~Question~

 

Are we still going to be able to create customized pro-battles? I personally just like to play Noise battles against other clans. Am I going to lose that with the MM?

Yes, PRO battles will remain the same with the only exception being that Private battles won't generate any battle fund. 

all i see in your post is all about team battles .. you never mentioned one word on DM battles .. are they gone now!!

No, all the modes are still there.

MM is good.

 

Cool changes.

[Bydo 20,125]

 

No, all the modes are still there. 

for now . wait and see . seeing there is no mention on them in his post

[Ninja 10,468]

then how will battles be balanced? what if one side has big fat drugers and the other side doesn't have any? I'm pretty sure drugs are the main reason battles are unbalanced... more than MUs or equipment modifications

If everyone is of the same rank or within 1-2 ranks of each other you can safely presume that both teams will have similar equipment and skill. Much better than the current system where ranks are quite far apart and everyone joins the winning team.

I really DISLIKE Matchmaking!  I like to choose what Map I like to play, what players I like to play with and what side I prefer to play as the maps are different from red to blue. 

 

Yes it matters what I want to play as random Maps with random players equals a disadvantage since we all have favorites and now that is being taken from us.

 

Obviously someone thinks its a good idea.  Why not have both options or are you worried no one would choose Matchmaking if they had a chance? 

 

Also no matter what its really unsettling to change everything when so many have liked it as it is!   

I think they are thinking of the mobile version more than thinking of the old players. The mobile version will bring them new players

well tell me what's new apart from that? fund,groups? even after several months they forgot to add a map filter. so we can remove the maps that we don't like to play or can't play due to lag/low fps. i ain't gonna play in those much for sure.

The mechanism for even distribution of players and probably more optimised queing system. So in theory there should be minimal waiting time and near-perfect balance between teams. In theory. We'll see what actually happens tomorrow.

Team composition

 

During the development and testing of Matchmaking one question was asked most often: what will be the ideal maximum number of players in battles after Matchmaking is released? In the end, we decided to implement this decision: team battles will be played in 8 v 8 format, and for modes with one side 16 players will be able to join the battle.

 

Matchmaking system is designed in such a way, that battles start only with an equal team composition. This means, that teams will be full from the very start of the battle, and you won’t have to wait for opponents or teammates.

This mean Deathmatch. There is a s at the end of mode. This mean DM and Juggernaut (DM with big boss).

Consequently TO is not removing DM, better, they are adding one more.

You're forgetting buyers.  The whole point of investing in crystals is to upgrade your tank to be better than your opponents' tanks who are of a similar rank.

Two thoughts come to mind:

 

1. It now seems next-to-imposible for snipers to work on improving their K/D rate as they'll no longer be able to choose a sniper-friendly map and the comfort of their favourite corner.

 

2. Things are generally going to get very tough for camping snipers.  The heat will be on when they find themselves unexpectedly placed on a small map with no cover, being chased around by Isidas, Freeze and Firebirds.

 

3.  What will be the point in players investing money in their tanks when they'll be thrown into battles ONLY with other players have that have done the same?  Surely it's now going to make more sense to invest nothing, play with a weaker tank, and take on other players with equally weak tanks?  The only point in buying crystals from the shop is to play against same-rank opponents who have weaker tanks.  Buying is now pointless.

1) K/D is such a limiting measurement of anything... will be even more obsolete after the change.

 

2) There are no "small" maps - normal battles have used large maps and expanded medium maps for quite some time now.

    very few maps have "no cover".  Worst is probably massacre, and even that has a lot of low hills that prevent direct fire hits.

 

3) Tank upgrades will certainly not be the only measurement for being placed on teams.  If you don't upgrade your tank, and you are Colonel with stock M2, you could still find yourself fighting against Commanders with M3-10/20.

Generally I do my missions in small maps and where less people are present(Forest,desert)because I lag in big maps ... But now I can't choose my map anymore and results in lag and I won't finish missions.wow great update which won't allow me to finish missions*

Any solution for this tanki ?

I don't Know much about Match making ill hope its a good update.

My Question:

 

How can a Player Copy a Battle link if he finds a Game violator (hacking,mult,sabotage,etc) in battle?

 

If developers have decided that NON-PRO map won't be listed and the only way is to join is by Clicking Battle Button.

I hope u remove the pasting battle link while creating a new Thread or come up with a new idea about it.

[Noghtfly 405]

 DM battles .. are they gone now!!

Now that would be a great update, getting rid of DM  :D

[Ninja 10,468]

You're forgetting buyers.  The whole point of investing in crystals is to upgrade your tank to be better than your opponents' tanks who are of a similar rank.

This is where whatever sorting system the MM system uses comes in. Theoretically it would distribute the more powerful opponents equally between the teams, be that through randomisation or some other way.

You can still use the vote button. You are right no Battle link will be available and the battle will not be listed so there is no way you could come back in the game that way. 

Hopefully they will explain and comment on this good point you raised.

[HornetCZ 10]

Honestly, another bad update this time they will lose 15k Approx players only 5k will left now.

Now pro battles pass won't work. R.I.P Tanki 28./ 05 / 18. 

but somehow I agree with you, but I think there will actually be between 1 and 2 thousand

[Winters 214]

Match making, YES. The way it works, NO.

[Shaftermath 185]

Look, there are reasons why we choose maps. It's because different maps suit different tanks. Large, slow hulls perform best in smaller maps, and vice versa.

 

Similarly, turrets like Shaft require places you can get a good view and cover (Brest and Highways are best, Desert and Polygon are just about ok).  Turrets like Ricochet suit maps with perpendicular walls that you can bounce the plasma off.

 

So how does Matchmaker work for these? If I join a battle with Wasp/Shaft (my favourite), are you going to put me in a Massacre or Tribute battle? I'd leave immediately and keep trying until I was put in a suitable map.

 

I'm sure I'll find a map eventually, but it's going to be a very frustrating, time-wasting process. Is this really what you want?

Is the matchmaking system finished?

[chullu 97]

In near future tanki will loose tons of player regarding new updates like energizer and match making.
 

[CooperO 7,956]

Is the matchmaking system finished?

It is ready to be implemented, but not finished. As stated in the announcement, small adjustments might be made, for example to the fund increase and gold box drop rate. 

Apart from that I'm sure there's still plenty of room for improvement of the whole system.
