Match Making is killing team spirit and community

[Hakayosha 10]

I have been playing off and on for quite some time.  Before Match Making you could get a sense of who you were playing with and against.  This was conducive to friendships being made and certainly a feeling of team and usually team work.

 

Now with matchmaking and the shorter duration of games, there is no teamwork.  If fact there is almost an adversarial attitude even on your own team.  It's every player for themselves.  There have always been rude players, but not like this. 

 

It is impossible to connect with any player since you will be off their team in a matter of minutes and you will probably never be in a battle with them again.  You could invite them to be a friend if you even notice someone you are playing with or against, but what then?  They just become a name on a useless list.  

 

Besides all the other things that matchmaking has taken away from Tanki, interaction of the community may not be as appearant, but it will become more clear as time goes on.  Shame on the developers for their shortsightedness and for doing what they have done to what was once a really fun and interactive game.

 

I will continue to play Tanki once in awhile, but even less than before.  Why bother?  I don't like the long waits to go into a battle on the losing team with only a couple of minutes left and then have another long wait to do the same thing again.  Especially when there is no connection, at all, between any of the players now.

 

You people should get a developer that actually plays and likes Tanki because the fools that have done this to the game obviously have no clue as to what the game is, or was, like to play.

If you are looking to find these things you will see them.  I see great team work and I see bad team work every day.  That has not changed with MM. W

I agree with you, but I like the shorter 10 minute battles, except now I can't beat my friend with "highest K/D in one battle" anymore very easily XDD

Please!  Have you been playing Tanki? 

 

Maybe at your rank things are better, but at my rank, it is terrible.  And it is not something I am looking for as you suggest...why would I look for something like that?  It is something I have noticed when I played occasionally in the last couple of weeks.  It is so bad that I decided to post something about in on the forum.

I witness bad team-work each day and have been witnessing even before MM system - it all depends on players how they play and you can't blame nobody about this kind of situation lol.

Teamwork at your level has always been "iffy". But that does not mean MM is the reason.

 

This picture you paint (OP) of staunch team that all vanished with MM does not match my experience with TO.
