KRZY-Takes: What do you do when you are bottom tier?

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Match Maker is the best, and always has my best interests at heart... This statement plus many more have been used in sarcasm since the game began. I am sure many players have other choice words to say about it, but that is not my question. My question is, what do you do when the beloved MM deals you a bad hand tier-wise with tanks?  The most recent changes have allowed more variations in the games when it comes to who you are battling, and at least it won't stick your tier 5 tank in a battle only against other tier 7's. That used to be the case back in the day.
