I literally cannot believe how 85% of Blitz players are completely and totally CLUELESS about how to play the game.  How can anyone... HOW CAN ANY RATIONAL human being with even a shred of common sense keep playing a game 30,000 and 40,000 and 50,000 times LOSING 6 out of every 10 games or worse? 

 

Saw a  player today that plays over 4,000 games a month (TTMAN) and loses... HE LOSES over half his games and he keeps playing and doing low damage no D/R.

 

Unbelievable.  How?  How can EIGHT OUT OF TEN Blitz players find losing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and not learning anything about how to play fun?

 

INSANE!!!!!

Because mommy pays for their tanks and they don't care about winning since we give out medals, trophies and participation ribbons for losing nowadays?

INSANE!!!!!

so a couple of points. 
 

1. chill. it’s a game. some people play it for fun and only fun. some play it to be good at something. do I wish that the player base were better? yes. was my mission to score 3 wins in rating yesterday epically awful? completely. 
 

2. zero-sum game. for every winning team there has to be a losing team. there are small margins between winning 4:6 and 6:4. some make the leap. some don’t. 
 

3. no love for TT. on average TT nearly does his HP in damage and kills more red than he dies. TT is not your enemy. 

 

4. Not possible. I’ve raised this before in a post and asked SockRobber about it. TT is playing 250 hours in the let 30 days. that’s 10 whole days (24hrs) or 8.33 hours each day. And TT is not the highest nor even on the top 10. He’s #22. 
 

5. W T F. At #10 is Gar_124 who played 7092 battles at 2:58 per battle. that’s an average of 11.6 hours per day. but at...

 

6. #1 is Crazydaisy666. Daisy played 15125 battles at 2:53 per battle which is 24 hours a day for 30 days. Which either means Blitzstars is wrong or Daisy dgaf about the real world. Daisy owns a few premium tanks which presumably gives her a hard pass on any WG scrutiny about account sharing.

Feel your pain, most at the start of the game have no idea we’re they want to go. Everyone’s looking at each other rollin around in circles, or there up your butt, scared to get hit. Me I wanna get to a spot and get the first shots in that i can. 
 

im terrible in town, weak peek a boom player, but hold my own with hull down heavies in the wild. I’ve watched all of DMGs map vids a few times, still do it’s a lot to remember. I know that a lot is based on opponents line up, but I go to the points that DMG points out.

 

like if your in a heavy on Yamato harbor, don’t go to the ships and sit there shooting back and forth, it’s a clusterfek and most times your there the whole game getting nothing done. 
 

on canal I much prefer the A side, heavy lane, but everyone wants to go to the center, center is a killing field imo, that A side has those nice big berms, and a great field of fire to both sides.
 

pretty much don’t go near town, haha, it’s a death trap.

Definitely something wrong here.  If you go into their history log, there’s only about 1,000 battles played in March.

Underrated point. May not be an all-star but he isn't doing anything to hurt pub gameplay at high tiers, and I can't recall him being a jerk, either. Bad pick. 

[crpl_hicks]

Yeah Nothing calms the nerves of someone who is frustrated with poor players( for whatever reason) than to say...It's just a game.  So what?  I get it, we all get it...but is that an excuse to play like you don't care?  Then play a Single Player game like Candy Crush, or a 1 on 1 game like Tennis Clash or Golf, where the only person you affect with your selfishness is Yourself.

 

This is a team game.  And Like it or Not I have to depend on others giving a Rats [edited], just as I would expect them to depend on me.  I speak in Gereral, not with regards to any one individual    Bluerock??

very true. but there is the issue of perspective. sometimes it’s just worth reminding ourselves. game. life. not the same thing.

This is true, but if you are spending that much time playing a game, its apparently part of your life...a large portion of it and haven't progressed beyond below average. As Spock would say...fascinating.

As a voodoo practitioner, I am very concerned about players having no brains.  When I make zombies, what are they supposed to eat?  It's on you WG.

Aaahh I was going to make a zombie joke but you are way ahead of me. Lol

[Texas_Tyrant]

Welcome to brainless blitz. That's why unicums are so good. Higher skill level, yes, but those bad players make it easier to win. They're on both teams.

I can't control what my team or red does, I just walk away if I'm not having fun. If you lose drop tiers until you can mega carry. When I get really frustrated I just Draculate all over, or Tiger 1 or the sequel for a bit.

[Dolly_Sod]

I played quite a few games the other night.  It felt like every 10 or so games I'd have a teamate who would drive to the corner of the map, and wait to die. Funny thing is it was a different guy each time.  One of them had a 32% winrate, an average damage of 101 per battle and 2317 games played. 

 

I'm not sure how this is fun?

 

At least he helps proves the rule that 30% of games are going to be won no matter what you do.
