Hi, I've been playing for a little while now. I'm in Gold II and it just seems too high for my bots. I'm not doing the damage other people are and I'm getting huge damage done to me. What's more, other people's bots have much better equipment. I'm currently running this hanger
3x Lvl 6 Griffin with:
2x pinata lvl 5 / Taran lvl 5 / Taran lvl 6
Punish lvl 6 / Punish lvl 7 / 2x Tumblas lvl 5
Piñata lvl 5 / Piñata lvl 6 / Orkan lvl 7 / Orkan lvl6
Leo with :
3x piñata lvl 5 / thunder lvl 7
My point is I seem to be in too higher a league and I don't want to purposefully drop leagues because that's just not fair to others. Any advice?

Ahhh... I'm on Android, and the league makeups aren't quite the same. However, you do seem to have placed higher than you should have with those weapon levels... for iOS or Android. As far as adding a SS of your hangar/profile... I am mostly familiar with the "add image to post" button at the top/right of the full reply box (not the"Quick Reply" box with trimmed down features):  It allows you to upload directly from your PC.  Either that, or have it hosted at an image hosting site and click on the "insert image" button (looks like a picture) and post the link for that individual pic.  You can edit your Profile in the forum to show your platform and league for Desktop users... but it doesn't show up on the Mobile site.  |

My laptop is a pain to use as I have to put it through the to as the screen is a little jinked. NP If it were me... I'd get my weapons up to 7 ASAP, then follow with Bots. Then weapons to 9, and follow with bots. Once you are at 9/9, get weapons to 11 and then bots to 10. Then decide what you need to focus depending on what you feel you lack the most... HP or that last level from 11 to 12. |

Just begun a big long save for a 5th not but I'm not purchasing stuff because I'm pretty poor at the moment. I seem to have the tactics down but I'm just getting hammered in one to ones. I dunno if I'm going to run a Carnage, Rhino, Fujin or Raijin. Hmm, the eternal question. Thanks again for your help. |

Based on your hangar, I would first use my WSP to get a pair of magnums to replace the pinatas on your taran griffin, making it a PDB build. Then, I would at least get another pair of tarans because you will definitely need them. Lastly, get a carnage or rhino based on personal preference once you have to materials to do so. Also, your griffin with punisher/tulumbas should be made into a full punisher build, or replace the punishers with pins to make it a RDB griffin (highly recommended). |

The trophy system seems a bit broken to me, maybe matchmaking on similar not levels would be better. |

League system will sort you where you need to be. Don't sweat it, just keep hammering.

I'm in diamond 3 with a mostly 7/7 hangar (briefly went into diamond 2, got the gold so I'm happy), so I feel your pain. Nothing to do but just keep going and don't feel too bad when you lose, and pat yourself on the back when you win. Just do the upgrades and play for fun, and as long as you don't get too fussed with leagues, the rest will fall into place. Focus on purpose builds too. Like your Griffin with the punishers and tulus. I'd switch out the punishers for pins. RDBs as this build is called are a must for a very long time. Get a couple of magnums to go with the Griffin with the tarans and build a PDB.
As for the Leo, this is just a personal preference, but I'd rather put punishers with the thunder than pinatas. A thunder/punisher Leo is a general workhorse build that can cover most situations. With only 4 slots, focus on getting these builds:
RDB Griffin
DB Griffin - which you have already
PDB Griffin
Thunder/Punisher Leo
These 4 bots will take you pretty far. If you want to change things up, you can get a beacon capper or two, like the Stalker or Gareth or Rhino. All the weapons you're upgrading for your Griffins will fit perfectly onto the Rhino. Same weapons, different play styles.

Any advice? I will run Taran/Magnum Griffin all Punisher Griffin or Tulumbus/Pin Griffin (I will not mix them) Orkan/Piñata Griffin looks good Thunder/Piñata Leo ok too. Just my taste though |

I'll just keep grinding, I do enjoy the game though. I'm going with punisher griffin for now and working towards the second magnum to go with those tartans. I'll try a punisher Leo, see what it's like. Quick question, which is a better bet for 'black market', bronze or silver?

Silver. Bronze just gets you a bunch of garbage. I spun 1 silver last night and got my 4th gekko.

Apparently things progress a bit faster in FB Gameroom as I haven't been playing even two full weeks yet and already in Diamond League and still have a 100% silver hangar. It should be noted that I have never played this game on the other servers either so not like I had a clue what I was doing when I started. I think that this is what happens when you play too much and you can't upgrade weapons fast enough to keep pace. I am only at 2825 gold and 9020 WSP so I still have a ways to go before I can get my 5th slot and my first set of Tarans yet am facing champion level players all the time. I am noticing that as I keep moving up in levels and leagues that my # destroyed, average damage and win rate is going down. Oh well, I am having fun and that is what counts right?

Any advice? If you are indeed in too high a league, mm will assign the beats to you and get you sorted out. Until then, play your 「bum-bum」 off and learn what you can. Make them earn killing you. |

Thanks for replying. What do you mean mm will assign the beats to me? I try to make them pay, sometimes I do even finish top but sometimes I barely do any damage and get trashed immediately  |

I try to make them pay, sometimes I do even finish top but sometimes I barely do any damage and get trashed immediately He means you'll get into matches where you'll be evaporated when something so much as sneezes on you. If you're ranking anywhere between first and last on the scoreboard, it means you're where mail.ru believes you should be. The 'reason' is that your performance is equal to those around you, even at lower leveled equipment. The biggest issues with Gold league though: MM cares less about your league, and you'll often face against low diamond to champion players. This is where bad players with high end hangars end up. They can't play for squat, but the damage they rack up from their gear alone keeps them in gold league. You can see this pretty clearly when someone has a 40% or less win rate, high average damage, and/or a hangar full of midrange and long range bots. They're there because their damage says they're good, even though a competent player gets better numbers running a weaker hangar. So that guy that insta-melts you with Trebuchets, or the annoying Spiral/Hydra bot that does tons of damage to you from across the map, are just people with padded numbers from high level gear. Once you get to 7/7, you should be able to escape gold league into Diamond, where the beat downs can be harsh, but you're less likely to have idiots for teammates. In other words, where you are, if you fought only the people with a similar ranking, you would do fine. The beat downs probably come from 10/10 to max level hangars from diamond league or higher. |

Well you analysis seems honestly spot on. I usually rank anywhere from 2nd-4th, more 2nd/3rd though. I really wanna decent team to play with : ( Ah well, will just have to wait till my gear is better. Happy with my Griff rocking level 8 Orkans and Pinatas. Ext one is Lvl 6 Griff with lvl6 Trebs and Tarans. All my bots are lvl6.
