Covered exactly the same issue about the MM a month ago, hopefully your video goes out there as well. The LT + SPG MM is a joke right now.
TOO much mobility in the game = TOO fast battles = SLOW tanks can go F themselves = GG FINITO (as Skill would say). 1 EBR limit is a MUST have cap, but IMO even 3 LTs might be too much, as to game is already too fast for the size of the maps we have. 2 LTs can do all the work needed with EEEZ. Btw, when was it when we tested the ammo changes on the SandBox, what happened to this, WG? :D And oh yeah... the fact the we have to check out good or bad tanks ACTUALLY are from the third party sites, to see their "soft stats" or "hidden stats" is absolutely mindblowing + armor model... Freaking community has to do that for themselves... I mean it is not 1990 anymore where games were supposed to be 10MB. Oooh, I do not want to ruin my chill-day. Good talk Skill. Love you brother. ❤

Thank you Skill for the nice rant! The more people who watch this video the better! Spread it around people!

After 8 years of playing, I finally uninstalled it forever
It's a shame, I used to love WoT.

WG: Fixing everything except the problems that needs to be fixed.

I play this game since 2010. Closed beta tester, almost 11 years of experience now. And I can tell you that lately every year the game is just becoming worse and worse. The peak was around 2013-2015 IMHO, but suddenly they started to introduce broken premiums (starting with 252) than 1.0 happened and since than its a spiral going down without brakes. The gameplay itself just becoming more and more primitive, one sided. After the reworks of 1.0 all of the maps just started to become generally 3 narrow corridor, with usually one winning side, and that's it. The tanks get powercrept until to the point when now you have to load premium ammo to be able to damage the WEAK POINT of the meta tanks. And the matchmaking, after 11 years still lacking any skill-based balance and creating more and more of those monstrous battles where one team is literally the orange/red army, while the other is just green and above-average players. You can't do that in a game like this which involves and requires so much skill and knowledge in it's gameplay mechanics (think about spotting system, armor thickness, gun stats, map strategies etc.).
And the saddest thing is (and here I'll be disagreeing with you Skill) that WG probably exactly know about these problems, and potentially know how to solve this, but they don't care, because they don't have to. Sh*t is still getting sold like candy, and generally in my opinion this whole unbalanced powercrept meta is what keeping the game's monetary system alive. See, what happening is that more and more players herded into the hightiers: with 5x multipliers, blueprints, etc everyone can reach tier 10 in about 3-500 battles, while back in the old days you had to spend the same amount battles only in the T9 vehicle itself to research the T10. Now those players will meet with that absolute disgusting monstrosity we know as hightier meta. Playing tier 10 is expensive in general. Than you have to spend credits, a LOT credits to buy premium ammo and consumables, so you can be competitive. And thats it. The whole hightier meta (from T8 to T10) is about to make you burn as much credits as you can, so you buying the new premiums and the premium days. This is what this game slowly became starting since 2016-17-18 to this day. A freakin' money sink. Everything, every new addon, event, etc is subordinated to this purpose. I spend literally a decade playing with this game, and I really really feel sorry seeing what this otherwise one-of-a-kind masterpiece become. I miss the old days. Truly.

The dislikes are the wg employees that dont know their own game's mechanics

[Vrey]

Imagine a 120 mm shooting a car, well the same should happen to ebr.

[SilverforceX]

This game was never about fast paced twitch shooting, its slow pre-ww2 tanks, then ww2 tanks that are still slow, and now you throw in EBRs that are like racing cars, the entire audience that they build up, are older games not kids into fast shooters and they throw something like EBRs that have such a high influence on battles zooming around the battle spotting everyone. Ridiculous whoever thought it was a good idea.

[TheGrandexeno]

So, last days as CC for Skill, huh? They managed to really piss off one of the kindest and most positive guys I saw online

[josipmrkonic]

WG managed to piss off most calm streamer and player out there. Yeah GJ muppets in WG.

[nickfenris]

96 dislikes are from Wargaming's balancing team...

[TheLucreziia]

After many years of playing WOT I have had enough. They have ruined it with the greed and pay to win fiasco. This latest round of nonsense has killed the game so its for me it is Game Over.

[Stefan_Silviu]

The problem is, all this is known already. Hundreds of pages on forums from ppl that complain about all these issues. And nothing is done. But i appreciate to see a CC doing this tbh. This is a very important voice and approach in my opinion and there should be more of them. I thank you Skill for the courage to do this video and you have a new fan. Hope they change some things in game.

[JorgeAraujo]

Touched a lot of bases and forgot the cheapest, dirtiest mechanic in the game: charging cash to demount a piece of equipment. THAT shouldn't ever be in the game, no matter what's the excuse.

[juustem]

I agree and stopped playing this game after 8 years. Sadly WarGaming will not change anything and will milk as long as they can. They don't care about retention, every player that leaves will be replaced by someone else who will be enticed to put in some money. What I am saying is that the goals of the players/community and WarGaming is not the same.

[Twas-RightHere]

Can we also talk about how they introduced new skills but didn't give us anything to change our skills with, not even a skill retraining discount?!?!

[JFskeezix]

After 9 years I finally stopped playing. WoT is just no more fun.

[spanishmarc]

100% in agreement with you. My wallet is currently closed to Wargaming.

[littleafterall]

I am one of those who doesn't watch Skill's streams as his "style" doesn't suit me, but... I am saying that he is great player and he understands game and game mechanics perfectly. At the end, man 3-marked every single tank in the game. I agree on every question he raised here. He is *completely* right about everything. Especially regarding paying money for such a game.

It would be great seeing other streamers raising their voice/opinion about current state of the game.

They should be sued for false advertising and hidden facts
