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!!"

Apparently, not only do they track leavers but they have an algorithm that penalizes them by dropping them into higher rank play - which sucks for all the higher rank players because most of the time they leave again anyway. It is beyond frustrating.

Yesterday, I played a match on ShenZhen where I capped a side beacon and was going to cap center. I looked and the enemy team was in my spawn. On Beacon Rush. And somehow we lost that side beacon...

This is why Shenzhen is my least favorite map. I push whatever side I spawn closer to, often with no backup. I respawn to find: a) Everyone camped at home (but somehow home beacon is red) OR b) Absolutely everyone has pushed the other side and capped that beacon but the other 4 are lost. If I could select one map to never spawn in I would choose Shenzhen.

Shenzhen I always jump invader to center beacon and march straight to enemy spawn. Getting enemy to respawn at their home takes tremendous pressure of team mates trying to cap side beacons. I don’t need to win the fight... just need to get one or two to spawn at home instead of rejoining a battle on the wings. pressure on enemy home on any map really helps.

Nice plan but it only works if you have teammates who actually push beacons.

I swear I'm the only person who actually wants to cap the side beacon, let alone the center beacon I understand the reluctance to go out in center on Shenzhen. I don't try for it until later. IMO the way to start is thrée guys go to the left and three go to the right. Not five guys go the left and me all alonse on the right

So the latest skirmish - evenly matched hangars, so games should in theory be somewhat competitive. Except they aren’t. Because my teammates are complete and utter MORONS. 1 minute into the game and we’re down 4 beacons to 1, every game this morning. How do players get to Master and Champion level and not know what a ?fluffernutter?ing beacon is???!!!?! And it’s not that they’?re blowing through their hangars just to get ad credits, because they’re racking up damage. The next biggest problem with this game after Pixonic itself is the supremely stupid people playing it.

I’ve been seeing a lot more Silver, Gold, and Diamond players in Skirmish lately so it could very well just be a skill and experience thing, at least in Skirmish mode.

On Moon today and some idiot Phantom comes and stands on home beacon where im already standing with a red Loki trying to stop him turning it red. (the beacons white). What blue idiot Phantom should of done were go to home beacon 2 which was ...wait for it ...red, with no enemy about. Guess what? the beacon under the bridge was red too and again just itching for a idiot Phantom to go turn it. I try to alert him, few seconds later decided I must do it myself. As the beacon goes blue I turn around to see home deacon turned red by red Loki and Idiot Phantom standing next to me...??
