about it all as little as possible. And I guess that having “constantly beeing revised and improved” in the end will lead to people pointing out the obious problems and wanting to “improve” them.

An option to be considered here (not likley though) is that they have decided to change the matchmaking system, and dont want people to read about stuff soon getting changed anyway.

You get used to it. The upside to this is being able to gauge who’s the most dangerous player on the enemy team and who you can trust on your own team.

I think it’s more than obvious who’s stat noob here. Seriously how the FUCK can you suck this hard at this game after 15k battles played. Are you really that retarded?
