Devs, whatever you did the the MM, undo it! 30 losses 7 wins and I haven't changed.

[LordNothing]

blame the event. people are doing suicide runs for loot right now.

[Prototelis]

Blame yourself; you're the only consistent factor in each one of those matches.

MM does occasionally give you streaks of good or bad. I started the season 14-2, went 5-17 the next day, and 5-1 today. Sometimes you just end up with bad players (a lot of em). When 6, 8, even 10 players don't break 200 pts dmg on your team, I don't care how hard you carry. Play enough games and it will all even out. I also try and change up my mech class to jigger the MM too. And you can always go to your best mechs to try and counteract the vagaries of the MM.

by that logic, he can take full credit for every win he's had because he's the only consistent factor in the wins too

Signed in just to like this. Besides, OP seems to be complaining that his Tier (XP) bar did not fall at all even with 30 losses. No need for someone to do a personal attack.

If you play at a low level and get wins its usually because you're being carried.

if you play at a high level and lose, its your fault?

Wait, why is he not complaining about all of the wins then?

Currently set at 34 wins and 43 losses.. that comes out to 27 wins / 13 losses after taking away the 7 wins / 30 losses..?

And is this an alt/start over account/recent name change and were many of the games in Group instead of Solo queue as he does not have any games listed prior to May 2019.

Not always.

Are we really going to sit here and argue that there isn't a correlation between high w/l ratio and skill/personal improvement?

not arguing that at all, but to say he is the reason for all losses is a bit incorrect, don't you think?

[Prototelis]

Blaming everyone else and not taking any personal accountability absolutely is incorrect.

not what I asked, and not what the OP said either

[Prototelis]

It was implied homie; same as when anyone blames the matchmaker exclusively for a long streak of losses.

[FireStoat]

Dammit. I read the OP's thread title and hoped something positive had been changed with the MM. I feel so baited.

[Jackal Noble]

Unfortunately MM hasn’t changed; the population has.

Those streaks happen, especially at event time

This. Over a large number of losses, blaming anything else other than own performance is silly. Had this argument many times in World of Tanks. Some individuals gamed the system enough to have +70% winrates in pub matches. Bots stood out because they would sit at around the 42-44% win rate. Some individuals were actively bad enough to have low 40s as well.

My stats are a result of my performance. I tried hard to be better last month, and over a large number of matches managed to get >1.0 in WL and KD. Previous months, I did not achieve that because I was not playing well enough. My fault, not anyone else's.

[Snowhawk]

Guys, we all know it.... the matchmaker prefers Always one Team (one Team has the better Players with more average matchscore and k/d-Ratio).

I had a horrible loosing streak, then I made a screenshot as a random sample. Wow... the Winning Team had lots of 90% Players (from https://leaderboard.isengrim.org/ ) while my Team had lots of 80% Players... Conclusion: It's not your fault, matchmaker is trolling you….

[Sjorpha]

So either you had some combination of bad luck and dip in performance OR the matchmaker is somehow biased against specific players.

Which one seems more plausible?
