O look ... first post and it's a rant ......been playing a couple of months and seem to have hit a wall ... no not lack of talent but tankers coming back down ..... probably played 20+ games today .... think I've won 5 , every game somebody has vanished .... if it's not tanking it's people playing for damage and not beacons ,maybe we shouldn't get silver for losing ......

Squadding by joining an active clan with many members may help keep full teams.

Gold 2 by my finger nails That's where I'm at. You know, every now and then my elderly dad calls and I drop a game because I'm a caregiver and have to be tuned in. Things change unexpectedly. Still, total drag to just get toasted repeatedly. The cliff hangers kill me, when you really work it and have a good game and it is tossed because of a tanker. That makes you think less of people. The fact that it is a strategy, well, that's just garbage.

I guess there's a new strategy that's been recently developed that I'm just now learning about: everybody hang back behind cover, because heaven forbid they might get fired at, until the beacon bar is so far beyond saving, and then everybody rush the center beacon after its too late. I lost count of games today where I and maybe one other player mech out chasing beacons, only to have them all recaptured right away because nobody else is out defending. Then after I'm dead and the game is well beyond lost, all of a sudden they ditch their Natty snipers for their Griffins and hot the battlefield. I'm cringing here. I want to reach through this little screen and choke the 「dookie」 out of every one of them. It's almost funny now if it wasn't so 「fluffernutter」ing pathetic.

And then kindly explain, maybe, ummmm, oh I don't know.... WHY??!!?First off, if the whole team is doing it, or even just three, only two players are going to come in 1st or 2nd. So in the event of the inevitable loss, everybody else enjoying tea for most of the game is screwed. Second, in these games I've been in, they all wait until the reds have such a beacon advantage that there's no way for blues to catch up, even if they miraculously grab all 5 beacons, which they couldn't possibly do because the reds still have most of their hangafor and health left. This is just stupid and annoying, unless it's a group tank, in which case it's still stupid and annoying. I was just in about 5 more straight games that went about this way. Somebody grabbed 2 beacons to start, then 4 players just hung back while 2 of us ran our 「multiple dookie delivery chute」 off trying to grab that center beacon. We lost every game. But.... I need kills and tokens right now, not wins, and every one of those games I had 1st or 2nd most damage and kills, meaning I got the tokens. But if I needed wins, I'd be royally pissed off.

Hmmm.... I think I just figured it out. Pixonic just needs to add a little consequence to dropping out. IF you do the least amount of damage on a losing team, and your damage is less than half of the next worst pilot on your team, and you have less than 2 beacons, you are fined 5 gold. If you drop out and you are not replaced, you will be fined 5 gold then. Making it less likely you will want to gamble and drop out. You wont fight the minimal amount either because you will be afraid it wont be enough damage. So you will want to make sure you do enough damage that you are not fined. IF you are a beacon runner and like to use fast small bots, you should get at least 2 beacons and that helps your team win games. So you wont be fined. If you suck at capping beacons and only get one beacon with very little damage, you risk getting fined 5 gold. I think the best consequence would be a mandatory wait to play again. Similar formula as LQ karma. 1 or 2 skips/tanks/fades in a row you have to wait 1 minute to start the next battle with an explanation why. 3-5 and you have to wait 10 minutes. 5-10 times and you have to wait an hour between battles. 10-15 would be a day wait and so on.

I just got annihilated by a couple of 12/12 hangars in Diamond II league. They were clan mates, of course. I wish there were a way to know what levels these 「bum-bum chapeau」s' hangars are before the game starts rather than waiting til after the fact to see what just beat the hell out of me. LQ or not, I'd just leave the game. I don't know what or how, but Pix needs to do something about this. Just one game with these 「fluffernutter」heads takes every bit of fun and enjoyment out of playing.

Super crappy teams this morning. If I get stuck on an idiot team who runs past beacons and throws the game quickly, I'll burn all my bots going after beacons and just GTFO.

can't believe people still complaining this topic........... Really. 11 games this morning. I counted 23 tankers (yes 23!!) all up on blue team alone across those games. It's a shame LQ doesn't seem to be operating for these 「bum-bum」 wipes to play in.

Today i started dropping leagues, its complete bull「dookie」 being a lvl 24 not even leveled a bot only 2 weapons and i get faced with maxed lvl 30 hangars this was in silver 2-gold 3. So i just started leaving idk if this will make things worse but i dont see any point in playing 10 min rounds knowing that i have no chance against my opponents, and that in itself is dissapointing seeing that every game i play im outgunned and outmanned. Ppl may say use fifferent tactics but a lvl 6 griff has no chance vs a lvl 12 griff.

