Return to the old tier days? (Poll)

Why is this even a question?

Considering the fact that now Gepard costs 250AU absolutely yes.

Old tier system... No way, hangar score was calculated in a totally idiotic way, resulting in everybody needing to run almost the same bots (those most powerful for a given hangar score), or being at a disadvantage (most blatant example being 9/1 MagGep tier, but same phenomenon applied to every tier).

A new tier system, now that would be a different story.

Hear Here!!

Pix has tried 2 different ways to get fair play and it has been manipulated either way. I really don't think there is a really good/fair way to do this. the only way I see this MM working is that once you are in a league you can't go back. If you are in gold, regardless of being in 1,2 or 3 you cant go back to silver. I know that new players will "tank" to stay in their league but advance in level but there is an easy fix for that too. leagues and levels are bound together, or something like that.

Honestly, I don’t really care. They just need to do something about creating more consistently balanced matches where everyone is motivated to win.

I voted No.

I heard old tier system is just based on Bots level only? is this true?
If yes, then League System is much better (if everyone else playing it fair)

It was based on the highest level bot / weapon combination in your hangar.  

Regular and consistently good matches all the time - not like it is now.

I don't know how you can vote for or against if you haven't experienced both.

If you had one dominant bot, old MM would match you according to that bot. It was best to keep all bots close to even. I kept my Geps (I ran 5 with the occasional Rogatka) at 31 (bot @ 4 with 3 light weapons total lvl 27). If i felt up to stiffer competition, i could just run stronger magnums, and voila! stronger opponents.

The lines were clear and defined. Certain bots (Brits) automatically bumped you up, and you simply could not beat up little hangars with a big one.

Yes, mag Geps were found to be a very effective combo. They worked as designed to destroy reds. Kinda the name of the game, right? They were readily available to everyone through cash or grinding and saving gold. And, let's not forget, they were LIGHT, LOW HP BOTS WITH LIGHT, SHORT RANGE WEAPONS. One could simply upgrade past them in no time.

Having been in both worlds, I vastly prefer gear based MM to the shart show we have now. Facing off against maxed mk2 DIESS hangars with a 6/6 legacy hangar is a much worse beating than any I ever had from or dealt with Mag Geps, I promise.

The old tier system was crap too. It actively encouraged people NOT to upgrade their robots. That's always been completely stupid.

The simple fact is some people are better than others, and you must balance teams by how good the players are. The current system accounts for both skill and robot strength... Sort-of... But it needs to be fixed.

The biggest problem with it is tanking. The other more minor problem is that they don't use robot strength at all, and rely simply on how the better robots push you into higher tiers. BOTH player skill AND robot strength need to both be in the matchmaking equation.

Having played both mm systems extensively, it's no contest. The old system was not only vastly superior but it also made the game fun on a whole different level. If you never played the old system you will never know how truly great Walking War Robots was.....it was phenomenal.

With all due respect, voting that the new system is superior may be worthy of the esteemed label of "Numb Nuts"

Let's not forget they didn't nerf gep until after the MM swap.
Both systems suck because they both require a balanced game, but I voted old MM just because I'd take 30% of games being 4/9-12 maggeps over one 「roast beef」 running MK2 12/12 DEISS 10% of my games.

The one doing most manipulation was Pix themselves... Trying to get people to spend money by streaks of wins and losses.

A system which used gear (total power of hangar calculated with goal of getting actual accurate estimate of real battle power, for example giving most powerful setup more weight than the less powerful setups) and experience, combined with completely random matching within same matching bracket (not trying to give some player win or loss). Experience can't be lost, so as you gain experience you will be matched in a tougher bracket, even if you use the same bots. It could even be so, that as you gain more powerful bots, the significance of experience becomes less, so you will naturally want to upgrade your gear to avoid being out-matched.

This would of course also mean, that skill would actually matter. If you were better, you would actually win more. What a shocking thought.

The only way I think it will be achievable is to have a non-league mode.

Run what you got and you can only use hangar 1.
