To clarify further, I'm genuinely glad that Update 5.5 addressed the issues with low-tier gameplay. Players with over 5,000 battles have no reason to be in Tier 3 matches-it’s unfair and discouraging for newer players. If your favorite seal-clubbing tank got nerfed, perhaps it's time to explore better tanks in Tiers 7 or 10 and discover the deeper enjoyment this game has to offer. Seal-clubbing is one of the most problematic aspects of Blitz. It not only diminishes the experience for newcomers but also harms the game's growth. We’ve seen the effects of this on WoT PC, where overpowered Tier 3 tanks have significantly contributed to a declining player base by ruining the grind for new players. Let’s focus on building a healthier community and making Blitz more enjoyable for everyone. Join my Discord discord.gg/cJEjSy4Xv9
yo droodles can u make a video where u will play like noob 40%, avg 50%,and good 60% player. after u play few hundred games like a 40% 50% and 60% do a teir list on what tier 10 is the best for noobs(40%) avg player(50%) good(60%) for example: im a 50% who does 2k above every game but i still do very trash in batchat 25 and vickers light but i do really good in t57 heavy and wz 113. For 40% people using batchat is like playing with hell, but for above 60% like u(droodles) batchat is very great. IF U DO WHAT I SAID RN I WILL LIKE U"RE EVERY VIDEO I WATCH PROMISE.
as a 4,2K battle player, i enjoy playing the lower tiers. i am not skilled enough to 'sealclub' or whatever that means. i enjoy playing my T-127 and T-15. sometimes i win, sometimes i lose.
@mohammedalifayazdil dude you clearly dont watch his videos because he covers literally every t10 and how good and noon friendly it is. He's also made videos covering the best tanks and the worst.
Why I think 5.5 was the worst was due to the fact that what I considered “fun” low tier tanks where taken out of the tech tree. The low tier was so diverse and some cool looking tanks. But now, most of them are collector tanks and you barely see them anymore.
I miss the OLD old versions. T82, hetzer, Matilda. What a time to play blitz. T29 hull down and being invincible, facing t9 at t7, facing t10 at t8. It was a different game lol
you know you can still facing tier 10 when playing tier 8, but you need to be on platoon cross tier...basically you use T8 and your friend using T9 the game matchmaking will be 50/50 you facing tier 10
Another reason: crates. The other day there was some player with 132 battles driving an xm66f. He died in a minute did 350dmg and had an avg of 200 dmg I that tank… he was 39%. The problem with crates is that it can give players still at like tier 3 a tier 10 then they play it and do atrocious in battle
Yeah i agree but gambling is gambling i don't think someone should be not allowed from it whilst on the other hand WG needs money, truth is, i'm wondering how illegal wotb gambling is, think about it, a kid can just grab a credit card and start gambling with no verification whatsoever.
FINALLY somebody shames those 50k battles 40% wr accounts, they are free to be bad but usually those are the players typing "my team sucks" as soons as they yolo the exact same spot over and over. It's the same deal whenever I see 70k battles account driving a hulldown tank into flat ground, those guys are the reason high tier sucks.
Literally, they always blame teammates while they are trying to su1c1de as soon as they are engaging to the game. Like are they expected the team will yolo like him?
Appreciate the video mate 🙂. Its great when friends can have differing opinions on different topics relating to the game. As I was saying in my video, my main issue with update 5.5 was that we lost so many fun low tier tanks. But yea I do agree with the points you made regarding the overpowered tanks (we seal clubbers loved them 😂). As for the players that speed research to tier x, yes it's quite an issue on APAC, especially BUT, it means for us veteran players, we can FINALLY get to teir x a lot faster. The mm points are valid indeed i will def agree with that. Anyways Droods, glad to hear your perspectives on Update 5.5 🙌.
Droodles obviously didn't watch your video properly. It was quite plain that your main complaint was the loss of fun tanks and the 'streamlining' of lower tiers. How do experienced pplayers ever get to play low tier tanks these days anyway? I have tried it and I get left in the queue for hours, yes hours and still don't get a game. I sometime think Droodles just likes the sound of his own voice...
I don't blame the 5.5 update for the state of the game I'm just mad that they were removed in the first place. Low tier taught me a lot about the game, and yes I know that howitzers were unfair I've been on both sides of it, but it also forced me to adapt and approach situations different based on what I was facing. I loved every bit of low tier and it felt so unique in its own way. Also mad that I didn't have enough time to get the Jumbo Sherman considering I always thought it was cool. If it's come back a few times since then I was either not lucky enough to get it or was not currently invested in blitz at that time .
I miss 5.5 because i really enjoyed those low tier tanks... its like they had some sort of emotional value. I think they coudve done some balancing without removing all of them
I can see the argument he made. Being a 40% wr at 100k battles means that you like the game but you don't want to know how it really works? You should at least pick up some knowledge. You can learn to drive a car in 60 hours for real.
@@Tiirmaa1989 i totally understand that. i only made that comment because being a pilot is a much more dangerous and serious thing to do than to learn how to play wotblitz
Exactly 💀 an most players don't care about win rate. i know I didn't, I only started caring, tbh once I followed doodles. Also just want my percentage to turn green 😅😂
WG has made it so that spoiled little rich kids can buy their way to tier 10 in a matter of days (if not hours) There should be minimum requirements before you are ALLOWED to go above tier 7 and that should include a minimum number of games and at LEAST a 50% win rate. I recently got lumbered with one waste of space who had played a handful of games and had a 31% win rate in a tier 10 battle. That is a WASTE of everyone's time.
Update 5.5 might not be the worse update, but its a huge factor in why the game is so much worse, not only they remove the variety/fun in low tier, it also makes the grinding up to high tier tech tree so much easier In results, low tier is now abandoned, its only active when WG gave a low tier tank to everyone, but that will only last for like less than a day About noob matchmaking, yes, there is a noob matchmaking in low tier, once you reach tier 7-10, even having less than 5500 games, you'll mostly match with the normal matchmaking, cuz there isn't always enough player for noob mathcmaking And those players with more than 50k battles and having less than 1k, even 500 average damage, I believe those are runs by bots or shared by multiple players
There are enough players for noob MM and no griding lines was not affected by low tier vehicles being removed, if you really think a tier 4 being removed from the game was going to stop bad players from reaching T10 faster idk what to say
Yo btw droodles I had encountered a teammate who had 310k games and decent wr, I did like 5k absolutely carried the team with my toonmate and he downvoted me. Like wth 310k games, holy bad bruh. And I thought I didn’t go outside lol
no one has good games 100% of the time, what if the dude is sick or something? what if he was lagging really bad? He down voted you, why, did you say something negative to him like you are now? We don't know. I do know this is the most toxic game community I've ever played in. If someone is talking down to me I'm likely to just play worse and blame that person who won't stop typing nonsense all game as if winning the game is the most important thing in your life. You're playing a mobile game barely anyone knows about, not some high end PC game.
Just because someone has super low win rate doesn't always mean that they suck, they were bad in one point in time. If they want, they can improve and get their skill and be better like others regardless of winrate.
Some people never learn. WR is meaningless. Droodles, you have so many accounts, because you know WR is meaningless...unless, you start all over. For example, ttman777 NA 196,681 battles, 49.14% WR a.k.a. Droodles Blitz. At most, you are an average player who has learned how to farm exceptionally well, but, have failed miserably at team performance. Your current WR represents bloated values by manipulation of accounts and fails to correctly represent your value as a team performance player. WG, ATTENTION, time to adjust merits towards team centered performance and team related skillsets.
Droodles doesn't understand the real reason why wg removed the fun/over powered/troll loww tier tanks. Those tanks were in the tech tree meaning they were free that means no money for wg. A new player wants to know what the most fun thin about the game is and then conclude if it is worth continuing playing the game, but because the most fun tanks are now on high tier which cost more xp, silver and gold(if you buy premium tanks or spend gold to finish tech tree grind faster) that means the player had to spend more time and those inpatient ones would buy gold which is money for wg. Wg: You want have fun? Pay!
The game just became boring as hell. No more howtizers at low levers. No more absolute armor like pz 2 j or hetzer. Every vehicle MUST have a weakspot at front. No more oneshots for kv 2. More hp made people less cautios. No more machineguns like T7 car that go brrrr. All low tier vehicles are essentially summed up in 2-4 cathegories. You do not have original stuff like bt 7 art, or T18.
