games 2 levels above you - not worth playing

Draschel:  well technically, you didn't answer me. The game isn't running 3/5/7 anymore every battle. I can see more than 3  +2 tiered tanks. What?  And while there aren't crazy differences between tiers 6-7 or 9-10, there are notable differences in tank capabilities between 5-6,  7-8,  8-9If 5/10 is the most common +1 / -1 MM spread, having to deal with 5 +1 tanks is quite a ways better than dealing with the same 5  1 tier up tanks, +3 more 2 tiers up. Are you kidding me? And in that 5/10, 10 tanks are within my tier, whereas a 3/5/7 only 7 are. It compounds. And answering, yes 3  +2 tier tanks can easily sway battles, while  3  potato +2 tier tanks on your team may easily doom battles too. I don't know why you are getting fixated on just three tanks though, when it is more than that. Balance of power and thrill, shouldn't rest on the shoulders of a trio of players in a match. It should be spread out amongst more, and while doing so, also having the magnitude of that power reduced as well.
