I was just in a losing battle where a two person platoon did nothing during the battle.  One drove up a little from the spawn and fired 4 misses.  The other turned his turret at the start, fired a shot, then waited a few minutes to become target practice.  Both had premium level 7 Boulders.  The better player had a wn8 of 666 (rounded up) while the other had a wn8 of 10.4 with a 41% win rate.  Is someone's cat playing the game?  The summary screen also showed that player getting 100 XP.   It is quite a disadvantage to start the battle 13 vs. 15.

Sounds like the types of players filled on my teams the last two nights...

His stats should read I'm a Potato, Sorry for lowing your WN8.

[MayorDaley1]

I am not terribly concerned with playing to achieve a high wn8.  I have seen enough high wn8 players lose games through selfish play (hiding in the back, farming damage in a lost cause) that high wn8 doesn't impress me.  However, it takes more of a concerted effort to get 10.4 than 2000, and you are absolutely hurting every team you are on.

I imagine you could get a better damage rate sitting at the spawn, raising your barrel and firing into the air until you run out of ammo than the wn8 for either of the players in the OP.

I mean some players are so bad they have under zero.

 

My favorite has to be the guy with several thousand games in the T-54 we found, he had a 64 wn8 and one pen every 3-4 games on average. Best player ever.

[T00_Late_Checkm8]

sub 400 wn8. Seen it once. Everybody has equal rights to enjoy the game, however players like these drag everybody down.

Well... im gonna sound like a snob here, but im seeing a lot of players who's only plan seems to be dying early in the game.

In my perception, everybody on my team and those i face is +/- 1k wn8 and i don't think im far from the truth.

You could literally get better WN8 by just pushing L3 at the start and direct your tank to the red spawn and than go and scramble your eggs or whatever. You will get a spot or two some assist dmg, your SR will suffer of course, but at least your WN8 will be decent.

You're right, I remember seeing some AFK pro's stats and he had negative value WN8. I don't know how is he managing to achieve that (lol, achieve), but that particular guy has over 20k games on his account.

[Catfishguy1977]

22,800 battles, wn8 334.75

He's a friend of mine, doesn't care about stats.

[Haukkis]

My friend has played 2370 battles, wn8 523. He sucks and he knows it... and thus stopped playing World of Tanks

[LadyTanker]

20%-ish

[TocFanKe4]

Non AFK? Because I've seen AFK players in the teens

[theSwansonFTW]

For about 6 months I would get put on the same team as a particular player. They would invariably be top tier, they would be in a heavy and they would camp spawn hard. As I was normally bottom tier There was very little I could do to carry and the games would be hard losses.

They had a WN8 of about 400 which is bad  enough but when combined with always being top tier and being in a heavy made them just about the worst player I had the misfortune to be stuck with.

Afk players are the worst part of online games. They don't care about how much harder they make the game for the team they are on. It's insulting that most of them believe they have some special right to do nothing and get the same rewards as people who actually intend to enjoy the game as it was intended. I think that is also why so many people hate wallet warriors.

He should have given a shot at improving. It's actually very easy in this game with war stories and a friend who knows how to play. He could easily be 1-2k wn8 in a week or two in recents if he spends a few hours a week training on aiming and map deployment.

 

Pick him up a decent premium and give him a chance to learn in a tank that won't lose him silver.

Problem is, my friend just wants to play and have fun, he don't want to watch tutorials, read guides or anything like that, he just want to relax and play. And because World of Tanks is extremely complicated game with ton of different stuff to learn... he has given up. Besides, he HATES being bottom tier and he feels grinding takes waaaayyyyy too much time... 150k-250k xp to research tier 9 or 10 vehicle is waaayyy too much in his opinion. I have tried to cheer him up and tryied to boost his morale and guide him... but he has given up. And he's not gonna spend any more money in this game (he had premium time for 2 years and has one tier 8 premium tank, Jagtiger 8.8) because he feels it's just a waste.

If only that was an acceptable excuse. I have seen 6 year olds better at fortnight than the grown men who populate the majority of this game.

I wouldn't post that. People have been banned for naming and shaming themselves before.
