Turn the game off

I have a rule, lose 3 in a row and log off. pretty simple and has kept my sanity in this game.

I stopped caring about winning and it improved my sanity.

Lost streaks only really happen in those 15-0 games. its at that point where you know you cant do anything and the MM is just being an a hole. Turning the game off is the best option

Same advice applies to other things, as well. When I was working in a truck shop, one of the senior mechanics told me that sometimes, you need to walk away for a bit. Even something as trivial as a bolt you can't get out can piss a guy off. He said to go get a drink, sit down for 5 minutes, stuff like that, then come back and you'll have that bolt out in short order

From the opposite perspective if you are having a good session with 60-70% win rate then quit whilst you are ahead and bask in the satisfaction.

"Play a different game for a while" That's rich coming from you QB :p

I've noticed that when I lose a couple of games, MM seems to load my teams with poor players for the on-going games. When I win , the ability of my teammates improves magically for the next few games. When I'm losing, to break this cycle, I will change servers (I'm in EU) and/or join/exit a game several times in a row before I enter a game. This often breaks the MM cycle. To win - I also often go back to one of my favourite tanks at low tier and notch a couple of wins before heading back up the tiers again. Finally - there are certain times of day (weekends in morning + weekdays late afternoon) when lots of players havent got a clue and just want to race around having fun. Its fine if they want to do that until you are trying to complete missions , grind xp or actually want to win. Answer is to play later in evening or at another time when casual players have got bored.

Key is not to care too much. Screw marks and wins Screw FOMO and marathons

Usually I only get upset if I play badly these days. If I play and lose, well...I played well. Regarding Bond Equipment, I agree somewhat that giving the best players the best equipment isn't the best of ideas but on the other hand , if you're willing to torture yourself grinding Onslaught you deserve a decent reward....

I uninstalled the game for good about a month ago (after 12 years) because for 3 days in a row I did not have a single victory. 23 losses on 1 day and 31 on the next and that was it. Not coming back ever.

I had 15 losses in a row, realised I wasn't having fun any more, and uninstalled. Never gone back.

Been on a lose streak for about the last few weeks on my f2p. Feels like every time I almost reach 50% wr the matchmaker slaps me down with horrendous losses over and over even when I am the top performer. But I think when you start on a lose streak it has an effect on your play because you just start to think "sod it. I can't be arsed" when 13 of your team all go to one flank and still lose it.

Long ago I bought a tog. ive since gone free to play, and have earned a bounty turbo, rammer, and armor. It's the fastest TOG in the galaxy.

TURN THE GAME OFF.............OR SURF FOR 30 MINUTES AFTER EVERY LOSS................

I "love" the games when 2 minutes in we are somehow down 5 - 0 and I want start another game but have to suffer and finish the current one. I use to take it seriously but power creep has convinced me that the game should not be taken seriously. I have tanks in my garage that were once decent (like the T-34) that are basically heat sinks in today's games but I still will take out once in a while because I like it. I have "chat" disabled so I can only imagine what my teammates are saying or thinking when they see it in play. When playing in a Tier X match the game often becomes "World of WAIT" as both sides hunker down for fear of being blown to bits by being slightly aggressive. What might improve things is some bonus for aggression (not sure the math behind that). Anyway, I still enjoy the game but do not take it too serious.

the best way to stop a loss streak is to uninstall. as there is no point playing a broken game ... 15-1 simulator.

How to stop loss streaks? Just stop playing XD

Hi Quicky, So this is weird to post... but I run ftp strictly now after a decade of paying for everything. Finally, through frustration, I just stopped paying. I now run ALL of my tanks with NOTHING on them as I just die just as fast as usual with everything on them or with nothing oin them so why pay for that... honestly, like bond crap and bla bla bla. I just rely on my BRAIN... and I am much more careful when playing. Now weird stuff here...my wins literally doubled, my earnings tripled most importantly..my health in real life has improved...lol I never get upset now as I'm handicapped from the start, this makes me work harder, think more strategic, and thus play BETTER! I will never go back to loading up my tanks with all this gimmick crap, I just build the crews, and play smart. Its a weird thing I found by a fluke but I am happier in the game now. I also started anew ftp account to grind all of the tanks this way and its a blast. not for everyone I know but it's good for me.

1:54 "Go cuddle a.... (oh shit, noone from my viewers has gf)... a dog"

After so many consecutive 1-15, 2-15 etc, consecutive losses, I just Log off for a bit, login later and I swear 99% of the time its back to its normal crazy RNG self...