Idk those tanks made low tier UNfun because of how unbalanced and overpowered some tanks were. Also wtf u yapping about kv 2 still one shots. A game doesn’t need overpowered things to make it fun. Overpowered tanks will only make u have fun but make everyone else suffer and have miserable games we want balanced tanks not overpowered ones and for once wg is doing that. If u need over powered tanks to have “fun” then u probably have just lost interest in the game. Like I can drive a cs 63 and still have fun
It undoubtedly hurt the viability of of tiers 1-4. New lines now start at 6-8 so you lose out on the more forgiving tiers that encouraged new play styles. No one (or most) wont want to stick around in low tiers so the bad players are basicsply forced into 6-8. Theres a reason 1-4 is a ghost land. I dont see how no one playing those tiers is a gokd thing. Buying into tier x is not equivalent fast research to tier X. I guarantee you the average player will not spend $100 on 1 tank. Tier X is far less competitive/balanced than it was 10 years ago. Checked my last match. 4 enemies had less than 2k battles. I have 15k. None of them where in divisions. 8pm CST. (59.82% winrate btw) 400 hours on a phone will almost certainly perform poorly compared to us on PC and Ipad. They are likely going to continue to be "bad" either way. I absolutely agree that removing derp guns makes things more even but it also encourages people to just win via HP or DPM because everyone does 60 damage at a time and can easily just pen each other (for example). i think a good middle ground would have been better. Nerf the Keni. I can't disagree with your assessment of game modes. I agree that the game has gone downhill a bit. Gambling, FOMO, balance issues, and other issues were far worse than 5.5 but i dont think 5.5 helped any.
Bad (new) players play higher tiers because 1-7 is just bots, maybe half at tier 7. It takes a LONG time before bots start getting phased out of games. The transition of playing against bots to real players isn't seemless because you learn nothing and it's frustrating when your bot "teammates" are intentionally missing their target and the other team has bots that are actually doing damage. I assume the bots are coded to decide before the game starts whether they will be effective or not. The only way to actually practice the game against real players is tier 8-10. So wondering why new players play at higher tiers, it's so obvious. I've heard people say there's no bots at T7, this is not true at all.
@otallono All good points. I can't comment on the bots as I never played with them, and I think I've made it too far for them to be in my matches. WG bots, that is. I do have my suspicions about some...
Players with sub 5k can get into non noob MM matches by platooning with someone who’s not in it. I agree with your comment on game modes. The XP gain from them is obscene. Especially as back in the early days of blitz x3, x4, x5 or hell even x10 did not exist. I remember when they first added the stackable 5x booster for the number of vehicles you had in your garage of that tier, back when I still had lines to grind - I went from a tier 8 centurion to the 4202 in like 15 games or so, and this was in random battles. It’s utterly ridiculous how quick you can get up to tier 10 now with game modes, boosters and xX certificates.
tbh a player's first 500 battles already briefly determine their future, because from the start, where ppl get the easiest games, yet they still only achieve 50%, they're're probably not gonna get better, becuase the game gets "harder" as they play more battles. i'd say on average 500battles to 5000 battles the average player who does not watch atleast 1channel similar to droodles will drop 10% winrate, so if they start with 60% they;d drop to 50%.
It's all bots from t1-7 for way longer than 500 battles, they gradually get phase out over time but it sucks so you have to play at t8-10. You can't learn by playing against bots. I fail to understand why people don't see this as the main issue. Even if you know how to play and you're playing against half a team of bots, you're not going to play the same way.
@@otallono not all bots, bots gradually decrease over 1000 battles, where you should barely see them anymore, rarely you might meet 1-2 if there isnt enough players. But also, if you continue to do bad wg will increase the bots aswell. And yes what is a problem, is when they decide to play t8-t10, they wont get bots and now they complain. but they forget that they get noob mm which is what trains them for playing against player. playing against bots is only suppose to allow people to get used to the controls. if they want some bots, but also want to learn to play against players, they should be staying at tier7 and below. tier7/6 is a fun tier i dont realyl see why people are so desperate in moving up the line.
Here is the other BS part of the equation. A player with just 42 games driving a Type 62, has 6 masteries a 92.86% win rate,max damage of 3,242 and just slaughtered a team I was on. It was easy to tell this was a highly experienced player. Obviously a seal clubber with nothing better to do...
battle counts along with the winrate is most likely irrelevant due to the fact that alot of players including myself only plays in modes and that's it. I didn't play regular in ages and I don't plan to do so.
The thing that I don't understand is WHY players want to jump up to higher tiers before they are ready. Basically, it seems that a lot of people don't care about anyone except themselves, which is disappointing. I took 2 years for me to work my way up to playing tier X. And I took each step up to a higher tier with some trepidation because, dang, I don't want to be the jerk that doesn't know what he's doing and ruins my team's game. But clearly there are a lot of players who don't really care about that and just want to drive a tier X tank and every 10 or 20 games get lucky and have a good game.
I understand what Droodles is saying, but at the same time, why completely removing all those tanks from the game? Couldn't WG just nerf those and let them remain in the tech tree? And even if they couldn't nerf them, who cares??? Its mainly tier 3/4, take T-82 and Hetzer for example, after 10 battles at most just like Droodles said, now nobody remains at tier 3 getting banged by an Hetzer or the T-82. And even if they did remain for hundreds or even thousands of games at tier 3 (I saw people like this and I'm sure Droodles saw them too) getting clapped each game at low tiers, I couldn't care less, maybe try getting good, buying higher tiers and if that individual still fails to survive he could still buy that so called "low tier OP tank" thats been banging him for the previous 10 fucking thousand games or more. I don't even wanna start talking about new tank restoration prices, because double is too much, maybe a 125% of what the tank was sold for, might be good enough because the player still needs to pay more than what he gained from selling the tank and the price to restore isn't like buying ONLY the tank as new (which you can't because they often come in boundles that higher the prices) and for people who have a new account like myself who want to get old low tiers and WG added trash sandbox containers and battle passes that have the same 4 LOW tier tanks. How is someone new to the game supposed to get a KV-13 at tier 6 or even know what that is because probably not even Droodles himself thinks anymore about that tank. I mainly play tier 10 at more than 10K battles in my account but sometimes I want to play low tiers have fun and dgaf about stats, is that supposed to be bad? No, you know why? Because of what I wrote just above and sealclubbing is for 40%ers because anvone who knows decently well the game isn't gonna say "OMG 75% wr at, ~lemme check~,... TIER 3!!!" Oh and IMHO I think buying/gambling for high tiers should be removed for people who don't have at least researched and played that very tier.
I agree with almost everything but I still think that 5.5 was terrible because it depends on how you see the game: it was chosen to concentrate players in tiers 7-10 and make 1-5 just an apprenticeship, opening the gap between one tier and the next so much that it became unpleasant to play... before instead there were beautiful historical tanks at the low tiers and you simply chose where to play according to taste: you were almost not forced to level up... strong or mediocre tanks were there as there are now at the high tiers, it's not that, it's that now you only play post-ww2 or fantasy tanks concentrated in half the tiers, before you played pre-war or ww2 and you chose between 7-8 tiers
People fail to realize that learning the game, try harding and playing a lot does not guarantee that someone is going to ever be better than 40%. If you don't have the skill set you will always be limited to some extent. You can try to reach your top potential but that might still be somewhat bad. WOT can be very much like Chess. Ever notice that not everyone will be good at chess even joining a club and having a coach and years of practice and here comes some 12 year old who beats them in 5 minutes who just learned the game.
*sighs* games are about having fun not to be competitive in... for me personallh WR doesn't matter at all, all that matters is having fun win or lose idc People who want to play competitive ugh... ranked exists...? Thats all im gonna say
I will agree that update 5.5 was one of the worst update ever in wot blitz history. Kv13, dw2,luchus etc good tanks were removed and those tanks that were left in tech tree were nerfed so badly like hetzer, leopard etc now i don't even like playing lower tiers anymore.
