These are the last three battles I've had with her. She's amazing. I'm rocking everything. But the game has clearly been designed to make me lose.

Thoughts?

Even with the defeats, you are still making lots of credits.

I also heard something (I don't know if it's true or not, so dont take my word for it) that matchmaker places the majority of inexperienced players on one team, and a large amount of experienced players on the other.

I couldn't confirm this though, because I do not use XVM mod.

-1 what r u trying to spread rumours for?
people have bad days, they have bad luck sometimes....everybody has a losing streak once in a while....get over it.
The other thing to remember is that no matter how complex the algorythm, there is no such a thing as a "random" number generator.  
As much as I am a proponent of changes to the MM, and dont see it deliberately being set to screw over players</sup>

That sounds like a fairly uninformed rumor started by disgruntled newbies tired of losing. Why on earth would WG code Match Maker to do that? To frustrate inexperienced players and throttle growth of the game? It makes no sense.

Beyond that, I've seen no evidence of this at all. Were it the case you'd find yourself in cakewalk after cakewalk. It doesn't happen.

Well if my KV-1, KV-2 stats have anything to say about it...K/D ratio, avg exp...etc

And then my terrible win ratio.

I think MM DOES put the screws to you if you win a few battles in a row.  I 've had several instances where I had decent to ok MM, and won a few games in a row, then BAM, I'm in a tier 5 in a tier 9 match, or I'm in a tier 8 in a tier 10 match.  Still, if you're making decent bank, don't sweat it too much.  Try and learn from the losses, if possible.

[Tank_Buster_]

Agreed with Sierra1968 take the losses as expirence to leran what NOT to do, remember this a team game play, and how often dont we see some new guys doing dumb things and there s not a dam thimg you can do about it, welcome to Wot, ps if u are going to sufer because of win ratios , stats, ect ect you are in for a eally bad expirence, have fun ,remember when u were running around in your T1 and T2s that was fun do a little of that , helps u blow of syeam .

[steel_eater]

You just had bad luck with bad teammates, it'll average out to be better over time.

Good example , and this seems to happen a LOT.. I know it does happen to me win 3 loose the next 10, But as long as you record good hits the EXP and cash do load up..

Again, notice I said "Dont take my word for it", it is only something I have heard, dont take it too seriously in the long run, because I have no idea whether or not it is correct.
