I've always said Pix keeps a list of campers, beacon ignoramouses and general dopes so they can give them to us as teammates when our win percentage gets too high.
For the last week or so I have several games per day where I say to myself - "Ok I know I'm having a terrible game here but why are we five capped already? Nobody picked up a single beacon?"
These are not games against squads who are spawn raiding us. Just randos who seem to know how to play the game.
Very infuriating. I die trying to push a beacon and when I go to respawn it's like "Okay, we have ... nothing? Damn!!"

P2W means there’s fewer and fewer good players. Just accept that the game is trashed and find fun where you can if you can.

Look on the bright side...the harder you have to carry, the greater your rewards after losing!
Maybe that sucks, but it is true.......

Feel your pain, lf you like to push for center and cap beacons they will stick you with campers In one particular game (ship map) i sacrificed my phantom pushing for center and no one in my team was helping me , so i took out my tfalcon and took their home beacon i fought 4 of them in the tunnel for 3 minutes wile holding their becon ,and 5 of my guys couldnt get center from 2 guys!! After i got killed i re spawn with my leech to find them all hiding lol.

I know with the present BS it's kinda smart to seek cover. But, come on. Really frustrating to be mech'd out, we lose all five beacons, and the three players left spawn 3 more bots each. And not even 1 beacon retaken.

I see playing War Robots these days as the last days of resistance in the face of an overwhelming alien invasion. It really helps me to enjoy being virtually unimportant in the larger scheme of whether my team wins or loses any particular match.

Depending on the map, I start with Strider, cap home, cap side and b-line for center. Yep I'm that guy. Why? Too many times I b-lined for center and get zero help and get smashed by 3 maxed last stand reds and get obliterated. I look at beacons for respawn expecting to at least start at side beacon and its white. I go by the process that I cap 2 beacons almost instantly and start the beacon timer against reds while I then join in the center beacon battle.
If the map is different, then I cap home and make sure I am first to center. I watch the reds to see what they throw at center. Im ok taking on 2 non-maxed last stand reds, but 3 maxxed reds and I then divert and play support to pick them off. Depends on the map. Sometimes I drop Phantom first. Either way there is always one idiot that plays BR and his first drop is some slow useless bot that doesn't even cap a beacon all game.

I think Pix definitely saddles you with crappy teammates when your win rate gets too high (along with giving you tougher opponents).
I’ve had many games recently with teammates scoring well under 500,000 damage, sometimes even less than 100,000.
Have also had many recent matches where I’m capping beacons and killing reds nonstop, we’re up on beacons and I’m thinking “we got this easy!” only to have the rest of my team mech out while I’m still in my second or third bot. Yesterday I had a match where I killed 13, capped 11 beacons and somehow still lost. The red team wasn’t very good. But my teammates were somehow worse.

Or was it that the other team had better TITANS. I've had so many same types of games. Only to watch it turn into a loss once the red Titans hit the field.

Yes, I’ve certainly had this happen as well. It’s especially frustrating when you’re beating a team with better gear and they say screw this and drop their maxed plasma Mings— game over.

My #1 gripe in the game. Literally just had this happen a minute ago. Guy didnât even have highly leveled bots, they were only lvl 7-9, but he drops his lvl 111 Ming a couple minutes in and wipes out our team. 17 kills, no beacons. I guess Pix is forcing the regular bots into obsolescence so weâre forced to play with boring-「bum-bum」 Titans. Yay.

My #1 gripe in the game. For what it’s worth, while I’m building a Ming like that I target other Titans first. I only go after normal bots to defend myself. I don’t get a sense of victory when I’m in my Ming with lvl 19 weapons blasting away bots that can’t do anything. I have those to blast the Mings trying to cap MY teammates who can’t shoot them down. Just one fella’s opinion...

Even with a 102 Kid with maxed weps / premium modules, I rarely run it as I hate Titan gameplay that much. As a rando, I just get my beacons/kills/heal some folks before the second half of the match starts. Next.

I've always said Pix keeps a list of campers, beacon ignoramouses and general dopes so they can give them to us as teammates when our win percentage gets too high. For the last week or so I have several games per day where I say to myself - "Ok I know I'm having a terrible game here but why are we five capped already? Nobody picked up a single beacon?" These are not games against squads who are spawn raiding us. Just randos who seem to know how to play the game. Very infuriating. I die trying to push a beacon and when I go to respawn it's like "Okay, we have ... nothing? Damn!!" You mean like when you’re in Dead City, you take the home beacon, and you try to advance on the one near the slumped house, and the ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM IS THERE and you fight like a MANIAC, using all your weapons, and skills, and armor, and you fight like you never fought before and 60-90 seconds later you are defeated! And you look on the map, and your teammates have been looking for butterflies...and you are down 4 bacons -1.

I don't care anymore, I join them for tea and crumpets.

I checked my teammates and saw a Griffin. He turned around and jumped away from center toward the mountains.

You will be happily defending centre, turn round and four people have just spawned in at the same beacon. "Yeah, thanks guys, I'll kill this bot and get smashed at the beacon you just abandoned then". It's like hearing cats some days.

My biggest peeve is knuckle heads that burn their robot’s ability to rush to the first beacon and then stand behind the last vestige of cover waiting to recharge while they watch the opposing team cap the center beacon. My poor invader ends up a pile of bolts while my team watches. WALK to battle folks unless you are rushing center beacon.