I'll tell ya what shits me, f ,ing late starts if you play on Nintendo switch like i do , every update, you never know how bad the late starts are going to be. usually i can only play rating games to start on time, but after the last update, i even start late in rating's games now, and nothing gets fixed or talked about for switch users . Last upload didn't even work in the switch for a week, until they did something, i lost prizes and credits as i had bought a party pass and couldn't play for a week, i sent them a ticket to do something about compensation and they don't even reply , come on droodles say something about this for switch players apart from get a computer, that seems to be most people's response, but i like playing on the big screen tv and game controller, it's what I'm use to.
Honestly I’m not against having more xp boosters from crates, I feel pretty annoyed when I have to grind another tech tree for so damn long. But yes, the downside is that the player base receives less training in the game. But even then I say it’s not hard to pick up on it. I had 3600 battles at 66% WR, just know your positioning, don’t overcommit, and you are ok.
I agree, it’s the boosters. XP boosters should be rare, and have lower multipliers. I personally like to use free xp to grab the top modules, then grind the xp for the next tank. With 5x and 10x boosters, I can power right through the tier 9.
You know why i am tired if this they are removing the fun factor from the game instead of adding unreal engine first fix the damn servers its so annoying to get bad ping always
As you rightly point out, updates may only be a small part of the problem. The main problem remains in the average player's extreme lack of ability and desire to play at least sufficiently.
It's a mobile game with a small player base, not like Halo or Cod or something. And as I commented before, there are bots from t1-7 for a long time and you can't learn by playing against bots, very poorly coded ones at that. Removing the bots will be a massive difference.
Honestly i didnt like the update 5.5 in when they removed some tier 6 like the t150 or the pz III a droodles do you really think the t150 was busted back in the day in my opinion i dont think so, the kv2 should be removed from the game same for the kv1s those vehicles shouldn't be in the game they should be replaced by the t150 because the kv2 and the kv1s are biggest reason why tier 5 suck abd the m7 of tier 4 due to the fact that wg turn it into a tier 4 now the m7 is completely busted because is super fast and it hits really hard the m7 should be a tier 5 not a tier 4, but wg doesn't care enough about us because they removed the t150 from the game, the kv13 and the PZ III A and they turned the m7 into a tier 4 which made very op and they keep changing the meta of tier 10 by rebalancing the tier over and over and destroying higher tiers nowadays i dont play pubs in tier 10 all that much because is super toxic i always want to try and rise up my stats but every time i try always got rewarded with trash
You can get noob players in platoon. I’ve had a game were a 40k player platooned with a player with only 500 games. It’s the high end boosters that allow them to grind to quickly
Maybe it would be a good idea to remove tank xp from "fun modes" (but keep credits and crew xp in). Also they should finally add all the fun modes to custom matches, but I guess they're scared that it'll hurt normal matchmaking too much.
I get you're point Droodles and I somewhat agree with you. However, before 5.5 when you grinded a line in a tech tree you had similar playstyle tanks from the begining. Just like how you showed the Vk line. After the update they removed thoes tanks making the current tech trees somewhat less sensible. Take the German line for example: to grind the Vk 36.01 you have to play with fast moving mediums. Then when you unlock it you get a slow moving heavy with a lot of armour. It's a complete different playstyle which could confuse new players as they try to play it similar to what they used to with the tanks before that. Also, the fact that WG removed premium ammo and HE from lower tiers just makes no sense. New players won't learn how HE or pramo works only when they get to tier 5 or above. Speaking from personal experience. I started playing before 5.5 and for me the variety of low tier DID help to learn the game.
Most of the AFK players on my team are in the 60% range so stats don’t mean diddly anymore… furthermore yeah lately it’s an absolutely miserable experience to play. I find myself playing Gran Turismo seven far more than I play blitz
For me the game lost it’s way when they turned all my premium thanks to collectors tanks I only bought premium tanks because they were never going to be touched with any nerfs or buffs Now I feel I’ve just been robbed. wasted my money and my time in this game they lost the confidence of the player base
Hey got a problem with logging tanks from steam, I can’t login through facebook but hovering over where it was it when trying to login shows where u can type but u can’t interact as it just shows nothing at all but the background screen… I’m lost at what to do
Fairly straightforward to fix. Remove boosters (or make them less common or effective) and stop giving combat/crew/free XP for ratings and fun mode battles. You get rating points in ratings anyway, and make fun modes just for, erm, fun. Are you certain the 5k games ‘noob buffer’ has been around since day 1? I thought that was introduced much later
I’m glad they changed low tiers for better but I’m also sad you can’t get the low tier tank anymore either. Now of course that would be another way to introduce paying for OP vehicles but what if the vehicles just got nerfed?
With game modes and X5-X10 bundles in the store i managed to grind all tech trees under 7k regular battles in like couple of months :) With X3-X4-X5-X10 + boosters you will be shocked how much xp you can gain in game modes like boss mode and uprising :)
Your assesement that match making under around 5500 games means you only play with players in the same boat is ABSOLUTELY WRONG. I runmultiple accounts, some > 5k some < 5k and in the sub 5k ones I regularly see 30k and above players appearing. Maybe it holds true above a given number of games but not sub 5k.
I am tired of this BS about experienced players not being put up against noobs. IT IS A LIE! 3 minutes ago I played one of my new accounts with 446 games. In the opposing team there was a player with 18,259 and 52.76% win rate. THAT IS AN EXPEIENCED PLAYER!!!! This is NOT a one off thing, it happens all the time.
I agree with some of your points, but what I'm seeing now is new players in every game now I'm in, is that players are playing 1 or 2 games getting 100% wr in the tanks. Then they move up a tier doing the same untill they reach tier 10. For example I'm getting players in tier 10 with less than a 1000 some with even less games at 60%-70%wr. That's what has screwed the game. I'm only a casual player, with 25k battles and wr of 51.41% WR and I can not increase my Wr, in fact it's in decline, I can't carry the team as they are all dead under 1 to 2 minutes because of these players. I think wg need to set the the tiers where you need a certain amount of battles regardless of wr. Ie minimum battles need to be played for example, you would need a minimum of say 8 to 10k battles to play in tier 8, then maybe 15k battles to play in tier 9 and so on.
i wanna say that blitz might be in a bad state due to tank ratings, players angry about the restoration prices, etc. i dont agree with the last one because if you sold exclusive vehicles b4 the update it wouldnt double it unless u bought it and sold it again. so that would kinda be the players problem, not wotb.
I just had a match in an AMX 30 B and ammo racked a maus that lumbered it's way over the ridge by the center hill in overlord by were there are 2 houses, i was surprised and checked the player and had only 600+ matches with an average of 600dmg and with the vk 90.01P It's most played by around 350 matches, i think was more to luck i ammo racked it but that yolo march could have worked, that made me call it a night as i managed to hold the line in the amx 30b when it had no business doing so
Here is another CLASSIC BS match up. From a game I just played there were players with the following stats: 10898/63.66, 15368/50.75, 11936/56.42, 31069/52.98, 10276/59.23, 16604/51.77, 50119/54.91, 36081,53.26 where figure 1 is games played and figure 2 is win rate. In this game was a player with 118 games and another with 1302. So noobs are NEVER put in with expereinced players? Droodles you are either knowingly lying or you have no idea what you are talking about.
I rly dont get why someone’s win rate decide if they r good or not. also people who play the game once a week for 15 battels like me who have had their account for 10years now (i was 9 when I started playing blitz) ofc im gonna have a 45% account i just dont give af. Also team matchmaking decides a good part of once winrate
As a player that stopped playing years ago and still stuck at 55% WR the 400 hours play time that you can probably be a licensed pilot comment hurt my soul. Well tbh skill issue on my part lol
Droodles this 500 games matching is true in Europe server I have played over 120k, Europe server merged with Russian server most games me and my platoon play we see people less than 500 sometimes even players with 10 games in a prem tank I have endless screenshots of this and also wrote endless tickets. The game is that bad in the Euro server most of my alliance have now quit within this last few months
In my opinion, your maths aren’t good. Because you are averaging the battles you played at the beginning, when you are learning the ropes and you suck, with the last battles, when you perhaps are achieving a 60-65% because you have seen enough Droodles videos and you are now an experienced commander. Unless I am wrong in the way I believe WTB calculates your marksmanship. I have achieved the upper part of gold tier but I have a percentage of 48%. How is this possible?
