I was in my Grille today on mines and witnessed just how bad can people be in this game. I was lucky to be in an artillery so I can watch my replay and find out if this match was a joke to begin with.
Seriously, this game need a better MM that consider people's performance, I don't see how losing in that situation can make me enjoy this game anymore than just lose without killing anyone (I find more joy from an easy win with no kills).
I attached my replay, it's very short (amazing how fast people commit suicide in this game). Please watch it and tell me if I was wrong.

Dude you gota accept the fact that no amount of coding will be able to remove Stupid players in this game 80% of the human population is considered below average in the intelligence department all you can do is take a deep breath and hope you beat the luck of the draw next game

That doesn't seem statistically possible.  :Smile_unsure:

At least both team could have equal chance to win instead of one team got rolled completely just because they get bad players who only commits suicide or just go afk

You can be anything you want to be on the internet.

Surprisingly, 90% of the people on the internet decide to be stupid.


Not even an internet god knows why...

Not sure how it works like that, but the efficiency calculator now says 48% are below average players. Used to be much less......Guess the players are getting worse....Maybe the average person is getting stupider....LOL

You can't blame those players.

They are playing for fun.

What you need to look at is the average and the median.

90% of the people can be below "average" if the high end is set high enough.  It's called outliers.

Eliminate those outliers, and you get a more true representative graph of players.  That is why the median is just as important as the average.  It will tell you how far the statistics are skewed and towards what end.

My brother is a Orthopaedic Surgeon, and he is worse at this game than I am!

God help whoever he operates on!

Amazing to find out so many thinks the majority players are just dead weight to the team.

It is possible but unlikely, eg a small minority would have to have stupidly high iqs :P

(and by average you mean the mean)

Here's how it happened: of the top-tier players on your side, two of them are almost certainly bots/farmers and the others are career below-average players.

With no one to carry the torch, you can lose quick in a low tier game.

And if 80% was below average, wouldn't that affect the average?  What intelligence is being measured?  I've met quite a few highly educated, high IQ...idiots.

was playing tonight and this keep happening to me, WG should just add a new game mode called save dumb pubs, where you will have to save dumb pubs from enemy fire, if you can't save them, then kill them before enemy kills them so they can die in honor.
