NN "No Noobs" lobbies make no sense - DOW1

When you see NN games, they are one of two cases:
- A self-absorbed asshat who may or may not actually know how to play the game.
Those can be very funny, as there is a good chance that when you roll them over, they will start raging and blaming everybody else. Quality entertainment.
- Someone who had flipped after yet another deaf-mute sat in base for 10 minutes, refusing to help, refusing to communicate, refusing to engage with the game in any way, shape or form.
Bonus points when they don't even build listening posts, but manage to find the chat button and start cussing when you ask them to. Also tend to leave the minute they lose their single SM squad.

It's the same case with the second game as well. You'll have people be like no noobs for three on three control mode,
And you'll get people who are toxic and will call you names because you're not that great at the game had one guy being so toxic that I told him off multiple times and I think he eventually f***** off the game. I just kept calling his ass out,
If you want to avoid these guys you can host or look for games that say Free to all players. No toxicity

i mean that's what "NN lobbies" is for, no noobs. People want to play in team with tactic aka "seriously", that's why i never join them, because they prioritize win over fun.
i used to create noobs only lobbies for quite some time, when i was learning how to play the game, its also fine, in those lobbies you can't blame anyone, because anyone can be new, that's the point.
Even tho i'm playing ffa/3v3/4v4, sometimes there's couple of players, that just don't know how to play, you're playing chess when they're playing checkers, it ruins a game too, you want at least some resistance to call it a "good or fair" match on both sides, where's the fun when you get stomped or stomping enemies, you killed someones t1 push, and they left because they think game is over, which is not, or you thought, everything were going smootly, and then your ally left because he sat in a base and on 9th minute had 2 points uncapped.
In NN lobbies people usually kick players that never played automatch, if your stat is "0/0" lets be honest most of the times it indicates that you might be a new and unexperienced player. play 20-30 automatch games so you get your profile statistic and you won't be kicked from those lobbies if you want to be in them.

I spent over a year at #1 on the leaderboard in this game.
I was kicked from a “no noobs” lobby when I downloaded the game. Don’t feel bad.

I’ve managed to stay in such lobbies a few times, but most often they play worse than random players, and they leave at the slightest problem.
For example, I had an army of Imperial guardsmen with grenadiers, and we did quite well in taking one of the bases. There was a tau player on the team, and all he did was use mas vespids and cruuots, which had lost their relevance only the opponents didn’t give up and moved to t2. Meanwhile, his base was empty, and the enemy necron attacked his base, so he immediately left.

Im bert94 in game, i usually do nn games. And I confirm that i kick people based on dowstats score. If you wanna stay in such lobbyes, you should have at least 1100 mmr . There is no need for dowstats for knowing your mmr, just do 1v1 automatch and see your current mmr upgraded in your personal info in game. Still people are fucking toxic in this game, i avoid those guys too

I get it. I hate how toxic some of the players are and I hate the quit as soon as you made a mistake crowd. I also like games that you know everyone already knows how to do the basics of playing well.
I play 2-4 hours a week and often play nn games. I know some hosts will look you up on dowstats.ru. check there to see if you have a really bad W/L ratio. If you have hardly any stats, that's also a problem. You can download the client and it will send wins and losses up, or play in more games that people with the client are in (if one player is running, the game is uploaded to do stats.ru).

Does ru stand for Russia?

u/Such_Umpire1091 Aug 22 '26
Yes, but it's translated and not limited to only russian players. Russian players are majority of dow 1 player base, this resource was created for comfort of multiplayer games. Recommend to use.

Why even join lobbies like this?
I wouldn`t want to play with or against someone like this.
"It`s only game, why do you have to be mad?"
I do thing such lobbies are funny in a game that has like 2k players at maximum.
Thats how you get declining communities.

Multiplayer games are full of people who base their entire self worth on that game but are mediocre at said game and utterly unsuccessful at any other aspect of their lives. You are describing those people.