Ok so... I'm not a good or experienced player by any means. I have around 2k-4k battles scattered over multiple accounts. On most of them i have between 55-60% win rate and a kd between 1,5-2,5. But sometimes i wonder, why are my mates either absolute gamers and yodel the enemies before i can even get to the battlefield, or they turn into apes and drive into the other team's TD's one by one in a straight line. They also have a memory like a fly that almost got slapped by you 3 secs ago. I was playing my Concept 1B, right beside me were two other very powerful hull-down heavies, i don't remember which ones, could be also been 1B's. Our team was loosing spectacularly, all the 2nd and 3rd line support vehicles and snipers ran into 3 well coordinated heavies. So we lost like 50% of our team in the first few minutes, but we controlled more area. We 3 hull down heavies held the cap, while some TD's locked down the flanks. Literally nothing the enemies could do except running into the meat grinder hoping they could maybe reset the cap. One of the heavies gets a bit too greedy, drives out too much and catches a slap by some TD. I signaled him to come back down, but what are BOTH of the heavies doing? Thats right, leaving their hull down positions and running into enemies that weren't even all spotted. Died in a few seconds. Why would you leave such a position? It was literally a shooting range, shoot them, but they can't shoot you. Ultimately we won because of a few smart lights and mediums pulled off an incredible flank. After the match i looked into the stats of the 2 heavies. 5k+ battles, highest ever damage like 1,5k, 25% win rate. How do you even manage to do that.
Not buying the newb MM bs Droodie. There are really good players who are casuals that are constantly getting dumped in with newb players and piss poor teams and have a HUGE problem expanding their damage percentages and win rates on account of it. Wargaming has a decided interest in keeping a certain demographic of player base who can play well, has the pockets to buy higher tier vehicles AND run them well, BUT constantly gets held into lower tier teams because they don't live in Blitz, right where they are so they can keep selling them sh**. And when you speak of low tier vehicles that are OP?? Wtf has Wargaming NOT nerfed vehicles like the KV2 that can and often do one-shot vehicles that have better guns, armor, or maneuverability? To say that, Wargaming is on the ball and doing great work with 5.5? And that nothing is wrong? Is just being a shill and a pimp for Wargaming. 5.5 has issues, and Blitz itself as a whole has long standing issues that have NEVER been addressed and very much need to be.
Wargaming gives new players tier 10 for free tbh.....coz when I started playing in my new account like my luck got really crazy and got Concept 1B, my other friends also got some tier 9 and 10s. And these are the players who play in tier 10 and lose the game. Like my question is why would you give a tier 10 to a new player. And in my other account where I played like 3k battles I just don't get any tier 10s or 9s. It's actually frustrating. I got FV4005, E50M, M-VI-YOH, AMX 50 120.
Ive played now for 3 months, grind some tier 10 tanks to only find that the worse players are at tier 10 lol. win or lose I get more competitive and fun matchs at tier 8. Facts. The current state of tier 10 is laughable, i get heavy tank players at tier 10 sitting in TD bushs back near spawn hahaha. With progression now being too easy, they should have an additional REGULAR mode(Encounter/Supremacy/Experienced) where only players with 5k+ battles can enter.
Sorry, Droodles - yes, I played for years before 5.5 - and, yes, the game is worse since then. Sure, a person could spend ONE HUNDRED dollars to get a tier 10 back then - but 99% of people ground and learned. So, less tanks, worse teams, no positives. Update 5.5 was the WORST UPDATE EVER.
But i got lucky today. Spent around 10k gold on mystery containers. Opened around 60 of lvl 1 containers, few lvl 2s and 1 lvl 3. Got 4 certificates from which 2 t8 which i already had so used that gold for more containers. 1 t6 and finally from the 4th certificate i got Lorraine 50t😂. Practically spending that much gold not worth it but as i got one rarest tank, so im happy. Its a decent tank.
It is like the debate of CV rework is worse than the RTS CV. Which still have hot debate till this day. Blitz 5.5 is exactly the same hot debate. Was I think it is a bad update? Well, yes, really making new players grind shit faster for me it is always a bad thing. Or change the sudden techtree into another one always annoys me and literally pisses me off when I was trying to grind T29 back in my days where I was 1000XP away to get T29 as Jumbo. I’ll never forgive WeeGee on that. Have to make me grind Garbage T1 and M6 and making me frustrated and the first time ever to not enjoy the grind. (this is way before my E50 journey grind). But I do had to admit. 5.5 is shit regardless you look at it. This is the same update where Kv1 get nerf to the ground. DW removed from the game and VK36 is the only German first Heavies where the grind line doesn’t make any sense anymore. WG try to compensate by making PzIV to have 80mm frontal armor but tbh. They should have never touch German Heavy line and leave it as it is. Matilda is a Tier IV heavy and still very broken till this day. Duck tank is removed. And the worst crime of them all. Flak Toaster. Which still scratched my head on why it is removed hence tree splits should be happen at Tier V onwards. A lot of stuff here doesn’t make much sense and consistency when WG make the split like Jumbo removed Jumbo should stay as a T6 techtree along with E8. Japanese LTs should be staying hence Ke-Ho isn’t even a Seal Clubbing tank and WG can make JP Lts to continue the line instead of making…. That abomination of a Heavy Tank…. I don’t think no body is complain about JP LTs and add them back will just making them funny to be seen in the game. Maybe add a funny mechanics like “Banzai Charge” where ramming as Jp LTs will do triple the damage of its weight.
Not that . If the other players has over 8000 games . Well ok. Some them are better than some others with same amount games played. Like i been playing guitar since 12 years old and im 50. And im NOT AS GOOD AS SOME BEEN PLAYING FOR EVEN JUST TEN YEARS
To clarify further, I'm genuinely glad that Update 5.5 addressed the issues with low-tier gameplay. Players with over 5,000 battles have no reason to be in Tier 3 matches-it’s unfair and discouraging for newer players. If your favorite seal-clubbing tank got nerfed, perhaps it's time to explore better tanks in Tiers 7 or 10 and discover the deeper enjoyment this game has to offer.
Seal-clubbing is one of the most problematic aspects of Blitz. It not only diminishes the experience for newcomers but also harms the game's growth. We’ve seen the effects of this on WoT PC, where overpowered Tier 3 tanks have significantly contributed to a declining player base by ruining the grind for new players. Let’s focus on building a healthier community and making Blitz more enjoyable for everyone.

yo droodles can u make a video where u will play like noob 40%, avg 50%,and good 60% player. after u play few hundred games like a 40% 50% and 60% do a teir list on what tier 10 is the best for noobs(40%) avg player(50%) good(60%) for example: im a 50% who does 2k above every game but i still do very trash in batchat 25 and vickers light but i do really good in t57 heavy and wz 113. For 40% people using batchat is like playing with hell, but for above 60% like u(droodles) batchat is very great. IF U DO WHAT I SAID RN I WILL LIKE U"RE EVERY VIDEO I WATCH PROMISE.
I agree with your points but you missed one point. 5.5 killed lower tier battles. Anything sub 5 is dead and tier 6 is on its way out as well.
as a 4,2K battle player, i enjoy playing the lower tiers. i am not skilled enough to 'sealclub' or whatever that means. i enjoy playing my T-127 and T-15. sometimes i win, sometimes i lose.
Because of that .. Blitz so irritating now days🤬🤬
@mohammedalifayazdil dude you clearly dont watch his videos because he covers literally every t10 and how good and noon friendly it is. He's also made videos covering the best tanks and the worst.
Why I think 5.5 was the worst was due to the fact that what I considered “fun” low tier tanks where taken out of the tech tree. The low tier was so diverse and some cool looking tanks. But now, most of them are collector tanks and you barely see them anymore.
WoT VK 28.01 mit 10,5cm be like
Even when you get them you can't play them because you are put in the queue and left there to die!
Fun tanks that are broken at best, op at worst
The worst update is yet to come 😎
😎😎👊😤
Ho no 😶😦
BEHOLD
THE UNREAL ENGINE
@@FBIAGENT27-69 is it even real
Every update is the worst update because WG just make the game worse and worse every time.
I miss the OLD old versions. T82, hetzer, Matilda. What a time to play blitz. T29 hull down and being invincible, facing t9 at t7, facing t10 at t8. It was a different game lol
you know you can still facing tier 10 when playing tier 8, but you need to be on platoon cross tier...basically you use T8 and your friend using T9 the game matchmaking will be 50/50 you facing tier 10
@@KerryFoxxo i think he knows that
Damn. Nostalgia hit me hard when u said Matilda.. 😢
I had the most amount of masters on T29 and the most 4 Kills on Herzer. Brings me back..
