my experiences lately have been mixed like allot of people. The missile tanks just astound me, how they could be introduced and how they have changed the game and made tiers 8, 9 and 10 unplayable at times. It seems that if you have missile tanks on either side, they decide who wins the game allot of the time, the rest of us are fighting over scraps.
However leaving that aside the following things lately have annoyed me, nothing new here:
1) Teams having inexperienced players compared to the other team.
2) AFK or Bot players. I had a 4 battle sequence where every battle had an afk, one battle my team had 3 afk players
3) Like somebody mentioned unfair tank lineups, again I was playing bottom tier as a tier 6 tank, reds had 2 dracs, a Helsing and a type 62 dragon, we had rubbish top tier tanks. Smasher means almost certain loss when bottom tier
4) Why teams aren't balance, ie 1 team has 3 top tier HTs. I had a battle with 3 top tier big alpha TDs, our team had none, why can that not be balanced.
5) Big alpha TDs at lower levels. Im thinking tiers 6 & 7. With inexperienced players at these levels, see issue 1, players don't understand camo or channels the TDs sit in and they get deleted in 30secs, and your team is screwed, especially mts and lts.
6) Runs of being bottom tier, I have had 13 games in a row of being bottom tier and it gets frustrating when u constantly bounce higher tiers or get eliminated early as you just can compete with higher tiers if the player has some skill.
Solutions
1) Look at ranking players and evening teams out. I don't enjoy winning 7-0, not sure what other think
2) Harsher penalties for repeat AFK/BOT offenders, how the notorious bacon bot kept going without penalty for months still bothers me. I used to check his stats on blitzstars and they would play 200 games a day and average 8 dmg with no kills, I reported him numerous times and nothing was done.
3 & 4) Balance tanks, ie if 3 top tier Hts in a battle, split them, agree on platoons being excepted. OP tanks should be split or made be bottom tier more regularly.
5) Nerf either pen on big alpha tanks, or make them more likely to be penned with HE.
6) I would like more battles where its all same tier, I want a contest, not to smash people for fun. Being constantly bottom tier is a big reason people jump up tiers before ready in my experience.
