This is a good idea. Actually, it’s a great idea. This will allow new players (and those still trying to come terms with concepts like tactics and teamwork) to play others of their ilk (almost a skillbased MMing, but not quite) and allow those who know what they are doing not to be saddled with less useful people on their side.

Another shame WG won’t do this, it’s a win win all around.

I played my first 20k battles or so on an old laptop with 10 fps on average.
I played not caring for stats, always rushing forward for simple fun – and because I’m bored easily always alt-tabbing during pre-battle countdown, so it happened I realised battle started way too late.

And still had 53% win ratio.
If you are so lame you need to have 60 fps to play decent then it’s your problem.

Also stop whining about bad players hurting their teammates. As in every game with random elements (this time – tandom team matchmaking) bad players hurt you as often as help you. Even more – if there is 1 bad player added to your game, he has 14 slots on your team and 15 of opponents team to choose from, so more often then not he is on the other side.

Last but not least: try playing WoWp and you will se how MM works in a game with much less players.
Players that don’t pay are still needed for F2P because with more players, it’s easier to create the games.
It isn’t a problem with creating random battles, but every other game mode is atm borderline of not having enough players

Well, the WG HQ is in Cyprus; EU citizens have an advantage in this case, they just apply to the Court of Justice of the European Union ;), but US… I don’t know :/

I like to keep my winrate a bit on the low side it helps to keep the clan leeches off of me.

but hey,, it’s their MM that sometime tend to mix BOTs,, unicunt,, and newbies,, if he seriously new to this game,, i don;t really mind,, a unicunt,, nahhh that will make the game more challenging,, but hey,, here come the bot with their sweet accuracy (accurate enough to blow up a village in sand river),, about headless chicken tier 10 player,, use their useless sacrife as distraction,, i kill a WTF E100 in my T-44 last night because he focused his eyes on a bullrush T-62A (that ridicoulusly,, died because a KV-5 ram him)

Some thoughts:
– The ONLY reason why this thread even exists is because of the sheer frustration that many players have with some of our fellow teammate. Personally, I don’t have a problem with them when they’re learning, so long as they’re smart enough to stay away from top tiers. What REALLY annoys me is a muppet who’s used a BOT to get himself a BatChat, then proceeds to be AFK for the first 2 mins, before rushing off to suicide. Seriously, STOP playing T10 tanks
– Do remember that this is a TEAM game. Says so all over the material that’s on the net. As such, players who think they can turn up and swan around are simply WRONG. By hitting that battle button, you SHOULD be thinking that it’s your job to help your team, NOT to be AFK or shoot your own team in the back. As an analogy, imagine you go to a park and ask a team to play football with them, THEN proceed to sit down and look at the clouds instead of defending. That’s the equivalent of being AFK in game. BOTH are “just games”, and both TEAMS have a right to have some expectations on their PLAYERS
– Ref the earlier comments about hardware being the fault. Seriously, I just don’t buy that. When I see really useless players in T10 tanks, doesn’t make me think “hey, he’s got a bad frame rate, which is why he’s avoiding close combat”. Makes me think, “hey, he’s just deliberately SUICIDED in his IS8. THAT has jack all to do with frame rate. That’s a player who’s absconded from fulfilling the expectations of his team mates
– Ref Skilled based MM. Just NO. Good players want to avoid even playing with tomatoes, not be saddled with being OBLIGED to carry them. I’m sick of being in games where out tomatoes have just thrown away games, despite me doing maybe 5k damage in a T9 tank
– Leagues, YES. If WG won’t ban tomatoes from playing in T9 and 10 tanks, then please give us LEAGUES. Just two is enough, i.e. an upper and a lower. Still gives us a spread of players within each league. Means that the good players can avoid being anywhere near tomatoes, whilst the tomatoes and PuFFs (i want to PLAY FOR FUN), can jackass around together with the bots and the AFKers to their hearts content.

It’s more of a pay2getAnAdvantage or pay2getGoodStats.
You can regularly see padded smurfs and unicums being ouplayed like total noobs by regular orange/yellow players. But that’s how WG made this game, they make mad money on people throwing money at the screen and telling themselves it’s skill.
