Is the matchmaker really that bad?

The notorious matchmaker sends most players crazy. 'Why am I facing an E75 in my 38na?' Why am I facing tanks double my tier?
Its something we have all asked our-selves, why? Why has it happened to us? Why wont they fix it? (*Followed by the tears*).

I have used scouts (a 38na). I have used SPGs and TDs, Mediums and Heavy tanks. Sure not every game am I at the top of the team. But ask yourself would you want to? For me I find it fun killing tanks or at least damaging them 2 tiers higher then me; as well as killing tanks below me. However if you have only tier 7 in a match constantly how boring would it become? Facing the same tank over and over again. Sure, at the moment you will face the same tank, but their is variety, not the same 5 different models repeated. You will face tier 4s, tier 5s, 6s and 7s.
Ask yourself this, have you ever considered why? Clearly if you say no you haven't watched the specific tank type trailer, launched by wargaming.net months ago- before the game was fully released.

The most common argument is that scouts are put in with tanks to high for it, but I disagree. A significant majority of scouts rush at the start. Dying within 30 seconds and then complaining it was unfair. But in my experiences the best way to scout is to WAIT. One game I was scout in the 38na and I waited first, something generally unheard of by scouts. After a minute or two I set off. Straight through to the other teams base, arty down and I had tanks chasing me. At this point you are probably thinking wow how interesting your going to die. But no, my teams arty helped me, picked off the mediums chasing me around, while I continuously scouted them and other tanks.

My point is this, don't start moaning about the matchmaker. It is fine, believe it or not. You are not suppose to be at the top of the team, all of the time. Have fun and enjoy yourself.
