 I shouldn't be ranting only because I won this game, but I literally had to claw my way through to victory against about 5-6 Hydra Griffins and after this guy tried to focus kill me, he died and jumped into yet another mk2 hydra griff to try to focus me down again. You can obviously tell he made this hangar for TDM because he has nearly 2000 victories. I was using a 8/6 zues lvl 8 carnage protecting my teammate using a Gek/Treb Leo. Seriously why do people even considering leveling up mid/long range weapons before their hangar before brawling weapons? I've moved from Silver III to Diamon III in the matter of a few weeks and it's ridiculous how many people I run into using Mk2 trebs or mid range hangars but these same people don't even have a level 10 taran half the time... TDM seriously is not even fun. I want to brawl to get high damage meaning more silver and get more gold earnings as well as keys, but I'm forced to put a zues carnage instead of my typical 8/8/8 thunder carnage because it's my only way to counter of the sheer amount of spirals alone (I have two level 6/5 trebs to counter long range but I leveled up my Zues because I want to have more damage potential. And I don't want to have to resort to leveling trebs honestly... This is my current hangar. I just got this lancelot a few days ago but I used to run a 7/8/8 taran lvl 7 fujin.  |

Tons of RDB in gold and diamond. It only gets worse so buckle up. I'm just like you I rather brawl it out in close range. |

Same reason why you have 5 slots and he has only 4.

For sure! And it has it's utility but I run into so many people such as this that intentionally setup hangars such as this doofus where all they truly care about is leveling up spirals and hydras and their hangars are worthless for anything outside of TDM |

Most players still have just one hangar, and players are gearing their single hangars toward the one mode they get most, which is TD, thanks to the infinite stupidity of Pixonic. |

Most players still have just one hangar, and players are gearing their single hangars toward the one mode they get most, which is TD, thanks to the infinite stupidity of Pixonic. Did Pixonic actually buff the probability of getting a TDM game vs the other 2 game modes higher? It feels like TDM was secretly buffed and shows up more than 1\3 of the time and it's typically a larger map too which makes it such a pain. Aren't there more smaller maps than there are large? Why in the heck do I keep getting Yama, canyon and springfield? |

Are people getting higher proportion of tdm when squadded up? Didn't keep numbers but it seems like it. Or maybe just a string of bad luck again.

Ratio in my last 405 games is:
210 DOM (52%)
64 RUSH (16%)
131 TDM (32%)

Yeah, I've decided I'm not wasting another minute of my life on TDM. If that puts me in the LPQ, so be it.
Got TDM yesterday and played through the absolute shart-show of lasers and ST jockeys (I'm running Geps and Rogs - not meta, but my choice). Got TDM again and skipped it, then 2 more times and skipped them. Got a BR, which I'm not crazy about, but will play, and then 4 TDM in a row, all of which I skipped. I will continue this, consequences be damned.
May have to change my pilot name to DILLIGAF...

I got put in LPQ yesterday. It looks like it occured after leaving 21 games.
I tried to play in LPQ for a while. It’s very lopsided. One champion MK12 hanger decides it, mostly. If it’s evenly matched my team wins, because I seem to be the only player in LPQ that gets beacons. So my win rate in LPQ is not bad, almost as good as regular. But it really sucks to slug through those games where you have no hope. So I got tired of it after about ten games,
I don’t know how long I will last in there, but I’m not going to sit through a string of 5 TDM games with my cossack/shield hanger in LPQ without leaving. So I’m stuck there for good, with the tankers. I am not a tanker! Why am I being punished for not wanting to play a new video game forced upon me?
I sent Pixonic a note, and have now stopped playing War Robots. I don’t see a way I can Play TDM with my Cossack/Shield hanger, and am not going to waste my time watching those TDM games I’m not playing in.

TDM was awesome when the spawn points were all mixed in with each other (each red spawn had a blue spawn close to it).
But now with the separation, it's like playing domination but with more spawn points and no focus on beacons which means you can't win against snipers by running beacons.
The old TDM needs to comeback allthough I'd rather just take it out in favor of beacon rush

Not trying to make light of this, I truly understand the frustration of getting TDM so much. I am in Champion league on Amazon .today I have played about 10 rounds .Got TDM 2X and DOM 8X ! We,so far, can bail on TDM Without danger from LPQ, Because we don't have LPQ . T hat being said I am in full agreement that Random isn't random and pix is hurting themselves in the long run .But I sincerely believe that pix never intended this game to be a long term project . It was a means to make millions as fast as possible and retire at age 35 .no other explaination works. |

Mail.ru perhaps, not sure if the original team at Pix would have gone this route.

Isn't the reasoning behind forcing TDM on us to pressurise us into buying multiple hangars?
TDM is my favourite mode (I know, rare breed), but most ppl hate it and I don't think it should be forced on them.

Having said that, the allocation frequency should reflect the opinions of the population unless they can separate the modes so people can chose what they want to play. Problem occurs when the need for selling hangers is factored in. |

Problem occurs when the need for selling hangers is factored in. Completely agree with you. As I'm in the minority, I think it's only fair that TDM should occur less frequently than the other more popular modes. Should KOTH become included in Random, I may well end up in Leaver's queue. I may well then quit the game. I cannot abide KOTH. I hate it with a passion! |

Meanwhile, it seems perfectly acceptable to tank and club your balls off, but whatever. I'll just suicide TDM with guns blazing to get out and carry on. Seems about 20 or so skipped matches puts you in the LPQ. Seems it wouldn't be too hard to "tune" random to a player's preferences. I heart radio manages it. |
