What is a reroll in WOT?

Answer

To reroll is to make a second account in hopes of playing better in public matches.

A reroll is the act of sending your battle results to another player. He will then make a decision about your battle based on his own opinion, where he could even decide not to accept it.

How does a player reroll? In the profile of any player that you are friends with, you can see an option for “Reroll”. After selecting this option, you will be asked whether you want to transfer or hold on to your current battle. Selecting “Transfer” will allow another WN8-calculator user to examine your recent performance!

A screenshot after I selected ‘Search Rerolls’ (a search was made for players with at least 50% win rate in Tier VIII). My account name is WhatsYourNickname (WN8: 3465).

When you select ‘Transfer’, the player with the most similar stats, who has not previously declined your battle invitation will reroll it.

If multiple players are similar enough for you, you can still ask them individually whether they want to accept your battle or not. If none of them accepts it, after an hour no one else can take over and your arena points will be reset. You have 24 hours to send your battle results. After an hour, if no reroll request is sent to another player, the battle will automatically be sent back to you

How do I receive a reroll? You can receive a random battle reroll from any player with 50%+ wn8 and tier VIII or higher tank. The following conditions must also be met: You have not accepted the previous roll yet (1 hr rule)

You are in queue for at least 30 minutes more If both of those conditions are not met within 24 hours, then it is likely that your roll has been assigned to someone else. Then the battle results will be reset and you have to wait again since you’re out of arena points. If there was noone with at least 50% wn8 and tier VIII or higher tank available to roll the battle, then you will receive a message that there is noone who can reroll your battles.

What is a reroll account?

To “reroll” is to create multiple accounts in an attempt to get the desired outcome, such as a key-exchange member or potent attack medal. People who reroll generally have bad luck with their first account and are starting over from scratch.

What does reroll mean in gaming?

“Reroll” is an old RPG term used for the situation when you want to try again on something. In old RPGs, players rolled dice to “determine” things about their character, such as what numbers were displayed on the dice and how this would affect the player’s stats.

What would be my winrate when using this system? ​

Well, it depends 🙂 On one hand your winrate with the [request reroll] button will be mostly 50% but with [accept] it’s going to be similar to the result of your teammate (as in 90-98% depends on each case). So, when you see that your win rate is around 60-70%, then just don’t use this button and enjoy life.

How are these reports calculated? ​

So, we check your friend’s results (he pressed the [accept] button) for the battle outcome. Then we calculate WN8 and add info from you: whether he is an active player or not and if there was a chat in the game or not. If “active”/”no chat” is selected then detailed stats are checked above only, but if it’s “lazy/chatty” then both teams BRs + team details – like team ratio – are calculated to determine who made the most effort in winning the game (or at least survive it). You can read more about that on our site here

How are these reports saved by your site?​

Logs are directly loaded via HTTP API from our system database without any saves on our side or something else. Everyone who gets access to your account may see only last 10 BRs (plus every new battle report) with your nick, country and WN8 (in brackets). You can find this info from the [profile] tab. If you want to delete this data then go to the same place where you can change username/password/acess tokens – there will be an option to do it. But please note that earlier reports remain within our backups for 3 months just in case so if you change them now or later we still have all of them.

What happens when I accept and then decline a battle report myself? ​

Well, it’s like you accepted and declined your own report at the same time so we consider it as one declined +/- no logs/screenshots received in this period of time. You cannot do such again for 2 hours from first attempt (calculated since midnight server time).

What happens when my opponent declines roll? ​

You just send us his name and in 24 hour period from first decline he won’t be able to do it anymore.

What’s the maximum amount of battles I can decline per day? ​

​ Unlimited, but it will make your BRs get declined more often because the system takes into account your activity during a previous 24 hours. As soon as you have 10 declined BRs within last 24 hours (calculated since midnight server time), then another one will be declined too if it was partially declined previously. The limit resets every day 1 am server time.

Do I need to upload any screenshots? (or send logs?)

No! But you are strongly recommended to send your friend a screenshot showing the battle report in very beginning of the game (for example when both teams have only one tank each) and one on endgame screens where all tanks exploded at least. And as well do not forget about the chat window to show who said what 🙂 Oh, and also: if there was no chat during the game – then write in your report that there is no chat in this battle. You can do such report without uploading any screenshots or logs.

What if my friend declines roll? How come I can’t do it myself? (Or how come I cannot accept at least my own report?) ​

If someone accepts or declines your battle results within 1 hour since you pressed [accept] or [request reroll], then you can’t accept or decline this battle results even if you still want to. In case of dispute, if a player accepts his own result within 1 hour since he pressed [request reroll], then WG is going to leave it as it is.

What’s the advantage of using this system?

This should have been expected since the beginning, but it is a very good tool to measure player performance. Not only because WG can see how often you reroll (and how many BRs are done by other players with the same roll), or also that this system encourages players to play according to their wn8/wins. But more importantly, this system allows proficient and friendly player base growth within random battles which hopefully leads us towards a better matchmaking experience in future patches! A more mature community means less trolling/manipulation/etc. Also, we have found out a really nice feature from this system: some players start to play more active as they see they are now among the top of the tier especially when they hit the higher wn8 bracket! Respect!

What happens when we do not save logs?

As soon as you press “accept” or “request reroll”, logs are created automatically under your account name in our server database. Normally you should send it to some other player within an hour, otherwise you will get that popup (which has “Accept/Decline” buttons) from us with some time delay of maybe hours. Now if you’re not saving logs for whatever reasons, then don’t be surprised when we ask you to resend your battle report after one hour 😛

How does an automatic reroll work?

If a player has been declining or accepting most of his friend’s battles, then he can contact us and ask for autorerolling feature. Once enabled by server admin, this feature will be in effect 24 hours after the first decline. The player then can’t manually accept/decline any battle for 24 hours. If he declines a reroll then the game result is accepted and one BR is removed, if he accepts it then there’s no such thing as declined battle results for him and his current BR is saved.

What happens when my battle results are declined?

If your reported battle results are declined, you will be assigned with zero arena points and have no progress for that day towards the next WN8 bracket. The system expects you to fight more battles until you get your first accepted BR again.

How do I accept a reroll?

you don’t! The player who is doing your reroll will be automatically added to your friend’s list. This person has full authority over whether your battle results are accepted, declined, or asked for additional information. After an hour he has received the report from you, a popup with [Accept/Decline] buttons is presented in his browser on both sides (you and him). Usually, if you want to decline it because you are not confident enough with the game result then click the decline button otherwise accept normally without thinking too much.
