The problem now is that if you try to help your team win by capping beacons, you're almost gauranteeing you will be bottom two in damage. That means best case scenario is +4, and worst case is -20. Assume an average win ratio of 50%, and you're netting -8 per game on average. The way it's set up now, it makes no sense to beacon cap. Not to mention, it further enhances tanking. Once you've received the reward for entering a league, there's no incentive to stay in the league. So after you've reached as high as your hangar can go, you're better off dropping for easier matches and easy gold. I see what you're saying. I just like to win, maybe now that I am paired against those with similar ability/hangars I am just happier instead of facing the 12/12 hangars. Count your blessings. I'm on iOS and just got leagues today. I'm in Silver II and I just faced my first 12/12 ever today. And then my second and third. |

Pardon my French. All of my matches so far have been on the up-and-up. My insta-nuking were legit efforts from multiple enemy mechs. The only solid crushing defeat was when four guys 1st spawned in Furries and tried to play Sniper-Hero. We deserved to lose that match. Just going to hope the luck carries on for a bit. |

The new league system has spoiled it for me in two main ways though. 1) Tactics have more or less been removed, apart from rush the beacons or fill your hanger with long range weapons like trebuchets ramped up to level 10+, and just spoil the game from afar. and 2)The points system has killed teamwork by punishing you for playing unselfishly for the team. These are good points and isn't Pixonic trying to address the second issue by dividing rating points equally among squad members? |

Am I the only one who played this game unselfishly and feels the game has lost something? I agree. It's frustrating. My suggestion? Don't adapt to the arms race. You'll do more damage, place in a higher league where there's MORE damage and you'll be even less happy. Keep doing what you're doing... capture beacons, help team-mates, try to achieve the win and enjoy a job done well. One day Pix will add points for positive contributions other than damage, I hope! |

I think that it's best to upgrade bots before weapons. You'll last longer, and once you start surviving more, upgrade your weapons. It should put you in a good position for surviving as you move up the leagues.

Agree to your final point, but OP should adapt to dealing more damage now since that's the card we've all been dealt with. No harm aiming for that but of Au when he obtains a higher tier in the league. No harm dropping back down when things go south in said bracket. Adapt again when they start incentivizing beacon caps. That's just the way it is. |
