Manni's Test Server VideoComments (Courtesy : u/Finance_Trainer from Reddit)Manni Gaming in his latest video , infact on every video, does the following stuff : -> He calls the "pilot" feature diversity. No problem for him, because since he plays his BR account, he is going to get those LEGENDARY pilots maxed out ALWAYS on his BR Account - no understanding of the pain of upgrading and acquiring this stuff. -> He feels that stealth removal in Test server should also happen sometimes on Live server. -> If someone penetrates his Invincibility shield, gamer rage- MODE ON. -> He calls for Ares's nerf after using it for a hefty long period of time. -> He uses 240 power cells in 2 matches, that's 6 activations per game ! -> He is by fair afraid to use his own account because it is not maxed out and gives all sorts of nuisance reasons for the same. I don't understand why people adore him. Original comment on Reddit : The Original comment.

I'll agree that it does ad a layer of complexity to the game. For those who like this kind of thing this is sort of a positive. I will give him the benefit of the doubt that is what he means by "diversity".
I like the ability to fine tune a build to further develop it towards a certain playstyle or ability. I don't like them being called pilots and the pilots having bot specific abilities. That is just another way of saying that only certain bots are allowed to tweaked in this manner.
I'd rather go down a research tree to make my Leo a little faster at the cost of some HP or something similar to that. Not just stick a "pilot" in there and just have the bot be better.

I like manni‘s video because they are informative. In my view he plays very well. His skills can be compared to yours easily when he plays a skirmish for example and you have the exact same conditions. Typically he does around 20-30% more damage than I do and I am usually first or second. He knows every bot inside out and I learn many tricks from his videos. He tries to advocate outsider builds like the vortex specter or raven.
Why some probably tend to not like him I guess is his nationality comming through. He is a german guy. Germans are very direct and honest also the germans are known as a high energy aggressive nation. Have you asked yourself if you had the power to do a youtube video with passion like he does about every day for multiple years constantly?
Some accusations about him are plain wrong. He is a whale! - No he is not! He is a f2p player his account does not has the latest bots and they are not maxed and almost no modules.
He always plays his BR account with maxed stuff! Yes I asked him about that and the answer was: people ask for these videos. They have more views. I understand that also there is no difference to other youtubers.
The comment about stealth is a good example how he might be received differently. I understand it as follows : look no stealth (bug on the test server) why not leave it that way and bring it to the live server? The game does not really need stealth. It’s a critical comment and a sarcastic one.
His statement about the ares: it‘s a pest His statement about super healing: game does not need it About lockdown: change it to a guaranteed lockdown after the 5th hit
He is positive about the pilots. Let‘s see where it goes. I am not. I am afraid the pilots will make me quit the game.
There is some negativity against him. Unjustified in my views. If you don’t like him that’s not his fault.

Why do you hate him so much that you would start a whole thread just to flame him? nuisance reasons? Do you watch all his videos?

Well, I watched the video, and he mentioned that Pilots are good If they will be available for everybody and they get upgraded fast enough with just playing.

He doesnt use the Ares, he even said it on his video that was one of the few times his used it because he doesnt like using it as it needs a nerf. He did enjoy using it in that video though. Manni echoes alot of the stuff we say we want on this forum but he always gets unfair hate. His videos are informative and fun. People seriously need to stop getting at him for using his BR account. His a youtuber and people always want to see the newest, max content so he has to use his BR account.

I personally don’t hate him since I sub his channel when he was like 20k subs and I don’t like people bash him just because he exposed his true emotion in game just like one of us. Ask yourself, when you play do you act more manni or more Adrian? Right, you get mad at p2w, swear uninstall the game, later pick back up again. That’s manni. Then when you rage, you want to own a maxed out hangar and stick with it. Create floor cleaning footage to get content and satisfaction of destroying whales. He is a true rage gamer, childish but that’s what makes him a character.

Wake up... being a YouTuber is not a profession, it’s a condition.
OK maybe that’s a bit snarky. I actually do get that some people like to watch you tubers. It can be a fast way of combining information with entertainment.
But keep in mind, YouTube is advertising. This means YouTubers who aim to make a living of their condition have to walk a fine line between making their content attractive for their viewers (since their content is the product you’re buying) while retaining support by the vendors whom’s products they are presenting.
So if you watch YouTubers just enjoy the entertainment but don’t be too harsh if they don’t offer you the untarnished truth.