By logging off. You lose until the algorithm wants you to lose. Even with super experienced, high WR, 3 men platoons. Kinda obvious after 12+ years of playing. In old times, switching servers fixed it, now you just log off, try again tomorrow. ;)

Thank you Quickybaby, your straight forward and straight opinions about the game continue to help me!

I don't even bother with winrates anymore. I just set a quota of damage for every tank I play. It's only when I don't reach that quota that I get upset.

There are so many problems in this game, it used to be a whole lot better. Now its just a random bounce lottery. Bouncing on Arty/Lights/Snipers with no armor etc when fully aimed, way too much RNG! Heavies hitting across the map, is stupid they should not be able to hit from a large distance!? Arty pulling of miracle shots and kill?? A BZ-176 in the game which is basically a tier 10. Match making that does not take into account the type of tank, such as assault or sniper!? And then the corridor maps, every map is turned into a tunnel with rocks and are too small to really flank!!

best way to deal with losses is to uninstall the game. trust me

Man you should see my loss streaks, some times it last the entire week with WR down to 10-15% I sent many tickets to WG but they always denied it, in these battles my teams got evaporated in less than 5m, red team cause fire, ammo rack, gun out and crew killed to me and my team tanks from the 1st hit.

I really diagree regarding the effect of the bond or even experimental equipment. The vast majority of the players (even in high tiers) struggles with the very basics of the game. Until this changes, I don't think it matters that the top 10% of the players have 1-2% advantage on their equipments.

My negative "record" is 1 win in 10 battles played. 10% win rate. In these 10 battles I was top damage dealer 5 times, 2nd in damage 2 times and 3rd in damage 1 time. Mind blowing! Now I have set the rule for myself that when I have a win rate of 30% or lower after 10 battles played, I am out until tomorrow. Plain and simple. Helps immensly. And if I have a win rate of 60% or better after 10 games I continue playing as long as I stay over that mark. Means when I am in danger of dropping below 58 or 59% I am out as well, otherwise I continue until I lose motivation for this day.

this weekend I am 3 and 34... nah walking away doesn't help when the game says F U.

Most of us are not 60% win rate players getting 6k damage average. So when we're stuck in games with 42% win rate players and the score is 0-4 two minutes in......I think the MM is a part of the problem but not as big a problem as the players who put in no effort to learn. If I hit 3straight losses I log off and do something else. I don't struggle anymore.

Most of the time I play well and end up near the top but it's like the team sucks and there is nothing I can do about it. I wish players could put more effort into learning to play the tanks and use the game mechanics better. WG should also do more regarding that.

I find one or two days a week just suck no matter what I do and I accept that. What pees me off are those games where RNG is just ridiculously stupid when I'm doing the right thing.

The frustration from a losing streak isn’t just about the percentage loss displayed on the board; it’s also about the feeling of being manipulated. Imagine experiencing a losing streak for 5 or 6 consecutive games, leaving you frustrated for 1 or 2 hours. Then, the system attempts to compensate by granting you consecutive wins. In the next hour, you might win 4 out of 6 games with ease, like a 15:2 scoreline. These overwhelming victories leave you with no sense of participation or accomplishment. The truth is, most players just want normal, real random games. They dislike matchmaking that feels manipulated or overly influenced.

i know why i lose, it's because i suck and barely have the time to learn the game and when i do have time to sit down for games i make mistakes and then get yelled at by the rest of the team.

I started 6 months ago after playing for 7 years on console. Mentally, it was a good move. Spent far too much on console to just abandon it (literally have every tank), so am going at a sane pace (of spending and playing) on PC. Enjoying it so far!

The k-91PT does have a model behind tracks just like the tier 10 med K91, I usually have the same problem of dying first or second in the game but still being top 1-2 and loosing and at that point i just loose it all, thanks for the vids and streams!!

The only thing that is pisses me off is that wg deny the fact that the mm is rigged, when the second day of loose streak starts i begin to drive in water at 0-3 immediate,wont be xp and credit to farm, and if it make the playing experience worst for both teams, well, this is how wg want ti to be deal with it.

Real nice 2 know unicums struggle too - nice vid QB!

