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. There is a flaw in your logic....low leveled sub optimal gear just means playing in lower leagues....only those who strive to be competitive in Champions League will feel the pinch. Spending will show a difference, and propel a body into Champs......not paying, or upgrading, means playing in Expert or Masters, and having fun. The money payout is the illusion Pix want folks like you to buy into.....literally! |

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. <Snip> I know the feeling...the bottom two blues sat in cover and just shot at each other. Not really sure what numbers 3 and 4 did.  |

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. Just a place to vent, if nothing else. For people who play seriously and honestly, some of these practices are extremely frustrating, whether it’s a highly leveled and clearly capable player crapping the bed on your team, or a high-level player who’s de-ranked on the other. People know that complaining about it here likely won’t change anything, but it beats hucking a $500 tablet against the wall. |

The money payout is the illusion Pix want folks like you to buy into.....literally! Most people get sucked into masters and then game over in this respect. Upwards point pressure is huge. One meta bot at 6/6 and you are in masters. I run a 6/6 phantom in my smurf. It is stupidly op in beacon modes. So are juns, ares and leeches. If you think the MMer and the points system takes people to their competitive equilibrium in the leagues than I don’t know what further to say. |

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   usually it’s just the one hellburner. I guess he opened the second slot by mistake. Funny thing about this match, everyone was so low, he came in second on the losing team. |

Sub To PDP is back at again. Drops 1 bot and leaves. He’s at 5,100 cups so it must be time to drop to reset the honor points for the Masters crate. Yeah, clan member ran into him earlier.  |

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. My play style at the moment for sure! Fast and hard before Titan is ready. I'm 500 gold short for that 2nd hanger to shelf the garbage Titan. I could use the gold for many other things. But priority is dumping the unwanted, time waste that is the Titan. ? |

What do you expect people paid good money for items only to have them nerfed. Tanking is a must now. Noone wants to be clubbed with their beloved bots so theses lzy scowms can meet a quota on new crap. What good are op snowballs gonna do in the summer events.

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. Titan would not charge after one bot. Even if it does it makes no diff in this situation. I've had my Titan charge after 1 bot. |

Lol...I charged it in one bot, too.....had a IRL moment, parked my bot, dealt with life for almost 3 minutes....got back into game play, charge must have timed out!
Funny part is not only did my team win, but I still out scored almost everyone after a 3 min. Time out, took second.....and never dropped Titan!

No surprise on the damage or kill count. The new thing now I see is to get your 5 or 6 kills with a Leech or 2, then just launch your leveled up Plasma AM and just pick people off for the next few minutes. |
