I don't understand new players.

You try to come to a game that specifically says that your not welcome (NO NOOBS, EXPERTS, BE GOOD) and you expect one of the teams to take you under its wing and get destroyed by the noobless team.

I can't say this enough HOST YOUR OWN FRIGGIN GAMES ITS NOT HARD. YOU PUSH THE HOST BUTTON AND TITLE YOUR GAME NOOBS ONLY, YOUR PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.

So gtfo of my hosts and start hosting your own rooms. Come play with me when you can actually stand a chance 100 + games is when your not a noob anymore.

I've repeatedly played better than players with  150+ games when I only had 30. And I mean much better... 200 games UB with 3 deaths by war rank 4 on cataract, Erebus of all DG with 9 deaths by war rank 7...

Gamecount is an indicator, it can be terribly misleading.

Are we still on this crap?

 This guy is the perfect example of the problem, ignorant, rude ,not even the beggining of the shadow of basic civility.. he dont even bother to read anything, the original poster says his count has been reset to 0  probably in one of the purge and he hasnt played until recently, theres no reason he should apply to noob games as you say.

Also theres a lot of hypocrisis going on with this so called "noob games" open and youll see quickly one team filling with vets just to boost their stats.Making the experience miserable for everyone.

Like I said host your own game.

This.... and I've played with most of the "Good" players and there is a reason they don't want you in thier games...It's a little thing called balance they want a fair game...and a noob or someone with a low game count just throws things off.  Or do you want to start another useless thread called "High game count players padding thier stats by playing lower count players" or something like that just host your own game and stop it with the dumb posts.

Stats get reset next week anyway don't they? what I heard but might not be.

I've played recent games labeled as "noob" and none of them were noobs, I can tell you right now. I had 0 game but been playing actively before the latest purge. Someone even had 240 games. The game ended up a lot of fun since we were all approximately of the same strenght.

This thread clearly indicates there is an issue with stats. A lot of users are being impolitely treated, kicked without warning or message, no questions asked. Some are extremely rude and arrogant.

May I remind you this game is dying a slow death? The latest report indicated only 23% of people who bought the game ever tried to play online even once. Sometimes you could try hosting a game during the day and no one would join, for there are already to many games being hosted and not enough people to fill them. Outside peak hours this is common sight, it`s becoming increasingly difficult to find a game.

The OP wasn`t a stupid post and there`s a need to correct the general attitude or this game will be dead before the next year, played only by a few dozen people.

Totally agree with you. If you have less than 100 games under your belt, regardless of percentage, IMO, you are a noob. Heck most noobs don't even realize they are noobs and think because they beat AI so well, that they are somehow an expert.

Too many times, I've had a kind heart and let people with 100 games play on my team and they were just flat out terrible. Its totally raped my stats but it was a lesson learned the hard way. Bottom line is NOOBS SUCK. If you want to play a game that bad, join a noob game or host your own. However, if the game says NO NOOBS BE GOOD, please don't waste your time joining or join and try and convince me otherwise because the odds are that you aren't very good.
