I was doing fine in BR (and slowly moving up) until Sunday and then it went to hell in a hand bag over the day. Could also be I was tired and fudging around instead of actually playing my best. In less than two hours of Domination, I was able to win all the league points back... don't know what this tells me other than I'm yo-yoing at Expert these days. It tells you that you're considerably better at Dom in the current "today's meta" than BR. Also, that the current momentary state of the meta in BR is something you're not very good at handling.

Just like with the flaming beard, this is an indicator that you're just not very good at it yet. Having your ranking go down with your wins is the game telling you that your skills aren't up to snuff with other people of similar ranks. My situation is that I'm still gaining league score while losing games.
And I call ?Cow Chips? on that. I can walk into Domination and I'm right back to the same league rating (no change in hangar at all). What I can't control in BR is all the damn campers/snipers that infested the game method two days ago and just severely tanked my rating over a Sunday afternoon. Exactly. You're fine at Dom, but you're not as good at BR yet as other people of the same score. This isn't an insult, it's statistics. Being good at one mode does not mean you're good at both. You'll notice I complained of the same predominance of snipers, too.

My win rate has also tanked (was 60% now 38%), but my ranking also tanked was 3630 went as low as 3485 or nearly 150 points. Stopped BR mode and went right back to domination mode now back at 3590 league points and a 44% win rate.

As my bot dies, all my missiles that are 'in flight' seem to disappear and no damage is taken by the opposing bot, almost as if I have never fired them..... Is this a glitch? Yes, it is true that your firings will disappear at the same moment when you are destroyed. It might not be a glitch - instead it might be that it is easier to code when game don't have to run and track "parentless" objects (eg. missiles). Not doing damage for your missiles "in the air" etc when you are destroyed is not a glitch, it is a deliberate game mechanic. Expended ammo disappearing when you die = working as intended. BlackGrouse has this one closest. Demosthenes and U Camp = I Camp have it wrong. Pix has acknowledged this as a bug and said they were working on fixing this more than six months ago. It has to do with the fact that they coded the projectiles as part of the visuals of the firing robot and this had unintended consequences in terms of when the missiles disappear. Pix has several times said they *do* want the missiles to continue to exist and deliver damage, but obviously haven't yet delivered on this long-standing promise. It was supposed to happen at or about the time leagues were implemented.

Have you been in Diamond 1 yet? I imagine there would be a lot of players who went to Diamond 1 and REALLY didn't like it there. There may be players in Diamond 2 who are trying to stay there on purpose. Anything in there that might explain what you're seeing? That is an interesting (and frightening) hypothesis, but this is something acts only happened in the last week or so and I haven't been to D1 yet. (If I played more than a few games per day I'd be out of D2 already, but reality is what it is.) The biggest actual change I've seen is just the increase of snipers and the correlated drop in my win rate. I should look at my teammates the next few games. I wonder if I'm getting lower-leaguers specifically to drop my win%.

I think I know what's happening here, but I wanted to check with folks here to confirm. My win% in BR just started taking a massive dive again. My placement in the rankings, however, has stayed high and as a result my points are still climbing quite steadily overall. My read on this is that my performance is good by the MM has just been wonky for me. Does that seem right? (iOS, D2) I've noticed more and more snipers sitting back in BR, especially on bigger maps. I'm generally meching out before them because they aren't fighting for beacons like me. As a result, I hit the occasional game where they cause MUCH more damage, but again, my scores are still increasing overall much faster than they did pre-BR. Is anyone else seeing this? Is my conclusion making sense or am I missing something? (inB4: Firebeard complained recently of similar challenges, but his score was NOT increasing, leaving him stuck in Silver. The important distinction here is that my score is still rising at a steady and predictable rate.)

I'm glad to read so many supportive, enthusiastic reviews of BR. I'd urge everyone to take a sec and send Pixo a note voicing the very same sentiments. IMHO, the more good reviews and choruses of "WE LOVE BEACON RUSH", the greater the chances it becomes a permanent fixture in War Robots. I guarantee it's something they're also checking here for feedback. ...if not personally, then through the Insiders on staff.

I do think I see a spark emitting from your leg. I'm guessing you had leg damage though. No critical damage at all would be a flipping miracle akin to walking on water...with a robot. His jump still works. Therefore, no leg damage. (!) ?

I avoided BR for a few days because he premise seemed broken to me. ....but I haven't even played any Domination since I tried it. All of a sudden my brickfighters are back in their element, my win rate is over 60% again, I'm topping the game results again, and everything feels back to "right" with War Robots again. I am NOT looking forward to the mode going away. ?

Are you saying these "training" hangars are hangars that anybody can jump into? And so a noob of 1 day could choose one of these "training" hangars and play heavies in a custom match against others on day 1? Or conversely a champion player could jump into a "training" hangar? I am asking your opinion of either. Should there also be another option that's a little more advanced but not expert / master / champion? I've said a few times that I wish there was a daily "hangar of the day" to use where you opt to use it, Pix adjusts the levels to be equal to your current hangar (determined by your last 10 or so matches), and then you're thrown into your regular league queue. You could play the HotD as many times as you wanted, but not modify it in any way and none of the equipment would actually be yours. Each night the HotD would change and here would be a new set of gear that you could experiment with.

Corinne is an end-game player with maxed bots. Are you? And trust me, the release will NOT be imminent. Never mind that this all ignores the idea that since you're not a whale you'll still be chasing the meta instead of riding the wave. Well, you don't have to be a maxed end-game player to start saving for Dash. I feel that if you got yourself 4 Orkans, a 5th slot and a few gold bots for you to play decently with, you should be saving and not blowing it on Gekkos or Jesses. Oh, totally. ...and you're right, my response wasn't terribly clear there. My post (that he's already read), however, was much clearer. It doesn't change that he's obviously not a whale, though.
