As the battlefield gets crowded with Titans springing up like unwanted weeds within three minutes I thought, how could it be moderated to provide a better battlefield experience ? - Only Two Titans per team at a time in game
- Titans only allowed at minute 8
- 1st come 1st serve - whoever requests first at start of 9th minute enters the battle pot.
- The Whales stay happy as they can still dominate the stage, but now they will be running a duet instead of a six man death squad
This will allow the other micro bots to continue the fight and you do not feel like you have been thrust into a clone match with 6 flying AMs that all look the same.

at minute 8??? they only gonna go halfway into the battlefield before the game ends... 2 per team still is a pain, and the whales wont be happy until they rob the titans, then people will only be in squads with peope only requesting with PM, or TM. its a good start though

more plausible is something like starting with 1 allowed at 5 minutes, 2 at 6, and etc every minute thereafter.
honestly tho just nerf the titan guns. They’re way too strong.
Also ming should have less hardpoints. It’s flying, and can heal, and has DR on the ground, AND the most firepower? cmon pix

Or. How about you strengthen your Titan to lend your team a hand at getting rid of the Titans on the field.
Some of us who aren’t big spenders have worked on our Titans too, and would not like it if they nerfed what we are patiently building.
I’ve gotten used to the Titans spawning early. The fact of the matter is if they don’t, we will face multiples of them in the latter part of the game. If some spawn early they can be isolated and we won’t have to face a bunch of them at one time which is harder to handle.

Yeah, titans are where Pix is earning most of its bread right now so most of those types of limitation just won’t happen.
I would like to see the threshold for filling the titan meter doubled or more. I do believe you should have to earn the ability to drop it into battle vs just cap a few early/unguarded beacons and get a few kills. 3-4 titans on the field in the first 2 minutes of a game is a bit much IMO.

In an unbalanced game you can only have fun at the expense of others. And Titans are the most unbalanced things in the game right now.

I think theres a problem with blues not dropping their Titans in a match. In a match yesterday I dropped my Titan when reds had 4 or 5 on the field. Far as I can tell I was the only blue Titan to drop. Just little bots running around doing whatever. We lost of course. Drop your Titans! Especially in mid late game when red has four!

The only thing I see happening realistically is for pix to delay dropping. I think if things were delayed to the 5 minute mark then that'd be a nice step in the right direction.

Haha true. at first it was like F pix but now everyone has them. no upgrade times I figure keep saving n then I could just instamax one if I want. playing stock I get to spend more time in my regular bots which are more fun and it’s still useful, I’ll drop it to murder a DR bot or slow down another titan.

The laser ming is way too OP and there are too many around IMO now that the dolphins maxed them or near maxed them with the cheaper platinum offers. They need to be nerfed and i reckon the writing is on the wall for the ming nerf or the nerfing of its weapons. They are too unbalanced, without a counter and there are too many of them in the air and as a result the games are becoming boring.
The impact of titans is too great especially in TDM. The outcome is frequently pot luck since the team with more laser mings wins. Only a few maps provide sufficient cover to partially mitigate their presence. The relevance of small bot has practically declined to a stage where the legit question of whether to level them or not has to be asked.
I reckon they will be nerfed for three reasons: 1. significant decline in game quality. 2. Too many people are using them 3. Pix will want Ming owners to spend again by transitioning to Nodens. if they spent once they will spend again. And then the cycle starst over with Nodens but at least they wont be as prolific as laser ming for some time and game quality will return.
Nothing is constant in this game and i cant see the lase mings to be an exception.

I do appreciate the OP, and I like the suggestions. It's all a bit moot, though.
The 'fix' to Titans will be Supertitans. Attainable under a new currency (blood diamonds), these monstrosities will dwarf current poxy Titans. Instead of hardpoints, they will have actual Titans for limbs. Arthurs for legs, Kids for arms and an Au Ming for a head.
Ah no (I hope), I like the two limit idea in the OP. Very easy to implement on a first come first serve basis, and would allow more tactical support. For example, healer bots dropping in to keep a precious titan alive. It would allow the possibility (if not probability) of 3 bots cooperating to take down, say, an Au Ming. I had a game against 4 Au MIngs a while ago; all at the same time. Not sure if they were maxed, but their plasma shots cracked my 「fluffernutter」ing laptop screen.
I didn't enjoy that game.

