Not sure if it was a coincidence but this happened in 2 consecutive battles in Shenzhen. Each time a blue stalker (different player name for the 2 matches) stayed at spawn and just kept blocking and pushing other heavies including mine and it was frustrating as hell.
Is there a protest against Pixonic that I not aware of, or just happened that in 2 matches 2 different dudes decided to mess up my morning Walking War Robots routine.

If it was a 'Tasha with sniping weapons or zens, then I am not surprised. Lots of angst against "campers" and I have seen pilots push an arty bot 300 m or more to put them in the line of fire... (o.O')

 These guys started the round doing that. The gep kept trying to push this guy forward to the edge. Took off to fight and they were still going at it when I Respawned. |

Like the above posters said, you are very likely to get pushed around if you use a camping bot. I personally loved pushing Zenit Noricum Natashas off camping platforms, and that was if another teammate didn't push the fool off first. I mainly did it for the lulz, but it was actually helping my team because the campers usually had a better bot in their hangar that they spawned in when they died. This went on until they changed the physics to prevent small bots from moving larger ones.

Only done it once pushing a zenit natasha over the cliff in Yamantau.
Actually got pushed into the air by a jumping griffin at spawn yesterday. Using a mini DB patton.

Was blocked on 2 lancelots and Trident Fury on Shenzhen... as much as I hate red trident furies they are very effective on shenzhen for countering them. The 2 stalkers were literally on 0 dmg at end of the battles. Troll face on I guess. I also find it stupid that a stalker can outpush these heavies... ugh This is my hangar:  |

Don't be so quick to blame the heavies, sometimes the light bot players are simply being idiots.
At the start they should have better things to do than hang around like, oh I dunno, getting Beacons!?!
I've bounced off a few heavies when respawning if they are contributing little and we need to push forward, but this blocking and pushing at start is counterproductive.
If I see no one following me at spawn I pause, turn and shoot at them, before continuing. I've even been known to turn back and circle them before moving on. A few seconds is enough but I've seen a Quad Mag Patton blocking and shooting a Sniper Nat for over 5 minutes actually preventing it from reaching a shooting position. Pointless.

Was probably me, I annoy the hell out of campers for the sake of getting them to eject or just leave.

It IS pointless... a little venting is one thing, but devoting the battle to being a Richard is worse than camping.

I've pushed/shot/annoyed campers after if was clear we'd lose because they wouldn't/couldn't cap a beacon and their zenit/noricums are useless. I've never started out the game doing it though.

I'd consider that venting. And understandable. Those are the ones I wish I could inflict blue on blue fire upon. |

Between your post and mine I almost edited to add team killing may not be a horrible thing. Especially if the community was responsible with it. That is probably asking too much... |

If you are venting on useless campers I do agree. But as mentioned in my case it was a serious waste of time blocking my non camping bots and just trolling our team.

Absolutely I do that. I die, respawn, start forward. When I see two or more camper/snipers (specifically in a Yamantau ledge) I do my best to push one off as I'm heading out to the real fight. I freely admit it. Had three in the ledge and one on the uncovered bridge a few days ago. Made me wish I had a heavy in my hanger for the added pushing weight, but I didn't want to waste to much time in a game we were likely to lose because of them, anyway.

Doh, campers lose games. Games have been lost becaues one side has more treb, zenit or kwk users than the other. Most of them are noobs, hard to blame them for wanting to survive longer, even when they jump into their knifers, they tend to die fast becaues they are just that bad at the game. Last game, I saw a nori bot jump into his plasma Griffin. I thought he was going to show us something, nope, straight into 3 enemies and died. I just played 8 games, lost 6 in a row, my side has way too many treb kwk zenit nori noobs. And this is in high silver. I'm a little frustrated but still okay with it, at least I can pad my average damage.

yeah... what he was talking about, apparently, wasn't camping... just spawning. Sounds like an 8 yo was in the stalker and learned he could push, so was doing it everywhere to everyone. That would tick me off too.

That would tick me off too. Thanks for backing me up. Most of the posts here seem to miss the point. I'm ranting abt 2 different stalkers in a row just camping at spawn trolling a few of us. They are not even pushing campers. I even posted my hangar to show my setup which is mainly knife fighters. I can tell saltesers is just trolling me but the rest just simply missed the point. |

Probably just trolls, is it still happening? I know I would cry tears of happiness to see a trident fury on my team. I have seen a zenit fury before.

NP, it looked like I may have started that with my first post, before you posted your hanger. Looks like you are a bit passed the "I'll save the world with my Zenits of Fury!" stage of War Robots...  |
