Hi all, I have a YT channel which has been mainly WoT however, I'm going to be doing a series of videos on this game so if you're interested, please take a look and subscribe I will be concentrating on PvP and the tank capabilities towards that game mode https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMD9G_y4RQfdPdByYbSckWA And here's my first

What hasn't been said already? Idk, at least, this seems an old fashioned case of causation vs correlation... But whatever, I would be interested in seeing a test of glops without wildcards. Although this might turn out horribly... Not really, chip damage is really not much of a issue in glops or pvp, pve is were it is bad. That said, I still don't like 0.33, so I can't bring myself to play too many games.

Your numbers didn't prove the presence of skill-based MM, all your data showed is that the MM don't distribute platoons and vehicles equally (which is already known). You're taking a giant leap by saying this unequal distribution is somehow related to anything skill-based at all. You are also ignoring the impact of yourself in each of your match outcomes. Regardless of your skill, your performance (or lack of) will have effects in each of your matches such as allowing your team to have the local numerical advantage/disadvantage. If you damage something, that's an impact in the overall match. You cannot prove the presence of skill-based MM when you yourself is a variable in your experiment. Your sample size of 299 is also statistically insignificant in what you're trying to prove, given the Glops player population of a few thousand (I think) and the total number of Glops matches played server-wide over the period of time it took you to sample 299 matches. I'm sorry, your math is actually just bad and your experimental method flawed. SS is correct in pointing that out. I would ignore the numbers and stay with the theories and suggestions.

Nice, I also just started AW and will check out your videos!

This got me 2nd (I think? Might have been 3rd) in the AW Grill Contest.

Mathematics? You are making assumptions about the entire game based on 300 battles, at one point you argue with 42 lost battles. That is a statistically unremarkable number. To draw any conclusions, you'd have to have a sample two orders of magnitude larger. And even that's not great. Make it three. You'd be surprised how many battles are played each week. I am looking at a weekly sample from back in 0.28 and it's around half a million battles per 2 weeks and that's PVP (Random Battles) only. AW has much higher player count than players realize.

Allow me to save you some headaches. You can't run a skill MM because REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE You can't impose absolute platoon rules because platoons would never get in a match (and non-absolute rules, those we have already) You can't ban platoons because social gameplay is a strong retention driver and way, WAY above in priority above balance, removing it is a huge no-no You can't ban premiums or screw around with their matchmaking because they are paid content and their owners would not take kindly to their toys being limited (also, all your vehicle observations are based on pre 0.33 and thus potentially invalid) You can't limit or ban any vehicles in fact, we can't punish players for owning certain class (and don't bring up SPGs, that's a very unique case) You can't introduce absolute MM rules because the mode is already unpopular and it would just become deserted Like I said elsewhere, there are no easy solutions to this, certainly nothing that can be randomly brainstormed by players on a forum. But... well, you can surprise me, miracles do happen sometimes after all.

Apparently playing in a stet-padding three man pluton with OP tonks is salt inducing On a serious note tough: Those death threats are premier-class support material. Would not hesitate a second to take some time to file it in. This dude would be a good candidate for a perma (chat) ban.

I ran into him this weekend. He played the game of stupid with me. He crested a hill and started to back up but since he had to be in front of me the ENTIRE match so far, I let him have that position except he tried to back up into me. I came to a full stop. Since I didn't "know" what was going on I stayed right where I was and he got Bradley'ed to death. He thought he would "get even" with me until I side stepped an incoming missile volley after popping smoke and he ate both of them. Its the little things I live for....
