Almost every death match I play by half way (5 minutes) through I'm usually still on my first bot (with a few kills under my belt) and I look up and I only have 2 or 3 team mates left which of course then results in a loss. Guess what guys. YOU WON'T WIN DM IF YOU MECH OUT.  |

Team play in death match is something you must have to do..like once we had a dash bot in our team in dead city..he just ran in with dash at start into enemy home base..even though it was Haeichi it’s not something which can’t be killed with team play he got killed in less than 30 sec..I thought maybe I could take out guys with less health with my tumb pins setup..they are lvl 10 so can take out 40-45% health easily if bots are below lvl 10..so I locked on all target and found none of them had health even slightly less except one which was a sniper I guess...if he would had played in team even with two or one player game could had been won very easily..even though we won but peep who don’t play in team or self destruct specially when we are losing are the one whom I hate the most

TDM is a tankers paradise. Likely some a meching out to force the loss.

The best you can hope for in most cases is more reds than blues mech out early.

Played 5 games this arvo and haven't won any because people keep meching out. Sure can't win anything like this.  |

Guess what guys. YOU WON'T WIN DM IF YOU MECH OUT. I have the same problem! I'm always ready to go and then some of my teammates just swap their robots from the start and I'm left with two other guys in Destriers. With a Spiral and a Ecu. They get killed in five seconds and I always end up getting ganged up on by 4 players. Just because I'm above level 20 doesn't mean I can fend off the guys with Aphids, Orkans, and sometimes INQUISITORS! It gets ridiculous sometimes. |

Game after game I'm faced off at the end with 4 or 6 reds after me. Especially when they are low on health I'll kill off 2 or 3 of them them but usually time runs out and either we are even on kills or 1 behind. I'm trying to win the trident in the Halloween thing but just can't get any wins because of other players.

If you can't ever win your play style might be the reason why. If your teammates are dying and you're not, I'm guessing you are nowhere near your teammates during play. Surviving the longest doesn't always mean you're good. Sounds like you sit in a sniper bot, waaaaaaaay in the back, and can't fathom how other players might enjoy fighting bots closer than 1050m out. |

Yep you are right all sniper bots, nice job  By the same token I know most people are trying their hardest I was just getting frustrated and venting a bit, sorry if anyone took offence. |

Guess what guys. YOU WON'T WIN DM IF YOU MECH OUT. WARNING: You might wear your tinfoil hat for that. I can NOT win at TDM if I'm at "win" event task. Noticed that while ago (now I'm at Scourge tasks), so I decided to give it a go and test. Been playing for three days now, and got 24% winrate and 12 wins in 3 days. Top damage? Easy. Most kills? Check. Win? Really really really rare. And my team is NOT tanking, what's most fun. Most often we got to 2 remaining reds, then all out of sudden 2-4 more Ancilots arise last minute. Or enemy Raijin from 499m land a lucky killshot and even the score out. I know that I got plenty of time to finish event tasks (and I don't even need Kumiho if anything), so I decided to give it a spin and see how low my winrate could possibly go. Re-arranged hangar, tried more medium, tried more closerange bots, topped my max damage (1.4mil) and max kill count (13 kills). Now I just want to test my theory out. When I will be through my "win" task, the next one is "kill", and I most probably will be placed in really really "easy MM mode" with my 24% winrate. Would be fun if happen that way, I can use additional silver. |

The solution is in the name. TEAM Deathmatch. If you don't go in with your own squad(team) then your likely going to be at the mercy of the MM. If you solo TEAM Deathmatch, then your not a team, just 6 individuals. Good luck with that |

And he's not, and that's the reason. I find it hard to believe that to be true, or at least not quite so for random matches. |

If your 1st respawn and you see a bunch of blue triangles in a little "minion huddle of death," you know its not gonna go well.

Doesnt mean they care about it or run a specialized hangar tho. And actually, it makes sense. Caps and kills are much easier this way. Wins ofc not. But still better than beeing the only 1 in the team who needs a win. |

No offense taken. Don't really care how you play. But, lets not pretend posting a screen shot of a hangar is "written in stone" proof of anything. You could screenshot different bot/weapons and upload them every 30 seconds depending on your depth of assets. |

You are right I only thought of that after I posted. There is no way of proving what I say but that is my hanger, yes I have other bots but this is what I play with day in day out upgrading as quick as I can using only silver and time. I've only been playing 3 months and I don't pay RM apart from 1 month of premium during the current event.

Played one game that was really frustrating yesterday. In valley map a blue parked his bot behind a rock and left it. I put my Griff up to him and jumped him out of cover. He moved back parking again. I did this twice more and so did he and meanwhile another blue meched out. We were down 2 to 6 at this point so I pushed out the first guy and he got blasted but so did I.
Amazing how many tankers are in there.

Saw something in a game yesterday I had yet to see. 2 players destroyed each bot one by one so now its 4 against 6 and the score was reds 10 blues zero. The two players were Diamond players with 11/12 hangers including Haechis.
That really takes the cake.

Are your mates just quitting, just overmatched tech wise, or just doing the bare minimum to get some event rewards? |

LOL... well, for not caring how he plays you sure made it a point to make him out to be someone who plays in a very specific way that you consider bad with bots that you don't like. Then try and make him out to be, essentially, a liar saying that he is switching bots in a hangar to fool us... geez man just what makes you think people who read this forum and post on it, asking questions and ranting, are doing it dishonestly? What would be his purpose? Just curious... because it sounds like you DO care... a lot. At least enough to make sure that you point out what is wrong... without actually knowing... thetruth... heh. |

Are your mates just quitting, just overmatched tech wise, or just doing the bare minimum to get some event rewards? Not real sure, I don't analyse every match but the ones I look at (where I'm last man standing) I'm usually the top scorer in damage so it's likely they are lower ranked than me, but it seems to happen when facing an OP team hence my frustration with the MM system. I also think some players especially in TDM are probably gung ho and race in to kill the reds without thinking about the fact they will mech out whereas I am there for the duration and sometimes even finish the game with my mid range griff (pins / tulus) and 4 bots unused. Maybe they are just doing the challenge? I must admit I've been doing that last few days changing my hanger and play style for beacons or kills, if ya can't beat them must as well join them, I just got my Rajin. Next is the Orcan if I get the time to do it. |
