Question...
Why do you battle when your team starts off short handed? 6vs4 just doesn't cut it for me, and I won't battle when my team is down. I see nothing good from getting my azz kicked being double teamed all game. I always feel like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. The worst part is we being artificially pushed into higher leagues from games that you cant win and will receive nothing.

One down, I can handle but two down, I play thinking they'd eventually drop in but expect a losing battle. By the time you realize they're not dropping in, it's about half way over. Might as well go down fighting.

The way I look at it, there’s always something to learn. Playing against death squads or playing 2 bots down has actually helped me hone my skills over time.

I fight anyway, I'll fight alone, if I'm not having fun, I'll make it a pain in the 「bum-bum」 to get rid of me. Make them wait as long as it takes to get their pathetic score.

Players should be able to report inactive players ( I call them triple zeros) with a single button after the battle. X times reported = x hours banned from battles.
In a game called "battle bay" you can report a floater this way, even if nothing happens to that player you still feel better.

Option one, leave. F it
Option two, go kamikaze for silver and to mech out fast, reboot. Hope for better next match. This is the best option
Option three, play your absolute best game and probably lose anyway. Worst option. Waste of time and you’ll barely do better in silver than option two

If you've ever tried to actually report someone, the amount of hoops you have to jump through is ridiculous. I have many screenshots of the 「dookie」ty canned responses I get from Dixo support |

I have many screenshots of the ?dookie?ty canned responses I get from Dixo support I think we are past reporting in general. The amount of games i quit out of the blue consecutively and never ended up in any LPQ means the concept is as good as done. I think at some point the player base became too low for that |

The community/players are pretty apathetic now; they've seen it all before. That or Dixonic buried the report function behind so many menus, people don't know it exists. But it's rather cathartic for me to report people, even if it does F all. |

Not to mention the added costs for the business for running the operations of such a league, it will be like a new mode. |

It’s a waste of time farming silver under those conditions. Pay attention to when you are short handed. It could be you are facing a meta squad and smart players have already dropped. As F2P one’s most important resource is time. Spend your time wisely. Or stick around to generate silver for the other guys... totally your choice. I suppose there’s merits for both paths. |

Guys guys...Tanking is a consequence of aggressive paytowin monetization. It is literally the byproduct of P2W. The MM will NEVER work that well because of that single solitary truth. MM will never fix P2W ever..The Dev needs to change their fundamental money model. Focusing on the side effect does not solve the root problem. It only gets a lot of people lost with false hopes in an endless reboot loop of trying to tweak the MM to "fix things". Its the sword in the stone..forget it.

I have over 10k wins so I've pretty much seen it all at this point. To me, it's a complete waste of time to play shorthanded. You can keep the silver. I didnt come to play and have my arse kicked and literally no chance for the win or the gold, which is why we all came to play anyway. Playing short actually hurts you because it keeps pushing you up in rank without the benefit of gold and silver rewards to keep up with a new league. I crave good battles that come down to the last minutes or bots in action.

As for death squads... I will not spawn against most of them when I notice more than three players in a squad. The advantage that squads get is too much to overcome in many cases for random players. Just the ability to talk in game with teammates gives an advantage to squads.

Id be more prepared to fight it out if the repair cost wasnt so high. Ill fight undermanned but i wont spawn into grapes. I shout at my teammates to stop spawning as i watch them repeatedly spawn into a 1v6 type of situation. They are wasting my time, let the grape be finished and lets try to get a new fairer match going. Its highly unlikely dixo would change their horrible "matchmaking system" anytime soon.
DIXO reply- You can get fair match in arena! Only 100AU!! In mother russia you pay money for fair chance or you get steamroll. (Stan and co, laughing in background).

I almost never bail out if there are missing players on my team when a battle starts.
If it's going to be a rout, I just go for broke and try to inflict as much damage as possible without using any PCs.
It's easier to get honor points when nobody on your team is trying, and the game is going to be over in a couple of minutes anyway.

Lost a TDM match that way just yesterday 2 players kept respawning and run across the open (Springfield) to face 3 reds alone. they managed to give away a 3 point lead in the last minute. |
