World of Tanks Blitz [] continues to evolve, and the latest 2.9 update, which has just gone live, introduces a huge change in the game's matchmaking system. After today, you'll only get matched with tanks +1/-1 off your tier rather than playing with a Tier VII against a Tier X (and barely making a dent). This change should make players feel more important in every battle rather than occasionally feeling like they could play no part in their team's win or defeat. There were times in the game when my tank wasn't able to penetrate the enemy's higher tier tank, which resulted in me feeling like an overweight car rather than a war machine. Hopefully this change will make playing the game more fun.
The other major addition is Training Rooms, custom matches where players can pick a map, choose vehicles, invite friends over, and have a blast (literally and metaphorically). I'm really happy with this addition since now I can play any map I want at any time. As with every update, there are plenty of nerfs and buffs to various tanks, a reworked Black Goldville map, new legendary camouflages and improved British tank camouflage, profitability has been adjusted for some vehicles, and the regular bug fixes. The update is live, and you can read the patchnotes . Go check out the new matchmaking.