The old T82 was fun
Another reason: crates. The other day there was some player with 132 battles driving an xm66f. He died in a minute did 350dmg and had an avg of 200 dmg I that tank… he was 39%. The problem with crates is that it can give players still at like tier 3 a tier 10 then they play it and do atrocious in battle
Yeah i agree but gambling is gambling i don't think someone should be not allowed from it whilst on the other hand WG needs money, truth is, i'm wondering how illegal wotb gambling is, think about it, a kid can just grab a credit card and start gambling with no verification whatsoever.
@ wg doesn’t NEED money there very rich. But I think there should a limit on the max tier tank u can get or smth like tier 7
FINALLY somebody shames those 50k battles 40% wr accounts, they are free to be bad but usually those are the players typing "my team sucks" as soons as they yolo the exact same spot over and over. It's the same deal whenever I see 70k battles account driving a hulldown tank into flat ground, those guys are the reason high tier sucks.
I agree with this 100%. Yes my stats are not incredible, but I NEVER say that ever.
Literally, they always blame teammates while they are trying to su1c1de as soon as they are engaging to the game. Like are they expected the team will yolo like him?
Appreciate the video mate 🙂. Its great when friends can have differing opinions on different topics relating to the game. As I was saying in my video, my main issue with update 5.5 was that we lost so many fun low tier tanks. But yea I do agree with the points you made regarding the overpowered tanks (we seal clubbers loved them 😂). As for the players that speed research to tier x, yes it's quite an issue on APAC, especially BUT, it means for us veteran players, we can FINALLY get to teir x a lot faster. The mm points are valid indeed i will def agree with that. Anyways Droods, glad to hear your perspectives on Update 5.5 🙌.
Droodles obviously didn't watch your video properly. It was quite plain that your main complaint was the loss of fun tanks and the 'streamlining' of lower tiers. How do experienced pplayers ever get to play low tier tanks these days anyway? I have tried it and I get left in the queue for hours, yes hours and still don't get a game. I sometime think Droodles just likes the sound of his own voice...
Unnecessary video really
Why does WG take away maps and tanks? It is a huge PAIN IN THE BUM!
I don't blame the 5.5 update for the state of the game I'm just mad that they were removed in the first place. Low tier taught me a lot about the game, and yes I know that howitzers were unfair I've been on both sides of it, but it also forced me to adapt and approach situations different based on what I was facing. I loved every bit of low tier and it felt so unique in its own way. Also mad that I didn't have enough time to get the Jumbo Sherman considering I always thought it was cool. If it's come back a few times since then I was either not lucky enough to get it or was not currently invested in blitz at that time .
I miss 5.5 because i really enjoyed those low tier tanks... its like they had some sort of emotional value. I think they coudve done some balancing without removing all of them
droodles comparing players learning the game to getting a pilot license is crazy💀
I can see the argument he made. Being a 40% wr at 100k battles means that you like the game but you don't want to know how it really works? You should at least pick up some knowledge. You can learn to drive a car in 60 hours for real.
@@Tiirmaa1989 i totally understand that. i only made that comment because being a pilot is a much more dangerous and serious thing to do than to learn how to play wotblitz
You can go 3k dmg but still lose because of your teammates. It's not a solo game.@@Tiirmaa1989
Exactly 💀 an most players don't care about win rate. i know I didn't, I only started caring, tbh once I followed doodles. Also just want my percentage to turn green 😅😂
@@Lord_McF4rtI only enjoy the loose if I deal like 6k. Every other time win=fun
WG has made it so that spoiled little rich kids can buy their way to tier 10 in a matter of days (if not hours) There should be minimum requirements before you are ALLOWED to go above tier 7 and that should include a minimum number of games and at LEAST a 50% win rate. I recently got lumbered with one waste of space who had played a handful of games and had a 31% win rate in a tier 10 battle. That is a WASTE of everyone's time.
Update 5.5 might not be the worse update, but its a huge factor in why the game is so much worse, not only they remove the variety/fun in low tier, it also makes the grinding up to high tier tech tree so much easier
In results, low tier is now abandoned, its only active when WG gave a low tier tank to everyone, but that will only last for like less than a day
About noob matchmaking, yes, there is a noob matchmaking in low tier, once you reach tier 7-10, even having less than 5500 games, you'll mostly match with the normal matchmaking, cuz there isn't always enough player for noob mathcmaking
And those players with more than 50k battles and having less than 1k, even 500 average damage, I believe those are runs by bots or shared by multiple players
There are enough players for noob MM and no griding lines was not affected by low tier vehicles being removed, if you really think a tier 4 being removed from the game was going to stop bad players from reaching T10 faster idk what to say
Less grind is bad... Listen to yourself
Aww, when i saw those containers i wanted you to open all of them :(
Yo btw droodles I had encountered a teammate who had 310k games and decent wr, I did like 5k absolutely carried the team with my toonmate and he downvoted me. Like wth 310k games, holy bad bruh. And I thought I didn’t go outside lol
no one has good games 100% of the time, what if the dude is sick or something? what if he was lagging really bad? He down voted you, why, did you say something negative to him like you are now? We don't know. I do know this is the most toxic game community I've ever played in. If someone is talking down to me I'm likely to just play worse and blame that person who won't stop typing nonsense all game as if winning the game is the most important thing in your life. You're playing a mobile game barely anyone knows about, not some high end PC game.
Just because someone has super low win rate doesn't always mean that they suck, they were bad in one point in time. If they want, they can improve and get their skill and be better like others regardless of winrate.
Some people never learn. WR is meaningless. Droodles, you have so many accounts, because you know WR is meaningless...unless, you start all over. For example, ttman777 NA 196,681 battles, 49.14% WR a.k.a. Droodles Blitz. At most, you are an average player who has learned how to farm exceptionally well, but, have failed miserably at team performance. Your current WR represents bloated values by manipulation of accounts and fails to correctly represent your value as a team performance player. WG, ATTENTION, time to adjust merits towards team centered performance and team related skillsets.
Droodles doesn't understand the real reason why wg removed the fun/over powered/troll loww tier tanks. Those tanks were in the tech tree meaning they were free that means no money for wg. A new player wants to know what the most fun thin about the game is and then conclude if it is worth continuing playing the game, but because the most fun tanks are now on high tier which cost more xp, silver and gold(if you buy premium tanks or spend gold to finish tech tree grind faster) that means the player had to spend more time and those inpatient ones would buy gold which is money for wg. Wg: You want have fun? Pay!
The game just became boring as hell.
No more howtizers at low levers.
No more absolute armor like pz 2 j or hetzer. Every vehicle MUST have a weakspot at front.
No more oneshots for kv 2.
More hp made people less cautios.
No more machineguns like T7 car that go brrrr.
All low tier vehicles are essentially summed up in 2-4 cathegories. You do not have original stuff like bt 7 art, or T18.
Kv2 still 1 shots lol
Idk those tanks made low tier UNfun because of how unbalanced and overpowered some tanks were. Also wtf u yapping about kv 2 still one shots. A game doesn’t need overpowered things to make it fun. Overpowered tanks will only make u have fun but make everyone else suffer and have miserable games we want balanced tanks not overpowered ones and for once wg is doing that. If u need over powered tanks to have “fun” then u probably have just lost interest in the game. Like I can drive a cs 63 and still have fun
@@Ghost_D4A u taking to me?
@@Badger_the_td xD thought u were the other dude, didn’t pay enough attention
I do barley one shots with my KV2 nowadays@@Ghost_D4A
It undoubtedly hurt the viability of of tiers 1-4. New lines now start at 6-8 so you lose out on the more forgiving tiers that encouraged new play styles. No one (or most) wont want to stick around in low tiers so the bad players are basicsply forced into 6-8. Theres a reason 1-4 is a ghost land. I dont see how no one playing those tiers is a gokd thing.
Buying into tier x is not equivalent fast research to tier X. I guarantee you the average player will not spend $100 on 1 tank. Tier X is far less competitive/balanced than it was 10 years ago.
Checked my last match. 4 enemies had less than 2k battles. I have 15k. None of them where in divisions. 8pm CST. (59.82% winrate btw)
400 hours on a phone will almost certainly perform poorly compared to us on PC and Ipad. They are likely going to continue to be "bad" either way.
