Aloha,

So some days you will have winning streaks and some days you will not.

Myself, with an overall of 56% W/R across something like 12k battles. I have had days where I had a 95% W/R across 15 games and then the next day a 30% W/R. It is the way of online gaming.... Ebbs and Flows.

Also, currently since everyone is stuck at home you have a higher than normal server player count, with A LOT of people still learning how to play. If you are getting super angry over a game, I would suggest a breather and coming back to try again later.

All that being said, please be careful of the personal attacks, your OP had little to no information to go off of and the community is attempting to solicit more information from you (albeit not the best way sometimes).

Mahalo,

If there was a pattern of more losses then wins, it would not be possible for so many of us to maintain a 55% or above W/R. And there are people that do so regularly and even that get up into the 70% area. So I am unsure what you're getting at.

The average player on NA has a 46-48% W/R. Though I don't really care about stats, I have paid attention to this since before I worked for WG and ever since Alpha testing.

Truth be told there are days where I EXPECT not as many wins because I know the server populations are higher, which means more people that play games to just play games and don't care about statistics. Fri night, Sat and Sun are these days. And for over a year now it has appeared that Mondays are that way as well.

As I said before, currently however, we are having higher than normal server populations, because of current events. So this will be more common.

So here is the thing, I can look at my own global stats for the past year and my W/R has steadily been on the increase, ever so slowly. Regardless of win and loss streaks. As I have said, I have been playing this game since alpha testing and my W/R for the past year has slowly been increasing on a steady curve from 55.8 up to almost 57%, its slow, because I have 12000 battles in game (in randoms). And across all classes. It typically takes me about 10 losses in a row for me personally to quit playing for awhile, that may be different for others, but I don't play to pad my stats, I play because it's a game... and regardless when I am losing or winning, I am enjoying time with friends.

Folks this is a game, you shouldn't be delving so hardcore into trying to figure out how the game is "stacking the teams against you" it isn't occurring on purpose, MM DOES NOT take into account ANY statistics to make the teams up.

Can you work to find a pattern? I am sure you can, patterns can be found EVERYWHERE. It doesn't mean that it's built in to occur this way. We have and do break down exactly how MM works and how it forms teams. it has NOTHING to do with any statistics.

No offense, but I just told you straight up that MM does NOTHING with stats when it comes to composing teams. We have been tweaking MM for years, whether that is the changes in 0.8.7 for uptiering, limiting classes in battles, etc etc, but player statistics are NEVER utilized. And for the time being they will never be utilized, because of the complexity that it would require to make MM do so.

The only thing I can say is if your personal W/R is going down steadily over time, perhaps doing a deep dive into your own statistics, play styles, the classes you're playing the tiers etc etc. I know for me, when I start doing poorly in a ship or class, I do some self introspect to see what I may be doing wrong to overcome this. Especially with the MANY mechanic changes over the years.

No I did not ignore that comment, nor does it counter my explanation because PR is not made up ONLY of W/R.

I have also seen my PR increase on ships like Hindenberg my worst W/R ship I believe... because I can deal A LOT of damage but for some reason can't seem to get a win on her like I can other ships.

A lot of factors go into PR. Damage output for one.

If you play a Thunderer and boarder hug spamming HE and dealing massive amounts of damage but constantly lose because the enemy is allowed to cap, you could in essence see a PR increase (this is just one example btw)

Again, I can't speak for YOUR statistics and how you've done in game. Only you can do this, I said that above.

So I have never started a major corporation before. Have you? So I don't know why patents for ANYTHING might be needed, especially in a legal precedence. And what you're saying is purely conjecture.

I will say this, if you have a system that could possibly be mimicked by a competitor (and if you think they don't exist you're wrong) filing a VERY far arcing patent on something that you wish to keep proprietary then would seem prudent.

Whether you believe me or not, WE DO NOT nor for the foreseeable future intend to have ANY kind of stat based MMing.

And TBH, some ships are just that way... it is so annoying... I actually have a few ships like that... I can throw up BIG numbers, I have fun in them, love them. But don't play them often because they are on my "plagued" list of poor W/R ships LOL.

And then there are weird ships that I am really good in like Kidd.... I don't have IFHE and don't even have Demo-Expert... and some how am REALLY good in her LOL.

Folks,

This topic is NOT ANYWHERE near what the OP originally posted and there for DOA.

Furthermore, quoting information that applies to other titles that WG owns does not necessarily apply to World of Warships. Especially when a clear explanation has been stated multiple times..
