I have the same issues with the new MM that everyone else has, but this is what really pisses me off about it. Geps cost 1200 gold. I would run 4 or 5 at a time. So that's 6000 gold if I used them in all slots. I wouldn't have bought so many if I had known at any point they would become useless.
So now I'm using higher bots because..well, like I have a choice. But damn this game is boring now that I'm using these big, slow lumbering bots instead of using light, faster bots. I hate camping/campers and I don't want to just sit around firing off tridents/trebuchets because that sucks. I had more fun playing hide and seek instead of just trading haymakers. Am I wrong in this?

Only that it kinda sounds like you were a clubber and now facing the reprocussions. There's lots of rants just like yours of people who did the same thing. For the record, I think every bot could use a 20 buff to speed up the whole game.

1. Gep still useful.
2. At any time any bot or weapon can be nerfed or buffed.
3. You don't like the game anymore? Glad to have you, see you soon...don't forget to write.
Other than that, are you expecting some sort of intervention or somthin'?

i'm with you, i used two geps in my hangar, and they were really fun. not just because of winning, but they were very fast & responsive, you could cap 3 beacons in the time it took for a boa to get in range.. but..
we've been talking quite openly about this new MM since at least last November here in the Wiki, so no less than two months before this update came out. its always been said that Geps were way too strong in the early portion of the game (Bronze league), and then they become about useless later on (High Silver) because they max speed at lvl 1 or 2, and their overall health is just not enough once you get into heavy bot opponents.
Even better than speed, I'd like to see them give each&every bot some jump ability, like every 30 secs you can jump waist-high or something. just so if you are in a lance on PP, you don't have to walk all the way around to those stairs on the beach. or in springfield, you had more ways of getting back into the city/industrial zone than those two far-apart ramps. i could deal with how slow the movement is if we had that,

I guess the lesson to learn from this is: game changes, so either have a diverse hangar or take a chance that a single change in the game will hurt you.
As a solution, I wonder what kind of opposition you would face if you upgraded your geps to, say, level 7, and let your ELO settle?

Gep is useless practically. The only way they can survive in TT is by standing next to a Leo--at a mere 87K HP at lvl12, guess who I'm going to save my DB for?
When I'm in a TT Fury, I pull the last shot and target geps or stalkers as it doesn't normally take any more than that to blow they up.
I can't substantiate this claim but I swear they sometimes blow up just by putting your cross hairs on them.

I didn't"buy" my 5 geps I earned the gold for them,same with the ROG, and 5 slots. Was I made about the new MM yes, yes I was and still kinda now.
That being said I was lucky and had spent some silver on some medium and hvys to 7-9.

Am I wrong in this? 100% agree with you. I ran 3 geps a rog and a golem use to run around the map and have a blast going toe to to... now its just a full range very very slow boring game I went from playing 50 +++ games a day to maybe playing 12 ... and i have to force myself to play because this game play is just not fulfilling If the league system doesn't bring back the excitement then I doubt I will be playing.. I already know I most definitely wil not being playing top teir War Robots.... unless they make HUGE HUGE changes to the speed of the game and elminate or discourage the overzealous amount of tridents and trebs Reading the replies here it makes me laugh.. Nobody I know playing this game thinks the new MM is working.. and our trophies as a clan have dropped dramatically.. Use to be top 100 now nobody is having enough fun to play that much, and everyone's hangars are so different we can't even find common ground to make it fun again |
