You guys have been running from my clan for a while now, I don't understand why. Nobody in my clan has a 'Whale' Hangar, none of us even have 1 level 12 'anything' yet, we all have modest Hangars and are actually a good match up for you guys. I'm writing this because you have now started leaving the Battle after it starts, leaving before the battle is no big deal, but when you guys bail after, you leave behind 2 or 3 non clan members to deal with 5 or 6 of my people. That last game you bailed on left 2 people by themselves to fight 6 of us, myself and 3 others stood down so that it would be a fair fight, 2 against 2. You guys will never improve if you run, you have to fight. Do you think we don't get our 「bum-bum」es handed to us every now and then? We fight the stronger clans and get our butts kicked, but we grow stronger by doing so. Look at my Profile in game, look at my Win percentage, number of victories, max damage etc... I've been in Champion League since level 29, not because of overpowered,paid for bots and weapons, but because of tenacity and improved skill as I went along.

 My current Hangar, that lvl 1 punisher mk 2 is just there because I was explaining something to someone, a lvl 8 punisher mk 2 is what goes there until I get my other Taran leveled up to 8. See? Nothing fancy or exotic, I won the Galahad and Lancelot and bought the Rogatka way back when I should have gotten a 5th slot. You can make 300 gold/day in this game if you're good, so nothing in my Hangar is out of reach for anyone. I could get the same results with 5 Griffins actually. |

I think it's just a coincidence. 0) There is a clan that playing in ~same timezone as yours 1) Clan want to tank down. 2) They squad together, you squad 3) There are no other squads at +\- same league and\or timezone 4) You see them often bailing from the match. The fact is that you are NOT losing league points if you leave before timer countdown. So they are bailing after that. Nothing personal, most probably you are just unlucky to be getting those guys all the time. |

Thank you for the response Russel, could I ask a noob question? What does 'Tanking' mean in this game? Does that mean these guys only fight battles they can win easily?

Thank you for the response Russel, could I ask a noob question? What does 'Tanking' mean in this game? Does that mean these guys only fight battles they can win easily? "Tanking" in War Robots means the verb "tank" meaning performing horribly, often with express purpose of doing so. People tank to lower levels for easy games, to escape undesireable match-ups with other tankers tanking to their league or simply, to get out of boring gameplay. When you said "you", a certain few people have been leaving matches with you? |

Thank you for the response Russel, could I ask a noob question? What does 'Tanking' mean in this game? Does that mean these guys only fight battles they can win easily? Whoa, that's a huge topic. The idea is to get Gold\Silver fast and easy. It used to be simple, like this: 1) Build solid close range hangar 2) Leave maps to get negative league rating (this is actually "tanking" www.sbnation.com/2014/1/10/5266770/nba-draft-lottery-tanking-gm ) 3) Get to lower leagues (you tanked) 4) Bring out your high-level close range hangar to kill out new players "seal clubbing" - uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Seal_Clubbing5) Use only close-range maps, leave any long-range. In the past, it was a clear chain of events: Leave->Tank-SealClub. Then Pix decided to make Leavers Queue, where all tankers=sealclubbers=leavers would trap. However now people can sealclub without the need to leave battles, to NOT to be trapped into LQ. So now it's more like: 1) SealClubbers - people who use high-level stuff in lower leagues to beat the noobs. 2) LQ dwellers (I've been there) - people who like fairer MatchMaking (I don't know why, but teams are way more balanced in LQ) OR don't like some maps OR don't like cowardly playstyle in Normal Queue (in LQ people usually mechout by the end of the battle, I never saw players losing battle with more than 1-2 members left) 3) Tankers (I've done that, too) - people who like playing more diverse hangar, that is NOT fit for higher leagues, or who want to squad with lower league buddies. I personally hate seeing Haechi\Ancilot\Griffin hangars. And soon it would be Mk2 all over the champs. So I decided to outfit robots I really like playing (Rogatka, Cossack, Fujin etc) and play good (I don't usually leave\ditch\suicide). So, my take, for organized high-level clan to leave the battle reason is actually to get to lowest leagues to sealclub resources. While I see why people do that, for me it's just not fun. Same "not fun" as "not fun" running Ancilots or Haechi or Mk2 top bots... but that's a different story. |

Wow, this whole time I have been trying to raise my League rating,lol. I don't club seals, I prefer to fight with equals or stronger. I play every map, no matter how painful the large maps can be because of heavy long-range fire. I refuse to build a long-range bot, so I have a Rhino to deal with that. I wasn't angry with DOS Elite, I apparently just didn't understand what they were doing and wanted them to at least 'try'. I have met several players so far that had low self-confidence in the game, I gave them pointers and some pep talks and they are much better players now. I thought this situation may have been similar in nature. At least now I know what's going on (Thanks guys for the info), I personally don't see the 'fun' or 'competitiveness' in playing like that, but I also won't judge them for it. So, no worries here. I admit I feel a certain bit of guilt playing my Lancelot sometimes, but then again I don't because I fight squads that have 6 of them among them, numerous Dashbots etc... anything goes and that's what makes it fun for me, personally. I won the Lancelot and Galahad from Bronze chests, so yeah I'm gonna use 'em,lol (I never win anything in games of chance usually).
When I used the word 'you' I was referring to the Clan as a whole, not any individual. Now that I know what they're doing, I will just expect it every time I see them, no worries, it doesn't hurt me in any way, just wastes a little time.

No worries, I’m not related to that clan in any way :) My feeling is that game should be divided in three leagues: 1) people who got cash to spend on a game (aka Mk2 Haechi league) 2) people who are not spending a lot, but only want to win (aka Ancilot league) 3) people who want to have fun and use different builds. But that won’t stimulate people to spend money of course, so it’s just a speculation:) |
