I assure you guys that I hate Leeches as much as the next player but here are the three things that really annoy me in the War Robots games:
3) Spawning
a - When I choose to drop on a beacon, I want to spawn ON THAT beacon. Not around the corner, not on the other side of an obstacle.
In BR I try to drop in where my teammates are under attack - only to find I now have a friggin' commute to make.
b) The game takes great delight in spawning me with my back to the reds. Very annoying when you're being spawn raiding.
2) Targeting
I understand why the targetting gets confused when bots move under you or over your head. I don't get why the targetting makes me switch through two or three reds 700 m away while someone is blasting me at point blank range.
3) The biggie - Matchmaking
My Smurf account is in Diamond. In most games my teammates are 3 or 4 Champs and 2 or 1 Silver. Since I can't possibly match a Champ player in damage I come in 4th or 5th and get very little battle rewards.
Today I had a match against a full Champ clan. Two minutes later I was checking my teammates. One poor guy was in Private league. Why is a Private matched with Champs? Why am I, a Diamond, consistently fighting Champs?
Ok, I'm done.

Kinda expected more, at least foul language based upon title.....
What can I say? 95% of the forum complaining is within 1 or more of these categories.....nice work!

I'm sure I could come up with more but those are like the three that annoy me every single day I play. Cursing? I had frigging. I avoid stronger words because this forum substitutes the most bizarre word combinations but that's another rant. |

If MM is going to match Champions League with DIAMOND....then how about setting weps at the same level across the whole board?
Champ clans have complained about the lack of competitive games...they have to settle for slaughtering Expert/Master randoms....makes them sad.
Let's cheer them up!!!
Drop their gear levels to the same average level as their random opponents.
Boost the "weakest" randoms to the average power levels.
The clan squad still has the advantage of playing with teammates they know and organized attacks...but the battle is much less of a walk over as they don't have an overwhelming tech advantage....and the "weak sister" pilots have a better chance at scoring resources, even in a losing effort. Higher level randoms, who will have their gear nerfed, will have teammates who can contribute to the battle effort.
I know....this sounds a bit socialistic, but it's not permanent as MM doesn't always throw one side to the wolves and neither side asked MM to generate a lopsided game....
All the Champions League clan squad pilots who comment here say they want "competitive battles" and not a 2 minute kill fest...they wouldn't lie about that, would they?

I like this idea but it will never happen. However they need to do something. It's a very unhealthy sign when I am guaranteed to get 3 or 4 total mismatches every hour I play. You know - The games that are over in two minutes. |

Mechwarrior probably isn't helping either |

Update your profile so we know which system youâre 「female dog」ing about.
And absolutely on all three complaints.

1. idk, im actually a fan of completely random spawning despite how often it can get me killed. If it is too consistantely dropping players directly on beacons, or dynamically programmed to face the closest red at all times, the game would then become a game of "who can strategically spawn first!" It would also make it damn near impossible to take red beacons from a team with half a brain. Nevermind entrenched, hardcore players...
Keep SOME of the game somewhat random to help break one-sided matches. *shrug* I am weird I guess, too much experience playing old FPS games with fixed spawn points and either people spawn camping. lol
2. TARGETING! YES FOR 「fluffernutter」S SAKE! WHAT THE ACTUAL 「fluffernutter」! Gameplay BASICS, CMON! Auto targeting NEVER grabs the closest target, and more often then not, even if my reticle is DIRECTLY on the red I wanted to target, it will grab another target 500m further away randomly NOT directly in front of my reticle. Hell, I have had my targeting grab players 500m+ way off to my left or right rather than DIRECTLY in front of me... probably aggravated issue by the ever increasing Pixonic server lag... they really need to do what Destiny 2 does, weekly server shutdown for maintenance and refresh.
3. As was already said, probably a huge result of the rapidly declining player base. Obviously, your platform can also heavily affect this regard. Steam for example, my baby smurf account on STEAM/PC is barely in gold 3, and 9/10 matches end up against full Master/Champions League players. Most of the time I just play hide and seek/poke the bear in this regard. haha
As for Android, i believe it is the largest playerbase, but even so, when I was Diamond/Expert id usually face off against a ton of Champions League players on my main account. Now that I am in Master3, I never face anything less than M/Champions League. Sadly, i really REALLY do not belong in this league. I am super frustrated with how EVEN the ranking system pushes you into much higher leagues than suitable to frustrate you into spending real money on properly competitive 「fluffernutter」ing gear just to keep the 「fluffernutter」 up. F2P players i feel like have no choice but to tank back down sometimes... havent tried before, but have been very much considering it lately. Sad/lame, i know.

Targeting issues really jack me up when I'm trying to divebomb on a particular target with my Raven and then while I'm descending, my target lock jumps to another bot off in the distance and the target of my ire is like "oh ho, this joker is jumping toward me and must not know I'm here".