Well I like Manni (except when he's running around with a Vortex Spectre one hit kiling people) and here's why:
1) I learned a lot of techniques from him when I started playing and I still learn stuff by watching his videos.
2) He really does enjoy playing. I think some find his enthusiasm and energy level annoying but that's just who he is.
3) He's prolific. Most YouTubers do two or three videos a week. Manni does one almost every day.
In conclusion - Let Manni be Manni. If you really dislike him maybe don't watch his videos.

Can someone please tell him to change his video face graphic!? Ever since that “Love Doll” comment, it’s all I think of when I see that gaping-mouth face. And I REALLY don’t need that in my head.

The dude is invited by Pixonic for the 5th Anniversary all the way to Moskva. Adri will be there as well? Man both Entertainers must be the most important for Pix for such an invite. Both should be reported for being a risk for the NationalSecurity of their country.

The reason I don't like him has NOTHING to do with his nationality. It's his over the top fake enthusiasm that really annoys me. He is alway super supportive of all the OP stuff, so much that it really sounds like he's being paid to sell and advertise rather than inform. Adrian's videos on the other hand are funner to watch because a lot of the time, he will explain his tactics as he plays. I learned a lot from Adrian. Besides, in Adrian's last couple of live streams, he and his clan were running legacy bots. I think he called it the Fury squad. Sure, everything was maxed and he was squadding with his clan, but they too were running legacy bots. THOSE matches were fun and entertaining and you never once heard him get overly frustrated. He took each win or loss in stride and I had fun watching him. The friendly banter with this squad mates was fun to listen to too.
Another annoying thing about Manni is that he never takes chances. Yeah, that's the mark of a skilled pilot, but he doesn't care if his team wins or loses. He plays only for his own benefit. You never see him try charge and take a beacon because his team is losing. He would rather wait for another blue to make the sacrifice and then capitalize on it. In short, he's not a team player.

In fact, you shouldn't call for the nerf without using it.

This 100%. That's why his skill is often being questioned. He's unbelievably selfish and doesn't play to win but for good stats.

I don't understand why people adore him. Original comment on Reddit : The Original comment. I know why he's popular, He spams videos about op content while being way to enthusiastic about everything and rakes in the veiws, Not saying he shouldn't because how he runs his channel is irrelevant to me, but I find it strange people treat him as a legitimate beacon of balance advice. A broken clocks strikes true twice a day so he occasionally says something valid, occasionally. But several of his attempts at showing something as a problem, when it wasnt, or showing something as balanced, when it wasnt, makes him lose credibility imo. Due to his "get anything he wants for free" account. Its really hard to believe he is actually concerned with issues such as balance or the economy, if his entire hanger needs replaced he snaps his finger and boom mk2 new meta gear ready day 1.

He talks about balance all the time lol. And he tends to explain every move he makes, more than Adrian. I like both but to say Manni doesn't explain anything and is not concerned with balance is just wrong. I think people just don't watch his full videos or tend to miss parts of it or even dismiss everything. Nothing wrong with being excited about new content then give your opinion on it. Which he does, sometimes right at the end of the video if anyone gets that far.

I don’t like everything he does and I agree with some of the criticism towards him but if I didn’t like him that much I just wouldn’t watch him. I definitely wouldn’t waste time trashing him. I would rather trash pix! ?

