Everyone knows the MM is pants but I've just had, by miles, the worst match up my War Robots career.
I'm Expert II, lonewolf. Played a match that lasted about 3 minutes. Why so short? Because everyone else on my team was Diamond 2 or 3 (all lonewolves) and everyone on the reds were from the same clan, all Champions League and all - without exception - 12/12 hangars. About half of all their bots were dashes as well.
We were placed on moon map and I knew I was in trouble when I rounded the first corner in my Griffin and was immediately under fire from a Haechi with 3 scourges. I leapt to the second beacon but didn't manage to cap it because another Heichi was already over the ramp and blasting me with 3 tarans. It went down hill from there...
How on earth did the MM put that one together!?!
...I feel a bit better now...

I had one like that a few weeks ago. And I think it was on Moon, too. Somehow I got a beacon in my Rhino when a Haechi got me from behind before I could drop the shield and turn around. Gone. Three more bots gone without ever connecting with a single shot. About the time I spawned my 5th bot, it was over - they had all the beacons, and nobody could move out of spawn. I took one look at the stats - ZERO damage, one beacon - and thought anybody sees this they're gonna think for sure I'm a tanker. Except I wasn't -- it was a legit bloodbath. I think the highest damage on our team was maybe 200k. Wherever I tried to go, there were suddenly two or three of those dashing 「illegitimate child」s all over me with maxed Orkans and I was melted before I could even take aim. I just sat for about 10 minutes after that with jaw on floor trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. Worst. Game. Ever.

Sadly it's going that way I feel...the battle field, once proudly patrolled by RDB Griffs and Orkancilots will be dominated by Dashing Whales. The onlookers will be those former Lance and Griff pilots using Darth Pattons and Spydras with only a confused Ecu Cossack from Bronze league trying to shield-bash a Haechi to death.
Rather tongue in cheek view but I wonder if Pix realise how dramatically the "balancing" is altering the core player base of the game?
Exactly which way are Pix trying to "balance" the game?

Exactly which way are Pix trying to "balance" the game? $$$$$$$$ That's exactly it. Except they don't have to drop OP loadouts and ruin the game to bring it in, they proved that with the WW's. Slick advertising and an exclusive distribution channel would have been enough to generate interest. But that's not enough -- they gotta set it up to wring every last penny they can out of the whales. And then 「fluffernutter」 with everything else to give the impression of trying to create balance. The strategy of the game's producers used to be to first create a great gaming experience with in-game purchases to enhance it. Now the objective is just to make money and to hell with the gaming experience. Might be time to bring out my all-Cossack hangar in protest. |

@aaarrggghhh Nice Avatar. If you go to the War Robots Facebook page there are a heap of people with them posted (among other more colourful versions). |
