Skill based match making is unlikely to be the best! - Same tier MM is li...

Draschel:  False. And using your large fancy blue font, won't make it true Circonflexes and Skill4ltu both support +1/-1 MM and the removal of +2/-2. I am sure many other very good public figures, think the same way. Stat padding, means sitting in tiers 1,2,3,4,5 and playing tanks like Panzer IV/V, T67, KV1, or the old S35CA. Or exclusively doing that in the SA serverAnother form would be WR padding, low tier 3-man platoon jumping, in tanks that skew matches. Like Pz B2, Valentine II, T127, Etc.  But the minute these individuals step outside into tiers 7,8,9,X they immediately struggle. This is what stat padding is. You may think, or like to think, that a person who knows positions and how to deploy distance/camo to their advantage, sits at the back near the red - and almost passively tallies damage in something like S1 or Leopard PTA is a farming scumbag - but if this were the case and so simple, why aren't everyone doing it? Why do so many struggle at it? If a good player, in their top tier tanks, are crushing and spanking poor players in their low tier tanks .....it doesn't explain why poorer quality players in their high tier tanks still perform poorly. Or the inverse, good players in their low tier tanks still, guess what, performing admirably and contributing their fare share. You need to think more of what you say, rather than just being callous