I absolutely agree that removing derp guns makes things more even but it also encourages people to just win via HP or DPM because everyone does 60 damage at a time and can easily just pen each other (for example). i think a good middle ground would have been better. Nerf the Keni.
I can't disagree with your assessment of game modes.
I agree that the game has gone downhill a bit. Gambling, FOMO, balance issues, and other issues were far worse than 5.5 but i dont think 5.5 helped any.
Bad (new) players play higher tiers because 1-7 is just bots, maybe half at tier 7. It takes a LONG time before bots start getting phased out of games. The transition of playing against bots to real players isn't seemless because you learn nothing and it's frustrating when your bot "teammates" are intentionally missing their target and the other team has bots that are actually doing damage. I assume the bots are coded to decide before the game starts whether they will be effective or not. The only way to actually practice the game against real players is tier 8-10. So wondering why new players play at higher tiers, it's so obvious. I've heard people say there's no bots at T7, this is not true at all.
@otallono All good points. I can't comment on the bots as I never played with them, and I think I've made it too far for them to be in my matches. WG bots, that is. I do have my suspicions about some...
Players with sub 5k can get into non noob MM matches by platooning with someone who’s not in it.
I agree with your comment on game modes. The XP gain from them is obscene. Especially as back in the early days of blitz x3, x4, x5 or hell even x10 did not exist. I remember when they first added the stackable 5x booster for the number of vehicles you had in your garage of that tier, back when I still had lines to grind - I went from a tier 8 centurion to the 4202 in like 15 games or so, and this was in random battles. It’s utterly ridiculous how quick you can get up to tier 10 now with game modes, boosters and xX certificates.
thanks for the membership ❤
tbh a player's first 500 battles already briefly determine their future, because from the start, where ppl get the easiest games, yet they still only achieve 50%, they're're probably not gonna get better, becuase the game gets "harder" as they play more battles.
i'd say on average 500battles to 5000 battles the average player who does not watch atleast 1channel similar to droodles will drop 10% winrate, so if they start with 60% they;d drop to 50%.
It's all bots from t1-7 for way longer than 500 battles, they gradually get phase out over time but it sucks so you have to play at t8-10. You can't learn by playing against bots. I fail to understand why people don't see this as the main issue. Even if you know how to play and you're playing against half a team of bots, you're not going to play the same way.
@@otallono not all bots, bots gradually decrease over 1000 battles, where you should barely see them anymore, rarely you might meet 1-2 if there isnt enough players.
But also, if you continue to do bad wg will increase the bots aswell.
And yes what is a problem, is when they decide to play t8-t10, they wont get bots and now they complain. but they forget that they get noob mm which is what trains them for playing against player.
playing against bots is only suppose to allow people to get used to the controls.
if they want some bots, but also want to learn to play against players, they should be staying at tier7 and below. tier7/6 is a fun tier i dont realyl see why people are so desperate in moving up the line.
Here is the other BS part of the equation. A player with just 42 games driving a Type 62, has 6 masteries a 92.86% win rate,max damage of 3,242 and just slaughtered a team I was on. It was easy to tell this was a highly experienced player. Obviously a seal clubber with nothing better to do...
10:15 well ironically i remember in the video "say goodbye to the skill" that you said that 5.5 was bad for the game but i guess you changed your mind
Which was made en 2024
Is everyone still *VERY* salty about 5.5 wg is on a very unstable statement rn
battle counts along with the winrate is most likely irrelevant due to the fact that alot of players including myself only plays in modes and that's it. I didn't play regular in ages and I don't plan to do so.
The thing that I don't understand is WHY players want to jump up to higher tiers before they are ready. Basically, it seems that a lot of people don't care about anyone except themselves, which is disappointing. I took 2 years for me to work my way up to playing tier X. And I took each step up to a higher tier with some trepidation because, dang, I don't want to be the jerk that doesn't know what he's doing and ruins my team's game. But clearly there are a lot of players who don't really care about that and just want to drive a tier X tank and every 10 or 20 games get lucky and have a good game.
I understand what Droodles is saying, but at the same time, why completely removing all those tanks from the game? Couldn't WG just nerf those and let them remain in the tech tree? And even if they couldn't nerf them, who cares??? Its mainly tier 3/4, take T-82 and Hetzer for example, after 10 battles at most just like Droodles said, now nobody remains at tier 3 getting banged by an Hetzer or the T-82. And even if they did remain for hundreds or even thousands of games at tier 3 (I saw people like this and I'm sure Droodles saw them too) getting clapped each game at low tiers, I couldn't care less, maybe try getting good, buying higher tiers and if that individual still fails to survive he could still buy that so called "low tier OP tank" thats been banging him for the previous 10 fucking thousand games or more. I don't even wanna start talking about new tank restoration prices, because double is too much, maybe a 125% of what the tank was sold for, might be good enough because the player still needs to pay more than what he gained from selling the tank and the price to restore isn't like buying ONLY the tank as new (which you can't because they often come in boundles that higher the prices) and for people who have a new account like myself who want to get old low tiers and WG added trash sandbox containers and battle passes that have the same 4 LOW tier tanks. How is someone new to the game supposed to get a KV-13 at tier 6 or even know what that is because probably not even Droodles himself thinks anymore about that tank. I mainly play tier 10 at more than 10K battles in my account but sometimes I want to play low tiers have fun and dgaf about stats, is that supposed to be bad? No, you know why? Because of what I wrote just above and sealclubbing is for 40%ers because anvone who knows decently well the game isn't gonna say "OMG 75% wr at, ~lemme check~,... TIER 3!!!" Oh and IMHO I think buying/gambling for high tiers should be removed for people who don't have at least researched and played that very tier.
I agree with almost everything but I still think that 5.5 was terrible because it depends on how you see the game: it was chosen to concentrate players in tiers 7-10 and make 1-5 just an apprenticeship, opening the gap between one tier and the next so much that it became unpleasant to play... before instead there were beautiful historical tanks at the low tiers and you simply chose where to play according to taste: you were almost not forced to level up... strong or mediocre tanks were there as there are now at the high tiers, it's not that, it's that now you only play post-ww2 or fantasy tanks concentrated in half the tiers, before you played pre-war or ww2 and you chose between 7-8 tiers
People fail to realize that learning the game, try harding and playing a lot does not guarantee that someone is going to ever be better than 40%. If you don't have the skill set you will always be limited to some extent. You can try to reach your top potential but that might still be somewhat bad. WOT can be very much like Chess. Ever notice that not everyone will be good at chess even joining a club and having a coach and years of practice and here comes some 12 year old who beats them in 5 minutes who just learned the game.
The worst update is when they start making this a world of tanks 2.0.
But I still dont get why wg made 5.5. There is no reason for that. They just ruined some funny vehicles. 😢
Helped blitz. Bro wtf 😡
*sighs* games are about having fun not to be competitive in... for me personallh WR doesn't matter at all, all that matters is having fun win or lose idc
People who want to play competitive ugh... ranked exists...? Thats all im gonna say
Tryhards that can't go pro 😂
@@kazuma2814 haha true XD
I will agree that update 5.5 was one of the worst update ever in wot blitz history. Kv13, dw2,luchus etc good tanks were removed and those tanks that were left in tech tree were nerfed so badly like hetzer, leopard etc now i don't even like playing lower tiers anymore.
I think the auction is another competition killer allowing any and all players access to tier 10 etc.
I used to fear Hetzers with the 105mm....
I'll tell ya what shits me, f ,ing late starts if you play on Nintendo switch like i do , every update, you never know how bad the late starts are going to be. usually i can only play rating games to start on time, but after the last update, i even start late in rating's games now, and nothing gets fixed or talked about for switch users . Last upload didn't even work in the switch for a week, until they did something, i lost prizes and credits as i had bought a party pass and couldn't play for a week, i sent them a ticket to do something about compensation and they don't even reply , come on droodles say something about this for switch players apart from get a computer, that seems to be most people's response, but i like playing on the big screen tv and game controller, it's what I'm use to.
What is your WR
Not sure what wr is , can you please explain to me.
