 How are most of you still so 「fluffernutter」ing stupid after all these years you dont understand how to play beacon modes!?! Like, most of you are 「fluffernutter」ing idiots about this game. |

I still subscribe to my personal theory that non/small spenders (so most players) have kinda accepted that games are really just about the spenders at this point, with the team that has more spenders being the one that wins. These disadvantaged players bring ranged builds to prolong their hangar’s lifespan and do not contest beacons too heavily to avoid getting shredded by meta builds. I myself am guilty of this, because if I see a bunch of Reaper Crisis teammates on a large map, I kinda just set up a lawn chair nearby center beacon and let the battle play out.
This unfortunately has the side effect of putting further pressure on those spending players, thus essentially creating a cycle. But, this is just what happens when the power gap between spending brackets is so great. Maybe I am giving players too much credit since I do not have any real proof, but I think what I think. It worth keeping in mind you are in the lower leagues, so most of your fellow players will/should consist of beginners.

It worth keeping in mind you are in the lower leagues, so most of your fellow players will/should consist of beginners. Yes. You are giving them far too much credit. Lower leagues get no pass. If they're playing a game to get beacons, they need to make an attempt to get beacons. Besides, a healthy chunk of the Expert league players have more won games than I do. They know the deal.
If you're going to play, play to win.
I will submit the below screenshot as an example.
Only two Blues had less than 5000 wins and two of them had over 9000. #1 had the least wins, but had a MK3 Nether and MK3 Mars. No one captured B beacon on the break. I had to capture both A and B. You telling me I should give them a pass? Abso-「fluffernutter」ing-lutely not.
I refuse to give people the benefit of the doubt for something as basic as "kill Red, take their Beacon" if they have 1000 wins. Assuming the old myth of a 50% win rate that means they've had 2000 games under their belt. Give them a break? No.
You know what low level players with over 5000 cups can do even while trying to hide from meta crap? Play something stealthy like a Pursuer or Loki to capture a beacon. Low level players can do more than just run Siren/Harpy and either Bendies or K-Lasers.
If you have low expectations for people, they will never aspire to any level of greatness.
And this isn't greatness. This is basic 「fluffernutter」ing gameplay.

Well, I do get your point and can to an extent sympathize, but then I just think dont play beacon mode if you cant contribute. I dont agree about âbeginnersâ. In general it is pretty clear from the get go what is happening in beacon mode - whoever controls beacons wins the match. Besides, by silver league people should be well versed in 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 to do, and, my low account is in diamond now, so yeah, people are especially idiots by this league when they dont know how to control. Its not just that they are excessively camping; Im also talking about people who wander all over the maps without maintaining any kind of control or situational awareness. When you play a video game, usually you figure out what youre supposed to do pretty quickly, then you get better. Clearly, that does not apply to the players of War Robots lmao, morons |

And this isn't greatness. This is basic 「fluffernutter」ing gameplay. I am not saying you are wrong, but I think this is where we disagree. I simply do not care anymore to get mad over my teammates when it has been well established that the system is ultimate evil of this game, and the mindset that most players are just brain dead zombies that know nothing more than how to tap the controls just feels like a window to more frustration. Thus, I have my theory that these players know what they are doing and for some reason play conservatively. I personally think games won says basically nothing about a player’s power (there are as many <1000 wins Champions as there are >5000 wins Golds), so I do not put much stock in that. When you can buy wins more easily than ever, that number on your profile says less than ever. As for not using Loki/Pursuer for avoiding meta stuff, well, excluding the anti-stealth meta right now, it is really about what Pixonic is selling. Purser has never seen the light day in the offers, and Loki offers are getting rather rare these days, meanwhile there are endless Mars, Angler, and Nether offers. Mars is so popular right now because it is easy to get and requires basically no finesse to play, so people sit in it for minutes as their comfort bot. Plus there is of course how most players want high damage over high beacons, so Mars is an easy pick over Loki. It is just a byproduct of how Pixonic runs the game. I think it is just a matter of how you approach looking at these players. Is it a tanker, a noob kept afloat by money, or an average joe just making do? It is up to you to decide. Sure player intelligence is probably not as high as it once was, but thinking the player base is just a zombie horde is kinda bleak, right? This applies to ѻﻭɼﻉ’s reply too. TDM is a valid suggestion and I agree these players would probably be more at home there, but we cannot control what they play and I am sure most players do not like TDM, so it is what it is… |

Arent most of the people the same ones who dump gobs of cash on Pigsonic on a regular basis, and cant figure out why there stuff gets constantly nerfed, and cant figure out why cheaters run wild?

I've often found that the most impressive $$$ hangars I've ever seen are owned by THE dumbest players I've ever seen.

Yeah, I remember during metas like the Hawk meta there were some real dumb players who thought they could take on Fenrirs without their ability. The last of the overconfident Hawks only went away a year ago! |

how does one play beacon mode against teams of this >? people in the proper league is a rare thing now extra extra rare ......when you traverse the map getting one shot by tankers and hackers beacons became a moot point to any of it really because it's a loss anyways so you might as well just ignore them entirely and just do some damage and try and get a kill or two because there is NO hope......this is gameplay for myself and many many others (others of which are leaving in droves by the way) proof of that last comment is simply the fact that the ever decreasing number of players and increasing number of tankers (not really increasing but because there is less people for them to fight they constantly match the few of us left against them)
