From Tridents to Blow Jun. I didn't think they could screw this game up so much. It's still the same game, but it isn't, at all. There really, really, really needs to be a separation of leveled gear from average gear. The original matchmaking had the right idea, it just needed to penalize players for staying low and reward them for going up.
Champ is a 「fluffernutter」fest. It's just blow jun after bubble, and now teleporting and this ridiculous DR'd leech. It's honestly pathetic. The playerbase at the 'top' is pathetic. The game slowly became worse and worse, now it's just 「dookie」.
Also, at 9:59, do not fill in players. I have zero desire to fill in a crapshoot.

I personally preferred the old MM system. If someone wanted to use lower level gear to play lower level competition at least they had to lower their gear. Now it's just the same problem except people don't have to lower their gear. I have no gear over level 10 & I face Mk2 players all the time. My old bots like Inqy and Bulg are starting to really struggle. I guess that's the point, to force players to upgrade and use resources.

You are correct on all points of matter. Now this thread must be disapperaed to bottom rant so Pixonic can keep doing it harder. I think this forum is run by Pixonic close allies..so this nedd to be go.
Pisonic why you do us harder?

Good call, this is a rant! On a side note, if it was run by Pix allies as you say, why would we even have a Rants section? Nothing wrong with ranting. Everyone needs to let it out sometimes. It just needs to be done in the right spot. |

Skill w same level bots offers no monitization for Pix. They could have gone w vanity items, but instead decided to monetize skill erosion. Every addition is designed to further minimize the impact skill has on the w/l outcome. PS (pronounced [fluffy kitten] Save), weapons you don’t need to aim, Lockdown Ammo, etc. all reward spending over skill. And don’t for get about the infinitely ironic “Honor” boosters where you can EARN 4th place, but pay your way to the win.
IIWII, it ain’t gonna change, find fun where you can.

No persons reads the rant place to see good sayings by long good players who get done harder. Hiding anger posts makes it look too clean than it is.
Poster has made true points of talk. To cut that away from eyes is bad.
No one likes to get done harder.

I can see your perspective and we are mindful of that. We really only move stuff that is clearly a rant. Negative talk is contagious. Bring up issues is good, but the forum is best when it drives collaboration and communication for its members to make them better. Excessive negative talk smothers that and breeds more negativity. The mods feel your pain as we all play too. However, we have to draw the line somewhere so the negativity doesn't become toxic. This is how we've chosen to do it. It isn't erased, but it is contained. |

Frankly, the only way to improve a bad game is to point out what is inhibiting it from being good. If Pixonic cares about their game, they'll make changes. If they only want to fuel the fire for short term gains, it will hurt them in the long run.
I've had ideas. Shield breaking weapons/abilities. Maybe anti-stealth in a weapon slot that would see through stealth instead of disabling it with a module. Perhaps even a weapon slot that could give a player an evasive maneuver like dash or jump.
Other things could be done against phase shift, leech, even prevent teleportation. The mindset so far seems to be raising the bar futher and further. Instead of making a lot of redundancies, creating new bots and equipment that become useless, and thinning out variety in the meta, we need to relive the past a little more and look at what made Walking War Robots interesting in the first place.

I'm amazed how things turned around for me: I used to have all these great PC games and kept choosing to play War Robots instead. Now I'm so tired of that garbage game that often I'd rather play solitaire instead. As for the forum, I understand that some people like to stay positive regardless of what Pixonic does. That's fine by me, I won't visit GD anymore. I'm ashamed to admit it but verbally abusing Pixonic is kind of fun.  |

It is obvious Pix needs to continue on a path of absurd, bizarre bull「dookie」 in order to foster the 8 month meta turnover.
Where they come up with this 「dookie」, idk.....most likely, My Little Pony, or some other âcoolâ cartoon thing they watch in Russia.....

I still log in every few days to play some rounds, and my win rate has actually been decent, but you still get rounds that aren't convincing me my team sucks but that mk2 causes disparity.
I am strictly a lv8 player. I do not have the time to go beyond that. It takes a ridiculously long time just to obtain equipment! And that is really why I don't play much anymore.
This used to be an actual game, but then they introduced workshop points (remember those!?).. when the workshop dropped I thought they fixed the game forever, even though it burned your Ag quicker than you could make it, they still went back and flubbed it, taking a whole month to build ?dookie?. That's why I stepped back.
And I'm not buying operations after that first one. I realize I can't support this game as much I'd like to, because they will never change.
