Hello I have been playing the game for 5 years, and after many BOT filled matches I believe making the game have less tiers would make it more enjoyable for everyone. Tier 3 and tier 4 are usually dead games full of bots since you don’t want to risk playing in mid tiers and end up fighting a tier 5 enemy.
Having 3 tiers and merging the game tiers with tier 1 and 2 being tier 1, tier 3 being tier 2, and tier 4 and 5 become tier 3 would be awesome, with some changes to vehicles and weapons tiers for balancing the game.
Also wasting time preparing your squads for a low or high tier match is tedious work. so I also think we should have a preset save for multiple squads as well. meaning I have 7 squads I want to play tier 5 with for example, I just save them all in 1 general preset, then make a new one for tier 2 to enjoy lower tiers. something like saving all the deployed squads on my screen as 1 preset please.
BR3 can’t face BR5 and as such isn’t affected by it and while BR3-4 matches are rare due to BR5 being as strong as it is, BR3 by itself or BR2-3 matchest are not dead by a long shot. I’d even go so far as to say BR3 is the most popular BR in the game.
And what would having 3 tiers solve? You’d just throw all the people who don’t want to deal with BR5 into Tier 1 due to +1/-1 Matchmaking. Or would that be ended as well? Through that all BR3-4 games simply don’t happen anymore and you’d get more bots not less.
A squad preset is a good idea though and as a separate suggestion I’d support it,
On a side note not related to the contents of your suggestion, you need a poll or it’ll be closed.
I left a poll but it gave me an error stating that I’m not allowed to make a poll. Also I thought the tiers merge and concept of having 1 general preset would be all about making the game more easy to use. And I don’t know how to edit my forum by the way.
You only get matched because of the BR of your highest weapon in your active squads! Tier ≠ BR
And no, Tier 3 (where many BR II and BR III stuff is located in) are not usally dead games! Never was and never will! Every time I play BR II and BR III I have full lobbies of enemies until at they end of their match when they start to destert to keep their winrate.
I guess removing BR2 and BR4 is what he’s asking for - turning the game effectively into ±0BR, so that we end up with just 3 total BRs.
Good for MM, balance and gameplay - terrible for gear diversity. There are so many established metas with squads and weapons, that when we cut 50% of the total meta content and banish it into being worthless - we would probably piss off alot of people, especially premium owners.
Where do you move Panzer III M? BR3 would turn it into a rather poor tank with slightly above average armor and a bad gun, while BR1 would be ludicrously OP.
In other words, there is zero chance of that happening, the game has a established “balance” and messing with it too much would cause chaos.