Dash bots, spectre,leeches and now Titans. Let the pissing and moaning continue. The difference is they gave everybody one. So either level it and use it or keep getting hammered because they are here to stay. I will be getting a new one with MY SAVED PT and I am going max the ?dookie? out of it to stomp on non titans and to compete with other Titans.

Create a separate titan mode and let them have at it, can even bring back king of the hill just for titans, let the rest of us get back to normal

I will be getting a new one with MY SAVED PT and I am going max the ?dookie? out of it to stomp on non titans and to compete with other Titans. I reckon there will be a change. Maybe a switch to nodens which has limited availability but the Ming is gone. Just a matter of time. Money and effort down the drain for those who have spent as usual. Just played a game in TDM. I killed 4 bots and the rest of the team combined killed one becasue they were from Masters 3 to low 5K Champs. Level 9/9s agaisnt a maxed hanger with a 150 laser ming. As soon as the laser ming appeared people stopped dropping bots and the game finished 5:18. i couldnt be bothered to drop the 3rd bot. Whats the point. 6 vs 1 and i knew i topped the table already on the losing side. Whats the point for the guy with the laser Ming too? Seriously, to collect clan cups or to feel good about going to a fist fight with a machine gun? This is happening more and more. This sort of game play is not sustainable. its not about pissing and moaning but about people not playing and game after game becoming a waste of time. I can handle tankers on my team. Its a challenge. But when the entire team vanishes thats crap. While i have a decent well leveled hanger there is no point in playing under the circumstances. Now i have to join the BR and Dom crowd more as TDM as a mode is seriously flawed due to incredible lack of balance. OP is right. There is a problem. This is a bigger one than the ones before it and needs a solution. The problem will manifest itself soon in a big way in DOM and BR too.

A titan penalty = if you drop in with a titan, your team will gain beacon progress slower, rate penalty could be like -0.5 beacon per titan. So with full titan team, even if you control all beacons, you gain progress just like having two. Good luck winning...

I will be getting a new one with MY SAVED PT and I am going max the ?dookie? out of it to stomp on non titans and to compete with other Titans. Well said! This thread is silly. Pix isn't going to limit the use of titans like the OP suggested, that's just ridiculous. What are we supposed to do if all our regular bots are dead but the clock hasn't reached "titan level" yet or if there's too many titans already on the field? Are we just supposed to wait and be happy watching the action until our titan can drop? I also find it ridiculous that people are now complaining about all the Mings. To me, it sounds like buyers remorse. It wasn't long ago that a lot of people here proclaimed that Arthur was the best titan because it was the most battle ready right out of the box, while others understood the Mings potential. Now that the potential is reality, everyone that invested in an Arthur or Kid wants the Ming to be nerfed instead of living with their poor choice or getting a Ming themselves. Let's be real, the Ming isn't going to be nerfed anytime soon, so get used to it. Pix history of nerfs tells us at least a year has to pass before they nerf something that's new. Plus there are counters! Outside of Ming on Ming violence or a good Arthur, the 3 newest products that pix has released all do well especially against Mings (Nightingale, Noden, and the new titan weapons). I've also had success with Ares and Calamity Ao Jun vs Mings. Instead of complaining about bots and weapons that you suck against and wanting them nerfed, how about you look at yourself and try to get better. In this game there will always be something new that is better then you; you have to adapt.

I say just up the requirements a bit before you can drop one so the top players aren't in their maxed Mings in the first 2 minutes of the game. Then maybe around the 8:00 minute mark allow anyone to drop theirs just so players who do not hit the requirements can still use their Titan.
