When Your Legs Don't Work Like They Used To Before

The meta has changed. The winner is no longer decided by beacons or kills, but by interpretive dance as scored by a panel of celebrity judges.

Had this moment in Yama last night. Bringing in my Rog with Tarans, with a Suicide Kings clan guy with level 11 aphids holed up in center beacon. Counting down till he can launch again so I can jump forward to both evade and land right on top of him. There's the launch, hit the button... and no jump. Hit again. No jump. Aphids land, bot is trashed, takes a few steps forward... oh, now it wants to jump... there goes the flying wreck into the side of the barrier, with a slow slide down to its final death. Not enjoyable.


 

Don't think that's the problem, my screen is very clean...

But there's a scenario I forgot to add:

*steadies behind cover* so all I need to do is wait for those aphids to hit the wall, then I corner juke, wait for the next Aphid shot then storm hi- WHY AM I IN THE AIR?!

If I get anything on the screen at all really really weird things happen, even just a small amount of sweat.

I wipe my screen on my shirt anytime I see oddities.

What happens to me most often is, that even with my left thumb firmly planted on the screen maneuvering, I'll just spontaneously stop moving. Usually happens when a big load of aphids are inbound, of course. Touch from that input (left thumb) just isn't registering.... only thing to do is pick the thumb completely off the screen and start over.

It's actually a problem when that same thing (screen just stops registering an input) happens to the right thumb, the 'pew pew pew' and aim thumb.

Yea sometimes my Griffin decides to do a 180 degree turn and I die because it took too long to turn back to the target :/

I spontaneously combusted and all my parts flew killing all enemy bots like dat mark 42 armour. It was fun!

Some of this may actually be in the digitizer hardware/firmware itself.  I know there was one phone, the specific model/brand unfortunately escaping me, that would interpret long presses as a "raindrop" and would shut down the multi touch interface temporarily to maintain basic functionality.  Maybe not in this case, but there may also be nothing you can do!

I do wish the game controllers were more standardized on Android, and as secondary wish, that War Robots supported them.  More than once have I inadvertently brushed the wrong location on the screen and sent my Griffin leaping into the open while simultaneously spewing forth Tulumbas and PINs into the side of a building.  I've tried playing on the laptop through Memu, and love using my trackball, but sadly the integrated graphics card isn't quite up to snuff and end up with all manner of weird visual artifacts (vertices and polygons just randomly distorting).
