What gets under your skin playing War Robots?
For instance, how about the Natty camping with Zeniths the whole game while the last blue battles for the teams life during the closing minute of a death match?
Or maybe it's campers with Geckos so proud of staying in their original spawn the whole match putting on an annoying light show.
Let's hear yours.

That was during old version of War Robots when there were no DIESS gears .Now only two things piss me off , Shocktrain bulg and sometimes mk2 zues fury . Even ork haeichi don’t piss me off as much as these two builds do. But there is one build that will piss anyone without ancile... HYDRA. Hail hydra  |

darkknight it's weird that many of the posts on YouTube and the forum state their dislike of the Hydras performance choosing Tarans over them.I have no Hydras myself,I just spent my last wsp on a forth Magnum.I'm thinking of shelving the wsp as I have most of the wsp items ( except Hydras) being that silver is more precious than I realized (40 million doesn't go far these days).I've been playing for about 2mo.I can play a lot since my retirement.

I’ll tell ya why hydra is disliked the most 1) Range of 600m 2) No LOS required like zues 3) Most of times it hits the enemy behind the wall , unless you kiss the wall with your bot like your bot is trying to merge with wall then they will hit you 4) Now if you have ancile ,it won’t even tickle but if you don’t then slowly and gradually it would chirp away your hp and it’s impossible to kill them as long as red using it got even a little amount of skill Last but not the least , weapon requires the least skill in the game . Only one thing you should do is not hit ancile bots and you are good. Also if enemy is kissing wall too hard then change your target till blue you were targeting moves. Even shocktrains requires more skill than hydra but they are little more hated because of huge damage shocktrains does compared to hydra. Hydra will just tickle , but slowly and gradually kill you . |

Getting 12,000 to 20,000 silver in bronze chest when I have over 400 million of it already.
You play constantly just to gain 10 keys and when you do have enough to open a bronze chest...voila! You get a puny amount of silver for the troubles. I mean com’on, I can get 2 million silver just trying to earn 10 damn keys...
I know it's free and I shouldn't complain but it's insulting.

my biggest thing is people who have no concept of Beacon Control. I get it, We all start somewhere but I am in Champion League and you shouldnt have to deal with that in the upper meta. Personally, I blame all the range buffs Pix has done in the past months is why we see so much camping in the upper meta now. a year ago, it was mid range but mostly brawling which is how I feel the game should be played. Camping and Range is for people who dont know how to brawl yet like silver and gold league, Not Master and Champion. But alas, all the buffed range has made camping viable now which really sucks.

Trying to get past a spider bot who finds it necessary to dance left and right in an alley or choke point when they aren't shooting or taking fire. There are situations when the advice, "keep moving" does not apply...unless it's out of the way.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I have to put up with Random mode so that they can have TDM, and everybody else (supposedly) doesn't have to wait too long for a match. Both the random mode matches require capping beacons, yet people still insist playing Random mode and ignore the $@&!?%# beacons, when they have another option that they can specifically select and not have to even look at a single beacon. If you don't want to cap beacons, GO PLAY FRIGGIN TDM -- that's what the hell they made it for!!! That chaps my 「bum-bum」 like sandpaper underwear.

I also dislike the forced combination of Domination and Beacon Rush modes. I prefer Domination and I swear 8/10 games are always Beacon Rush. Not many people know how to play Domination anymore and that's what has allowed me to climb as far as I have in the league standings with a crappy hangar.

When people don't realize that your teammates don't care about you. It's a solo game masquerading as multi-player. You help when you know you are less likely to lose a mech.
Hate your teammates? Squad in a clan. Not going to squad? Stop complaining about teammates because you're playing the solo version. The solo version where each person has their own mission of tasks or what they want to do.
There is no importance with winning when the schematics of the matchmaking will keep you near the range of 40 to 60%. Losing too much, Pix will give you creampuffs. Winning too much, Pix will feed you to better mechs that are losing too much.

You are correct sir, today I can't lose matched against school for the blind.Tomorrow it's all losses going up against Seal Team Six on level 12 mk 2 on steroids.Why can't it be a more even MM? |

I've a few peeves!
Blues who shoot my light bot, then an unclaimed beacon at the start of a match like I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO!
People who ditch their bot JUST before I kill them. Forget tankers - these aren't fit to lick a tanker's scummy toilet.
All hydra users. It's an obnoxious and lazy weapon.
The event roulette things. I understand it's rigged, I'm fine with that, but stop making me pick a '?' Tile when I know exactly what's behind it. It's a 6 hour premium. It's always a six hour premium. The farce!
Sometimes in the heat of battle, the target will jump to the most ridiculous red on the field, miles away, auto aim only helps so much.
But I love 90? of the game

When I'm bobbing and weaving in my aphid jesse and about to destroy my target and a blue raijin moving with the grace of a pregnant hippo draws me into its legs and takes me out into the open.

I hate it when my multi-ton robot stops walking because a tiny part of one of its weapons is caught on a tiny corner of rock. LOL. Lately my Rogs and Griffin's seem to get hung up on everything. Not clearing objects that I've jumped a thousand times. No faceplant into a wall, but I end up hanging off of it by an elbow. |

What truly gets in my craw is the moronic teammate who thinks it's fun to push bots away from a position they have for better combat or cover.
Never bothering with the foe OR beacons, just pushing bots about...

Having an average 7/8 hangar playing in diamond and gaining 3 points per win but losing 22 points per loss. Especially when you are facing champion level hangars.

The gap between normally upgraded Ag-Au-WSP hangar and a P2W Mk2-12 DIESS hangar. That's basically ruining the game. I am not progressing, and I don't see myself ever again progressing in this game, quite contrary I will start regressing soon, as population of DIESS gear becomes more and more common. Now about 50% of the battles are still fun, but when game lacks any sense of foreseeable progress, and 50% of the battles suck... Yeah.

I hate the June 2017 matchmaker update. Specifically this: SHORT VERSION: FASTER MATCHMAKING FOR PEOPLE IN CHAMPION LEAGUE. THAT’S IT Long version: that’s really it. But here’s how it’ll work in case if you’re wondering. The key problem of Champion league is a huge rating disparity between players. In the same league different players could have 5000, 8000 or even 13000 rating points. And matchmaking works the same way there as in other leagues: taking, say, our 13000 point player and slowly increasing the range in which it finds his teammates and opponents. First, 12990 to 13010. Then, second later, 12980 to 13020. And so on. It is obvious that with such approach matchmaking can take forever sometimes. To address this we change how matchmaking system perceives all the points above 5000. Basically, we’re shrinking them tenfold. Say, 13000 turns into 5000 + (13000 – 5000)/10 = 5800 in the eyes of the algorithm, and 8000 makes 5000 + (8000-5000)/10 = 5300. Numbers are not necessarily precise, but that’ll do to illustrate the principle. This way players in the Champion league will find each other much faster, without changes to the actual rating system. We also expect to see more Champions appearing after the change to rating points distribution, so there will naturally be more people to play with. warrobots.net/en/posts/102 |
