This clown has been allowed to ruin 50 games. I can’t be bothered to check if their in-game reporting has been fixed, and I’m done with dealing with their “support” team.

I reported him weeks ago. He’s been doing it since November. He was close to 7,000 cups at one point before tanking down to Master several days later. He always leaves after 1 bot. i thought about trying that, i was at 5300 and figured may aswell reset to master crate.
man you do that a few times and get only negative 4 points for a loss. and you reallllllly gotta try to lose. ppl suck so bad if you steal a single kill with your cossack you may get 4th place in ffa lol
i gave up after negative 50.

Pix doesn't really care.. its all about money to them.. just look how the PS Exploit is going.. Players/Clans need to start holding these players accountable ie calling them out.. but needs to have proof.

I played a game on my kids account about a week ago. Yesterday I played another. Both games had the same guy on red team blowing up his own hellburner in spawn for the first two minutes then quitting

Both games had the same guy on red team blowing up his own hellburner in spawn for the first two minutes then quitting Pretty sure that’s scripted. The ones I see stay stationary, activate ability and just keep doing so. Usually a one bot hangar. Not sure what they’re doing about the Titan, second hangar perhaps.

Pixonic needs to buff the Champion crate to reflect the insane grind that takes to get there... it should at least be MORE than the combined rewards from bronze to masters. More incentive for these tankers to stop tanking

More incentive for these tankers to stop tanking I think that’s why the rewards are so out of whack; Pix wants this behavior. I can’t figure out the monetization angle though. Pervasive tanking, combined with a broken reporting system are a big disincentive to spending imo.

What they don’t realise is that they then become fodder for the whales. Either way, I doubt it’s healthy for retaining players.

Pix will then have their backs up against the wall as players bail...... Well, there is still Steam and FB........

As always, this is a self fulfilling prophecy..........if Pix was concerned about tanking/unsporting conduct, it would not exist. Simple, just remove negative rank points....
Since Pix has not done this, I consider tanking a part of the game, just like meta magic, PS, Last Stand, etc.
Get over it.........

Averages 30k damage over 50 games and 0.1 kills. So yeah You mean avg 30k, yeah? And with a max of over 3 million, I’d say it’s safe to assume he’s not quite playing up to his potential. I’ve been playing with giving zero craps now, generally not caring if I win or lose. Crappy small & fast hangar, my best high-damage bots are on the shelf, and I stopped upgrading Kid. It’s keeping my win/loss rate steady enough to stay in Gold 1, where I’m seeing only a smattering of magic princess bots, but a plethora of imbeciles. There’s so much more incentive to NOT advance at this point. If my team is actually trying to win, I’ll put forth the best effort I can with my garbage hangar; otherwise I challenge myself to play as wrecklessly as possible and get killed before my titan is 100% charged. This way I keep expectations low, crappy games end quickly, and am seldom disappointed with the outcome. I also have a lot more fun with the crap bots (Aphid Bolt, piñata Jesse, and pun Gepard) than I do with my ‘better’ bots. I’m also amazed with two things that often stand out: 1, how high I frequently end up ranking with so little effort; how the lowest scoring players on my teams are usually the highest ranked. I’m almost to the point where I admire how poorly some of these guys actually end up. I swear most other players right now are playing with that same mentality. So, I’m not tanking, but at the same time I’m making zero effort to advance, and I’m enjoying what little time I spend playing a whole lot more. I’m also getting really, really good with those crappy little bots. I think, though, this guy you spotted has taken things a bit to the extreme.

It doesn’t displease me — it’s just underleveled crap bots compared to everything else out there, and compared to some of the other stuff sitting in my own garage. Haechi, Raijin, and Loki are currently on the shelf doing nothing. It’s almost like what they say about motorcycles — it’s more fun riding a slow one fast than a fast one slow.

It's good to name and shame. It is a pointless exercise in futility. Look at the "Wall of Shame" if it still exists for example. While PIx accepts the practices espoused here (and they must to allow them to continue over not just months but YEARS) then naming and shaming serves no purpose as nothing more than a (pointless) PSA.

Titan would not charge after one bot. Even if it does it makes no diff in this situation.

Pixonic needs to buff the Champion crate to reflect the insane grind that takes to get there... it should at least be MORE than the combined rewards from bronze to masters. More incentive for these tankers to stop tanking However, if they buff it too much it’s lost revenue. The way I see it is we are heading towards a distribution style resource reward system where everyone gets similar levels of resources post game. If everyone gets the same than additional purchases using RM is going to make a huge difference. Even more so than today. Silver paid out on honour points goes a long way towards this. This exact thing happened with platinum. Everyone gets a bit but if you drop some RM on platinum than you really notice the difference and without RM you can’t get far and are stuck with low levelled sub optimal gear.
