Beacon Rush.. the passion is back for the game

Sounds like a fun game, this "Bacon Rush"

I understand your frustration but I do believe one person supporting the team from afar is necessary for laying down suppressive fire and a successful match. The problem is when you have 4 people with Trebs and 2 people getting shredded going for the beacons.

I do enjoy it myself. The rhino is fast enough now to be a great opener/suicide bot on maps like SZ: cap Home, center, make for red's beacon, kill 1-2 full health reds. Spawn on CB with a DB, jump to red's beacon again and kill another 1 or 2. Take red's beacon and blues pour in and spawn raid. Fun!

On SF, not so fun especially if reds get CB first.

I'll probably get hell for this but I think Pix should limit beacon rush only to certain maps.

I love this new mode too and hope it comes back soon once our time with it is up. I've found that in some ways grabbing beacons is ironically less important in beacon rush though. Bots being able to drop right into the front lines makes for much more aggressive play and more meching out overall. The most important thing is staying near teammates and establishing kill zones, then you can clean up in the late game.

I've been having plenty of games where the red team grabs center or one of our side beacons, but that just leads to a stream of reds dropping into a blue frying pan until they start meching out and can't sustain the offensive.

I am also in Android D1 - asian server

About half my games i am the only diamond amongst champions and experts (rarely see masters).
The other half are 5 diamond and 1 gold per side

Seems quite strange.

That wouldn't be healthy.  I'm known for getting lots of beacons.

You mean the mode is only for a temporary time period? Is that what the timer is for?

Read the first line carefully

Equally valid in domination ?

I went on a serious run and was clipping along at a high 70% win rate and climbed all the way up to Diamond 2 from Gold 2 just playing BR--I'm 9/9. I quickly went from all Griff/Lance to a more diverse hangar with things like a Triple Thunder Fury, Rhino variations, Thunder or Zeus Carnage, and Tempest/Molot Natasha (not sure about that one though).

Something flipped last night and I went into a tailspin...Reds were swarming en masse. Wherever I spawned I was either flanked or overrun by a Red tidal wave. Still maintaining Diamond 2 though and scoring top three but loss after loss.

In the end I'm back to Domination. My notes on BR:

-BR is pure chaos. Very fast paced with mech outs or beacon control in 5 minutes or less many times.
-A lot of my bots became one and done bots--one full salvo and then I'm toast.
-Win or lose, my damage stayed very consistent at 600-700k. Hit a million a couple of times (in losses).
-Too frenetic for me to enjoy.
-Too rocket happy for me to enjoy.
-At the moment too laggy for me to enjoy--cant aim worth crap with plasma and rockets seem all messed up.
