Uh dude, the merge has only been here alittle over 24hrs…
What the point of getting so bent for company that doesn’t respect you.
The way they handled merge is objectively shit and that’s after 4 test servers of feedback

Most of the problems became IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS, like 5 matches in. It actually got worse the longer I played on first night. Even worse still, almost ALL OF THE DAMN OBVIOUS PROBLEMS were pointed out IMMEDIATELY upon the first announcement of any actual details of this nightmare. Hell, it became obvious to me that by the time we had 4 campaigns that the population is getting fractured way too hard. We ended up with THIRTY SIX separate queues (6 campaigns, you can queue for both sides, so its x2, there are 3 separate servers you can pick, so thats x3)
The game has been training people to actively turn off “Play for both sides” option from basically first day of playing.
And now it came to a point where dogwater Germany spammers are being rewarded by being force fed people with no gear getting uptiered 2 or even 3 whole ass BR’s. Instead of just being dumped against bots or outright made wait 2h for an even remotely even match.
All my lower level friends were waiting for the merge for a YEAR, only to immediately quit after one day.

MMMMM YESSS
THIS BALANCE IS MADE OF BALANCE
BR3 in a BR1 match btw (It actually felt worse than just farming bots)
BR3 in BR5
Of course the ubermensch started leaving 2 minutes into the match, by minute 5 half of the german team is gone
Not that simple dude, I’ve been playing since the first day of OBT, saw a lot of BS and other fun stuff, I still miss being possible to call more than 1 artillery at the same time even if I never leveled my artillery squads for example.
BUT when I started playing there was a gap of max 1-2 levels between all players, the experience for us veterans on the game was way different than the guy starting today and even when we matched against the rare whales that bought all levels day 1 the players mostly didn’t had that much experience on the campaigns so it gave us better chances, the situation will be wildly different for people coming as it is right now.
Getting first places with weak gear means nothing, i almost never played Berlin or Pacific, still got first places, the first place doesn’t prove you are good or the game is balanced, it proves you are better than your team and only and as the matchmaking is I’ve seen plenty newbies teams playing BR 3-5 and stacks abusing BR 3 to quit BR 4-5 matches and only play BR 1-2 where they have guaranteed superiority.
As for a solution, I think that instead of 1-3 and 3-5 maps there should be +1/-1 relative to your BR, it would give less compression of BR and still maintain a fairly low number of lobbies compared to how it was before the merge.
