The blue and green players would suffer the most. But everyone would gain a better gaming experience, because the matches would be more fun.

Perception of mirroring teams is just bad, but having same amount of OP tanks would be nice… Oh, but according to WG there is none…

Conclusion > If my team heve 5 mediums on the top enemy team shoud have 5 mediums on the top too. Its fine that the weight of tanks on both side are same but the setup is totaly wrong …

That way randoms and Tier 1-9 are still free for all and are just that “Random” and there’s a higher area of gameplay for those that qualify for it. If you enable it by tank % then it could also give the benefit of not excluding every player that has below 50% winrate overall.

I’m sure this idea is full of holes but feel free to point them out to me,

In an analysis of over 2,000 solo pub battles, this is what i found:
Players lose less than 3% of the battles with a greater than 60% XVM chance to win.
Players win less than 3% of the battles with a less than 40% XVM chance to win.
the battles outside of the 40-60% chance to win range account for about 30% of the average player’s battles.
So basically 30% of the average player’s battles have a predetermined result due to the difference in skill between the teams.

If we could get rid of the battles outside of the XVM 40-60% chance to win range the game play would be more dependent on layer skill and teamwork. Yet it wouldn’t force everyone to have the same win rate.

I’m guessing you’re bad.

I don’t think it would cause problems such as clans splitting etc. It’s each player’s choice where he will play.

There is also some players who can’t be bothered to play randoms much because they are too easy and are searching for other things, If they like randomness and bad team mates they can always switch back to non skill based random battles. There would be randomness in positioning, timing, line-ups, player performance in skill based games, you might just have more elements of teamplay.

Now, it can be argued that the MMO pvp has RNG to it, but skill is also a huge factor (far more important is when or how one uses abilities, rather than if it hits for 100 damage more or less).

There’s literally no reason skill-based MM can’t be implemented into WoT; indeed, if the devs want WoT to be taken seriously as an E-sport, they nearly HAVE to implement it. At least 50% of the whining will be because it’s a new thing and people hate change. And the other 50% will be the devs whining because it means they will have to drastically reduce or remove the RNG in one or both of penetration and damage rolls, which they inexplicably love so much.

To all the naysayers saying unica won’t be unica. This is true from a stats standpoint – superunica like Garbad or Sela (US server… sorry I do not know the names of any EU or RU unica by heart) will no longer have win rates or WN*’s literally dozens of percentiles higher than the average. However, their skill will place them in a much higher bracket. The new unica will be Platinum or Diamond or higher (to use SC2/League of Legends terminology), and all the bads will be pushed down into whatever the lowest bracket is.

TL;DR Skill-based matchmaking is a typical case of “naysayers don’t actually understand skill-based matchmaking.” However, we all know that it is very hard for Wargaming to “properly” implement something, so unfortunately the naysayers will get to say “we told you so.”

And from personal perspective: There’s hardly ever a unicum playing alone. A Unicum platoon is 20% of a team and 10% of the overall tanks. That’s were a lot of the wipes I experience come from (a load of the others from “bot level” platoons)
