 The moment I saw this beautiful view, I put down my phone and went to bathroom. Took the best dump in 2019.  |

I originally saw it as a challenge to work out ways of beating them. And I came so close one game in capturing their side home beacon.
But now I'm thinking damn them.... damn them all to hell. If they want silver I'll give them as little as possible and give them one bots worth.

Should have went right instead of to the bathroom. If they are all at the lower bridge then no one went topside. Go topside and take their home.Get as much damage as you can even when losing as you will still get silver and honor points. Matchmaker is going to 「i want to snuggle you」 when its your turn no matter what anyways. Good luck and happy hunting.  |

As annoying as the situation is, let's keep in mind that the "death squads" (I'm not in one of them) don't have control over who they are coming up against. What are they supposed to do when being matches with randoms? Play nicely?
If anyone is at fault here, it's .. PIXONIC

Should went to kitchen get some ice cream on the right side. Anyway, their side beacon was indeed open because they intentionally left it like that to let beacon bar drain slower to buy enough time to gangbang us. I was having the urge to fight back or give up, never thought I could take their beacon. Oh well, I was happy with 6th place, didn't like top 2 lose and still move up. |

I dont see these on Amazon, however the death squads we do get, maxed hangers X6 on comms against random... I just bail!
At that point the "team" is screwed and I will not waste my time and effort fighting a loosing/losing war.
I know you purists will condemn me for this action as antiteam work or whatever, but I have been playing long enough to know that I will get negative numbers in this battle, no gold, little silver and 2-3 minutes of my life I can not get back.
If you and your clan want to run death squads that overwhelm the reds for an easy win, you will do it without me.
I see the reason for squads, I see that the way they are doing it is the way it is to be done, but I just wont be used as a silver farm, not as long as Amazon has no LPQ.

I was giving them the benefit of doubt that they don’t enjoy these types of games but not anymore. I see at least 10 death squads a night on iOS at a min and I am convinced by their behavior that they do in fact enjoy these games. It’s farms silver and keeps their clan rankings up. There are a few things these clans can do that have been talked to death about so I won’t rehash them. This game in low champs is becoming unplayable IMHO!! |

Yeah, like I said, I just wont play that match. When I can get a match that is, in general, random vs random, then I play. I am not looking for an advantage over reds, I am just looking for a fun match. there is no fun in being beaten so mercilessly that i would have been better off chewing on a lightbulb. |

Lol, man, I'm not in Champs but if I was facing that I'd probably quit and start a new match. If everyone did that they would just be stuck restarting new matches, boom, everyone quits, restart...keep them waiting forever to actually get to play. It's what they deserve. HB is a stupid bot and should be deleted. Getting to dash and explode on someone doing huge damage is really 「slow」.

As annoying as the situation is, let's keep in mind that the "death squads" (I'm not in one of them) don't have control over who they are coming up against. What are they supposed to do when being matches with randoms? Play nicely? If anyone is at fault here, it's .. PIXONIC What you are saying is partially correct but its missing one angle. I think a better assessment of the situation would go like this (in summary because I am not following the logical argument to its final point and not exploring all its angles). “Death Squads” are “playing fairly”. Such behaviour is as per game design intent (intentional or otherwise). Several aspects of the game design allow for such behaviour and even encourage it. If they are playing as per design intent then they are “playing fairly”. And since they are doing it over and over again they are receiving a positive benefit from such practice in return for which they pay Pix…….. However, the outcome is “undeserved” for the player on the receiving end despite fair play on the “death squad’s members part . The player on the receiving end has no obligation to participate (but are threatened against opting out by such things as the LPQ). Especially in an activity that is “supposed to be”/”sold as” a highly competitive online game. The best way to counter such game design and practices is by not participating because it removes the benefit from the “death squads” which in turn will force Pix to take corrective action. Death squads are complicit in the outcomes. Pix designed the game to cater for death squads. Deaths squads filled the role and play and pay Pix. Therefore they are complicit. |

I had a really bad night last night. One of the worst nights I have had playing this game. But now that I have had some time to think it over I should be pissed at the match making and not the players. While I disagree with how this is allowed it is not their fault it’s the match making. I have level 9 bots with level 8-10 weapons running no boosters going against mk4 clans! It’s just dumbfounding. Edit: I usually run solo 99% of the time Since most of my clan stays in low masters. When they run together they do really well. Throw me in their team and it’s just garbage . 5 blues with 5,000 cup or under pilots going against 5. 10,000+ Fully boosted/ module clans is a joke. |

Can anyone put out a list of these so called death squads??Ive been in a clan for a long time and weâve busted our tails though the years weâve played to acquire our gear.You can't just start playing and be a GOD unless youâve clearly paid for it .But thereâs also no reason after a battle that you start a squad yourself and pick up good players as you battle.Also a little tip you can wait and see who drops and take a note. If eggbots your gonna wanna start w orks and or something w lockdown.But yes i also agree running eggbots w laststand are 「kitty cats」.Especially a whole squad.

I am on iOS and I rarely if ever see a death squad before the evening time. And even then it's maybe 20% of the time. And yes I am in Champions League. One thing I do though is after running into one, I take a break from Quick Match/BR and go into either TDM or FFA for a round. What happens is that sometimes you get cycled in with the same squad over and over so you have to break that cycle. |
