Sooo I'm someone who's a noob to tanking to get lowered into a different league..only learned of this minutes ago lol. But I've had a tactic on the go now for the black market of just starting matches and not sending out bots..all so I can gain keys. Or "free opens" on bronze crates to be more accurate. Anyone else up to these shenanigans?
Also..if this topic is in the wrong place. Sorry/not sorry. Noob.. Delete this if ya gotta. I'm not moving this. Don't even know how tbh.

Pixonic has a prescribed method of tanking your rank based on their "leagues" and the matchmaking algorithm. The "Pixonic Way". Just be lowest scoring player in as many matches as possible. Last place on the losing side gets -22 ranking points. Lowest scoring player on the winning side only gets +3 ranking points. If you do the msth that means for every losing match you must win 7+ matches to offset it. That's how Pixonic allows you to tank so you can get your jollies stomping on noobs like a huge 「fluffernutter」tard. But a 「fluffernutter」tard with Pixonic's blessings.

I think that if you truly want to tank to drop down, the "best" way to do it would be to take all the weapons off your bots and send them out to be bullet bait. At least you're contributing something. Be a meat shield for a blue who's trying really hard to win.
Otherwise, just play normally.

Pixonic nitpiks over those "activity points", those points you get for doing damage. If you don't do damage then that's the only way the Pixonic will consider a player a tanker. |

In that case, put on all level 1 weapons like spirals.  |

Moderation. No offence to the Op, he is new. This topic has been discussed to death here on the forums and falls into a grey area of ethics. We take the position that Tanking is not something we condone and prefer not to discuss ways in which you can "game the system".
We are here to help you get better at War Robots if that is your aim. Not to help find out ways to ruin other peoples playing experience.
I am going to lock this thread as I cant see anything positive coming from it and there are dozens of threads here that started the same way that ran on for way too long if you want to visit them and read.
Cheers,
GG
