As someone who has gone back and forth between G1 and D3 more times than I care to mention, I can confirm I only ever got the advancement bonus once. I got it the first time I went up, at that point in time, not month end, got nothing the other 4/5 or was it 8/10 times.

I think its the customary just in case and hoping the old way of advancement reward allocation comes back. Also likely to be preparing to start the event a few leagues lower.
the real tankathon will commence when the event starts and the LQ will be bursting from all the people getting in there.

This is just normal month end activity. The event may have a little to do with it, but it's mostly folks trying to get to the top of a league. (if they lack the chops to go up, then they go down)

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?  Because then you can start the new season at a low level like this low level player and work your way back up for 3 weeks and start down again.  |

It's better to get end of the season reward, and THEN tank to lower leagues. However it's being discussed already, at the introduction of the Leagues it was possible to get rewards several time. Now it's fixed, but everybody hopes it would be possible again. |

They do it as a matter of course because it is a mindset that they have developed using a fixed point in time to do it. Either way it is happening. Here is another "champion".  |

[...] I only hate it when I play like an idiot. *red-eye mode* engaged this RDB has to die..now! . . . Ah crap.... YES! Every game I'm just like HAHA! RDB CAN NEVER BEAT DB, and then it sounds like this; *Boom* *Kaplow* *Alakazam* and out of the smoke comes the victor! and then me at the store to buy a new tablet. |

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. There are a lot of easy, simple things Pixonic could do to solve tanking. We've handed them obvious cases on a silver platter. But we can't make them give a 「dookie」. |

I was getting clobbered big time on Tuesday by 11/12 hangars in silver leagues. That was real fair. Seems to have evened off a bit now, but I'm still finding myself ob the losing end of a lot of lopsided matches. Like one of today's tasks is to liberate 13 enemy beacons, and for the last two hours I haven't been able to get near one. I usually bang those tasks out in an hour or two, but here it is four hours later and I've only gotten 7 of 13.

I usually bang those tasks out in an hour or two, but here it is four hours later and I've only gotten 7 of 13. I was playing an all light hangar to remedy the monotony of the meta-grind in Gold 3 prior to the event (you can see my previous posts to confirm the truth in this). When the event hit, I switched to my main hangar, except for beacon tasks. After two days of playing I moved back into Diamond 3. As I look at the event and the task list, and it should weed out overmatched hangars pretty quickly. All these tasks equate to wins, which means upward mobility as far as leagues are concerned. Everyone's trying to get the most damage for tokens; win games and cap beacons for tasks. I bet by the end of the week, things will be pretty normal in NQ. |

How much games you have to lose to get from expert to maybe silver league?
50-100?

Why do you need a tanker to answer that? :-D It's a simple math. -22 points if you do nothing. Expert starts at 3200, silver ends at 1699 So (3200-1699)/22 = 68 games MINIMUM. Of course if you got other tanker in team you might end getting -17 and not -22, that would be 89 games. So it's 68~89 battles. |

Wow, incredible, think about the time you waste for nothing to do this... We have summer here and they spending so much time for this, and disturbing games for hundrets of people. I really can not understand it.. |

Wanna know something funny. I have won more gold in matches during this event and have a 70% win/rate. I think most of the tankers dropped below me as I haven't done this well in months. Android Diamond 1.
Or the matchmaker is going to make me lose for 4 days straight real soon....
