So in this game we all at times in the lower leagues mainly come across tankers. I think I now understand why people tank. I've had to fight the urge to do it myself. I was doing fairly well playing in a clan but over night it all changed. The mm started putting me in teams where I was with a team averaging around level 9 to 11. As you can imagine I was losing every game as the reds were a team of champs. So game after game I was getting more pissed off and getting pressured from my clan I decided to leave the clan. Now I'm in the low champion league and have completely give up trying to advance. I got so fed up and thought why not tank just so I could start winning some time. I know I've got a lot to learn ive only been playing six months. I'm on Amazon so that's why I got to champ league so quickly. I had to take a step back and think should I tank cause of being beaten all the time. It's not the right thing to do as mm makes it bad enough for players coming through the leagues but it does make me understand why the problem is so huge. It's always going to be a problem until the mm is fixed and the game becomes more balanced. Till then I'll just grind on without a clan so there is no pressure cause that's when it stops being fun..games are for fun..That's the whole point isn't it?

Bad news for you I’m afraid. Tanking on amazon is pointless, the leagues are all mixed up. Nothing will change, you’ll just get lower reward chests etc.
Amazon does it to me too. I have to assume that each match must be won single handedly as I’m only teamed with very level team mates. Mostly privates in stock destriers shooting at walls, who I’m utterly convinced are Ai

Android champion 1 player here. My clan wants me to squad with them again, but have always given me a golden pass to stay in the clan without squading with them because they don't want to pressure me to tank and don't like getting 「fluffernutter」ed by squads of shocktrain spectres.
However after the release of boosters, the nerf of keys and a scathing defeat in a Weyland giveaway to a cancerous spanish youtuber who abused his viewerbase to help him win, I too am high considering tanking down with a shock spectre and gust pursuer. Using easy earned gold to grab honor point boosters so I can farm for Mender components...
I, a long time non tanker have had enough and want MY way for once.

I started in spring 2016, left because I built a gaming PC, then came back in Dec last year after losing everything to financial troubles.
So, I have made it to Gold on Android, and have yet to acquire any WP or component bots. I am using mainly old school bots with some WP weapons, and have some Gepards/Gareths/Jesses/Stalkers won in the chests.
It seems this past few weeks I have been up against players 1 or 2 leagues higher than me. Most matches are won by whomever has the most power and has nothing to do with skill. Tankers, baby whales, clubbers, and "cheap" deals on new set ups, like a Raijin with 3 Tarans for 20.00 usd have flooded the lower leagues all the way to private.
I started tanking down into Silver/Bronze just to have a good match. By far I do not club. I keep it competetive for me. Some times I land in top 3, and even first, and sometimes I lose big.
I say tank, club, gring the noobs to dust! Bring al, of your Mk2/ lvl 12 all the way to Private Leayyue if you can. Send a message to all the newcomers. . ."Pay, or get ?whiskey tango foxtrot?pwnd to dust.", in hope that it will start driving people away and hurting Mail.ru in the wallet.
All in all, I could care less about tankers now, as of yesterday the game has been uninstalled. But, I will keep an eye on things to see how it all turns out.
To the OP, good luck!

Don't do it; don't have any solutions to offer but if you reached this point drop the game. 4 years,5accounts,2platforms+250euros and I'am closing shop today. I prefer leaving than tanking. |

Tanking ultimately puts money on Mail.ru's wallet. All you're going to do for the most part, is convince people to spend money just to be able to have fun and last more than a few seconds. Face it. Tanking is intentionally set up by the game. Sure, you might drive several new F2P players off, but those who like this genre will stick it out because there are no better alternatives out there. I've been playing other games, and I can see where Mail.ru is headed. This sort of monetization is not new by any stretch. If anything War Robots is finally playing catch up to what's out there. Don't believe me? Take a look at Wild Wings or anything else by that company. You cannot play a game without getting inundated with "deals".
