Who else hates it so much when literally everyone aims for you just because you have a bot they dont. Because of this I am having no fun at all with my inquisitor ember Taran in diamond league. Any tips. Inquisitor level 5 Tarans level 9 and ember level 5

Just think of it as an Ag delivery service... they bring the fight to you so you don't have to trudge all over the place to get to them.

I used to be like "Oooh, an Inquisitor!" but now I feel they're so common I barely notice them.

If this is your experience, steer clear of the healer bots. Mender and especially Weyland are bullet magnets, second only to Falcon with fangs out activated.
...or you can change your perception: instead of a bullet magnet, I like to consider my Weyland as an anvil. That big green circle does magical things to both Red AND Blue psychology in that they BOTH will target you...but for different reasons.
Leverage this psychological factor to your advantage with good situational awareness and it may make your distain for being the most popular bot on the map to target morph into standard operating procedure.
as always, YMMV.

Who else hates it so much when literally everyone aims for you just because you have a bot they dont. Because of this I am having no fun at all with my inquisitor ember Taran in diamond league. Any tips. Inquisitor level 5 Tarans level 9 and ember level 5 Back before spec ran rampant I would target them... now there are so many I don't need to go looking for them :/ Ya some bots will get you targeted, same as weapon load out.. I hate shock trains and hydra's are weak in close combat so they get hunted down regularly.

Hey, I run a bunch of Golems and players target me thinking I'm an easy kill. I say "Bring it on!"

Any tips. Inquisitor level 5 Tarans level 9 and ember level 5 If you have a bot they are jealous of, use it to kill them! The Inquisitor can go on stealth and wreck their Griffins. *Hint* -> That's why they kill you when your stealth is off

Maybe they're not aiming at you because of your bot, but because your bot is in the open? Seriously, an Inky out in the open, with it's stealth worn off is just a bag of silver. My DB Inky is in my big map hangar, and the only time I bring it out is to recapture a beacon on BR, or if I'm reasonably sure I can get to the action under cover.

I would shoot you just for calling it an inky I shoot people for simply having a bot on the field. Everyone in my clan shoots at bots that are in the middle of the field. I think this might be a case of operator error rather than inquisitor-envy. The obvious solution is to move to the higher tiers where everyone kills inquisitors because they are a big bag of silver.

If EVERYONE is targeting you you’re in the wrong place with the wrong tactics

One thing no one mentioned: level that bot! In Diamond I don't run any bots below 9, come to think of it's same with weapons. You might survive a little longer and cause damage quicker to dispatch opponents (who are likely level 9 or higher with possibly MKII weapons) Yes, cover is your friend. On large maps it's unavoidable, but in the open everyone is a target. I never targeted an Inquisitor before I got one unless he was shooting at me or foolish enough to walk out in the open when there weren't easier targets around. I usually target long-range weapon slinging bots. They sit in the back keeping my teammates from reaching Beacons, so I try to take them out so my team can move more freely around the map.

You are not getting targeted because of your bot, exactly, I think. When you come out of stealth, there is a short window you can be hit. Everybody will try to hit you during that window, because there will be other bots to shoot at when you jump again.

Thanks for the replies. I am currently levellingg my inquisitor, but the upgrade times are ridiculous. Any tips on big maps like yamantau?

Don't think anyone hates the inquistor that much to target you. Run a hydra bot or shocktrain spectre and you'll be a magnet.

Any tips. Inquisitor level 5 Tarans level 9 and ember level 5 I think they target you because of the potential you have to cause havok when going stealth. That being said, when that is a rare thing at a certain level, people will target you to get rid of that "certain factor" of the match, so that they can continue to play in their standard style/strategy. Also, with your bot still being low level, you may want to try range & only stealth to escape being targeted. Like this... After you level it up and achieve more durability and speed, then use the close range weapons & stealth to ambush targets. Most times you will kill the target before you de-cloak, but if you don't, you have the durability to finish the fight & speed to find cover after.

Thanks again for the replies, anyway has anyone noticed that weapon placements on the bot are weird. For example the hydra looks like it’s barely attached on the griffin.

I totally know what you're talking about.... Same thing happens to me, Reds are super jealous of me lately!!!
They see my superfast strider heading to Center and they're like, WHAAT!!!... Bot Envy man, bot envy. Because of that they all just target me. Such a shame that people are so petty.
Envy is a sin!!!! They'll pay, I swear by Jove they'll pay

Honestly my griffins can do better than my inquisitor. I might as well vault it as it is an aphid magnet, a spiral magnet, a hydra magnet, a zenit magnet and a noricum magnet. I don’t know why I’ve invested so much on the useless bot. Griffins can do better. My iPad might not last long if I use the inquisitor

Yep I gave inquisitor one more chance and it was rest by a trident fury when it was in stealth. I might be saying goodbye to the inquisitor and just sell it and the ember for silver, I should’ve just saved for the haechi

Inquisitor is trash in the meta right now, as I keep getting killed out of stealth. Imma go sell my inquisitor.

You get targeted because you are on the battle field. Just like all the other players.

Lol I guess I was a bit raged. I’m not actually going to sell my Inquisitor. But it’s annoying because I usually have to cling to the walls as I’m targeted by hydras, spirals and aphids even when I’m not out in the open.

Everyone is using plasma. And if they are using rockets you are too squishy. So I wouldn’t spend time money or silver on that bot

I think you're just being targeted because you're on the battlefield. everyone in diamond has an inquisitor.
