4Game

I just had 5 losses in a row on my HMC M8, while trying to get first win of the day. I'm only driving it for that first win, I elited it on 3rd consecutive loss when I deleted two opposing tanks with my first two shots. I'm gonna sell it now without the 1st win tanksmas prize because based on past experience the loss streak will continue. These loss streaks are making the game unbearable for me. Obviously they are balanced by win streaks since my win rate remains about 50% but that doesn't make the fact matchmaker is cooking matches any easier to take. This happens to me every day at least once. Since I'm just a random person who started this game on console 3 weeks ago after removing it from my PC a decade ago, it's obviously not an issue of them targeting me personally. It's got to be assumed everyone is having improbable streaks like this. Every day. And by "improbable" I mean that somebody with 50% win rate is going into matches with a coin-toss chances of winning. A streak of even 5 should be very rare, not very common as it is in this game. My theory is the developer is actively intervening to force everyone towards 50%. Without that intervention, the good players would have much better stats than they do and the not-good players (and the new players since low tier is infested with seal-clubbers) would have much worse stats than they do. I'm not interested in playing a PvP game where the developers are intentionally rigging things so that one team is supposed to lose. A lot of people claim this is just random. It's not. This is not what random looks like. Since they are running algorithms on MM to cook the matches, they deserve blame for NOT using algorithms that balance games to be fair. The same routines they use to tilt the playing field in favor of one team could be used to level the playing field, instead.

So, anyway, I'm at stage 98 on the season pass. I've got 31 days of premium left but I suspect that's going to go to waste, because I really can't see myself continuing with this. I can handle being new and bad. I can't handle feeling like the devs are using me as cannon fodder to artificially shape other people's stats. And there's no chance this dev will correct the problem. Their core demographic has been playing the game as it is for many years. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. I guess I'm going to leave it, but not until I finish the season pass. They gave me a lot of nice stuff the last three weeks. It's too bad the game isn't more legit.
