From my experience in Masters, you'll be playing with a lot of Champions on both sides. You may be the only Master on your team or one of two. You'll be matched with a lot of fully maxed Hangars. If you got to Masters with your current hangar, you'll have your beat downs, but you'll also have some quick wins. Sometimes you might feel like you can't win. And of course there're will be the enevitible seesaw between Masters and Expert but you'll get your legs. Congrats.

Thanks. I doubt I’ll be there for long, so what happens if I’m part-way between an Expert and Masters crate and get demoted? Do I lose the progress? Yep, you lose the process. The overflow honour points get added towards the new cycle. |

Great job on getting to Masters! Currently I am in a cycle where I get to Masters III and the game puts me in matches where everyone is in Champ. My stats fall and I drop back into Expert. I then find playing In Expert ridiculously easy and quickly rise into Masters again. It would be nice if I could be matched with other low Masters but I've just learned to accept this. It's how Pix rolls. |

That’s good to know. I feel like I’ve ‘got lucky’ and my win percentage is now above 50%, so I’ll likely get slammed soon. I just hope I win a good bot in the superchest at the end of the month! I just went through a couple horrible days and my percentage went down to 32% and I dropped back to Expert. Now I'm working my way back to Masters. I'm back to 54% now. At least my kill streak is growing! |

If you're lower M3, not much will change. Don't worry about it too much and don't sweat the league system. Just keep playing naturally, hone your skills, and upgrade as you can and you'll be fine.

I'm sorry, but a few years ago, this game would not have hangers with level 5 to 7 bots and weapons hitting Masters or Champions. You would have been more like mid diamond league. The game needs like two leagues between "Expert" and "Masters" to better allow the gradual skill levels to grow. Presently, I find the change at 4100 far too stark ATM.

Bull「dookie」. As soon as I hit M3, I get massive dragon/panty parades, and half my matches Iâm the only M with, and against, 5 Champs....usually the 6th Red is M1. Truley a rude awaking...... |

I guess my experience was in between. Lots of matches where there'd be a champ or two, a couple masters and a couple experts. Some matches where there'd be one or two masters per team and the balance Experts, or the balance Champs. The very occasional "You're the Master's fill-in for our 5 Champ squad vs 5-6 Champ squad battles". Those were the worst, as the feeling of it being utterly pointless being there is hard to shake. |

Your doomed! Doomed I tell you!!
Just kidding. Play your game your way and you'll be fine. Upgrade what you can when you can and it will sort itself out.

It'a sure to be a brutal lesson in humiliation. I know it was for me when I first slipped into that league.
Focus on one good setup and make that your best go to robot and it will help you out.

I just went through a couple horrible days and my percentage went down to 32% and I dropped back to Expert. Now I'm working my way back to Masters. I'm back to 54% now. At least my kill streak is growing! Same here. After holding me in Expert forever MM expedited my move to live bait in for Champs league players. Literally crossed 4100 and the composition on both teams changed radically. Went from random mix of meta, silver, and everything in between to hangers comprise solely of MK2 Lvl 12 Ares and Au Jun. Went from playing mostly other Experts, Masters, and the occasional Champ to both teams with four Champs, some high level Masters, with me an one other low level Masters. Needless to say we got destroyed. And it was mostly from flaming dragons in stealth at which I couldn’t return fire but just run or purple Greek god that locks me down and pop up his shields so I can’t move and can’t shoot back. And Pix thinks this is fun? Moved up a bit then put into current beat down cycle. Again, amazed that once I crossed 4100 - on the descent - the league and bot composition. Why is it that once you achieve Masters you’re Dumped in games of mostly Champs rather than mostly other Masters? |

The MK2 Lvl 12s either push people back to Expert or if you have them, skyrocket you to Champs. Just a theory.  |

Well, it sucks so far! If I play really really well I can finish 6th! Sometimes I get even luckier and there’s a tanker on my team and I can finish 5th! And lose! My fate rests entirely with my teammates - I can barely put a scratch on the reds before I’m out. Only 5 days to wait until my Ao Jun levels to 8... It does suck, I'm in the same boat, although teetering between M2 and M1. Important thing I learned was survivability, making my bots last as long as possible, there's a you on the opposite team, work out who that is. Try not to go solo. Upgrade weapons, I've become a mid-range troll, got myself some lockdown weapons, these are useful for tactical retreats. It doesn't get too much better, also pick your server time to play if possible. I generally won't play after 7pm ACST in Australia, it's not even remotely fun. |
