Anyone else feel the same way? You get sniped by gekkos because of the buff that they did not need. No one is knife fighting anymore. Long range to kill if you try to push for beacons. Then when you do have brawlers it's just lancelots and ancelots, pay to play maxed bot... really boring and the only counter is to run ancelots, especially when you don't have maxed out weapons or bots. Bots take so long to get to center because well if you run light bots you get sniped.

Just ignore all the buffs and leagues and 「dookie」, just enjoy your own builds and stand out strong where your builds are for! I'm plasmaful!

Honestly, I feel the same way. You can put 300+ hours in this game and literally have the best bots and weapons, but what do you do after that? I guess you could run troll hangars or reroll and start a new account, but there isnt much too do once you reach the top. Everyday I play on the same maps, face the same bot builds, and use the same tactics. There was such few things added in a 2 year period that most of these damn updates are just bug fixes and nerfs/buff. Hopefully Pixonic can expand their company and hire more devs, since the state of the game is becoming more boring everday.

The game has been more fun than ever for me. In Diamond Android there are less tankers than what I saw in gold... So levels are closer overall.
The buff has brought a large variety of bots out... So I don't hardly see lots of Campers on most games. Sure it happens... But mostly it's been great lately.

Bots take so long to get to center because well if you run light bots you get sniped. I was so annoyed by red Gekko/Trebs on maps like Yama and SF right after the buff, but it become better after I upgraded a Molot Galahad. I still cannot do anything about blue Gekko/Treb campers, but their numbers died down a bit now, than right after the 2.9.3. plus these campers do kill and annoy red bots so sometimes they are helpful, for the Ancilot issue, there are many options to counter them with non-Au bots if you tag up with teammates, which may be more fun than actually running Ancilots: - upgrade some Thunder Carn or Punisher bots and tag up with your rocket teammates. - with a PDB Griff (or Punisher bots), follow a fellow britbots (or using any type of friends as meat-shields) and shoot at the side, back, or the shield parts near the legs (rumor says that part is vulnerable, true or not), of Ancilots. - with a RDB Griff (or Fujin), shoot from +350m together with fellow rocket/bullet/Thunder bots, and so on,

I don't necessarily agree with either tenseven or Electronetic on their points made. For one in the last 2 years there have been many items added to the game. Trident, Carnage, the 4 legged spider bots, maps, speed buffs for some of the slower bots and others. Now it's about to get more exciting with the new additions coming. If you are running with a couple of campers, say a Natty with Trebs and Gekko's at low weapon levels with a four slot hangar then I guess the game would be boring along with a hangar full of heavies. Got to diversify, get a Carnage slap on a couple of Thunders and go boom boom in somebodies face. Get something with some speed. Rog's are a blast in any league. Nor are a Lancelot a pay to win bot. I earned my gold one match at a time to buy mine on both platforms. Thunder Orkan's rock, no ancile for me. No I tend to go more with ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48 and inspirace assessment of the game. It's fun lately and there are ways to beat an Ancilot, several in fact. It's not up for the game to change to suit us. It up to us to change to be successful. I love my D3 secondary account on iOS, those are some fun matches with a diversified 7/8 hangar almost as much fun as my Primary. And my G3 6/6 hangar secondary account on Android is a blast too, along with the Primary. That's not saying that there aren't some areas of improvement to be made or tweaked. But for a mobile game it's a blast to play. ?

Fairly boring. Just bundle of sticks that barely depart their spawn point while they jizz their hydras. At least with gekkos/trebs you can utilize cover, but with hydra you gotta scrape your 「wee-wee」 along every wall and you still can get hit.

I run a Gareth and Galahad and laugh at snipers most of the time. But they do get annoying, but that's the way the game is played. Think on this. For every sniper the red team has, that is one less bot capping and defending beacons. I recently had a game where the red team fielded at least 3 snipers from the get go. Sure, it was annoying, especially on Yamantau, but once we got to cover, the snipers were no longer a threat, and we just held 3 out of 5 beacons. The red team realized too late that we weren't playing their way. A couple tried to eject and switch to brawlers, but by then, the beacon bar was far in our favour and we won easly. I did like 165k damage and had 0 kills, but still got 3 gold. Hahaha, suck on that snipers!

Would they be more skill if they flew faster but with a kind of set arc like aphids? This would make them good against campers, and heavies but hard to use against light bots. I like this idea myself.
