There's a big difference between "variety and challenge" and "unfair advantage". Is it variety and challenge" to ask a preteen to fight John Cena? Because that's what this feels like.
Do you want to be the preteen or do you want to be John Cena?
It's early days for your tier VI tanks, and I guess that you haven't really upgraded anything if much. That is going to hurt you regardless of how well you play. So let's see how well you play in lower tier tanks.
Mmmmm. The answer is that the words "play" and "well" do not go together in your case.
I wanted to start with the Sav m/43. As it is a TD, its primary role is damage-dealing. We both have a similar number of battles in this, but the difference is that you have probably played it as a new player and I played it fully upgraded with Free XP. I didn't like it, but my average damage is 313 HP/battle and yours is 76 HP/battle. That's not very good, is it when you consider that this is a tier III TD and you are not doing enough damage to kill a tier I light tank.
You have 56 battles in the T-28. This is quite a popular vehicle and I have seen good players do very, very well in it. I recently bought it back but sold it after only a few battles. Most of my battles in this were played a long time ago as a beginner. So maybe I will look at this next.
So that is more average damage than you and still it is not enough to maintain a positive WR. The colours on the right are performance indicators (called Wn8), with black being the worst and red almost as bad. Even with approaching double your average damage, you can see that I don't perform well enough in this tank, whereas you are in a tier IV medium, only just doing enough damage to kill a tier I tank.
Your most-played tank is the T-50. Lights are among the hardest vehicles to play successfully. By this I mean that you can play them well, as well as anyone, in a scouting role, but the rest of the team might not hit a darned thing. To truly be successful, you have to be prepared to deal damage as well. Oh dear.
I was terrible in the T-50, but I still have over double your damage. I played mine back when it regularly saw tier VIII, so scouting was its primary role. For a moment, let's consider other light tanks that I owned which I played as scouts maybe with a little more experience.
The Leopard stats are appalling, but as a tier V I still managed 223 HP/battle damage. The Chaffee was equally bad, but still I managed 246 HP/battle average damage. The AMX ELC bis was played ONLY as a newbie (or noob) but I still managed 227 HP/battle.
The M7 is now classed as a light, and I do own it, but I mostly played it as a medium. The Crusader, however, is now classed as a medium, but I played it as a light to get 3 MoE. I have hardly played it as a medium, so as a tier V light tank, I have 497 HP/battle damage.
The one I do want to mention is my Ke-Ho. Tier IV light tank that never had scout match-making, so it never did see tier VIII. This is a tier IV LIGHT tank. My average damage in it is 477 HP/battle. This is a battle as BOTTOM tier as well, BTW. http://wotreplays.eu/site/4412410#murovanka-powjay-type_5_ke-ho and this is one where we won. http://wotreplays.eu/site/3702219#mountain_pass-powjay-type_5_ke-ho
THAT is what you can do with LT class vehicles if you try to actually fight rather than sit in a bush for several minutes.
All in all, it is difficult to assess your performance from your stats, except to say that you are not yet a good player. You are possibly rushing up the tiers a little fast for your ability. You may well have the potential to be a great player, but you have to learn the game before that will be possible. I can't make direct comparisons between what I have achieved and what you have achieved due to the low number of battles that you have played and- such as with the Sav m/43- with the knowledge that I played this fully upgraded from the start, whereas you probably did not.
If you are going to start threads to rant and rave, then I guess you care. If you did not care, you would simply walk away. Believe me, this MM will NOT change- at least not any time soon- and I, for one, would not like to see it change providing we get a fair share of top, middle and bottom tier battles (which is not exactly that way at the moment, unfortunately). As I said earlier, the battles you remember are the ones where you came out as top player as bottom tier, and there are lots of them on my replays. Here's a nice tier VII one that I am particularly pleased with. Note the assist damage that pushed me to the top on XP. http://wotreplays.eu/site/4787088#glacier-powjay-su-101
It is especially gratifying as I despise that map and it is now the one that I have permanently blocked.
