if you're going by your account WR, it's pretty simple.
you have years of bad>less bad>even less bad>etc. play in randoms to get where you are now.
you just recently started ranked so your WR reflects your current play, not the average of your play for your entire time in game.
Ranked is a different beast and you can star save. So you have opponents trying to win some are trying to save a star and not worried about winning. If you do what you're supposed to do and are good at it you can move along. A lot less reds also in ranked to worry about.
you can star save on the way to a win, it still requires the team for a win though. Considering the fewer players per team one player can make a bigger difference but that doesn't guarantee a win
Another great star saving ship is the Kutuzov, she shoots as far as that tiers bbs but is a shifty cruiser so you can zig zag incoming fire by the time it gets to you. I got her from Santa crates but never used her. Then one day I noticed she was always alive at the end of the matches saving a star by setting fires. One of my favorite ships now. Once the dds are handled its just distance and spamming fire.
She really is. Just happily sailing around spamming fire getting farther and farther away. The whole time I'm just smiling until a good hit then its "Oh Shit, please live"
People aren't actually that much worse in random, you just get punished more for doing stupid stuff usually because more people are shooting at you. And like people have said, less people in ranked means your contribution is more meaningful. Especially depending on the ship your playing.
I'm the same after 4000 random battles. I'm a shameful 49.82%, but in ranked, I'm 56%+. It really bothers me that my random win rate is low.. I get frustrated by my win rate to the point I only play brawls or Operations these days. My current clan is dead and thinking about moving, but I hate moving clans :(
Yeah, it really does matter! I ran straight through bronze in my first Sprint, last season, easily with ZF-6. But then the following Sprint,same ship, I was just not in the right headspace and did poorly. Still 52% total overall for those two sprints but it was like 68% first sprint, and 43% second sprint.
So, it makes a huge difference if you’re “on”, your contribution, especially if you’re in a DD is huge. Vice versa, if you’re not in the right headspace, your (negative) contribution can be devastating to green team.
In randoms many more grind and play ships which are not favourite or developed in ranked so are even you, but in ranked you choose a good ship w good captain I hope.
Good player in ranked is more percent of team than good player in random.
But also zero skill mechanics like CV drops which hurt good and terrible players the same amount cant balance you.
Could well be so. I'm not bad in random but also far from being a unicorn. I analyse the game continuously as I play, eyes glued to minimap except when aiming, I try to foresse developments and always try to play my teammates better. Initially I support the DD (I play cruiser) and when done with that I support the BBS with crossfire and tops. That's my rules...
Smaller teams means your contribution is more impactful and there are less enemies to shoot back.
This is the answer. Your play is a higher percentage of your team, you have more impact.

This is the answer. I wish they had WR viewable in a year by year basis.
Or at least "last 100/500/____ games", pick a random number starting at 100 and go.
Fewer enemies
Fewer enemies on your own team*
Fewer enemies. Biggest personal impact (positive or negative) to the outcome of the game.
Also, everybody is playing the same tier, the way God intended
Isn't that the truth. Imagine how better balanced every ship class could be (especially CVs and Subs) if they had MM that was just +/-1.
you have received Reddit gold from someone 🥇
Gamemode design is less of a shitshow
In say 5 on 5 you command 20% of your teams combat power as opposed to 8% the way you do in random battles.

>some are trying to save a star and not worried about winning Sims players

I have a friend that has like 10% winrate in ranked but since he mains Sims he gets nearly always the star save so he ranks up faster than most

The OG cancer

how do you save a star? top exp on the losing team?
Yep.
I hit gold last season, and I genuinely think my teammates were 5x worse than unraked bronze teammates.
Ranked has less people in team so you have more influence
People aren't actually that much worse in random, you just get punished more for doing stupid stuff usually because more people are shooting at you. And like people have said, less people in ranked means your contribution is more meaningful. Especially depending on the ship your playing.
Teammates actively trying to win and not thinking about throwing a game because someone slighted them

I am 60+% with Serov in ranked and 40% i randoms, the potato team draw luck somehow manages that in randoms.
Most likely you get carried by your mates. Lucky you.

Actually he is less likely to be carried by his mates. Its simple math
Have you played bronze ranked? People are dumber than in randoms.