Honestly I’m not against having more xp boosters from crates, I feel pretty annoyed when I have to grind another tech tree for so damn long. But yes, the downside is that the player base receives less training in the game. But even then I say it’s not hard to pick up on it. I had 3600 battles at 66% WR, just know your positioning, don’t overcommit, and you are ok.
I agree, it’s the boosters. XP boosters should be rare, and have lower multipliers. I personally like to use free xp to grab the top modules, then grind the xp for the next tank. With 5x and 10x boosters, I can power right through the tier 9.
I have an idea. 100 battles on each tank to be eligable to research and go further
My win rate is 29% 43k games 😅 but i enjoy this game 😊😊
Theres no way...
Ignorance really is a bliss.
29% i didnt even know that this is possible like how😂
Thats is winning spirit keep going to zero!!! but tell me what time in the day you play.....
Nobody who plays along side you enjoys it. People like you are nothing but a menace in this game.
You know why i am tired if this they are removing the fun factor from the game instead of adding unreal engine first fix the damn servers its so annoying to get bad ping always
Had a game where there was a 70% 128k battle player on the enemy team when i had about 3k games
As you rightly point out, updates may only be a small part of the problem.
The main problem remains in the average player's extreme lack of ability and desire to play at least sufficiently.
It's a mobile game with a small player base, not like Halo or Cod or something. And as I commented before, there are bots from t1-7 for a long time and you can't learn by playing against bots, very poorly coded ones at that. Removing the bots will be a massive difference.
Honestly i didnt like the update 5.5 in when they removed some tier 6 like the t150 or the pz III a droodles do you really think the t150 was busted back in the day in my opinion i dont think so, the kv2 should be removed from the game same for the kv1s those vehicles shouldn't be in the game they should be replaced by the t150 because the kv2 and the kv1s are biggest reason why tier 5 suck abd the m7 of tier 4 due to the fact that wg turn it into a tier 4 now the m7 is completely busted because is super fast and it hits really hard the m7 should be a tier 5 not a tier 4, but wg doesn't care enough about us because they removed the t150 from the game, the kv13 and the PZ III A and they turned the m7 into a tier 4 which made very op and they keep changing the meta of tier 10 by rebalancing the tier over and over and destroying higher tiers nowadays i dont play pubs in tier 10 all that much because is super toxic i always want to try and rise up my stats but every time i try always got rewarded with trash
I love when my team are full of 50-80k battles and less then 50% win rate 😅
Took me about 10.000 games to figure it out...5000 I was drunk driver😅
The opness of the t82 is a good reason why the kv-1 122mm option sucks
You can get noob players in platoon. I’ve had a game were a 40k player platooned with a player with only 500 games. It’s the high end boosters that allow them to grind to quickly
Maybe it would be a good idea to remove tank xp from "fun modes" (but keep credits and crew xp in).
Also they should finally add all the fun modes to custom matches, but I guess they're scared that it'll hurt normal matchmaking too much.
I get you're point Droodles and I somewhat agree with you. However, before 5.5 when you grinded a line in a tech tree you had similar playstyle tanks from the begining. Just like how you showed the Vk line. After the update they removed thoes tanks making the current tech trees somewhat less sensible. Take the German line for example: to grind the Vk 36.01 you have to play with fast moving mediums. Then when you unlock it you get a slow moving heavy with a lot of armour. It's a complete different playstyle which could confuse new players as they try to play it similar to what they used to with the tanks before that.
Also, the fact that WG removed premium ammo and HE from lower tiers just makes no sense. New players won't learn how HE or pramo works only when they get to tier 5 or above.
Speaking from personal experience. I started playing before 5.5 and for me the variety of low tier DID help to learn the game.
Most of the AFK players on my team are in the 60% range so stats don’t mean diddly anymore… furthermore yeah lately it’s an absolutely miserable experience to play. I find myself playing Gran Turismo seven far more than I play blitz
For me the game lost it’s way when they turned all my premium thanks to collectors tanks I only bought premium tanks because they were never going to be touched with any nerfs or buffs Now I feel I’ve just been robbed. wasted my money and my time in this game they lost the confidence of the player base
The game is a total fraud. When you buy a tank, its abilities should NEVER be changed.
You don't even have to grind these days. Crates in draws now give so much experience that I have accounts with 500k xp and more.
Can anyone explain hell divers thing that droodles said??
Hey got a problem with logging tanks from steam, I can’t login through facebook but hovering over where it was it when trying to login shows where u can type but u can’t interact as it just shows nothing at all but the background screen… I’m lost at what to do
I wait till it fixes itself I guess
Happening to me, im just Uninstall and reinstall and see if it fixs it
@@Yaremenk0Alexyytried that but still nonthing, works on mobile though
@Potato-pv3rp yea It didn't work I dont know what's going on no one talking about this issue
@@Yaremenk0Alexyyrip
Totally off topic, but a licensed pilot here 👋 you need 1000-1500 hours of flight time lol
Hahaha... Thx for the heads up bud
Fairly straightforward to fix. Remove boosters (or make them less common or effective) and stop giving combat/crew/free XP for ratings and fun mode battles. You get rating points in ratings anyway, and make fun modes just for, erm, fun. Are you certain the 5k games ‘noob buffer’ has been around since day 1? I thought that was introduced much later
I’m glad they changed low tiers for better but I’m also sad you can’t get the low tier tank anymore either. Now of course that would be another way to introduce paying for OP vehicles but what if the vehicles just got nerfed?
With game modes and X5-X10 bundles in the store i managed to grind all tech trees under 7k regular battles in like couple of months :) With X3-X4-X5-X10 + boosters you will be shocked how much xp you can gain in game modes like boss mode and uprising :)
Your assesement that match making under around 5500 games means you only play with players in the same boat is ABSOLUTELY WRONG. I runmultiple accounts, some > 5k some < 5k and in the sub 5k ones I regularly see 30k and above players appearing. Maybe it holds true above a given number of games but not sub 5k.
I am tired of this BS about experienced players not being put up against noobs. IT IS A LIE! 3 minutes ago I played one of my new accounts with 446 games. In the opposing team there was a player with 18,259 and 52.76% win rate. THAT IS AN EXPEIENCED PLAYER!!!! This is NOT a one off thing, it happens all the time.
mm will always be the same… it’s either bad teammates or vice versa ;-; or you’ll get like steamrolls…
I agree with some of your points, but what I'm seeing now is new players in every game now I'm in, is that players are playing 1 or 2 games getting 100% wr in the tanks. Then they move up a tier doing the same untill they reach tier 10. For example I'm getting players in tier 10 with less than a 1000 some with even less games at 60%-70%wr. That's what has screwed the game.
I'm only a casual player, with 25k battles and wr of 51.41% WR and I can not increase my Wr, in fact it's in decline, I can't carry the team as they are all dead under 1 to 2 minutes because of these players. I think wg need to set the the tiers where you need a certain amount of battles regardless of wr. Ie minimum battles need to be played for example, you would need a minimum of say 8 to 10k battles to play in tier 8, then maybe 15k battles to play in tier 9 and so on.
i wanna say that blitz might be in a bad state due to tank ratings, players angry about the restoration prices, etc. i dont agree with the last one because if you sold exclusive vehicles b4 the update it wouldnt double it unless u bought it and sold it again. so that would kinda be the players problem, not wotb.
I just had a match in an AMX 30 B and ammo racked a maus that lumbered it's way over the ridge by the center hill in overlord by were there are 2 houses, i was surprised and checked the player and had only 600+ matches with an average of 600dmg and with the vk 90.01P It's most played by around 350 matches, i think was more to luck i ammo racked it but that yolo march could have worked, that made me call it a night as i managed to hold the line in the amx 30b when it had no business doing so
Here is another CLASSIC BS match up. From a game I just played there were players with the following stats: 10898/63.66, 15368/50.75, 11936/56.42, 31069/52.98, 10276/59.23, 16604/51.77, 50119/54.91, 36081,53.26 where figure 1 is games played and figure 2 is win rate. In this game was a player with 118 games and another with 1302. So noobs are NEVER put in with expereinced players? Droodles you are either knowingly lying or you have no idea what you are talking about.
I rly dont get why someone’s win rate decide if they r good or not. also people who play the game once a week for 15 battels like me who have had their account for 10years now (i was 9 when I started playing blitz) ofc im gonna have a 45% account i just dont give af. Also team matchmaking decides a good part of once winrate
Ddroodpes can I play with you? Even 1g it's a pleasure to get play with you, even I am not a pro.
