Left about a year ago. Forums were salty from p2w system back then along with tankers and clubbers and OP bots aka dash bots, spectrains.
Now i see life in the forums. Seems a lot of people are enjoying War Robots once again.
Played a few games. Havent seen 1 bot dominating the game. Variety of weapons used unlike before where everyone was taran orkan or shocktrain.
This is nice.

welcome back!
Oh trust, there is still much vitriol and anger... but I think the majority of forum goers have accepted this inescapable reality of the game, and learned to just roll with the punches as well as discuss ways to overcome the game's issues. there is still very much a meta that rules the game, currently Leech & Ao Jun, and Phantom depending on who you ask... energy shotgun spam, avengers, storms spam, and lots of phase shift spam. Im sure a few other rage items people have clinged too.
but no, overall, ya the game is fun still! I loved classic War Robots even with less variety options... and still enjoy it with expanded variety, although everything is way more expensive and way tougher to grind out these days lol. *shrug* YMMV
stick around! Try and rebuild your hangar, it is honestly still a lot of fun!

OMG a positive post on the forum and game I am getting my diary out fast.....
Most the haters on the forum have left or changed how they post. If you are going to play you need to be able to handle Pix is who they are.
There is more verity out there for sure, of course there are a few OP bots and weapons that the cool kids have. What I have seen is with pilots, Phase shift and the like many good pilots can do well with non meta.
Welcome back and happy hunting!

Its nice though. Much better when i left. Ive handled a few Ao Jun's with stalker gust. Unlike before where id get shot by a stray shocktrain bounce from a spectrain.
Its more manageable today than last year in my opinion.
Although i do see something thats ridiculously still heavily p2w. Titans.
Damn those things are horrible borderline disgusting in terms of balance. 900k shield @lvl1 on one. The one with the wall, Arthur i think? Deploy 5 of that in one team it becomes a one sided battle.
Dunno. Or maybe im under equipped? Embers? RDB cant burst it. But i do have fun today more than last year.
P.S. I do love my stalker gust. So fun playing hide and seek. Will get pursuer next. Haha.

Most the haters on the forum have left or changed how they post. It's the standard War Robots curve: 1. Start off all bright eyed and positive about this amazing game that you have found on a phone (a phone!). 2. Realise that it is run by some cynical Russian dudes and get all butt hurt about them ruining this thing that you like and play a lot (that'd be me then) 3. Ultimately accept that you can suck it up or pack it in. Some people get stuck on stage 2 and pop in for a fight occasionally, with hilarious consequences.

I don’t know how it used to be one year ago, but I can tell you that saltiness turned into flat out hatred towards pixonic, just take a look at the youtube comments section next time pixonic releases a video. The reason you see life in forums is because the progress is so slow in game that players resort to forum for entertainment. As far as variety on battlefield, it is a thing in lower & mid leagues only. As you get higher up, you’ll see it is all about Leech, Ao Jun and Ares up in there with occasional phantom with shotgun weapons and pulsars... I think your enthusiasm is because of that 1 year break you took, give it a month and you’ll feel differently.

Play a little more. I will agree that there is more diversity of builds out there but there are still a handful of bots that are vastly more powerful than others and dominate the game.

Nah the titans are supposed to be overpowered since you only get one. They aren't game breaking and are fairly fun so not much of a problem. I recommend you try out either strider or mercury, they are both fun and since you seem to understand the importance of fun in a GAME they should appeal to you. good hunting!

I cant shake the feeling that Im watching a kid walk into a busy highway. I just want to reach my hand out and save you lol I wish I had something good to say for advice here but so much has changed. Im just hoping you dont get disheartened and push on through to build a hangar you are happy with for what the game is these days. One positive thing about your timing is that Titans are still pretty much brand new. We only just got them so if you start leveling your up now, It will still be as competitive as the rest of us. Good luck and happy hunting!

I think your enthusiasm is because of that 1 year break you took, give it a month and you’ll feel differently. You know, not everyone needs to march to the top of champs and not everyone has to hate this game. I love the game just not the meta or pix BS, I play in low champs where I get tons of games that have diverse bots being played with only a few matches containing more than 10 leech and ao jun (which is my line for to many). Even those matches aren't bad, I just have to dodge around those enemies which adds a certain hide and seak feel to the game. Most often I see teams of non meta randoms easily killing off leech and ao jun because we team up while the meta players are alone by choice. If you couldn't tell by now there is a lot more to this game that is fun than there is things that are terrible, in fact I love how the meta is for the reason I just listed, it promotes teamwork and tactics for those who don't pay making most of us exceptional players. I get your frustration but don't turn others away from the game, teach them based off your mistakes so they can have fun and not leave this awesome game. You just have to learn to accept the losses you will get (although put up a fight) and make sure you recognize the smaller victories within those losses, then you will have fun in this game.

