Poll above should be self-explanatory.
I've gone from Android Diamond 3 to Diamond 1 during the event, with essentially 9/9 hangar. And upward movement continues still... Expert seems plausible goal!
I'm actually a bit worried about this. If this is because of event time tankers, it doesn't take much imagination to guess what happens after the event... means I have to hurry if I need to make it to Expert before event ends...
As an aside, Diamond 1 is kinda cool. I got just drawn into same team with squad of 5 Champions, first time. Was last in damage but got Medal of Capture (playing my normal hangar), so kinda happy about the battle. Might not have been as cool for those in the red team, but eh, in this game I happily take the good stuff when it happens, because it'll be balanced by bad stuff soon enough.

Started going up, but then tried some different loadouts. All 1/1 to start, so obviously my damage and league rating dropped. If I had stayed with my normal loadouts I'd probably be in Diamond III or Diamond II right now, and my best bot is 6/7. The event incentivizes you to play as many games as possible. And if you're capable of doing a lot of damage, you're naturally going to climb a lot. My new loadouts were partially for fun and partially to control my damage output so I don't end up in high Diamond with an average 6/6 hangar by the end of the event.
iOS btw.
Edit: Changed my vote from about the same to other. Since I haven't naturally stayed the same (my hangar change is what kept me around the same), didn't think I actually fit that category.

Went up 2 levels, it's a pain in the arse. Kill tasks have gotten a dam sight harder, ability to impact on the match outcome is also seriously reduced, some games I mise well be a spectator. There are herds of ancilots roaming all over the place. Luckily beacon tasks are still the same, appears beacon blindness transcends the league structure.
I kind of assumed it's a temporary event thing and I would drop back down when it runs it course, kind of hope it does, failing that I'll see if the wiki has a guide to tanking?

I''ve gone from Silver I to Gold I (iOS) during the event. I expect to hit Diamond III by tomorrow night.
I attribute it to:
1). an amazingly lucky haul of new bots & guns on the first day of the event;
2). finally caving in and adding DB to hangar;
3). higher players tanking for event purposes
Post-event, I expect a rapid fall back to Gold II, since that's probably where my skill level actually is.

Just some 150 points on Android, barely touching qualification for Gold. I might be Gold by the end of this event.

Seemed normal to me. Some wins, some beatdowns. Went from Diamond 3 to Diamond 2. I was already hangin' in the top of Diamond 3, so maybe +75. I haven't been overly active though. Every weekend has had test open, which is where I've spent most of my free time.

I was at the border of Expert I / Master III going into event. I qualified and held M III for a week then fell just below before event started. Just going up and 4000 - 4100 cups. I fell back Expert I starting on Trebuchet task 3 (9 wins), War Robots fell to 30% :/

All this losing, and I went down a tier. Also had connection issues 1 night. And i rage quit after getting clubbed by Champions. Also saw a Champion blue near the centre beacon of Yamantau, and then keep charging to his death. I had to run and try and cap it. |

diamond 1 to expert III. Lots of beacon capping hangers means that win rates can swing hard sometimes. I'm test running a lvl 8 hanger right now full of set ups I don't normally use so my point swings are in the 150 range.

I was up by 400 league points and at 70% wins, now I'm paying for that with an epic series of losses, currently down at 45%. Fortunately, my league standing has remained roughly at it's peak due to top 3 finishes.
(All during the event)

I hit Gold I a day or two after the event started (my second time there). Didn't really change my hangar of mostly heavy 8/8's and 8/9's for the event, except I ran my 11/10 Gary a little more often for the beacon capping than I normally would. During that early Gold I stage, I saw myself being matched with lower Gold members and high Silver members against Gold I, Diamond III, and even a Diamond II reds. Needless to say, I didn't stay in Gold I very long. I was in the top three scorers more than half the time, but when I wasn't, the point loss was pretty horrific. I plummeted down to Gold III, and thought for sure that I'd be at Silver I by today. Luckily, I've clawed my way back to Gold II and am almost halfway back to Gold I. If it hadn't happened to me before, I would have blamed the event for my sudden nose dive. Although some of the event prizes seem more difficult to obtain. When you need to cap beacons, you're spawned after the match begins. When you need to destroy robots, you're matched against a team heavy with snipers and buffed hydras. I'm not saying that I'm paranoid, but I think they're out to get us.

Fortunately, my league standing has remained roughly at it's peak due to top 3 finishes. (All during the event) 2017.07.04  2017.07.16  Same here, went up around 450 points since event started. My highest win rate was 70% in Expert 3 with 500k average damage, but hit the wall after entering Expert 2, win rate went straight down to 38% yesterday. There are at least 2~4 champion players in every match now, and my hangar is serious underpowered, so I usually gain few points by winning in 4th/5th place or losing in 1st/2nd, then have a tight match that I deal 600k damage but still the 6th player on lose team... |

The 2-3 days I kept adjusting to play the Event Tasks - like using more runners for the beacon task or rockets to increase kills, etc.
Found my league points, damage, win percentage going down while chasing the Event Tasks. Since silver intake is my chief concern, I gave up on the Event Tasks and just played like normal and my wins/silver when back to where it was before the event.

League points are up about 300. Was bouncing against the wall at E3, now knocking on the door of E2.

Have jumped up significantly (android), from Silver2 to the cusp of Gold2 and room to grow I think.
This is largely from me playing the meta hangar more to grind for event and silver but even my normal light bot hangar is progressing up rapidly. It is not uncommon to find my light bot hangar getting top damage on the team. In Gold2. On Android.

At one point I'd gone up to Expert 1 (from 3). I've lost a lot of ranking points recently, though. Surprisingly, I'm only down to Expert 3 and not lower.

I ended up peaking at Gold I, and I'm now solidly in Gold II.
I have the feeling that part of the purpose of events is to help rebalance the game. Get kit into the hands of free players that have the skills to rise up, and balance the tiers against those of us that are what you call "wallet warriors".
For giggles, I charged up an iPod Touch I haven't used in a year and started over on Sunday morning. No real money, just event stuff and farmed gold. Made it to Silver II before end of the day with a decent 4-slot hangar. It's actually fun to do that, and definitely demonstrated the effect of event-won weaps and bots to lower tier players.
