I may as well explain myself.
If you are in a battle and happen to see me walk straight ahead into the reds without firing and get destroyed, the reason is I have reached a point in battle trying alone or with one other pilot to grab beacons, while the four or five of you sit back in your expensive long range load-outs but fail the entire time to take out the long range threats that keep wrecking me. I'm not going to win the battle for you, rather, I will intentionally mech-out and move on to another battle, leaving you to your piss-poor LR silliness.

I do exactly same thing..If I see no more blue beacons but the ones I capped, I will fight 'till my first robots gets destroyed and not bother spawning again. Especially when I see a tanker standing next to a white beacon. That does it for me. 1 bot and I put the phone down until game is over

Which hangar are you running when this happens? Level 4/5 stuff or 11/12?

I have started doing the same.i am sick of me and maybe one other player trying to win a match while team mates sit at long rang ignore beacons, and make zero attempt to even support the one or two players trying to win the match.

I've had a glut of these matches tonight. Worst one was a game where I grabbed 5 beacons, rest of team, 0. Of course we lost, and of course I got -22 because, well, that should be obvious. And yup, I started doing the same suicide runs when it became obvious it was another replay of the same 「dookie」. I played for a couple of hours earlier, and in the whole last hour I won exactly two games. I still have one of those three daily Ag flags, which is utterly ridiculous. I keep saying I'm not going to worry about wins, stats, or league ranking, but Jesus Christ the endless losses because teammates are morons start to wear thin after awhile. But this is the environment that Pix has created. Bra-f'n-vo.

Just had 5 games where I got 2 beacons and my team mates did not bother getting 3rd one.... I was in thunder carnie, no damage taken. Saw it, went straight out in the open, fired few shots and stood there being blasted by plasmas. Put the phone down and watched the game while reading this forum. Phak it.... |

they should bring friendly fire back. If your team is 「fluffernutter」ing around, at least you can 「fluffernutter」 them back

Honestly I'm probably part of the problem. I play mostly for silver. I know all about getting 50% more by winning but there are too many individual factors for a win and only 2 for destroying the other guy--skill or firepower.
Playing mostly BR, I no longer strive for a 'balanced' hangar. Most of the time I only care about capping/re-taking CB to gain a strategic advantage; the rest of the time I'll only cap a beacon because it happens to be between me and the red I'm advancing toward--and of course to prolong a game. So really, while my efforts may significantly contribute to wins, it's more of a byproduct than my goal. But don't get me wrong, it's nice to win half the time (more or less), but blowing up the other guy is substantially more satisfying--win or lose I have fun.
Many people like myself are also clanless; hence, for me to climb higher I need to come in 1st or 2nd on the losing team--and that can only be achieved with damage and not beacons.
(Average beacons capped per game: 2)

Pilots in Silver III don't necessarily know what they are doing. If I had lvl 11-12 bots and weapons I'd let the MM sort me up to champs. You'll get some tough matches, sure. But people will be playing hard. If you want to run base level bots and weapons, you'll be stuck in low silver. But switching back and forth between your stock stuff and high level hangar to seal club won't get you any sympathy here. And don't say you give up in games because your teammates suck. Own your tanking. acdcfan |

I'd walk right up to these guys and detonate. I'm pretty sure the "blast" radius is gonna be ±100m? And if the "damage" is gonna be real intense, you'd be knocking on their front door and say "ALLON-SY!!" |

I recently switched to Beacon Rush because of all the campers in Domination. It took me a while to get used to the faster pace. Now I enjoy it much more. Give it a try.

Haha. AMEN. I have begun to do this when I get a treb fury and 3 hydra douche on dead city or 4 disco leo's on power plant. Im done with your camping guys. If you have a hanger of these get ready to be abandoned. I can not tell you how angry I get when I see a damn hydra griff and a treb natty hide for 8 minutes, and once they finally get wrecked (because the rest of us meched out trying to actually win the battle) then drops a thundorkan lance or a DB. I wish I had a sign that I could advertise to the reds that I will not shoot you if you go kill my camping team mates. This is just un sportsmanlike on the short maps. Hydras are just stupid in masters and higher as so many load outs have anciles. Hydras do very little damage to the most common load outs-further Ive never seen a hydra giff or spydra cap or hold a beacon in the first 3 minutes of a game. Its even more infuriating to see people play this way in Beacon Rush. Its call BEACON rush. For a reason. Please considering part of a team, attempting to win a match, and guess what....you will potentially get gold, silver, and keys!
Ive compiled a list of clans and players that do this and make sure I do what ever I can to get them killed fast. My clan hydra is banned from normal play. Pretty much the closest thing you will see to camping is a maxed tempest fury to take down anciles and wreck physical shields. 1 out of 30 bots.
It seems that when the MM mixes leagues, expert and below is where this is most prevalent

What I find funny....
When I go with my light robots to capture beacons, it never fails that I'm fighting with 3 of my teammates for beacons. My team usually loses because of the lack of fire power...
When I go with my heavy robots for support, it never fails that my teammates also went with heavy robots and nobody goes after the beacons. My team usually loses because of the lack of beacon control.
I personally don't like going with a mix of robots because it usually prevents me from winning gold, if we do win.
Not sure how teams are decided, but it seems like it matches similar types of hangers together on the same team.
Writing this makes me think I'm part of the problem, because I want to win gold in every game otherwise I would rather loss to drop in the rankings..
There is no benefit for players 4,5,6 on the winning team that didn't capture the most beacons.
-Other rant:
Why is it every time I start off with my Raijin there is a light robot teammate that follows me around like a lost puppy?
Then when I go to capture a beacon with my Raijin, that teammate races just ahead of me to get it... (this really irks me, that is when I usually quit)

It's a real fault with the game in my view.
Pixonic have buffed a lot of long range stuff at the expense of the short range stuff and it spoils the game.
Most people who buy brawler bots like the up close battling but that is getting destroyed by Spydras, Trebs and Geckos. I have tried sniping but it is mind-numbing lay boring. In my view the long range stuff is killing the game. There are a lot of posts about it - Beacon Rush is now often full of laser beams and treb as well.
I have read that the long range stuff is given so much priority to smooth out the player poolMM in Expert and above leagues. Nevertheless the abundance of snipers has turned an excellent squad based shooter into a frustrating duck-hunt. And it's a massive shame. All this sniping wrecks beacon capping, strategy and fighting skills - I am a Merc on iOS D2
That being said there is nothing like getting a red spawn point raid on Yamantau with your blue teams mates and taking out the dozy Treb Nat who has only walked 2 metres the entire game!
