Been on this game since it came out and I will have to say the mm wasn't this bad before. What did you do to it ? Don't think I'm gonna spend one more dime until something is fixed. This is horrible . How do I get on that magical list that gives me favor in mm eyes?All games tonight have screwed me from the get go. Whatever you have done has put this game in the toilet.

[Flyz_it_Dies_XD]

I Don't like the old mm very much. I'm already missing the +1/+1

[Spookseye]

I don't have data to back this up but AFK's seem to have increased about 15-20%. It's now a rare battle without at least one afk.

Matchmaking is not good.  Now I can predict the winning team every time just by looking at the intro screen.  There's probably something wrong with that.  The new map is nice.

[WHOsURDADDY_1]

+2-2 ..... I absolutely agree with everyone else on the match making B.S. EVERYTHING match it's the topic on conversation and dislike on both sides ... whoever decided to go back to this matchmaking cràp needs to be kicked in there cameltoe, and fired..... new maps great .. love more maps more more more lol...... chat mode in battle is still broken keyboard covers team chat and world chat buttons on my galaxy note 5. I've tried everything to decrease size but nothing works on my end. People looking for platoons or respond to people looking are screwed because they can't answer. Visibility is broken to , once I'm lit up I apparently stay lit up seeing how I get nailed across entire map by random tanks no matter how much hiding under do .. lots of people are having issues with that, camo seems a waste ,seems I and others get lit up faster with it and odd thing is it seems to help opposite teams concealment when equipped on your tank.. aka enemy tank appears smack on top of u with no warning .

Hate the new format as well.  Had a battle of 2 tier VII and 5 tier V versus 5 tier VII and 2 tier V.  How is that even fair?  I'm all for battles that try you, but get real that is way uneven. 

[Samboca]

I'm seeing a few issues:

 

1. Tank movements are stuttering constantly, and badly.

2. It usually takes about 20 to 30 seconds after the game ends until I'm back in the garage.

3. Ping indicator is wrong prior to starting the battle (and often upon immediate return from battle)

[DeadPOOL_1979]

I am an average player that has enjoyed many battles in blitz.  I will still play the game but my wallet is now closed with this new/old matchmaking system.  The -1/+1 was the best thing this game has done since I started playing in December of 2014.  

I've had my share of unequal matchmaking for and against myself.  I don't even have fun on the winning side of a 3-10, 3-9, 1-8 (tiers) win against a 2-10, 2-9 3-8 battle.  To be honest I don't know how anyone, on either side could think that was fun winning 7-0 in less than 90 seconds.

In 2.6 I didn't experience any extended waiting time, just fair matches that were enjoyable more often than not.  I know for the unicoms tooning with his Unicom buddy on teamspeak the -1/+1 setup leveled the playing field for them a little and therefore prefer the current setup.  For me who has experienced more fun in the game than the current setup WILL NOT spend another dime on this game until they fix what in my eyes they already fixed once.

[Dontrunihavecandy_1]

If it wasn't for the awesome new map we got, I'd say this was the WORST update so far. I can't believe we brought back MM +2/-2, FIX this NOW!!!

[Ken_Taylor]

After 5,000 + battles I had to finally log onto the forums to post my dislike of the matchmaking.  I can't find words to describe it.  The only way to not be the bottom tier seems to be to use a X tier.  Unfortunately currently my highest tier is 8.  I use my 8's and I end up facing 10's. I use a 6, and I'm up against 8s. It was that way for my last 5 battles.  It makes it really difficult to grind my way to the next tiers.  As a clan lead, I've noticed the numbers of player contributions to clan supply has dropped way off since this update. Wargaming, you guys should have the numbers available to you, how much has the numbers dropped since you went back to this?  I know it can't be that you aren't making enough money from this game.  In the first two days you made $183,000 from people buying gold to get the IS-3 Defender.  You even made a little off me after I got through the 6th stage & bought some gold.  Please, go back to the +1/-1 matchmaking.

[Old_Egg_Shen]

I'm not sure why +2/-2 matchmaking was reinstated, but I doesn't make the gameplay any better. It does the opposite. Whenever you're one of the -2 players, you're cannon fodder. Please reinstate +1/-1 matchmaking.

[DD_Brock]

The game keeps crashing on me at the end of battles since update 2.7 went live.

[Sheepyisme]

2/-2 Match making is horrible bring back 1/-1 match making plz

[ruggs225]

I guess I am one of the few who like th -2/+2 mm.  I did enjoy the -1+1 as well but with the 2 there is just more variety of tanks on the battlefield. Also it feels like less tanks are op when u have more tiers. On the 1 mm it was the same Russian tanks and German heavies that dominated upper tiers. Now u see less per battle and it's more enjoyable.

 

 

Basically I am fine with any mm but if they go to 1mm their needs to be some serious buffs/nerds for almost all tier 8 plus tanks.

[Ken_Taylor]

OK, another change I am not liking to this update.  When I select a module it auto scrolls down to the gun info, or track info.  I would rather it stay the same as before, I prefer to see the change in the orange bars first & then scroll down for particulars.  So, that and the match making, both on my list of dislikes.  I do like the improved graphics and the new map though. Thumbs up on that.

I'm quite certain the same idiot who thought Global Chat default was a great idea was the same one who thought bringing back +2-2 was brilliant.

 

WOT: did you not read how much appreciated +1-1 was? How could it be that you did not catch onto that one? Someone needs to go work for your competitor, so they will lose money and not you. Do you really think I'm going to spend more money with your back to lameness game with +2-2? Please think again if you think I am going to. 

 

The game stutters immensely!!! Tanks skip in and out of view, even right in front of you like they've got some Romulan cloaking devise. 

 

Was this update an attempt to piss peeps off? 

 

Please fix the bugs and get your MM straight. People want fair not impossible.

I'm so glad to read someone else experiences the same issue.  The stutter is horrible.  It's like tanks slipping on ice every few seconds.  And it is awful sometimes when you jump back into WoTB after using some other program for a while.  I've started off battles where I've had no control of the tank for minutes, it just glides around like a puck on an air hockey table.

 

I think WG screwed up big time here.
