I'm getting really tired of seeing match after match after match where the results are all but guaranteed by the matchmaker.  

Having 6 tier 6's each sounds great, but when their T6's are all KV-2's and ours are all VK3001's, they win.

Looking at the teams, seeing one team reading Heavy, Heavy, Medium, Medium, Medium, Medium, TD, Light...  The other team?  Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, TD, Medium...  Not even close to balanced.

If both teams have, say, 5 heavies...  make them at least comparable heavies!  KV-1's and BDR-G1B's do not in any way compare to T29's or IS-3's, despite sharing the same tank class.

We're not asking for perfectly cloned teams here, but come on, devs...  Surely you can try to get things matched up at least a LITTLE CLOSER???

I still don't get the point of heavies vs meds battles. Sure, the meds get higher tiers because they're meds, but it doesn't matter when one heavy destroys them all.

This will fall on deaf ears and will probably get squash because of the "Official Match Maker" thread we are suppose to use but that no one important reads.

Yes MM is terrible here on the NA server.
I think it's all about perspective though, I mean here on the NA server we have a very tiny population so the MM doesn't work well.
On the RU server they have a HUGE population so the MM has a lot to work with.

What they should do is implement server specific MM but I doubt they'd do that because it would be a pain to update and various other things that we probably would think are incredibly stupid and pointless.

If you have a team of meds, you simply have to use your mobility to beat the heavies.  Dont expect to be able to take them head on, so try something different.  Ive had many games where the meds beat out the heavies by flanking in groups or out capping them.  Just takes a bit more team work and thought than just rushing at them or trying to attack them all from the front.  Meds should never do that anyway...

but i do agree that the MM could use some work.

my idea to fix mm to an extent. a simple 5 second wait time = more for the mm to work with = better matchmaking = problem solved.

[MedicOnDuty]

As I've moved up and gotten better tanks, the tiers of battles haven't been the disparaging part; as the OP says, its been the types of tanks. There is nothing like getting into a tier 3-5 battle and seeing that the other team has 5 tier 5 heavies and your team only had 2. Unless those 5 heavies have rocks for brains, the odds are stacked against you from the start.

They're trying to fix mm but it's rather difficult... Last revision was planned for 7.3 but got scrapped due to negative feedback on the test server... Just deal with it for now, it's not terrible as long as you play your role

[rustyshackelford3000]

I would say only 1 in 10 is really messed up, not that bad really if you think about it.

Even with a huge population the stacking problem would still exist. I know the Ru server has a huge population but what I hear is they still complain about the MM.

[Sym_MkV]

Yes, even in RU they complain as they forced to witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational Match Maker!  Muahahahaha


No really, it sucks over there too.

[Hunter259]

I Also would like to not have my tier six go agianst tier 9s everyother battle im fine with a couple 8s but 4 to 5 9s REALLY!

If one heavy destroys them all then the medium drivers are just plain BAD!

The NA server population is low compared to the EU and RU servers. That means the matchmaker has less to work with, creating less balanced teams.
