    I am writing this thread because i have seen the numerous and incessantly complains on TDM event Match making.
    Get Real. The 90% problem lies with you, and the 10% with dumb teammates.

    Few possible reason you are not winning:
    1. You are weak. You think you are great but you are not. Since matchmaking is done with Gearscore (GS) , you finally realize (or haven't realize) that you are usually playing in the shallow part of the bay. Where else in the deeper part of the bay, there are NM players or Ace 1 players holding the near equivalent GS to you yet they are winning like mad.

    2. You are either brainless or have zero critical thinking. Ponder on the 50% faster cooldown , the smaller maps and the 3v3 scenario.
    Scenarios :
    a) Filling a blue slot with anything but shield. Yes , in certain circumstances , GL or Rudder can be a good choice, but a bandage is pure stupidity.
    b) Any ship that takes a low cool down weapon. E.G Cannon, Missiles (Circumstantial) , carronade (good on speeders only) , mortars (Execept BB)

    3. Maps and the differences
    a) First Flood . camping gets you killed. Hiding at spawn gets you screwed over big time . Torp KIll Zone .
    b) Brawl Park. Camping near your spawn in the tunnel is a kill-zone. (80% of the time unless your teammate has Mines)
    c) Cold Riddance. The only 50-50 map where you have a chance at camping and equipping mortars based weapons.

    4. Team ship build & Opponent Ship Build.
    Shooters are the worst ship to choose for Total Mayhem. Followed by Fixer. Defender, Speeder & Enforcers are top choices.
    a) If Oppo has 2 defenders & 1 shooters, and your team has 1 defender & 2 shooters, play passively. Where else in the reverse scenario, do the opposite.
    b) Aim shooters & fixers first , easiest target compared with the rest.
    c) If the opponent has more yellow boats, stick together. Simple logic.

    To sum it up, the main crucial part towards winning is critical thinking and gaming acumen.

    so u saying nobs should be punished for sux at this game? u may feel superior because u better skilled, but it dont male u a better person then others. skill come from practice and time, the only reason u better is that u started early. be nice to newbs because you wont be "better" without them.

    Well this thread was written for the "pros" who loses in BattleBay because of anything in the world except themselves. And the only way they can seek "justice" is by bunching up together on the forum and piss all over the place.

    The statement that playing longer means being better at the game is flawed. I have seen people with 20k or more games who can't lead shots to clinch a win.

    Making statements that because someone play lesser as an excuse that they have poorer skills is akin to making the anology that a child can Never win an adult.

    Match making by GS is a level playing field that can show or extrovert the inner skills that you have.

    If this logic can't be comprehend, I suspect that you may have the same symptoms of the number 2 on my earlier post.

    Idk its kinda hard to prevent your teammates from charging out alone.
    Instead of wins, they should do it on stars

    And stars should be given out based on performance of yours compared to the rest of your team, no matter if you lose or win
    Also compared to dps and deaths.

    I think this would eradicate chargers who only want dps (by taking deaths into account for rewards) and also kill complaints of bad matchmaking( doesnt matter if you win or lose)

    That was pretty savage, but let's be real here. Only my MVP status is preventing me from putting that Morgan Freeman meme here.

    1. What GS and infamy are yours at
    2. Yes, you can't stop idiots from rushing or charging out alone. Depending on your team league level, commands can be useful. I usually spam command buttons if I need them to stick together. Together, attack ,negative. If I need to charge, I will spam Attack X3.

    As much as I love stars as a requirement, star has been always biases towards fixer as a whole.

    Assuming average stars at 2, losing a game with 1 stars guarantee an investment of 50% ROI based on ticket. But with win count it's like 100% lost upon losing.

    It's much easier to control 3v3 than the previous 5v5. I am assuming you are at Mk5 level based on GS.

    Well, as it's an external factor, not much you can do. If they are near your league level and same like minded as you, shouldn't be a problem. Downside is you can only check upon end game.

    Speeders are good except in cold riddance. Too many obstacles. Teslabolt is a god item in TDM. Equip shields instead of bandage

    I don't have a rare or epic shield, much less the money to buy one.

    Speeders(conventional) are definitely bad on cold riddance. But if you run a rudder and can chain nitros, cold riddance is duellist heaven lol

    Sadly I scrapped 7 epic nitros till date. 5 was pre Tesla bolt nerf. Was always thinking of double bubble plus OB for enforcer. stun, bubble, OB for speeder

    Deathmatch zone is just like Dodgeball.

    Remember to pick on the weakest unfriends ship over and over again. Kills are the most important factor.

    If you are horrible at finishing ships.

    Ask yourself. Why? And why do you think it' your friends teammates who should take the kill shot?

    Get awesome at finishing any boat 1vs1. And deathmatch will be a fun event for you.

    This event will not be suited to mortar builds. Learn to shoot a cannon. And learn to blowup boats.
