I think i've stumbled onto something and want your feedback.
You know when you start to have a pretty decent win %, the matchmaking starts to try and level that out? Well, I've been playing FFA almost non stop since it's been it's own button. You get a rhythm to it and it's really not that hard to play even against higher level gear. Seems to be all about the timing.
Not anymore. I've done this all day and this keeps happening almost every game. I'm going for a bot and lo and behold, it spawns an enemy within 300m. I'm not making this up. And when I spawn, I couldn't be any further from another player. I generally play heavy slow bots. I have to walk forever just to join the action, and as soon as i'm getting ready, BAMM... someone spawns within killing distance.
I can count on two fingers the times i've spawned relatively close to another bot after the initial start and they were both on Moon which is arguably the smallest map.
This game is really starting to drive me crazy, what with the lag (which for some reason, always seems to be their advantage), the utter joke that is matchmaking, tankers, and soon-to-be halt to upgrading. There is almost none of the fun that got me hooked and I've all but given up on the FBGR account because you either tank or just accept that there are always champion leagues in your diamond 3 games. I've got 10m silver left and when it's gone, guess I just collect the supply drops.
Sorry to rant, but i've just about had it. Never has a game just really gotten under my skin like this one.

Ha ha ha, the phone game era...what a great time to be alive. From the moment you download and open the game, everything is designed for monetization. Getting under the skin is absolutely, positively by design. I hope you were a good downloader and rushed your upgrades  |

LOL. I've had matches when it seems like my bot is the only one being shot at. Usually when the MM decides my 2 match win streak is too long... or about the 3rd qualification match for Champion.

To be serious, what isnt rigged in War Robots?
Said this in another thread but there isnt a Taran Bug for the Reds. So whats fair about this.
Royale, Silver and Gold Chest r big garbage.
Random and FFA is "matchfixing".
Yu jump high or low bring SpectresOrks BulgsShocks wudnt matter.
Big manipulation from Pixs.

How is FFA rigged?
Other than 2-3 tankers per match (which actually just make it easier to win) and the Occasional MK2 clubber.. I play FFA more than anything else these days.

Well Im gonna have to play teh "git'gud" card, I don't have any problems with FFA, outside of the for mentioned clubber/tankers, But that's not specific to FFA and the tankers aren't really a issue in FFA like they are in team play.

Yesterday I had a match (Domination) Ive seen just 1st time as long I play. The Reds came in with Furry/Zeus, Spectre/Shocktrains, Heachi/Orks, Leo/Gusts,Thunder etc.
The moment I switched for Bulgasari/Orks
all my team mates gone in a short period of time. Was standin against 6 of them? Was destroyed in less than 30sec.

I played FFA all weekend...except for when I had to cap beacons in order to get some Gold ( 30% of those games I was either the victim of serious lag time or booted off of the server ). The FFA games were pretty much no lag time and I was not booted even once. I climbed up from Gold 3 to Gold 1. It seemed as though as soon as I got up to Gold 1, the Bots were super Buff and doing me in rather quickly. Even though I finished 3rd or 4th in the FFA games, which is okay as it is positive points. Getting slammed in 10 or 15 seconds by a bot that appears right behind you is not fun.  I guess it is just more of a challenge. |

Where your enemies are spawning right behind you. I have played a few hundred FFA matches. I really enjoy it. I'm not great but not horrid either. Good way to hone up on situational awareness. In almost all of those matches, when i spawn, it's away from everyone else. Most of the time, the other people are spawning away from the rest as well. I know, because my brawler bots have to trudge forever on these large maps to get to the action.
Lately I've been getting a lot of enemies spawns that are within 350m range and always behind me. That's not normal and with the exception of Moon (sometimes carrier) which is so tiny anyway, it doesn't happen to me except once that I can recall. You could say, well, pay more attention. It's not that i'm not scanning, I watch for deaths because I know someone will spawn, but not up my 「bum-bum」. That makes me think it's either rigged to punish my wins, or just broken, glitched, or bad spawn placement. Not sure. Either way, it's something i have never noticed and am seeing quite a trend.

This isn't rigged though, that's just how it works I've been the one who spawned behind someone..
I think the system tries to pack you in together in at start but later it tries to spawn you away from the action.. sometimes there is no good spawn to spawn you I guess.
This is why you need to keep an eye out when ever someone gets killed and spawns look around and see where.
Usually they will not spawn right on top of you.. have to be a little bit of distance from teh spawn point for it to be used (except rare cases)
You can even use this to your advantage, small maps.. if you judge the distance you can leave just enough room for the spawn to be active but close enough you can dash in and ambush the person when they spawn..
That would mean the system is rigged in the campers favor huh? not the other way around.
When you say something is rigged you make it seem like the system is out to get you personally.. that's not the case.

Maybe not in this case, but generally speaking, the game is out to get you personally, half of the time... either handing you a win or beating you down. So why not also in this way? It could be experimwntaental or R&D, even. It'd make sense (for Pix's twisted monetization goals) to be able to control wins and losses between actually equal players, so they wouldn't need tankers and such to enable beat-downs and winning streaks. |
