I take it seriously enough to do a little happy dance on battles like this one on moon. Beacon deficit comeback victory, came down to 2 on 2 then 2 on me, then 1 on 1 then me for the win. Suck on THAT tank bois... If you are serious about it than give Pix a few hundred dollars a fortnight, join a whale clan, run in squads and you will get your wins and opportunities to celebrate. Your frustrations will vanish with respect to the above context. If not than you will be exposed to the other form of the unbalanced nature of the game which is required for monetisation and which in turn will produce several other side effects. When the game is unbalanced there will be gaps all over the place and people will do what benefits them the most. Just human nature. But no matter what you do, you will only have a few good balanced games in every dozen or so where your individual input matters and is appropriately rewarded . Whether you pay or not the game will still be unbalanced. But unbalanced in different ways. Otherwise the game is as is. It is meant to frustrate you so that you cough up. Even if this particular symptom would be removed the root cause will still remain and will produce another source of frustration for you. There is nothing you can do about how the game is and there will be no solace for you if you don’t accept the limitations/issues and despite of that still like playing it. But you know all this anyhow…. I barely give them 0.99/fortnight and have built a strong strong hanger. I finish solo top spot 90% of the time. Again to my OP, tankers frustrate me more than whales and there is no spending that will change that.

Tankers are just stupid, there's no gain. They waste time instead of getting silver, honor, gold. Just to get their ego inflated in a few games against easier opponents (while earning less of everything). Besides the boredom of going through all that, to then quickly re-gain positions with wins (its a lot faster to go up than down.....). Plus they ruin it for others. Just senseless nincompoops. Deadweight loss for all sides involved. No gain you say? A premium item from the WS in 3 to 4 days with copious amount of silver on top or multiples of SCs a month (rather not say how many because it is embarrassing) without lifting a finger and carrying a 60%+ win rate. Then I know how to get far more riveting games on top of that. All this without scripting and while admitting I’ve seen people use much better approaches but haven’t figured out just yet how they do it. But I do admit some play to bash other under equipped players. Same way as the P2W crowd does over the weaker ones. But whats wrong with it, it is the principle premise of the game. Thats why everyone presses that upgrade button to get one up on the other guy or get closer to that whale. Fun for you to tank you way to a lower level of play so you can club seals for 60% win rate. Too bad your profit comes at my cost. Meh, it’s what Pix has done to the game.

We even have FIST guys tanking, DubTeeEff. And before you say that I don’t know he’s tanking. I ALWAYS know. And the 4994 league points with still a Champions League rating is a dead giveaway that even my 16 yr old could programmatically identify and she’s only had 2 months of Computer Science.

Play and club Champions League players about 70% of my games. Worth bearing in mind that Masters and up is more or less one league. So, if we meet in a game when i tank I will more likely make u win if u r a blue and lose if u r a red. Poor reds, they don’t know what hit em

The problem with tankers is you often donât know until itâs over. With whales you know whatâs coming; you suck it up, roll with it, and itâs over in 2 minutes. But when youâre doing well and the battle seems headed for a win until the tankers stop dropping bots, itâs a bigger letdown and frequently takes longer to reach the inevitable outcome. Itâs almost like a bait and switch. You get your hopes up, which makes tankers more representative of Pixâs business model than whales are. It almost makes me doubt my skill level. What the hell does it prove being the top Honor Point finisher in a back of pansy 「bum-bum」 sissymarys that arenât even trying. Ooo, look at me, king of the dip「dookie」s. Did I mention that tankers 「fluffernutter」ing suck? Ahhhh, I feel so much better know.

You suck, you suck, I hate you all, you suck. You suck worse than a pack of leeches. Go play some CandyCrush or ScatterSlots or with yourself if you can’t handle playing this game for real.

Expert tankers making this not look like the 2v6 that it was. How do you even score under 1 million with green weapons in hanger???

Yup, shared beacons, kill poaching, no pressure on critical beacons, staying behind cover, guarding nothing. The skilled tankers make a mini game of it. Too bad. Keep on keepin on!

Don't tank. Use lower bots and weapons. May take a while, but the system will drag you down. Then stick with lower bots and weapons. I stayed with 11-12 weapons/bots, and I yo-yo between MI and MIII. That moment when you realize you're so good with that even lower Bots keep you in Champion.
