As long as it takes to get to a cap and cap it and, yes, Random. Must be a lot of casual players out today. Oh well, I just downloaded a new environmental science textbook and I think I'll read it this week. I used to teach a course in it but it's been a while so I probably need to catch up. I drove to the next town to fill up the truck and go to the store this morning. I'm planning to hunker down for the week because we are forecast for eight inches of snow, starting tomorrow. I got my electric snowblower out of the shop and am eagerly anticipating a snow blowing session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of steamroll is the norm now. If you have match maker monitor all you see on both teams for the most part now are yellow and red stats players. It once was whose better players played best. Now it is whose bad players will make the first mistake and start the steamroll. Edited January 4 by SeaQuest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snargfargle Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 I've noticed that steamrolls bring out the worst in players, and not only from the losing team. However, with close games it's usually complements all around on a game well played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, complements come much easier on close games. Close games where both teams have decent players are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of that way in real life too. If someone really messes up on the job because he can't be bothered to learn to perform it correctly, it's his own fault if he's called an idiot. However, if a normally competent worker makes a mistake then it's usually "Hey, man, we've all been there." I once accidentally drove a tractor into an irrigation well riser and caused all sorts of havoc for the farm. However, the farmer just told me that he'd done the same thing last year and if he was going to let the weeds grow up and cover it then he really should put up a sign.

Wait a sec there, Snarglefarle, tho I don't have the replay anymore, I'm sure I've seen the worst team in WoWS. We can all claim this dubious honour, I'm sure. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jingles once posted a video where his team lost all of its players and the enemy not a single one in a Random game too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jingles once posted a video where his team lost all of its players and the enemy not a single one in a Random game too. 4 min is about the shortest I've seen. Everytime I've seen sub 7 minute games it's because one side has a bunch of inexperienced (or hopeless) sub 46% players facing a team that has at least a team average of 4% higher team average WR (but often more than that). When there is that much disparity in skill, it's hardly surprising what happens. Games like this aren't even all that enjoyable for the winning side either... Considering that, it makes it hard to understand why WG is so resistant to at least testing a matchmaker that at least tries to prevent the most unbalanced matches. It's very doable in a way that doesn't add any noticeable time to queue drops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a close loss where both teams really duke it out and it goes down to a couple of remaining ships than a complete "curb stomp". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
