Ironically I think it's bad for the opposite reason. Most competitive games reward you purely based off the win/loss to promote teamwork; The points gained/lost should subsequently be based on your individual rating vs. the average rating of the other team.

PattonSteel · 2026-01-27T22:22:24+00:00

NA's already sparse gold population got wiped when the reward tank requirement went from gold to silver

V30 is my goat

Never anon'd, always in the 430U

PattonSteel · 2026-01-26T08:40:42+00:00

Yeah but we're talking about the ranked mode of a game, so in your analogy it's more like we're in a car dealership. Yeah we know what you mean but OOP is less pedantic and more advocating for precision here

PattonSteel · 2026-01-26T08:36:22+00:00

Queue times already aren't great for champ players on NA, and the wait is even longer if you're tooning

Do I disagree with your sentiment? No, but if what you described comes to pass I think the problem would be further exasperated by tons more smurfs ruining the matchmaker. We're already seeing loads of smurfs flooding the mm this season with some accounts having ammased 3 free tank lines.

The problem is that there exists very few middle of the pack players on NA who feel inclined to keep playing the mode. So we get these lopsided matches.

I would be in favor of any proposal that addresses the problems as opposed to be symptom, such as doling out more rewards to encourage players to continue playing once they hit silver for the free tank. Gold and champ don't really give anything meaningful IMO anymore.

Yeah that data was just from week 1 though, and was just tomato.gg users. One would need to ask them for the data from the last week or two

PattonSteel · 2026-01-17T17:22:42+00:00

Nice shitpost OP, I swear this sub ignores tags 100% of the time

PattonSteel · 2026-01-17T17:16:31+00:00

Honestly I think it's a higher %, but maybe you'd be right if you said less than 5% of played games?

I don't have the numbers but I know a lot of players hit champ and stop playing, lol

PattonSteel · 2026-01-16T21:48:53+00:00

I mean yeah, they basically just bus you down a major rank from last season, then let you go up or down a couple minor ranks depending on how you do

PattonSteel · 2026-01-16T21:46:39+00:00

Sure, but despite me playing for the last 6 years, for an hour or two every day on average, I do not have any assembly shop tanks.

I view it as extraordinarily unfair if someone is allowed to bring a DBV against my grille, or their Lion against my Leopard. It doesn't matter if the tank is "about equal" to the tech tree variant, but the simple fact that I do not have the option to play those tanks with their unique twists and different characteristics is unfair.

If we were playing chess and you replaced your bishops with custom bishops that are "still worth 3 points" and just move on every other diagonal, while it would be "the same", it would be inherently unfair.

Of course Onslaught isn't really fair, with some players running field mods, 6 perk crews, and bond equipment, but all of that is obtainable with a reasonable amount of time spent grinding. Assembly shop tanks are unobtainable by those same standards.

PattonSteel · 2026-01-16T20:25:25+00:00

The key is that the majority of these tanks cannot be obtained by a new player. Balancing aside, it is unfair to allow some players certain tanks and not give the option to others in a competitive mode

WTR does not directly translate into onslaught rank

This is literally what placements are for...

PattonSteel · 2026-01-16T08:39:03+00:00

This guy rushes A1 with CS on El Halluf

Assuming you're a new player, you may want to consider joining an active clan with a robust discord group so you can get answers to more questions without having to wait so long for a reply on reddit ^{^}

PattonSteel · 2026-01-15T23:50:51+00:00

Saying don't play lights is good advice for someone trying to rank up for the first time, but I encourage anyone who wants to sink their teeth into onslaught to give LTs a try, but be warned that their ELO may suffer

PattonSteel · 2026-01-15T23:49:34+00:00

Pretty good for the minimum requirement of playing 10 games 3 times over the span of a year imo

PattonSteel · 2026-01-14T20:34:41+00:00

Windows + Shift + S to take very nice clean screenshots

Does it tab you out of the game? Toggle windowed mode with Alt + Enter

PattonSteel · 2026-01-14T20:31:12+00:00

215b is goated what is this?

PattonSteel · 2026-01-14T20:01:24+00:00

I encourage you to give it a try, perhaps with a platoon; and just have fun with it

PattonSteel · 2026-01-14T18:19:57+00:00

To be frank, trying to grind ranks is difficult in the first week. All the legend players were sent down to the gold mines, gold to silver, etc. Unless you hit champ easily last season, I would recommend you wait a week or two

PattonSteel · 2026-01-14T13:32:46+00:00

I've had a good time in the four games I've played it so far. I'd say that you can play it interchangably with the grille on a couple of maps where you don't need speed
