Well, Lancelots are boring to pilot, hence why I only run one. Stalkers are fast and meant for hit-and-run action yet have little firepower, same w/ your Jesse although that brings more firepower to the table, your Griffin is a one-punch master, and the Hover seems more like a suppressor w/ the Punishers to antagonize opponents. What is your preferred playstyle? You seem to have a nice variety here, but otherwise I would encourage you to focus mainly towards builds that fit your playstyle.

I would say that punishers are pretty underwhelming at lvl 6 , maybe try Tulu/ Pin ,or a Molot combo. Something for Midrange is my advice since everything else is close range

Get 2xTarans and use a magnum from the stalker for the Hover maybe. nothing wrong with punishers but IDK about being on a hover except hover can ambush and punishers at close range hurt... alot
Stalker don't do much dmg and is hurting your placement. Switch it for something you might like.
You hit 1 mill already, congrats!

I have a similar hanger (RDB Griff, Tarancalot, Magnum Stalker, Carnage (zeus or thunder), and Kumiho.
Level those weapons up to 10 and things will get more exciting. Start with the tarans then the orkans.
Last event I started using stalker for beacons but now I find I cannot remove it! Love taking down Carnages solo, or sneaking behind enemy base in City and causing havoc.
If you have used the same load outs you may just be bored of doing the same thing.

It's difficult to tell people what they should be running since everyone's got a different preference, play style, and goal; for instance, do you plan on going all the way or hovering in, say, Diamond League? So run whatever you like and decide which builds you like to pilot the best--but so far your hangar's pretty decent.
My recommendations:
- stick to plasma on your hover.
- your hangar's a bit too high to be in gold league.
- your ave. damage is too low though (2-3 of your bots should be doing that damage); maybe you're too aggressive?
I've actually played against you on a nerf account--hard not to remember your ign; can't tell you mine as it's somewhat disparaging of a certain president.

Hard to say what to change without knowing what you're looking for and where you want to get to. Looks pretty fun to me. Maybe a Rog or a Carnage would spice things up a little. Also, level your weapons not your bots.

Taran/aphid on the hover. Adjust others as needed.

We usually have widely-accepted effective builds but if you are (literally) asking for a 'fun' or 'not boring' hanger, it's quite personal.
Or largely depends on play style.
E.g. I have a friend that enjoy pissing off others with homing missiles. I don't quite get it but he's having fun, who knows.

You have no mid range and four squishy robots.

Quick comment is “weapons before bots”.
What this means is most of us upgrade our weapons first and keep them 1+ level ahead of the robots.
Your Jesse is 6 levels above the Aphids....

You have no mid range and four squishy robots. Agree on the mid-range, but his bots should be quite decent for at least Diamond. Hover is also played in Champion. So are Aphid lobbers, although the Patton seems more common. DB Griffin is still a meta bot (if you can't afford Cash bots, anyway). |

Those weapon levels are really really low. Work on getting them up a bit. Your current hangar can take a lot punishment but it is more important to be able to dish it out.

Fun is all relative. The Lance is indeed boring to pilot but I love to win so that balances it out. If I want to play for pure fun, The Rog is where its at for me. That bot may not be the toughest or even the fastest but I have yet to hear ANYONE say its NOT fun...

Aphid jesse is terrible x2.

Jesse is terrible. Aphids are terrible. Aphid jesse is terrible x2. Why would you say Aphids are terrible, they are viable in high-level play. Jesse of course is another story. |

You need something that punches harder. IDK what these folks are talking about Lances being no fun to drive. Maybe tarancilot slapfights? Thunder orkan lance is super fun to pilot for a few short brutal minutes.

I only support but the only time i dont is when i rage to hydra's and stuff If you enjoy playing the support role, you can try a Nat with Trident+Nori. Unconventional build, but surprisingly effective in taking out hiding-n-seek Griffins. Nori can also help bringing down Anciles w/o compromising range. |

The rogatka would be a nice additional collection for me. I still don't have one on the live server. Ive used it in the test server before and I find it fun to pilot with. If you are planning to climb in high leagues then the rogatka wouldn't be as viable as some other bots in the higher leagues .

i feel like something is wrong with my hangar it just seems so boring to me. i don't know if its the stalker or the hover, or whatever. if you could tell me what i should replace i'd take the advice and test it out. anyways heres my hangar. From my point of view you hangar seems boring because it uses only 4 types of weapons - 350m energy, 500m projectile, 300m rockets and aphids. One thing I would do is put in a bot or two with heavy weapon slots, like carnage with thunders... or maybe use tulumbas or pins on someone. Or even use mixed builds. Felt the same as you a time ago, and playing with different builds (even mixed type and range weapons on the same bot) made the game a lot more fun to me. At start those builds felt underpowered, because damage output wasn't as great in most situation, but when i got used to them, i was able to do same amount of damage as other superior builds. What i use most frequently: Griffin - Punisher/Punisher T/Tulumba/Pin Griffin - Orkan/Taran/Magnum/Pinata Rogatka - Scourge/Orkan Carnage - 2x Thunder Leo - Noricum/2xaphids/Tempest Sometimes i use Raijin with a Trident and Tempest, too, depends on mood. At first my hangar looks messed up and not that effective as RDB or PDB griffin or others, but mixing weapons gives me more choices at every situation. It is common for me that others criticize my hangar, but that's because (other than they haven't used it) they play differently and my build doesn't even suit them. I really enjoy when reds in every game at least once mistake my weapons for others and attack me when i can finish them off fast. Kinda like a trolling build. And as it was built in a longer time (1st Griff hasn't changed since Tulumbas and Pins rockets were shot all at once), I have really learned to master their advantages in battle very well. And i find it more interesting that my robots are more prepared to fight against different enemy bots, not only agains brit bots or ancile wearers etc. So, if a robot has 2, 3 or 4 weapon slot of the same type, you don't have to put matching weapons in them. Experiment a little and maybe you'll find my style of playing more suitable for you, too. |

Support? get tulumbas and pins on a Griffin (the almighty RDB) and send weapons to level 9/10, keep Griff 8/9. All cheap, silver (griffin comes at lvl 6 from factory, tulumbas at lvl5) and, if you make good use of awareness and jump, you can last an entire battle with it (I once did 1 million in IOS low expert just with it).
