First post but longtime lurker. Need your advice. This past week I'm experiencing something very troubling with my War Robots game. For the record I've been playing for a year and am currently at Expert 2 with a full hangar of 11/11 bots and weps. My stats are typically 480,000 damage and 4 kills/game. This past week my stats have taken a major hit, and it's very serious. All of a sudden my damage is averaging 100,000-300,000 damage and my kills have dropped of dramatically down to 2.5/game. I earn 500-600 cups/week so it's not like I just picked up the game since latest updates. This drop-off has been sudden. I'm at a complete loss here. My game play style, bots/weps, and opponent levels has remained exactly the same. This will sound crazy but I truly feel that Pix has nerfed my account bots/weps. Though I'm 11/11, it seems as if I'm playing at a 5/5. My weps seem completely ineffective and bots are destroyed very quickly. This is maddening. Isanyone else experiencing something similar? Sucks.

If you wrote this when 2.9.2 came out, I'd suggest you play a lot with RDBs, and suddenly just started missing with your rockets... But probably not the reason, if you feel this started happening just now.

Are your Matches over fairly quickly?
I ask because both your teammates and Opponents may be of lesser experience and this would cause you to both, deal less damage and destroy fewer mecha.
Do you mech-out fast?
This would indicate superior Opponents and your damage output and the relative strength of your Opponent's mecha would cause a significant reduction in your values.

What Firebeard said. Matches have been getting shorter lately in my experience. One side often gets beacon superiority and keeps it and then match is over. Especially if you are used to playing carefully, thinking what you do, taking your time to get advantage, then this may have hurt your damage and kills. Also, matchmaking is known to give long streaks of similar games. Maybe you've just hit a streak of b ing matched against players who out-damage you. |

With new weapon Buff(s) many Players are more cautious. That would certainly have an impact as well .. |

Well, I'd say you're not nuts. I have indeed experienced the same thing. I have had really crappy strings of matches where I can do no damage with any bot, and every one of em gets easily shredded by everything, and I'd swear all my bot and weapon levels got set back to 1. Especially when I check the stats of the teams after such games expecting to see 12/12's, but find that they're not much higher than me, in some cases even lower. I can't imagine how or why that could or would happen, but it sure as hell feels like my hangar got nerfed. Almost like my hangar specs didn't fully load when the game started. I usually close the app after a few games like that and log in again later when my blood pressure comes back down closer to normal hypertensive range. |

I've been there myself quite often recently. You've described how I feel exactly when it's happening. It feels like you're shooting Nerf darts and your armor is tissue paper despite being comparable levels. You get the jump on them and you're there one who goes back to spawn.
I've even reported issues where I've been able to clearly measure the damage output vs opponent bot levels.
As an example, recently I caught a Carnage in the open with a Taran Fujin (doing a medium bot daily). I should have done enough damage to kill it one and a half times per Taran cycle, and it still had a sliver of life left.
Every time I've seen something like that I've reported it and been told the same thing; that it's lag.
Problem is I've also seen it happen where I feel Godlike when I'm facing even level bots. It oddly started with an in game purchase.
I'm not saying that pix is buffing you if you spend money, but it would make some sense from a financial standpoint as long as there isn't backlash from the player community, which would encourage any developer to keep such a policy secret.

What was your winrate, I believe pix puts you on nerfed teams when you hit 80% till you get down to around 40%
I was playing 5 hours a night for the he past 18 months (insomnia) and started noticing this happening with the league system introduction.

Might be something to that. I would say my win rate was approaching 75% which I feel is the "magic" threshold. In addition to my crap numbers during this downward spiral I'm stuck in, my in rate has dropped to 46%. My other stats today are 2.8 kills/game, 360,000 average damage. In my league I've gone from 3,600+ in Expert 2, dramatically dropping down to 3,468 in Expert 3. Pix MM really ?firetruck?ed me hard. |

I have suffered the same cycles... I have gone from destroyer of worlds to a noob in terms of scoring a few times now... I am in a bit of a pit right now
I was holding a steady 60% winrate ... when it hit 64% I noticed my weps were suddenly less effective and I was also getting match after match with 1 or 2 Blue dropouts/fades...
The other thing I get is "connecting" message for about 10 seconds on quite a few matches ... It ALWAYS happens at a critical moment - like when I step out to unload a full Griffin Aphid Orkan Salvo into some poor sap... I don't get a shot off and I sit there watching my HP flush down the toilet while the connecting message is there - if it was really connecting - why can I still see the action?
Pix thumb on the scales to enforce %50
[/paranoia]
maybe I just feel it more when I am getting my 「bum-bum」 handed to me

I have notice something similar, but with Giffins that have pinatas and tulumbas. Not sure what type of bots everybody else is facing... war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/12841/advice-pinatas-tulumbas-hackPlaying again on 8/20/2017 and this is getting worse. My bots aren't holding ground like they did before, especially against weapons that have splash damage. Just getting wiped out easily by hangers that are lower than me. Either someone has created a hack or war robots has a bug with the recent update. |

I have noticed something very similar, but in fairness, I believe some days I have my 「dookie」 together and I kick 「bum-bum」, other days my 「dookie」 is not together and I get my 「bum-bum」 handed to me.
Would like to blame the machine, but deep down I know it's me. Bad days happen.

Would like to blame the machine, but deep down I know it's me. Bad days happen. I know when a butt-kicking is my own doing -- and yes there are plenty of those -- and I know when it's because I'm outgunned. When it's the latter and I go check specs expecting to see 10-12's and instead see hangars the same or lower than mine that tore me to shreds, I just can't chalk that all up to not having my poop together. When my full-health DB Griff goes toe-to-toe with another DB Griff and I get melted and he still has most of his health, and I see after the game that he's at the same level as me, I have to think something else is going on. I won't say it's deliberate nerfing (I don't have that much tin foil), but I'm fairly certain there's a bug that's occasionally not recognizing bot and weapon levels when your hangar gets loaded into a map. Why or how I have no idea, but there are just too many instances of it to think it's just a bad day. |

Happened to me once I hit 1500+ ranking. Went from 600k-800k dmg, to getting 2shotted and only earning 200k, with my three Thunder Natasha'. Lvl 6Nat's with 7&8Thunders just couldn't hang...only tactics could get me to the end of a match.

I guess i'll add my story to the fire. Since this just happened to me. On my Amazon account I have a level 6 griffin with two level 8 punishers and two level 7 punisher mkII. I'm usually pretty dominant in the game so I rush a second beacon with two reds coming to challenge the beacon. I hide around a corner and their griffin comes around the corner. Just me and him in both fresh bots. Both standing 150-200 feet away unloading on each other. I get destroyed, he also takes about half his health in damage. I figured it was my bad play, I should be aware of running into champions league players running around with high level bots and weapons. After the game I look at his bots and his griffin was also level 6 with two level 5 punishers a level 3 punisher mkII and a level 1 punisher mkII. The rest of his hangar is similarly low level and I know I had trouble with him the rest of the match. I play another game and end up playing the same guy again. I had absolutely no problem with him this time, the same situation didn't occur sadly, i'm sure it would of turned in my favor though. I also have about a 84% win rate and have been facing some steep uphill battles. Now I'm concerned of the reason why.

The biggest explanation is that you are taking blindside fire that you’re not aware of contributing to the loss of your health. The other very real reason is lag which can be very pronounced at times. For example, I’m blasting away at a Griff with my Tarans yet it takes a second for the damage indicator to flash letting me know I’ve registered a hit. You see this also happen when you kill a red, but the kill goes to someone else on blue, when you’re the only one around the kill area. Frustrating but this does happen. |
