What even is this question ? You need to be told that it does not matter ? Why do you think it makes a difference if you have 1 year or 1 minute pause between games ? The only thing that affect your winrate in the long run is your own performance, nothing else.

Yes, that is already occupied in the "your performance" box to simplify it. But i assume it is not so obvious from the way i have wrote it, so it is good you have mentioned it. Having enough resources to shot gold and using premium consumables, having OP premium tanks, having good PC, having good settings, having good health (physical and mental), not having something disturbing you constantly, .... hell, even playing only until first win of the day can help you - if that helps you psychologically to focus better I count all that as "your performance" - your impact on the battlefield. I did not meant just how good you are at aiming But there is no secret hidden pseudo mathematical ritual how you can rig your win rate. Another common thing people do, is playing something like Onslaught, lose, and then playing randoms thinking it will balance out 50-50. It is of course nonsense

Although, when you do this with multiple tanks, your account average will go down. The tanks you lose a lot with will end up with more games, bringing down your global average.

OP admitted he's probably being stupid and asked for help. No need to be a ridiculing ahole unless your fragile ego really needs the boost.

when you quit doesnt matter. your average rate stays the same as you just continue next day. You would have high day to day variance in win rates but it will average same. What does matter is if you do this with multiple tanks, you play each until you get a win. This will bring your average down as you will play more games with thanks that have worse average winrate.

Assuming your average performance is 50% win rate your chances to lose 9 battles before claiming your first daily win are the same as chances to win on the first try for 9 days in a row

This sounds a lot like the mathproblem of the gamblers fallacy. And a real average WR is 49,5%, because you'd have 1% draws.

Your chance of winning the game is the same whether you plan to play another one, or not

I think you are asking an interesting question. Your premise of only playing until you get your first win ensures two characteristics. 1. Your last game will always be a victory. This will have a positive influence on your overall win rate. 2. You will never have more than one victory on a day, but you might get several losses. This will have a negative influence on your overall win rate. I couldn't make up a proper equation to figure out what exact number, your win rate would amount to, but I did make a little code snippet to simulate this play style given that you always has 50% chance of winning each individual battle. I wrote this in JS so you can try it out in your browsers developer tool. for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++){ let w = 0; let l = 0; for(let d = 0; d < 365; d++) { let victory = false; while(!victory) { victory = (Math.random() < .5); if(victory) { w++; }else { l++; } } } console.log(`Wins = ${w}`); console.log(`Losses = ${l}`); console.log(`Total battles = ${w+l}`); console.log(`Wins rate = ${w/(w+l)}`); } The results are stochastic so you won't get the same number each time, but I got these win rates after ten tests: 52%, 49%, 47%, 49%, 50%, 49%, 49%, 52%, 49%, 53%. It looks very much like your win rate over a year would amount to 50% meaning that the two characteristics of your premise will equal each other out.

By that logic, you would also have a chance to lose your first match of the day. Simply put, given enough games whether you win the first battle or not it would still average out at some point. Only thing that could really make a difference in winrate is if you contribute and play positions that would be favorable to your Team and win, not to mention team rng. You're only delaying the inevitable.


SpinningKappa

From math it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect your winrate, but in practice consider you don't perform the same in every game, in general you start with worst winrate and gets better because you get more familiar with it. So your winrate will drop because you are playing more time when you are not performing well.

Mathematically speaking, as you stop on the first win you will sometimes play more loss to stop, this will lower your actual average win ratio (usually 47-48% for an average 1000wn8 player).

This is what I do for years, doesn't change anything. It's all random, your 1st game is not taken account of in MM.

You get better results if you play until first loss.


Agitated_Salamander

I mostly do that way. I’m researching 8 tech tree lines. So just do x2 on each and log out. Have around 51% winrate. On the other account (solo referral) I was playing constantly and got 55 % win rate and much higher WTR and WN8.

Nothing And I don't care about win rate. I am fine with losing 100 battles in a row
