I have to say, right at the start of the matches, there are some thousand-yard stares at the Trident Fury, Ancliot, Plasma Galahad and DB Griffin all laying there dead. I could make a really sad music video out of the clips.

I really like my Gareth, but this challenge goes on the backs of your teammates. No chance,I would do something like it. A true king cares about others. Crown who or what you want. It wont be a king...

It wont be a king... Yeah, depending on your league. I'd say anything above Silver, you're going to be a serious detriment to your team most games trying this. I'm just trying it because I'm in Bronze league now, where it's relatively easy. 2/2 on successful attempts so far at least lol.

And that with my Gareth on its own. I know the maps, the moves and the mechanics. It's like throwing a 30 year old black belt in the ring with some teenage green belt judoka. The rules? Don't talk about the fight club...

Not only for the people I screwed on the way down, but because I'm stuck below where I belong for like 100-200 games now.

Playing without competition is no fun and not really a game... Definitely. It's become boring. I was Diamond III before I dropped. So at +13 per game, it's going to take a minimum of 110 games to get back from where I'm currently at. At least I can safely do the Gary challenge for now lol

How about another challenge: Doing all, that it takes, to win. For your teammates sake, not your own. That is, what a king would do. My gary spent hours, laying cover fire for my teammates. Not first in damage. Not first in beacons. But most of my squad survived. Not easy to play and sometimes you have to sacrifice your bots, but very satisfying. Also, there are way to few support players. Support is not really rewarded.

We are both on Android, I challenge you to beat my score.

I already wrote, why I will not do that challenge. Btw, I don't want to become king of the garies. Not under these conditions.

Obviously, a True King is made of stronger stuff. The stuff that doesn't back down from a challenge. The Gauntlet has been thrown down, Good Sir. Kindly pick it up.

Never ever. My personal pride doesn't lie in win percentage, average damage, or beeing best in some personal challenge. But when my matches are over, win or loss, I can say, I did my best.
How about you? Can you say that, after tanking your matches? That was the best,I could do!
Actually, I doubt that. But that is just my personal view. No offence meant.

Well if all you are going to do is ridicule the challenge or players attempting it, kindly refrain from posting in this topic again.
"Pride" without courtesy or manners is an ugly beast indeed.

How's it hanging, challenge-goers? Are you really going to let me be proclaimed King of All Garys? Surely someone else can complete the challenge besides me and mijapi300. Keep at it!

blastronautI completed it again in the 1200s but I forgot to screenshot it. Wasn't doing the challenge on purpose I just happened to start with Gary and not die. And I wouldn't be proud anyways because it was only 2 beacon captures and 220k damage. But it was enough to get top in both and win the game lol. I'll put in some more tries this weekend around 1400 cups or so.

This challenge is going to ruin a whole lot of games as it's written. Starting a high tier match 4 bots (nearly a full man) down is virtually going to guarantee a loss, and it'll take ruining a ton of teammate's games to fulfill the conditions outlined above. That's not something I can be part of or support. If the conditions were changed so that the Gareth was run first with the other bots in reserve I might give it a shot. Even if it is a borderline futile exercise in Champions... You'd be surprised how long Gary can last when you are playing to survive (and win). I don't feel like any of my games were ruined. It goes against the spirit of the Challenge itself, but if you are able to complete the Challenge without ditching your other bots I'll give you an honorable mention on the leaderboard. This is supposed to be fun (and it was lots of fun for me). I encourage you to give it a try. I think it's a fun idea, and in lower leagues it can definitely be done without impacting the game too much. What Pete refers to and what you probably don't know, is that getting top damage and not being killed, using only a Gary in Champions, is not possible.

@nixpilot nothing is impossible.
The point of the Gary Challenge is to see who can complete it while having the highest league score. I encourage you to try it at any league rank. Ideally once you start the challenge you would keep trying until you completed the challenge, similar to the Nuzlocke Challenge in Pokemon.

I'm not convinced it's entirely impossible, but it's not easy... Closest I've come so far, about 50k of this was with my 2nd bot. On Power Plant in a very fast game, and obviously I'm ignoring the stupid rule by not killing my other bots. 5666 cups at the time.

Haha, you'd have to do really well to outdamage five other Champion players in a Gary but I have to say that this was pretty good And you're completely right about the fast game - it might actually be possible in one of those games on SF where most of the red team drops the game and you can use the Garys speed to close distance quickly.

Check out #3 and #5 on the current Legends leader board above... I might have a shot. Will take a very lucky game though.

petevb Wow. That's truly a great game with Gary. I just competed the Gary Challenge again. This time with a sexy Death Knight Gary. 1254 League points, on Android.

Gareth Challenge Rules: 1) You may ONLY use 1 Gareth in a battle 2) All other bots MUST be ditched at the start of the battle before dropping Gareth 3) You MUST try your best to win every battle 4) Gareth MUST survive to the end of the match 5) Blue team MUST win the match 6) Gareth MUST take top damage and top beacons medals The Forum Member with the highest League Score while completing the Gareth Challenge will be proclaimed king of all Garys!!! Challenge Ends April 1st. Good luck, and Godspeed! Good luck with this. Not gonna happen in my league (low silver, high bronze). With the level of bots and weapons (not to mention tankers), you are, first of all, crippling your team with number 2), making numbers 5) and 6) almost impossible to get (not to mention the likelihood of number 4) being almost zero, with only one bot). If you want to lose rank and tank, it's an interesting challenge, but one more suited for test server than live, IMO. Challenge Accepted, Challenge Completed! I completed the challenge in both high bronze and low silver on Android.
