I keep trying to go down on leagues (since my Au loss incident, which still isn't resolved one way or another) to better play with a family member in lower league.
But I keep failing. Switched to Rog9-Gep3-Gep6-Stalker9-Cossack9 with mostly level 9 weps, and expected average -10/battle freefall. But no, it seems I just can't lose league points... Been mostly top 2 on losing matches. Just now came 3rd on a winning match.
Seriously. It shouldn't be this hard to switch to a light hangar and drop down to make it competitive.
Because I don't quite believe my current hangar is competitive in Android Diamond 2. Is there something funny going on?
Anyway, what can I do? Upgrade my Destrier to replace the Rog? But I want to play with the Rog!

Well I am trying, but with limited success. I like to think I practically suicide my lights, and mech out most of the games, but still it seems the damage they do just adds up. It feels unnatural. I wonder what the bottom 3 blues do all the match. I guess I could switch away from Orkan Rog to reduce damage, but then what would be the point of playing at all? I already gave up my Galahad. That is sacrifice enough. |

Hydra Rog dude, like farting in the wind...
What are all the other blues doing? Played a Yama today, all my bots got blitzed early except for Gareth who manage to cap center beacon twice and Galahad who captured it a third time. Team won and I had most beacons and third highest damage... Go figure! |

Man, just play to win. It doesn't only ride on your hangar, YOU make your hangar successful or not. If you and your hangar weren't competitive at your highest league rank, it wouldn't BE your highest league rank. Have a heart for the blues that are also playing to win!
Heck, the fact that you're having a hard time moving down ought to tell you something, right?

Orkans. If you're trying to minimize damage, you just don't run Orkans. Throw some level 5 Tulus on that Rog and watch your damage go down the toilet.

With your skills, you should just start a new account to play with family members. It may be faster to move up than down. And then you won't be seal clubbing people with your "weak" hangar that you have to throw matches in to get to your target league.

It allows me to play with my kids and the weaker guys in my clan. Good suggestion |

I actually have a 2nd account, but it's not quite high level enough currently, and I stopped playing it mostly because of silver shortage. Anyway, got my Au back (as I just wrote in my original thread about it), so I guess I have to switch back to heavies here, and continue upwards with my main account...  Kinda sad, lights are a lot of fun...  And of course, as these things usually go, now MM probably starts to throw me with a losing streak teamed with Champions, so now I'll start to sink. Oh well, it doesn't really matter now. |

Some people do that without losing 15k gold first. -Amid Just to clarify I only lost ~5k. There was somebody else who lost 15k I think. Also I never was tempted to try and actually lose (or avoid winning), just trying to equip my hangar so I'd place low in blue damage and let MM do the rest... Except I failed at that, because somehow there always were blues which did worse, hence this (mostly joke) rant. But yeah, it was refreshing. I may even start using an Aphid Gepard as a more permanent bot in my hangar from now on, it can rack up some nice damage in right circumstances. And considering how it is a gold bot and currently underpowered, it's bound get some buff sooner or later. |
