Hey pilots!
I was bored to play with only max damage as goal and everytime the same bots. So I skipped to my fun-bots instead. I'm trying hard to help my team by playing smart and sometimes it works, but in case of a defeat I'm often the one with -22 points.
I still have fun, but when does the tanking start? I started my funhangar when I was low Diamond 3 and now I'm mid in Gold 1. Do I have to fear to be reported as tanker?
What do you do to spice up your game?
(Sorry, I'm no native speaker, hope the language is ok)

I believe you can't be reported now. The once-dev-sponsored form is offline AFAIK. And unless you drop out of matches you won't get put into LPQ either. And I wouldn't tag you as a tanker. Real tanking is dropping from Champions to Silver. Going from Diamond III to Gold I doesn't qualify as tanking IMO. It's a good thing you are having fun again. Keep it real!

I think you have the right idea grumpy. Play a game within the game.
I was doing that with FFA. I wouldn't revive any bots. Sometimes I would only play one bot. Try to be 1st with lowest score. I had my goofy hangar, experimental, LR on small maps, etc. I've seen guys have 1 bot mk2 hangars with 1000's of games. I've seen all cossack mk2 hangars, You get the picture.
It's not tanking, if you do your best, and frankly, it doesn't matter even if you are tanking. I know this forum doesn't condone it, but the company does so find your sweet spot and enjoy as best as possible.

There are too many variables (tanking/fading/boosters/whales vs F2P/nerfs/buffs/new gear etc) in this game to be truly competitive and unless you have a "pie in the sky" view of going all the way (e.g. Legend (Pay) League) what you have come too is the best way to play and enjoy War Robots. I have said it before - I play what I want, when I want, in any configuration that I want to suit me. Using that recipe I find I can still get enjoyment and the most fun out of this mobile game.

grumpyking, don't fear to be called a tanker. Everyone who looks at your hangar and sees a proprely leveled lineup knows you're not. Your previous league doesn't really matter. From the Pix policy side, they only monitor the process of going down. If it's a natural battle, they don't have a problem either.

It only becomes an issue if you insert your max damage hangar into a league well below where that hangar should be.
Actually, it doesn't become an issue. I don't know that there even are consequences. But it's bad form, if nothing else.
Cheers.

I run 2 hangers, one for serious Ag grinding and one for fun. I try to keep an eye on my league points so that I don't drop down. I'm not afraid of being reported as a tanker, which, as mentioned before, I don't think you can do anymore. Hackers and obvious cheats I think you can still report, but Pix has never cared about tanking. During the last real event I played a lot more than normal trying to win a Haechi, but got clubbed all the way down from D3 to S1, and that was really trying. I never got the Haechi, even got put in the LPQ for leaving matches early after realizing a whale was running around 1-shot killing everybody. Now I stay away during the week before and after the events, or as soon as I notice, to avoid the tankers running up & down the leagues with MK2/12 gear.