Not only consumables are difference between premium players and free to play. Putting consumables on every tank is not even affordable, specially at lower tiers and not keeper tanks. And than you need to do sometimes 100k xp to even get the best gun, turret etc. Imagine playing a stock average tier 8 tank like kv4 against teams with 2/3 premium tanks. That is like playing a tier 7 against a tier 9. Wargaming should really do something about those premiums cause it ruims a lot of the fun of the 'free to play' game

Until recently the most I lost in a row was 4 games. Now it's up to 5. Been playing since 2011. As quicky mentioned sometimes I walk away and take a break but another thing that helps me is that when losing a few in a row I go town to tier 5 and 6 and what I find is that I am less stressed and have more fun. I get some of the losses back then go back up in tier.

I think the spirit of this game was lost a long time ago. There is so much pressure to play well and win with missions and everything it takes the original "lets shoot stuff in tanks and have fun doing it" away. This video only solidifies that makes me even less interested in actually playing tanks.

2 Things : 1 : If it get´s to bad, stop playing this Game and go to another for the day or spent time with Tanja. 2 : You call 5 Games lost Streak High ?.... Hah ! Top mine with 15 in a Row !

today i played 10 battles. according to tomato gg, i played for 3800 wn8. i had 30% win rate so 3 wins and 7 loses. but i never have had a problem with that. i play for that amazing shot, amazing round or fun moments. sometiems there are none of those moments but that s fine. that makes them better when they happen. have a great day everybody!

As a New F2P player starting TODAY, Thanks! I know it’s hard as a F2P, but that’s how I enjoy games! By defeating the opponent, when they have better components! :) good luck to y’all out there!

Good comment about harsh challenges for those starting out!

Some very good points. I’ve noticed lately that a big factor in whitewash games is that the team won’t take or even attempt to take a crucial position. Lakeville, one tank gets spotted in the mid and everyone on the way to town stops to fire and then just sits there. The team is then spread too thin to properly support each other if the opposite team is swarming together.

I find a very, very low correlation between how well I'm playing in a session (on average) and whether or not I'm winning or losing. I also never seem to find these games where you ready up in a tier 10 tank and drop into a game that also contains tier 8 tanks. Even when I play my 10's, I'm always bottom tier. Edit: When my fully aimed, green-pen indicated, tier 10 premium heavy tank round hits the exact spot I was aiming at and...bounces anyway? That ain't me.

The best way to stop a loss streak is to loudly state that you've lost the last X number of games and tell everyone they need to step it up and stop being idiots.

*Talks about premium consumables and bond equipment, yet still does all the tank reviews stacked to the brim with premium consumables, field mods, and bond equipment.

I usually limit my losses per session. If I am on a lose streak, I shut down the game and do sometihng else. Watch TV, order some food, etc. Then when I feel refreshed, I go back into the game.

Some people take the game too seriously. I used to in the past. But its just a game. Like QB said, just take a step away, even if its just a moment. If im on a loss streak i say "oh well" and play a different game

You don't need gold on Onslaught, only if you want the bonds shop, but the yearly reward for getting 3 silvers will get you two pieces of selectable bonds equipment as well. Or one piece just for reaching bronze 3 times.

thank you for this vid, it made so much sense and greatly simplified the insurmountable rabbit holes that I'd fallen down dealing with WoT lately.....thanks to your video, I'm walking away until September, I've been on every day and night since I opened this account february 2023, and with all of the things going on with WoT, and the ever increasing disparities along with the losing streaks that can't seem to be broken,it's just too much, not worth existential crisis on a daily basis....it's just not, so I'm off until my next Birthday and hopefully things will be better upon my return, not looking forward to the Bot-Laden warmup mode that's going to be awaiting me....I'll still be binging all of your content and staying active on twitch with the follows as well....but it's time to let my tracks cool off and get a bit dusty and rusty for now smh imho lol

This is just so true. WG are constantly giving the best players the best equipment onky they can get theirs hands on. Also the free to play aspect economically in like 1000 games is just a loss of credits and progressing is nearly forbidden, unless you oay pay for premium.

Up till about 3 years ago, I used to get losing streaks that ran into the middle teen numbers. I think my record was losing 22 games in a row. Statistically it was supposed to be impossible. Even if I were trying to help the other team, there was no way my efforts would have yielded those numbers. I know I didn't just "Get good" either. I've actually dropped in my overall Win Rate the past few years from a 51% to something like a high 49% (haven't checked those numbers in a while bc I simply don't care any more and don't play anymore). I knew something was 'off' because my shots would always pattern around the target or I'd simply bounce/track. These losing streaks didn't matter if I were on Premium time and/or using Reserves. Logging out and back in didn't make any difference. Breaking my keyboard didn't work either. The trick to stop the bleed was to either quit and wait 3 days before logging back in OR I would play my statistically horrible tanks for a few games and then play my avg tanks. I'd have to stay away from my high win rate tanks for a few days otherwise I'd consistently only win 20% with them. I think it was 2021 that these losing streaks just stopped happening. I would still have 30% win rate days, sometimes, but these double digit streaks just stopped happening.

