Wiki Anti Clubber Clan?

Pairing with players who aren't clubbing *spark spark* contradicts the idea of anti-clubbing? How'd you come to that conclusion? The goal of the clan is to set an example for common non-clubber folk advertising the wiki to bring people in and learn them right.

Ya, but the underlying objective is to cut the flow of clubbers at the source of new players, so by adding a few more clubbers into the mix, to educate noobs how to beat clubbers without becoming clubbers themselves, we achieve a long term goal of reducing the seal clubbing population.

i have thought this through.

It's simpler than that. Play full bore until clubbers are eliminated. After that, do the minimum needed to ensure the win.

One way is to get a comfortable but not commanding beacon meter lead and then (if you have slots left), put the tablet down and watch to see if your newbie teammates can protect it, simulating a network disconnect. If it gets too close for comfort, come back in to save the day. And if you don't have slots left, then back off into a supporting role, playing conservatively.

You don't have to play easier or rougher with any specific player. All lessons will be valid. If they do well, they should have valid chances for medals and deserve them. If they need saving, they will see it happen and know they needed help.

Regardless, the only thing necessary for this to be an improvement is for the match to be more interesting and fun than it would have been had the clubber romped. This is, realize, a very low bar, where the misleading "lesson" is that they could do the same if they bought a Gep.

I'm not holding my breath on Pixonic really fixing this because they have a strong financial incentive not to. They are not selling the game. They are selling unfair advantages is the game. These are not meta players. They are exploiting a loophole. The best way to close it is not to ban Geps, but for them to have a MM penalty like the Gareth. Players that buy them will still get value because they will have essentially leveled up quicker.

Why the long wait? That's probably one line of code.

Barkley and Reggie Miller actually admitted that that sometimes they let lousy teams hang around until the final quarter and then turn it on at the end to win. That's cruel.

PrioritiIng clubber in the uncontrolled environs that we have at the battle field just leaves you to get annoyed by the randoms. And let's be fair, quad spirals in the back still hurt even if from a noob. It can even kill you. It's not possible to ignore the noobs and just focus on the clubbers. Even Zenits can put you off enough to make the diff between life and death when engaging clubbers (we I assume we are talking mag geps)


And what does "doing the minimum to ensure the win" mean?  What if you and the noob are the only ones left and you are down to your last bot.  U let him hit you a few times before killing him?  What if then he suddenly spawns in his "backup" mag gep?  So many variables to consider.  Too many in fact just to try and rid bronze of clubbers without bullying the accompanying noob reds whom you will not know if they are real noobs or not until the end of a match

I agree that the clubbing definition might be a tad broad. Generally we are talking about those level 30s who are still sticking to silver, whether cos they like it or cos they are "farming".
I personally feel that once players reach low silver, they are free game.

The biggest difference is that you KNOW you are up against Kobe or Lebron etc.  You bring ur A game knowing you most likely will get beat and you are there for a lesson.  And Cmon, the kids there know that these stars are out of their league and cutting them some slack.

but the players in bronze have no idea who you are. They think you are a peer.  It's kinda like hustling pool...  sorry, I know I'm spamming sports analogies. 

In any case, the new MM might render all of this moot.

Prioritizing targets by how dangerous they are to you would not mean ignoring the newbies. Indeed, I think it's pretty standard strategy in any match.

The minimum doesn't mean the absolute bare minimum. You leave a margin of error to account for the variables. Just look at the beacon meter to decide how safe your lead is to determine how aggressive you need to be. I do that all the time at Yamantau, actually. For your scenario, if you and a newbie are the last ones left and you are down to your last bot, look at the beacon meter. If you're up, run from them into cover. If they're up or the meters are even, eliminate them immediately.

This is irrelevant to the point that NBA stars do not indeed always bring their A game. The situation in which they do not is very similar to this one, when they are playing somebody not in their league, literally. Indeed, that the War Robots player thinks you are a peer makes it easier to sell the closeness of the match.

One big difference is that War Robots players have daily tasks to work towards and would be more able to make progress. Also, these players are not top tier like the NBA, and there are no practice squads in War Robots, making matches the only practice opportunity. The practice/educational value of a more even match thus has value to them.

The difference between what they did and the players in the video is purely the finish. Toying with an opponent and then humiliating them is not what they did because they usually did not finish off the drives with a thunderous in-your-face dunk. The War Robots equivalent would be keeping it close and THEN meching them out while taking all 5 beacons (still less bad than clubbing for the aforementioned reasons).

Learn a lesson in humility? Pffffft humility is for the weak...
