Every 3-4 months, to coincide with a holiday. Last one's recently were Halloween, Xmas, Chinese New Year and now 4rth of July.

I'm telling ya, all Pixonic has to do is take the reward away if a player drops too far from the highest ranking. That'll fix tanking for all but the worst Douche holes who just want to stomp the fire out of new players.

Here's a prime example I just got teamed with, Robotron Prime from American Killers. Champion League, 8062 Legendary Pilot, with his 50 game avg sitting at 2.8 kills, 396122 dmg is rocking a 28% win rate. I'm sure his avg dmg is usually much higher, but with the whopping 29k he did in the battle I had with him, combined with that 28% win rate, he's probably off 150k or so.
He's still in Champ league, so he likely just started his dive bombing run today. More stellar performances to come, no doubt!

I have been seeing a lot of players in champion and master league trying to lower their league score. Seen champion league player running all 1/1 cossaks. Or if course just sitting in spawn doing nothing. And everything i between.

I just quit playing when it starts affecting my stats. A 2 or 3 day break is probably a good thing anyway.

Increasing silver rewards for higher leagues would decrease the number of people who do it. |

Increase pay outs and no silver and gold sounds like a plan. I would say also get rid of the leagues. Or make them optional.

"Everybody already tanking" call me nobody then I'm a nobody too. Tanking sounds like a waste of time, really - what an effort! I really enjoy the games, even when the team loses. I only hate it when I play like an idiot. |

I believe they found new way of tanking and I think it has been posted here. You spawn with 1 robot, until you get killed and put the phone down and wait for the game to finish. This guarantee a loss and -22 points.I don't know if Pixo has woken up to it or not, but it is ruining games for the rest of us.
for me to drop down the leagues I will need to loose close to 100 games @ -22 points. That will put me down close to bronze league. But I don't play that way. In the last day , I have had such bad loosing streak. Went from 66% winning and 4.1 kills down to a 2.8 kills and 48% winning. Don't know what to think of it, but I keep playing and have a goal to get at least 100 gold per day. As a matter of fact, as of next month I will keep a record of how much gold I earn per day with a win/loss ratio and map played on.

Apart from the regular tankers/faders the same thing happens every month around 3 -4 days out from the end of the monthly league reset. I go away from any attempt at winning to damage mode only during this time. Games don't even last a full 10 minutes - normally over in 4 -5. Just recently had a game on Yam, got to the ramp on centre beacon and there was NO shooting until 7:53 to go - 1st time I have seen it that bad.

When you generalise you automatically nullify your argument. Players tanking isn't a new occurrence - it happens every day and according to some, it is more evident in the last week of the month. |

I'm sure "Everybody" just meant all the tankers, but yes, it has been on the uptick for a few days, and is very annoying. It wouldn't be quite so bad if it weren't so completely obvious, but a Champion league player launching with a Stalker and doing 22k dmg before fading...I'd rather they just zero.
As I've said many times, Pixonic does not have to punish, just don't reward. IMO, dropping more than a full league rank should be the threshold for rewards being forfeited. A change like this would be announced ahead of time, so anyone dropping that far would know there would be no reward below that point, thus forfeiting their payout.
For clarification, by a "full league rank", I mean Master 1 dropping below Expert 1, or Diamond 2 dropping below Gold 2, etc.
I'd be open to higher payouts at the top, but I don't think it necessary to further reward those who were misbehaving. There's already a payout for victory that everyone enjoys.
BTW, the full league rank thing might be a good guideline for squads, too. Not a hard rule, but a recipe for success in general.

Just do away with the monthly league reset, or fix it so you don't get a reward for re-earning a league ranking you've already achieved.

Noob question, but why would you tank in advance of the event? I get the 'normal' reasons but what's in the event that they can take advantage of?

seanhppl want to place themselves low in leagues / low in mm, in order to have easy, high-yield matches during event. Not worth the fuzz imo.

You have to fight 5 battles to stay in the league you're in at the end of the month. Just like qualifying to move into a new league. If you drop, you can earn it back and get the Au bonus. Thats why people tank and fade near the end of the month. |

The very first time you qualify... yes. But the monthly reset, iirc, only gives you the league reward you re-qualify for, not everything leading up to it... and I'm not sure they are even still doing that... I pay little attention.

You don't get rank up bonuses anymore. You only get them the first time you move up.

During Rogatka Grind my league dropped from D2 to G2, and while I moved up the Leagues, the qualification passed. I received only "qualification" gold reward, it was lower than usual, and now that I'm moving up Leagues I am not receiving rewards for getting where I've been. |

So it makes sense to climb the leagues for better reward when the season is over, right? Still I can't understand why then everybody are tanking/fading before the season end and not an Day 1 of the new season? Can someone explain it for me? :D This sounds like a madness, but actually there are people who are doing that, but have not fact-checked that. So they _claim_ to be getting gold for moving up the league, but have no proof of that. On the other hand, as you probably know, I ended up in Diamond3 the last month's League Reset, with my usual Diamond2. I got gold for being in Diamond3, and after I climbed up to D2 - I got NO gold. And this was clearly written on my League tab in-game. So _MAYBE_ this was the recent change, but I believe it wasn't. So people tank "just in case", loosing monthly gold reward in the process (not much, but nevertheless). |