An example game from my current lose streak - I go the best spotting bush on Lakeville in my AMX elc bis with maxed out crew and perks. I mean, I can see practically the whole map. All enemy team manage get to town without being spotted. Then without moving, firing or even being proxied I get spotted and my "team" steamrollered. GG RNG.

Win rates these days are pretty terrible…sometimes I try switching tiers but basically I go best out of 4 games…if I’m losing I just stop. The MM is really wrecking this game…reduced my gaming by %90 …WG seems to want this 😯

I have long been adopting a simple strategy: keep playing nonstop when win streak and stop playing after ANY loss (daily missions completed). No matter how great my stats are in that game, quit immediately. My recent wn8 is now 3000 and recent win rate is 60% whereas previously they were 1600 and 49%. This strategy also applys to onslaught and that got me Champion. From silver to gold to Champion, it's just that easy, stop playing after ANY loss.

Biggest problem is MM , and OP tank that is the biggest problem is the BZ-176, easy solution make it a tier 10 tank... fits right in tier 10.

Best tips I would say, works all the time!

I'm a relatively new player and can already see the money pit this game could become. I'm using it as a change of flavour from my usual games (open world adventure types) and have no intention of playing above tier VI (I have my Cromwell, I'm happy).

My max loss streak In WoT that I know of is 13 losses. I was not even mad. you can't win them all.

Watched this on twitch live. Was an awesome game. Played very well to hold that team together

If you play and you lose and you keep playing I’m convinced that the MM algorithm takes that into account. The more you play and lose the more you lose because the engagement algorithm determines that you losing keeps you engaged. You can see it when MM is trying to give you a win or a loss by looking at the average skill of the players in your team vs the other team. The MM is there to create engagement and sticky players that’s it. It’s not there to be fair it’s there to keep you playing.

The best games are between 6 am and 10am. Thats when all the dumb kids are sleeping and the og’s can play

Being the top player of every losing team is probably the most frustrating thing in this game, my record is 16 losses in a row. So I quit for a year.

I do not play on pc but the same rng or matchmaker shenanigans count for Console. The game can turn against you from nowhere. I have bin playing very good for months on end now. And yesterday and today i lost 32 out of 40 matches its devastating how it wrecks your mood and confidence in yourself! Always getting put in teams with bad players that die in the first 2 to 3 minuts leaving you alone to be swarmed by 5 to 6 enemy’s at once ruining your game. Just so frustrating!

I noticed that your aiming reticule has 2 dots one fixed and one that seems to float around it. Please can you explain what that is, the pros and cons of & how to get it?

This is why win rate means nothing. You are not the only person on the team. Ya, you can carry games, you can play a great game, you can do what you do best.... but if you have a failed team, you can't control that.

I'm sorry but I feel I need to make a correction. Bond equipment don't make people better. It gives them more of an advantage. You can have all the bell and whistles on your tank but be bad. It won't improve someone's skill, it just makes there tank better, not them. Rant over. Love the content

I haven't lost a game in over two weeks simply by not playing.

When i have a really bad Losing-Streak, i switch to Pz.Kpfw S35. It looks like that Tank has a Special Matchmaking, the average Winrate is much higher on S35 than on other Tanks, for me actually at 85 Percent...

how can you get these 3d skins without spending 5k gold oder buying the battlepass? or are the bond ones changing over time

I played 18 battles three days ago and had victories in 3. So I logged out. I only hung in there as long as I did to get the BP daily missions done. Oh, the other things I've noticed recently - even with my powerful tiers 9 and 10 soviet heavy tanks, I could not penetrate several tanks - including an EBR side on which had got itself jammed in a tight spot and couldn't get away. And obviously, another tank came along and did the job first shot. As a ten year veteran, I have noticed how the game has gone pear shaped WG. Get real please.

Ez answer. Play the tortoise

How do I deal with tilting? By jumping into KV-2. KV-2 can still have bad game, but KV-2 never have bad time.