OP, I am going to take your post at face value and assume you are in gold.
For starters the dash bots and shock trains on specs were op more than a year ago but in any case the game has changed a lot since. Back at that time you were obliterated by that build because of the huuuuge amount of tankers in lower leagues some of whom had maxed gear. Today maxed tankers are very rare in lower leagues for many reasons. Your success against metabots comes down mostly to them being under equipped and under leveled. Highly levelled modules and pilots make a huge difference. As to titans, they are balanced for champion league play. That’s why the Arthur looks so menacing to you. In mid leagues people deploy titans as soon as they can because they are OP there.
The true nature of the game can be seen when you reach masters. The effects of the points system and the match maker will get you there really fast. Let us know with a follow up post what your impression is of the game when you get there and have spent a bit of time there.

no, worst than ever.
it's so bad, it's become like RL. meaning we just ignore the top 1%. It's a 2 class system, the haves and haves not.
the rest of us are serfs. gotta 「fluffernutter」ing grind all day for barely enough to survive. and the system has become government handouts.
o yea, the system keeps you down. no doubt bout that. if ya think u can change class and move on up, forgetaboutit.
As of Jan 2020, the meta bots are Leech, and maybe 1 phantom or 1 Ao Jun for beacon cappers. Ming for the giant robot with the 600m titan Goon version weps. But the free players are all running AJs since that's the best bot available to them, so you'll hear more complaints about how OP they are and ignore the more OP bots, so yeah weird.
the only silver lining is the rise of Hover and skill bots. the bot hit the 2 year mark and still very relevant in high champs. I use one. Getting a 2nd ready, shotty weps but give me 3 to 6 months lol.

Let us know with a follow up post what your impression is of the game when you get there and have spent a bit of time there. ahh, you are being a bit rough with him. The meta is fairly easy to beat (if you play smart) and titans are a bit under leveled in champs so they will be stronger than most bots in the worst case when properly leveled. Even low champs is doing very well for me, only 1/3 of the games end up with more than 10 leech or ao jun (past which it becomes annoying) but even then there are very close games with lots of fun. Also there is a noticeable drop in death squads because leech doesn't gain anything from teammates while the last meta, well one phrase that we don't want to hear again, ares trains. This difference also causes leech players to stray away from the enemy team making them an easy target for smart groups of players. As I explained in my last post this lead to players being better at random teaming up.

The ones you purchase in lower leagues are not OP and think twice before doing so.

Haha. it's good to be in rn. Titans just came out few weeks ago, and the system is handouts. Just play a few games each day, and stand in line for the soup (aka PT.) So most titans are still weak. Everyone gets a free titan when they reach lvl 30 in their account. There's only 3 different flavors. The free one they give is not bad. Has DR and DM (dmg resistance and DR mitigation). Mostly the free players have saved up enough Pt, and so the Arthurs are just starting to show up. For free players, consensus is that it's the best of the 3. For wallet warriors, the flying Ming is just unstoppable. But free players that try to buy a Ming, it'll be too weak and a flying blimp. yea, get Embers, Ignitiers, and flame weps. Also machine guns are back in big time, those noob weps you see down in bronze - gold. Avengers, Punisher T, all the bullets will hit so it does insane amounts of DPS. Rockets also bypass the shield, so Orkans, Exodus, or the new Cyro weps are 20% stronger than orks. Ya can try n build a flamer Inky (ember and igniter? or whatever the medium is call). Or Ao Jun (Ao Jun the flying fire breathing dragon). Go Ember Ao Jun or Avenger Ao Jun. High Ground is OP and will shoot over the big guy's shield so you don't need to break it.

Yes, actually I enjoy the variety of bots. Just got a free Leech with skins and Legendary pilot and used it at L1 for some fun. Tmr another Leech coming soon in WS...only had to bake 1000 comps for it, easy 3 days wait.
Just rmb, don't expect to win against P2W players if you are F2P. Just enjoy the game.

Click on Legend League if you want to better understand that there is still a serious P2W OP god-bot problem. The P2W power gap today makes many players long for the Dash-Bots days. And tankers remain my single biggest complaint in the game today. Find your fun where you can and don’t sweat the small stuff.

I think the leech giveaway and silver overdrives and mk2 overdrive helped.
I think the veterans are salty because we remember maxed Griffin's and fun slow bot life, not this PS, speed ridden nightmare.
But my reflexes have improved and I'm back in Champions League.
