After destroying 1/2 the enemy ranks and about 60% of the total damage our team was in great stead, missing a usual 5th bot I thought I'd watch our victory from the side lines. I got to watch this:  This fool stayed here for 2 mins with a red beacon next to him unguarded for at least 90s. Moral of the day, NEVER clock out early and expect others to finish! |

Ah well, don't judge him too hard. He is probably one of the players, that were born blind.... Or maybe he is just colorblind  He could also just have fallen asleep, with his forehead on his touchscreen... who knows  |

Either way it's not looking good for your team. You are outmanned and they have 4 beacons. It's gona be difficult for 2 people to prevent a push for the 5th beacon.

Or he could have just taken it and stood there...by the time he was killed the bar would have wound down. We had would have had 3-2 when I first started watching. But then again this is Silver..  Besides my gear levels I look like a tanker... |

Got complacent wanted to get another beer so I mag dumped into a leo for silver and meched out. |

If he pushed to B beacon he would've died well before he got there. Considering the two reds are a Leo and a Natty, I'm inclined to believe they didn't just pop out of nowhere, so were probably close by for a while. That said, he's got a pretty useless setup on that thing. Which is also a product of LQ. With 3 faders and 2 leavers in the same match, I'm inclined to believe this isn't in the normal queue. |

Unfortunately, I have watched several games go down the tubes because they wouldn't just survive. Even in freaking Stalkers that had room and time to get anywhere away from the bad guys. "Oh, a DB Griff? My Last stand! I shall stand firm for the Blues! AAAATTTTAAAAACCCCKKKK!" When we had the bar dominance. It's... frustrating. LOL.

I did take a while, was just sipping beer watching him walk in circles for about a minute and a half trying to use his one gekko. In the end I thought I might as well take a photo of this. Had he taken it when it was clear those heavies would have never walked there in time. And no it's not LQ  Dunno what's LQs criteria but I doubt I've lost enough games yet to even get in LQ. That said it appears even new players have learnt the dirty really quickly. |

Ah well...they're new and some learn slower than most. Still you should see how quickly noobs learn to tank and fade... It's so fun to take out level 8 PDBs with lv5 punishers against those who know how to tank but not take cover...or aim. |

Yeah, I know. Have a Silver acct for squads with Clanmates that are Silver. I don't play it too often now other than to get daily victories, unless squadding. But playing it to get to Silver, yeah, I saw. Unfortunately, it is one of those things. I know people who play other games where dropping leagues is normal and it is accepted... unless people read up on the subject here before hand, they wouldn't know that it is the exact opposite in War Robots. If it didn't affect anyone else's game... like in those other games... then it might be less of an issue.
It does, however.

I got to watch this: You're missing the truly awesome part of this image. The guy in the screencap isn't an idiot. He's a friggin' genius. He tweaked the game to get the laser light show out of his Thunder. He is..........a real man of genius and I salute him accordingly. |

After playing this game for some time both in and out of clan, and in both LQ&RQ, I've relaxed and consider the real idiots to be the people who take this game way too seriously that they whine all the time and/or treat others disrespectfully. Gotta lighten up and enjoy ? |

THIS. TOTALLY THIS. I have had so many games recently where I cap at least 5 beacons but my "teammates" get 1's or 0's. I can't wait until Pix puts Deathmatch mode in so then all these guys that want to just blow crap up can have a field day. Also, Pix should get rid of the win/loss stat as you are 1/6th of a team and thus at the mercy of 5 other crappy pilots. Apologies to pilots that are smart and strategic, but it seems y'all are rarely on my team.

Was watching the end of a game last night after meching out, myself. Two 'Bots left. Both Leos (I didn't check their levels after). Red Leo sporting a Thunder, Spiral and two Magnums. Our blue packing a Treb and 2 Gekkos. Here's the scenario. We're way ahead. Time is running low at about 2 minutes left and we were up 3 beacons to 2. Even if the red Leo managed to lumber over and take a blue beacon, there was still no way they could have won. Remember, these were the last two 'Bots left. So, they begin circling at, what I would approximate to be, something like 600m. Blue Leo sliding sideways...this way and that. Occasional Gekko splashes and firing off the Treb about about 1/3rd power. Meanwhile, the red throws some Spirals every few seconds, and when he gets in range, the Thunder burps. He's edging closer...but our blue isn't backing off. He has the full, long-range package and he's letting red draw in closer. I can see his Magnum flashes getting closer and closer to blue. I've been talking to the screen saying, "Back up. Keep him out of range." over and over. Slowly getting louder. Gradually with more urgency. All of a sudden, I see those Magnums start to connect and I know it's over. There goes one Gekko. A second. The Treb. Dead 'Bot. My fingers are crossed just hoping that blue hadn't meched out but then it would be a different story. Lost my 10 AU because a driver on his last 'Bot couldn't figure out that survival and success was all but guaranteed if he would have only kept his distance.
It's only a silly phone app, right?

I watched the last two bots on a game on Canyon last night. We were down 3-2 beacons, but the bars were close. One guy who spend most of the game camping had 4 bots left after everybody else had mech'd out. I watch him go right by a red beacon TWICE with the lone remaining red nowhere close to that he could easily have grabbed and defended. He thought it would be better to go hunting instead. We easily would have won if he had just flipped that one beacon the first time he walked by it, maybe even the second. But we lost on beacons, and that 「smart person」 still ended up last in damage.
Camping sucks, mmkay.

And he made it so the thundekko does the same damage as the thunder at long ranges |
