So today as I play, (4 losses, 1 win) (dropped to diamond 2 now from 1) I'm starting to hold back bots when the odd get long.
I want to play to be cool, but when I've sacrificed beacons runner to get outside beacons and i pull 3 reds, i find it hard to understand why the other 5 guys on my team couldnt take center (yam).
So i fielded one bot, got blown to bits by some trebs. I'm trying to drop shield and run away. I'm not sure I'm seeing much success with that strat.
Anyways, i decided the match was gone with about 7min let. I didnt drop any more bots. I figured these guys are mornons and just watched them continue to fail.
Definition of failure: going to center beacon one at a time when they can clearly see center is covered by a TT carny on each side, wide angle and a ttfury center angle.
I laughed as they would rush up the ramp, meet the ancelot holding center and would promptly get 7 trident volleys to the face and explode.
I felt vindicated by their stupidity.
Anyway, do you guys do the same or would you keep fielding bots till the end?

You don't think this is different? Why the sour note? You don't have to comment if you don't want to contribute.

Lead by example, show them how to flank / use cover.

Anyway, do you guys do the same or would you keep fielding bots till the end? I'll give this a response bc I love a good 'beacon runner' discussion. The reason your team couldn't take center when u raced off to the side was bc they were 1 bot down on the battlefield. While u were doing your little ballet dancing up the side to take a beacon that would easily b taken back by any respawning red (read: it takes red NO effort to retake that beacon, whereas you just spent a whole bot on it) your teammates were valiantly pounding the ancilot that, once removed, will have been the only immediate threat present b4 taking center, and taking it for good bc AS U SAID the reds had 3 snipers(too many)!!! It should have been easy... But your team was down a bot bc u were playing billy Madison w ur stalker and complaining about how beacon runners don't get enough props... Meanwhile you're saying your interpretation of the battlefield is that slow long rangers and an ancilot were the dominating forces on the battlefield. Wow. Think about what you're saying right now. Don't quit the match. See what else pops up in play, and at the end compare your hangars and try to learn something. My response is NEVER tank, NEVER leave, NEVER waste the time of fellow blues who might actually enjoy playing out the match without having your judgment cast on them they rnt good enough for u.

Ok, that is a fair response. I should say I grabbed that beacon in the first minute of play. The ancelot wasn't in play at that time, neither were the TTBots near their positions. I ran a gareth, my team started with 2 other stalkers. i think the stalkers should have been able to grab side and the other stealth and grab center. I don't know what happened while I was gone but I did pull 3 of their guys after me. So it was only 3 people they had to contended with, and the the fury is slow, the Carney's on the other hand may have suppressed on the way. Dunno.
Does that change anything for you?

I run all my bots even in a sure loss --- like when you get those 4-vs-6 matches right at the start.
Even in a blowout, I want to get the most silver I can and finish the highest ranking I can in the squad so that at the least I don't lose as many league points on that loss.
I will say that I throw in the towel in obvious blowouts and I'll target the squishiiest or most damaged reds I can hit, as it's just about silver and team placement --- nothing else.

I see. I'm sort of hamstrung ATM with a Brit bot hangar. Everything else is too low to be effective. I cant do much damage to try to generate silver so I figure the lack of repair bills is silver in the bank.
Playing tonight I have 1 win, 8 losses. I'm getting tanked but I'm not tanking. I hope that makes sense.

It's hard to say
There's one game yesterday when I lost 4 bots in the blink of eye and team mates aren't exactly capping...but on my 5th bot everything fell into place and we practically mech them out and capped all beacons. Result win.
Then there are other matches when we led by a lot, only to lose in the blink of eye when reds switch into their awesome bots.
When to throw...hell, I wouldn't know Who would know?

I don't keep good track of how many bots have been lost by either side, and there's no way to know in the match who's playing with 3 or 4 slot hangars. Often the game takes a radical turn in the last minutes as one team gets down one player, then another. I always play to the end. Sometimes don't feel like it, but giving up is lame. You should already be committed to a 10 minute match before hitting the Battle button.

Since there are probably tankers on this thread, and I love to thwart tankers brains: it occurred to me there r so many out there in different forms, that a lot of times when u r trying to ditch to increase your win %, u didn't realize a red was going to do the same thing, or was just dropping and sitting the game. The inflation of your currency from tanking is not as much as u think it is. You're wasting your time way more than u think. It's a much better use of your time to just play out every match for max fun per your lifetime. None of this 'I'm going to f my team who's trying to have fun just to get me some in-game currency. My life is so plush' I hate you. But I get it. You're lazy. Edit: OK sorry I really need to say I don't mean I hate op, I was saying I hate the hypothetically present tankers

Fair enough, you want an honest contribution. I just read through 7 pages of your posts. This is what I got from them. You are in diamond league, your Brit bots suck ATM, you hate missiles. You spent 2,400.00 in 20 minutes. You hate missiles. You are level 30. You hate Griffins that can jump and fire missiles or rockets. You have been playing a long time and your not fond of Carnages with Zeus or Tridents and not fond of Fury's equipped with Tridents, you can't reach your opponents to do damage, because of missiles.
Your statements in this thread are more of a confession. You don't care about the other people in the game, you like to lose more than win and you know how to quit.
And there were even some some posts about how you did well.
Edit: What do I do. I play till the game is over. I don't quit.

I don't quit, regardless of odds. Not for everyone, but it works (Or doesn't) for me.

I don't quit. Some of the best fun I have had is a frenetic 3 vs 6. Obvious losses can turn into wins. Good time to try out new tactics.

I don't usually quit. If I'm sure we're going to lose I still try to get as much damage in and get silver. Besides, if I do quit and come last in damage, the new MM will penalize me severest.

Wow, you guys are a bunch of A holes. F U Last warning. You have a tendency to get touchy whenever folks don't agree with you. Insults are not ok, especially why repeated. This game has a rock, paper, scissors style for setups. Everything can beat everything else. If you choose to only play one particular way instead of being versatile and smart in how you play, you cannot blame anyone else but yourself for that. It is tiring coming in to mod your threads because half the time there are already threads asking and answering the questions you pose at the end of your long rants. Finally, if you just hold back and watch them get slaughtered, they will never learn what they are doing wrong. Even in losing battles I have learned so much by watching seasoned players do things I never thought of. If you are as half as good as you say you are, you would be helping teach others. But you seem to be more content to just gripe. On that note, I suggest posting your hangar so that we can get a better understanding of how you play.

I remember his hangar was full of all-plasma britbots. 4 shots: 2x Plasma Galahads, 1x Plasma Gareth and 1x Thunder Taran Lancelot.

This. Over and over again, this. My personal variant, with the old infamous city-farm spawn in Springfield, I run to farm (which, imo was the only winning strategy for that setup), hold up 3 reds for over 2 minutes... the rest of the team mates are looking from the balcony, exchanging midrange shots with the one or two red defenders there, not even trying to get central beacon with a 4 to 1 or 2 to 1 superiority. Every. Single.Time. That said, I don't quit games, I rant on here or line or clan's chat