He would rather wait for another blue to make the sacrifice and then capitalize on it. In short, he's not a team player. He has no team called VOX, just solo his life, that's mostly why he is not a team player. Manni is just doing his solo thing to make videos, Adrian has a clan to cover for each other. When solo, you want to PLAY FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT. A Leo is Gekkoing and a natasha is Zeniting at base, why would you give a F about the team? A random team is losing, it's not charging beacon, problem solved, that simple. He's not tanking, he's not fading, he's not trying to harm teammates, what we saw is just his game instinct tells him what to do on the field, there's no right or wrong. If he believes his huge damage output and he can capitalize better with a blue's sacrifice, he should stick with it. If he sacrificed and the blue can not capitalize and lost the game, are you going to make another posting saying Manni has poor skills and feed like a noob? Don't judge a person because his solo focused play style doesn't fit your clan leader team building mindset. My hangar as you can see, is solo to its absolute extreme, I just do my part of the job, cap 2-3 beacons, rush into crowd and deal 1 million or 2, within 3 minutes and Peace the F out, I don't F care about what's gonna happen to my team in 6 mins, because I already finished 2 more games by then. Ignore teamplay and farm damage at maximum speed, that's how I approach this game and afford Last stand upgrades. Even more selfish than Manni right? But since I don't post videos showing myself, I don't get flamed. "Fake enthusiasm" Oh brother, are you disconnected from the current social media? Name a popular youtuber who has no enthusiasm when doing their videos? You think all of them are "Regular honest whole heart enthusiasm" ? Screw that, youtuber is not an easy job, they often have to fake their emotions sooner or later to keep a channel positive and building followers. It's called work ethics, they have to keep it that way, whether it sounds fake or not to you. Have you watched his recent weapon damage detailed comparison, it's a top quality informative video and he spent a lot of time doing it. That's real enthusiasm right there. Again, don't compare him with your fav Adrian. Because Manni didn't do what Adrain did, and you have a problem with it? Manni explain his tactics and I learnt a lot from him too. He even learnt a tip from me when he was starting War Robots. If Manni name his channel Adrain_2, you think he will be where he is at right now?

That's real enthusiasm right there. Although his mannerisms & mantrums (man / Manni tantrums) are often annoying to me; and although his choice of video thumbnails usually out-right irritate me; he does on occasion provide useful content and often in a more timely manner than some of the other content creators. The weapons comparison video you linked is one such example; and I know from recording my own comparison videos how much time it takes to get everything right, and that’s before all the editing; so he does get well-deserved credit for that from me anyway. I do prefer watching Adrian most of the time (cool, calm, collected gameplay & commentary - usually), but Manni has his moments, and despite the annoyances I still check his channel for the useful vids that pop-up on occasion. As long as viewers remember to try and avoid being influenced by attempts to push certain content or make it look better than it actually is (by using max setups vs weak opponents - which Manni has done) then his content can be useful; obviously those that are easily influenced may end up cursing Manni several months into a resource depleting mistake. He seems like a decent enough guy, and although some may be overly critical of him, there is a decent amount of well-deserved criticism that he should try to learn from; it would be nice if he matured a bit and reduced the influence Pix clearly has over him (I do understand he is in a difficult position, but that is what he has chosen), then perhaps he wouldn't receive so much criticism.

This pilots thing is a rip off from the crew concept in World of Tanks and War Thunder, as well as the Captains in World of Warships.
But these games don't have weapons and modules that you have to level and power up. Modules and weapons on these games are flat, meaning they don't change specs or require special leveling on their own.
War Robots is adding too much power variables in the game and that for me is plain bad wrong game design.

I don't like watching the big ones anymore. Even if i lose out on some important strategy, so be it. The blow up doll face, the bad advice, fake enthusiasm, etc. The other big ones run meta hangers, but it's not realistic for free players to keep up anymore and have the same hanger. If i do watch it, then it's purely for informational value, or for entertainment. The ones who run one time builds, they're not gonna run it at the same level of someone who's been running it for a year now. If you want to watch someone run hovers or falcons or ravens or any other non meta bot, then it's gonna be found in the smaller niche utubers.

I respectfully disagree with your second statement; I don’t need to use it, nor the Ao Jun, to see that they are destroying this game. I have in-game resources to acquire each of them twice over. My self-imposed boycott of the extreme OP has most likely started the end for me, and I know that’s my own deal. Maybe they’ll get Arena right this next time with some good Dom or BR action.

I've only seen a few of his videos, but I know that he complained about active modules being "pay to win" or that the Loki should not benefit from "unlimited stealth." This from the person who can do anything he wants with his hacked account.
Oh, and notice that Pixonic didn't take his advice. Why am I not surprised.