Too much of that gets you thrown into what's called the Leavers Que, which is about as close to the 9th circle of hell as a mobile game can get. Rush headlong into the fire and get blowed up if you must, and then leave after all your bots are gone, but don't leave games while you still have bots available in your hangar.

LQ or not, I'd just leave the game. I don't know what or how, but Pix needs to do something about this. Just one game with these ?firetruck?heads takes every bit of fun and enjoyment out of playing. Exactly. I had an 8 Rhino wiped out in under 4 seconds in Shentzen before I even physically reached the parking lot beacon. Didn't get off more than a few rockets. Less than 30 seconds into the game, and my best bot is a lawn ornament; starting off as someone's toilet paper...couldn't care less about LQ. I went into another match on the same map, and put up a win. I bail when I see the following: 1) Disproportionate firepower. i.e, lvl 8 Rhino DB fires first, and is destroyed by a lvl 5 Griff or Galahad PDB that survives with all weapons intact. 2) I lose half my hangar taking the center beacon, and while I'm holding it in place, nobody sends reinforcements before I'm overwhelmed...not even a few Zenits. 3) The blues are burning up hangars trying to take the center beacon, and when I go to flank one of the undefended beacons, nobody decides they had better send some bullets that way.

Well I lost count of how many games I've played (and lost) today where the highest-ranked player with a pretty hefty hangar, in some cases 11/12, finished last on the team in damage, kills and caps -- but not quite 0's. Apparently they're coming up with more covert methods of tanking. Despite their best efforts, and perhaps what's of greater concern to me, is that I still managed to move up to Diamond 2, which I really didn't want to do quite so soon -- I was hoping to get more of my hangar up to 9/9 first. Oh well -- losing streak rants should be forthcoming!!

This is how my matches have been going all day. One moment clearly on top then all of a sudden done to 1, 2 bots left on the the field. Some of it is down to pics putting silver players in my game. Champions league 1. But most is down to cowards and tankers. They just won't leave the spawning area so we get overwhelmed. Its 'beacon rush' not 'beacon creep'. I've so had enough of these creeps. What you do buy all you have and still don't have any skill's? You tankers got no skills u just suck!

What you do buy all you have and still don't have any skill's? You tankers got no skills u just suck! You mean, those big red vertical things don't just automatically turn themselves blue? I've stopped worrying about getting wins, to the point that I even switch out the Win 8 Battles task, which has helped immensely in coping with perpetual campers and all other things that contribute to losses. The only wins I concern myself with now are the daily three for extra silver, just because I'm OCD and can't stand those three flags hanging there on my hangar screen. All I'm trying to do now is improve my game, get better with my bots and recognizing my surroundings, just helping the team out any way I can. I haven't stopped trying to win, but I'm trying not to get too flustered at the losses. There are still things that really frustrate me, but I've been really trying lately to just focus on what I can control. I can't make a tanker get himself engaged in the game, I can't make a camper eject into a beacon runner, I can't make teammates follow me around for backup. If I lose a game that was winnable or get shredded by a thoroughly OP team, I still get miffed and might drop in here to whine about it, but I try to remind myself that, as frustrating as those things are, they're not stopping me from working on my own game. They might slow me down a bit, but they're not stopping me. And yes, it's a chore trying to keep myself in that mindset, as anyone who's read most of my posts in here can attest.

Glad I found this thread, now to unwind.
I'm fed up! My win rate is down to 34%! I'm usually one of the last to die in my team and after looking these, I believe are the reasons for it.
For answers I'm in gold 3.
1: poor matchmaking. How the hell am I supposed to survive against an opposing team when only one is from my league? I've even had team made up of leagues below me down to bronze 1.
2: tankers. Why the hell leave early, just because you don't like the map! What a poor excuse for a gamer. I suppose these people are the ones who cry in other pvp games when a map comes they don't like.
3: Faders. So, you are in silver 2, but your hanger is full (all 5 spaces). Filled with lvl 10-12 bots, all with lvl 11-12 weapons. Yeah something fishy there.
4: people who I like to call farmers. Yep, you've all come across them. Those who "farm" for damage! Oh look, an unguarded, unclaimed beacon. But I'm going to run to the opposite side of the map to farm for damage. Hey, they may have cost their team the win but they got that 1mill+ damage.
If I could figure out how to add photos on here from mobile, I would gladly put up loads of photos showing what I mean.
All those who come into the categories above, do us all a favour. Go play clash of clans! Then you won't have to worry about leaving maps, or doing the most damage, or finding easy targets because you bought all the gear with no idea!
Rant over...
For now.
