i decided to put this under 'Rants' because of the content of it and for other players to vent their frustration, so I was wondering,p, what is the worst matche(s) you have played during your time here at War Robots? here is a link to my most devastating match I have ever played, a few weeks ago: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/10125/2-6Bit apart from that, besides playing some excellent matches yesterday and the night before that (where I actually got my record of 11 kills in one match - but to be fair, about five enemy robots were already heavily damaged by friendly fire, so not taking credit for killing them, when I didn't take on myself at their full strength!). Today, however, I seem to be having one of the worst runs of luck in all matches that I have ever played since I joined, where I lose all four of my robots just four minutes into the match, despite switching around robots to use, so today seems to be a very off day for me on War Robots to play, with all loses, even with both of my boss Leo's in action, getting taken down in literally seconds. i know it's not anyone's fault but my own, because I have been active rather impulsively in each of the matches to finish the daily tasks, so I have no one to blame but myself for my bad fortune here. but this has got me wondering about what other players have (and hopefully to share) in the way of their worst games whilst playing the matches. Over the last week. Interested to hear some feedback from youse all and if you broke your bad luck and losing streak. :-) you can name the robots you were using, if you do not mind naming them for the matches you were piloting them in, but if you prefer not to say, that's quite alright. - Indra Isles |

As far as killing bots that are already damaged, that's probably how most kills happen, whether you're the one who damaged them first or somebody else. I can't tell you how many kills I've had 'stolen' because I had a red on the brink when I had to reload and somebody else ran in to clean up the scraps. I don't mind when I'm just going for max damage, but when I need the kills, well, you know. But a kill is a kill, so take 'em where you can get 'em.
As for worst matches, I wish I had been recording some of these gems these last few weeks.
- Picking the wrong bot from the start - example, I'll start with the plasma griff, and everything I run into has a shield. Switch to the RDB, and everything I run into now has Ancile.
- Always headed in the wrong direction - I'll move toward a single bot that has partial health, and before I get there it's either been killed or all of its teammates show up out of nowhere.
- Just flat-out outgunned - several games today I was matched up against diamonds and experts. I couldn't do anything. If I wasn't getting fried by gekkos, I was getting wiped out in one salvo. Too many games like that, and that's when I want to put the iPad up on eBay.
I've had several like the one in the OP's link as well. The game either starts short-handed, or one player bails a few seconds into the game, or somebody just parks and does nothing, or any combination of those.
One of my worst games ever was just yesterday on Moon -- somehow half of the red team got camped out under the tunnel of death, and nobody could get past. I don't know what they were shooting, but there was a parade coming out of our spawn area because they were just killing us one after another. After losing two bots there, I decided to try going over the wall to the left. Nope, a couple more reds parked on the bridge waiting for somebody to come over. The only choice was to go around to the far left, but by that time they had a couple of scouts who had grabbed all the beacons and the game was already out of reach. I think I lost all 5 bots in under 4 minutes, but I had done well under 100K damage. It was one of those games where I prayed nobody I know was watching, it was that embarrassing.
Today has been no picnic, either. Had a long stretch this morning where I saw nothing but diamond and expert league players on both sides. I ended up logging out for awhile and then it sort of went back to normal.

Every match after I reached Diamond 2. When I was in Diamond 3, all I faced was Diamond 2 or 1. But, after I got in to Diamond 2, all hell broke loose and I started seeing more and more Experts on the Red team rather than on my team. I made Diamond 2 for the Fifth time last night within a span of just one week and I am currently facing the prospect of being pushed to Diamond 3 again. It's not very pleasant atm.

Worst matches for me are the ones where I'm trying to do a win task. I'm also just wanting to casually play and not super try hard. I get thrown onto a map like canyon or springfield and a butch with trebs or patton/natash gecko just has it out for me. I can't seem to escape his ranged reach and he's placed himself in a very strategic location guarding beacons my team needs and I can't get too. The rest of my team is focused on damage and I feel like i'm the only one trying for beacons but taking a beating. I mech out my first 3 or 4 bots due to frustration and have to play super conservative on my galahad/thunder carny to help as a beacon runner and support. Hate those matches when that happens.

Seems tasks and especially this tourney makes people play goofy. Myself included. Getting so focused on what you need to do and start making mental errors. Jumping into walls or my favorite, jumping in on an almost dead bot and not realizing I have one taran shot left and that dude has fully loaded orkans! Been capping beacons for this event and somehow my win percent went way up and I'm now in challenge for diamond with a severely lacking hanger. 7/9. Couple medium bots at 9. Nothing at 10. I bot out pretty fast. Bad matches have been the norm but they keep putting me on good teams so I keep climbing the ladder. Go figure. Those guys must hate me lol

The one I completed yesterday was the final Trebuchet task. It took me almost two full days to get 9 lousy victories. I'm at Gold II, but there were more than a few matches where we were up against Gold I and Diamond III players in the mix. True, on a few occasions, I had a Gold I or Diamond III player on my side (may have been the 9 battles that I actually won to finally complete the final task). The most galling thing was when I was evenly matched against Gold II and III players, and was just plain [bum-bum] outplayed. It seemed like I was tossing marshmallows, while they were throwing spitballs or something. Whatever they were doing, they were beating the [poo-poo] out of me.
I'm now 1/3 of the way through the second Trident task. The first couple will be pretty easy, the next one will be hard, then the last two will be impossible. No way I'll complete the Trident round before the event ends.
I feel fortunate though. I didn't complete the Trebuchet task during the birthday event, so I'm further along than last time.

I mech out my first 3 or 4 bots due to frustration and have to play super conservative on my galahad/thunder carny to help as a beacon runner and support. Hate those matches when that happens. I know what you mean. So many times on Yamantau, some turkey with a Treb/Gekko will get me in his/her sites and won't let go. It happens occasionally on Canyon or Springfield, but it's more than an occasional thing on Yamantau. I see those two purple beams hit me, I know I'd better scram, because the Treb will soon be heading my way. I like to mess with them by getting within range with my Griff gunship, and plink away at them. They often win, but more than a few times, I've chased them off their perch, and out of their comfort zone. I've taken more than one sniper out with my Griff. If I do that, though damaged and smoking, my gunship has done its part. Even if I lose, I've distracted him/her for a while, allowing my teammates to go after beacons. Now if the turkeys would actually go after beacons instead of trying for high damage. Sometimes they do, but sometimes... That tirade is for another time and place. |

I enjoy battering reds like any other bully. But since last update this game has fallen into 'suck' mode. My biggest gripe constantly being thrown into games late sometimes with all beacons taken. But bad things happen to the reds also and basically I do t care for the league anymore I'm just here for the silver and for now tokens. Here's the 1min & some seconds match I just had. Even though we won its still the worst game ever, most of all for not getting any flippin tokens. Have a good day turning reds into scrap folks.  |

Most my battles are BS, but once i played a 2v6, 4 of who are so called Teammates didn't spawn. And during this event? I can tell only 5% of my battles were actually 6v6.
