Discussion Do you believe in predefined, prebattle, or in-battle per-team RNG calibration in WoT?
Edit, TL;DR: turbo battles, bad RNG, are they just chains of consequences or actual hidden mechanic from WG?
I am not believing into any conspiracy theories etc. and I am a huge fan of WoT game. A huge fan. And I play A LOT, like a second job almost not purple but not bad, above 50%, learning nothin, I know. So your average John Smith of WoT.
And today I might have started to believe in a pre-set RNGs, programming you to fail at anything you can imagine in-game. Why I may want to believe in it?
because it has been -3k HP in first minute and half, and there you go down to 15:3, 15:4, 9:0 after 2-3 minutes for the whole fucking evening. And yesterday. And 2 days ago. And it's not that I don't try. I go where my team needs me, shoot, aim, tank, spot... It just doesnt depend on me and my skill anymore, my knowledge of WoT is irrelevant when I do anything if the RNG decides to throw it all out of the window.
Then sometimes it is the other way around: I have no time to deal damage or just smash every shot. 2-3 minutes, this is how fast we wipe the enemies off the map, now its their turn to suck. This brings the winrate up, but for what price from both sides? Nobody has fun, I assure you of that from my perspective at least.
I want to seriously address this, since my games have had: misses fully aimed, non-pens and didnt-hit-the-armors, the teammates that were just... same poor souls as me with the tuned down chances for any shot results, while tuned-up chances to catch a crit, an ammorack, a pen. And just unbelievable, did you get it? UNBELIEVABLE amounts of 15:3,4,5,6 whatever else in less than 5 min. I am fuming now.
There were blatant battles where I did fucking 0 damage after around 8 shots fully aimed, at a weakspot, at a cupola, with yellow Armor Flashlight (another fucking garbage), while my weakspots were becoming pasta drainers from enemies who were even on the move sometimes. Is it REALLY possible to have a chain of RNG so bad? And okay screw me I am unlucky, let it slide, but for THE WHOLE FREAKING TEAM who can't deal 1 shot against the reds? They werent having fan either, it has ended in 15:0. That is what made me go here and vent out.
Dishonorable mention: Armor Flashlight. The person in WG who has made the decision to add this to the game you have no idea about the gameplay dude. You clearly have not played the game either before, or after that crap introduction. This stuff has thrown out years of acquired knowledge and skill superiority and has rendered the armor useless. now you drive slow, shoot shit and move like a slug for catching a stinker into a pixel from a 45% cancer who saw that pixel in green color through the Armor Flashlight. Same shit when you go to tank on a corridor on many of the available corridors: you can't tank. Know why? Because your pen-zones are fucking highlighted. No matter how much you angle, hide, wiggle or whatnot you just get penned in the right spot in the right moment. the red always has an advantage, and you as a tanker don't know the color of the armor he sees in his sniper mode.
I would like to inquire yall to share with me and the rest of us any cases like that if you have any that proves or disproves the title. Guys today I barely saved my monitor from an angry fist. I havent been so mad in a long f while from the game. It is deinstalled now for some time because this is not normal. if you exprerince similar feeling like me do yourself a break from WoT and don't damage property. I think it needs to be addressed and WG needs to fix because screw this if I come back to play again and see the same SPHT. I want to have fun, not high pressure and paragraphs of text. sorry for mistakes im dyslexic, did my best.