I agree dude , but we all player can't complain about this match making😢😢
I will say, I am only a 46% player, and I don't claim to be any good, but I do claim to be better than my stats in-game says, as my 30-day says.
They need to give the big guns back to all tier 5
My max damage is 6300 in tier X is that good or nah
As a player that stopped playing years ago and still stuck at 55% WR the 400 hours play time that you can probably be a licensed pilot comment hurt my soul. Well tbh skill issue on my part lol
Droodles this 500 games matching is true in Europe server I have played over 120k, Europe server merged with Russian server most games me and my platoon play we see people less than 500 sometimes even players with 10 games in a prem tank I have endless screenshots of this and also wrote endless tickets. The game is that bad in the Euro server most of my alliance have now quit within this last few months
For me personally, I think it's actually 10.7. You know why.
In my opinion, your maths aren’t good. Because you are averaging the battles you played at the beginning, when you are learning the ropes and you suck, with the last battles, when you perhaps are achieving a 60-65% because you have seen enough Droodles videos and you are now an experienced commander. Unless I am wrong in the way I believe WTB calculates your marksmanship.
I have achieved the upper part of gold tier but I have a percentage of 48%. How is this possible?
Ok so... I'm not a good or experienced player by any means. I have around 2k-4k battles scattered over multiple accounts. On most of them i have between 55-60% win rate and a kd between 1,5-2,5.
But sometimes i wonder, why are my mates either absolute gamers and yodel the enemies before i can even get to the battlefield, or they turn into apes and drive into the other team's TD's one by one in a straight line.
They also have a memory like a fly that almost got slapped by you 3 secs ago.
I was playing my Concept 1B, right beside me were two other very powerful hull-down heavies, i don't remember which ones, could be also been 1B's. Our team was loosing spectacularly, all the 2nd and 3rd line support vehicles and snipers ran into 3 well coordinated heavies.
So we lost like 50% of our team in the first few minutes, but we controlled more area. We 3 hull down heavies held the cap, while some TD's locked down the flanks. Literally nothing the enemies could do except running into the meat grinder hoping they could maybe reset the cap. One of the heavies gets a bit too greedy, drives out too much and catches a slap by some TD.
I signaled him to come back down, but what are BOTH of the heavies doing? Thats right, leaving their hull down positions and running into enemies that weren't even all spotted. Died in a few seconds.
Why would you leave such a position? It was literally a shooting range, shoot them, but they can't shoot you.
Ultimately we won because of a few smart lights and mediums pulled off an incredible flank.
After the match i looked into the stats of the 2 heavies. 5k+ battles, highest ever damage like 1,5k, 25% win rate. How do you even manage to do that.
Failing on purpose? Screwing ur teammates over? Or maybe genuinely sucking? I can believe it.
@zenoskal1789 i don't think they were trying to loose, just sheer incompetence and skill issue
if warging stop giving xp in special game modes and only credits it will be a bit better.
Yes there are more elderly players in blitz. We have a 90 year old and many 60 year olds in our clan. Also eye problems and disabilities
Worst droodles video in my opinion
Not buying the newb MM bs Droodie.
There are really good players who are casuals that are constantly getting dumped in with newb players and piss poor teams and have a HUGE problem expanding their damage percentages and win rates on account of it.
Wargaming has a decided interest in keeping a certain demographic of player base who can play well, has the pockets to buy higher tier vehicles AND run them well, BUT constantly gets held into lower tier teams because they don't live in Blitz, right where they are so they can keep selling them sh**.
And when you speak of low tier vehicles that are OP??
Wtf has Wargaming NOT nerfed vehicles like the KV2 that can and often do one-shot vehicles that have better guns, armor, or maneuverability?
To say that, Wargaming is on the ball and doing great work with 5.5?
And that nothing is wrong?
Is just being a shill and a pimp for Wargaming.
5.5 has issues, and Blitz itself as a whole has long standing issues that have NEVER been addressed and very much need to be.
The worst update was in my opinion when wg nerfed heavy tanks not because it was bad but because im a heavy main player
Doubled restore prices is the worst update
Chief was 20 dillars, as i recall, and 121b as well 😅
Wargaming gives new players tier 10 for free tbh.....coz when I started playing in my new account like my luck got really crazy and got Concept 1B, my other friends also got some tier 9 and 10s. And these are the players who play in tier 10 and lose the game. Like my question is why would you give a tier 10 to a new player. And in my other account where I played like 3k battles I just don't get any tier 10s or 9s. It's actually frustrating. I got FV4005, E50M, M-VI-YOH, AMX 50 120.
When will the next update release
Can you do a video opening those unopened crates?
Ive played now for 3 months, grind some tier 10 tanks to only find that the worse players are at tier 10 lol. win or lose I get more competitive and fun matchs at tier 8. Facts. The current state of tier 10 is laughable, i get heavy tank players at tier 10 sitting in TD bushs back near spawn hahaha. With progression now being too easy, they should have an additional REGULAR mode(Encounter/Supremacy/Experienced) where only players with 5k+ battles can enter.
Artillery?!?!
😭😭😭
Noooo!!!
Sorry, Droodles - yes, I played for years before 5.5 - and, yes, the game is worse since then. Sure, a person could spend ONE HUNDRED dollars to get a tier 10 back then - but 99% of people ground and learned. So, less tanks, worse teams, no positives. Update 5.5 was the WORST UPDATE EVER.
T7 CAR WAS NEVER IN THE TECH TREE!!
But i got lucky today. Spent around 10k gold on mystery containers. Opened around 60 of lvl 1 containers, few lvl 2s and 1 lvl 3. Got 4 certificates from which 2 t8 which i already had so used that gold for more containers. 1 t6 and finally from the 4th certificate i got Lorraine 50t😂. Practically spending that much gold not worth it but as i got one rarest tank, so im happy. Its a decent tank.
It is like the debate of CV rework is worse than the RTS CV. Which still have hot debate till this day. Blitz 5.5 is exactly the same hot debate. Was I think it is a bad update? Well, yes, really making new players grind shit faster for me it is always a bad thing. Or change the sudden techtree into another one always annoys me and literally pisses me off when I was trying to grind T29 back in my days where I was 1000XP away to get T29 as Jumbo. I’ll never forgive WeeGee on that. Have to make me grind Garbage T1 and M6 and making me frustrated and the first time ever to not enjoy the grind. (this is way before my E50 journey grind).
But I do had to admit. 5.5 is shit regardless you look at it. This is the same update where Kv1 get nerf to the ground. DW removed from the game and VK36 is the only German first Heavies where the grind line doesn’t make any sense anymore. WG try to compensate by making PzIV to have 80mm frontal armor but tbh. They should have never touch German Heavy line and leave it as it is. Matilda is a Tier IV heavy and still very broken till this day. Duck tank is removed. And the worst crime of them all. Flak Toaster. Which still scratched my head on why it is removed hence tree splits should be happen at Tier V onwards. A lot of stuff here doesn’t make much sense and consistency when WG make the split like Jumbo removed Jumbo should stay as a T6 techtree along with E8. Japanese LTs should be staying hence Ke-Ho isn’t even a Seal Clubbing tank and WG can make JP Lts to continue the line instead of making…. That abomination of a Heavy Tank…. I don’t think no body is complain about JP LTs and add them back will just making them funny to be seen in the game. Maybe add a funny mechanics like “Banzai Charge” where ramming as Jp LTs will do triple the damage of its weight.
I started playing the game on update 5.5 so idk what's the big deal 😭
Well you wouldn't would you? Sheeesh...
All bad players should be paying us to play the worse you are the more you pay. 1000 dollars a game problem solved that will cool your ass off
89k battles and still is at 47%, I dunno, maybe noob matchmaking is a myth, we were always in noob matchmaking to begin with...
Noob = new. Just because the skill hasn't noticeably increased it doesn't mean you're facing new players.
There is no realistic matching, like most things in this game, it is a fraud!
Hot take, the worst update for the game SO FAR, was the update that added the sheri🤙
Not that . If the other players has over 8000 games . Well ok. Some them are better than some others with same amount games played. Like i been playing guitar since 12 years old and im 50. And im NOT AS GOOD AS SOME BEEN PLAYING FOR EVEN JUST TEN YEARS