Is easy to found the problem having losing teams Having tech tree tanks and outdated premium tanks fighting against BZ-176, Bourrasque, Skoda T-56 Why can't wargaming just make a separate battle where tech tree tanks vs tech tree tanks (yes I'm including artillery) while premium tanks gets special match maker where they don't have to fight artillery that way it is fun to play

mm trolling usually when I have loose when I thought I did nothing and see enemy team wit top 3 players with legend II and ACE III while we had at best gold III it always make me wonder wtf is going on in my 4/5 days sessions. nevermind those great shots at enemy 5 meters away where that round just dissapears or hits behind or ricochets of the flat side of amx 50 B, or apcr round bouncing of the turret of fv4005. you just gotta love this game

I don't EVER have a win streak of 4 or more wins in a row, however I do get losing streaks of 10 or more. In fact, I've had losing streaks go into the 20's and even 30 or more at a time (Spanning multiple days for the over 30 loss streak) yet I still have over 51.5% win rate and 1600 W8. So I'm an above avg player. I can tell you, changing it up doesn't work for me. Something else is at play that I have no control over.

I gave up on onslaught because of the rage, i got into silver league and then got into a massive lose streak that ended me back in the lower end of bronze and i havent played that mode since cause nothing you do will ever lead to a net win imo.

I feel that they should give new players a couple of pieces of bounty equipment fully upgrade and 30 de mounting kits in replacement of say gold or credits. Another idea I had was new accounts get a special directive 1 per account that allows you to boost a fully researched tech tree tank say T8 and below into a sudo prem tank. Say a 30% increase in credits and xp and cost credits/gold/bonds to remove it.

The best way to stop a loss streak is to log out and go do something else. '3 in a row---time to go!'

I go to my party tanks (not as effective as before but I still like them) KV-2 and other derp lords. If I can find a couple of mates TOG platoons :)

Get xvm, see that most games are won or lost before they start. Only if you have a top player or platoon on your team do you overcome those odds. Games with 4 or 5 players over 55% on one team, 8 or 9 under 47% and none over 50% on the other. Get that 5 or 6 times in a row.

Thanks QB

The last time I played wot is 2019, biggest loss streak is around 6, but then I become a mobile player and play blitz, 27 continous loss streak and in gods name I carry all those 27 continous game and still L until my phone battery is out. Until that point, WR is mostly luck in this kinda game, difference from cod or r6s, this game dependents on luck is insane.

Having some measure besides winrate to gauge performance is helpful - playing poorly and need to stop versus playing well and having a bit of bad luck.

i dont care win or lose. if it was a good fight, i had fun.

The advantage of a bonds aming device is 1%. Thats the amout it is better than a bounty aiming device. With the even bigger problem of ftp-players that their access is even more limited when it comes to bounty devices... With wot+ or 'some' gold you basicly can play every tank with bounty equip as long, as you have 1 set (aka 1 of each type) at hand. I ve seen ppl done it even before wot+ was in the game. It works fine as long as you dont switch too often between tanks: grinding a new tank, trying to mark it or simply play it till you reach the cap on its bp-points. The important part on loss streaks is to admit that you are part of the problem. :D Distracting yourself with anything for 20-30 minutes by doing something different usually helps. If you really dont find anything, you could try to switch the game mode. Like 1-2 rounds of frontline or whatever event mode is active.

Re the bond improved aiming - you can quite easily get a bounty improved aiming -8%, so only 1% lesser to the bond equipment without being a particularly brilliant (or even quite a poor) player - so not sure its that much of a thing to be upset about.

The worst thing of having a loss streaks for me is, you know it is a 0-15 lose game in the beginning of the game.

Once I had almost 30 loses in a row being 63% percent player 😅 also lost about 10 battles with clan mates that were 60+ win ratio folks. Did tons of damage and kills. How is this mathematically possible? I understand to lose 5-7 in a row, but 30 for a good player? Nah, need to discover how exactly mm is rigged 😬

Get into your favorite tank. If you still lose its a sign to do something productive with your time.

The simpler answer: KV-5

What I find works best in those situations is to think of my favourite tank and play with it. Usually I do pretty good in it, so even another loss doesn't matter that much. And tanks I like playing often ends up having a higher winrate than others 🤔😉

Do more is the key. Lots of players just hang back. Be 10% more aggressive. It goes along way.

Cut yer loss streak with an hourlong gooning sesh, works like a charm everytime

i lost 28 out of 29 matches last night. won one game, lost the rest. the fact i have not destroyed things in my rage is astonishing! xD

its every few days that the game says f you, you dont get a nice time today
