Great. The weapon hardpoints look low so it can hit Stealth bots easily. Personally I think he should have a crotch cannon

With all due respect, I'm not pleased either but what else is new? I intend to carefully pick and choose my bots to level. The paint isn't even dry on the Ravana and they are thinking of releasing Scorpion. I think I'll choose to work-up a Scorpion OR Ravana. Not both. And not a silly-butt 5-pack of anything.

Like I said somewhere else. Ravana is rent-a-meta. It’s only nuts if you sniff tony Montana’s stash. Just like the invader. Everyone briefly used it, then said screw it ares and. Then Jun are better since they don’t take a pile of blow to use.

Pixonic really loves printing money because they keep releasing meta as fast as possible.
Ravana =$$$ Ivory Ravana =$$$ Nodens + Cyclone =$$$ Blitz new pilot (AKA Mini-Leech) =$$$ Scorpion = $$$
And just for curiosity I was checking some Hangars in the Legends league and I'm not surprised, Whale hangars at its best. People with 3-4 Ravanas. Nodens included.

Worst ?fluffernutter?ing idea ever.
The game is officially dead.
On that note, good riddance. It was getting worse and worse and worse.
I'm out of the grind hell, I may log in to 「fluffernutter」 around but I'm not shuffling my feet anymore.
5 「fluffernutter」ing years.

This will be the end for me. I run Ag bots. Out positioning the reds, better use of cover and highly disciplined gameplay are how I make that work against magic. If the bot can just teleport behind me then none of this matters. If I win one I will just make a game out of removing AJs from the this game between playing BoT. I got a lot of butthurt from you ?dookie?birds I intend to pay back in double. It was hard enough to use old bots against the fast Phantom and Ao Jun. This will be BS.
Tanky bots will do well though IMO. Fenrir, Lance, Raijin. The same bots that don't give a damn about Ravana dancing around them.

The other day I decided to run Tank bots just for fun but nope, I had to cancel this idea because Phantoms melts my Rhino, Lancelot and Fenrir like pudin. Some robots doesn't have a chance against super ridiculous fast robots. Leaving the Hate and BS behind is really heartbreaking not being able to run favorite or fun bots anymore because of this.

I been wanting to quit this game for 3 years but my stupid brain keeps thinking "things will get better, things will get better.." Also if I quit by the time I decided to return I know I'll be completed behind and if I quit I'll stop making resources that could use if I ever return. If you try anything and you truly believe that you can't enjoy this 「dookie」storm of game anymore then, you have the right to quit.

Why stop there. Imagine 3 of these things pick a target, teleport at him together, lay waste to it before its teammates can help and then teleport back. Then once cooldown is back, they teleport to another guy who's slightly alone, kill him and then teleport back together all holding hands. Rinse repeat. A Squad full of these things can decide to 5v1 anyone at basically any time. If this thing gets released on the live server, I'm staying the hell away from the higher leagues. Skilled gameplay my ?bum-bum?. Just watch Ao Jun play. It’s the same thing At least with Ao Jun you can stay behind cover and dodge them to a certain extent. But with this thing...

I just saw some scorpion test server action and I'm glad I didn't spend like $76 buying the leach and ao jun from the bargain basement. Those bots are going to get mugged when their ability wears off.

I must admit that this is what I am struggling with atm. It almost looks like deliberate tanking the ease with which they evaporate now. My tenure is looking very short in this iteration.

Currently for reference, you can use the nightingale cryo when it lands after you’ve been suppressed. This will be worse. But can’t you eat that while doin nothing until it leaves? I doubt it.

This is why I no longer take anything seriously and just try to enjoy the game now, for as long as I continue playing it, rolling with the punches.
People could have spent a year or more painstakingly and patiently building a solid hangar, trusting it'd turn out well, just to run into 2.12 Phantoms, Leeches, Ravanas and Maxed Plasma Ao Mings.
And Server Lag + Glitches. I bought into this game before the lag and serious targeting glitches, and I might only playing it because of how much I invested. I can often have the map freeze up for a few seconds then people are in new locations and I can go from full health to suddenly being on Last Stand / Dead for no reason.
I guess almost everyone in War Robots is enduring stuff, not just us. Some players don't have anywhere near the skill levels of others and still keep on enjoying the game.

I might as well forget about running any of my other hangars for a while and go back to the Ag hangar from here on out. At least with it EVERYTHING is OP and strange and you're always at an enormous disadvantage. In a weird way everything is fine and balanced then "oh you're running strange new OP thing #368" "Oh ok I'll just keep doing what I was doing then" Still: DELETE SCORPION FROM GAME RIGHT NOW WHAT ARE TOU THINKING PIXSUCKIT THE SCORPOOP IS CLEARLY OP AND SHOULD NOT BE IN THE GAME WHY DO YOU WANT A TELEPORT BOT THAT CAN TELEPORT BEHIND OTHER BOTS IN THE GAME HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FAIR MY AO JUN CAN NOW JUST BE KILLED BY THE NEW BOT AT A PRESS OF A BUTTON WITH NO SKILL AT LEAST MY BLO JUNB NEEDED SKILL TO PRESS THE BUTTON AND ACTUALLY WAIT TO KILL A LEO WHY WHY WHY PIXONIX DID YOU MAKE THIS NEW BOT THAT KILLS MY AO JUN BUT I WANT ONE HOW DO I GET ONE? ?

The main problem with this mech is the range of its ability, which has two aspects:
- The distance they can travel
- Proximity of materialization
DISTANCE If we consider a variety of scenarios with the ability limited to 300m, while it is still difficult to deal with, you could at least more easily move to the location they returned to in order to engage them. When itâs 500m, thatâs just 「fluffernutter」ing stupid = sit behind cover, wait for enemy to slightly enter range, blink to point blank, fire, return to cover WAY out of range for that opponent to reach you. Theoretically this means weapons 500m or more might be more useful, but even then youâd have to rely on the Scorpion leaving its cover to move to a new location.
PROXIMITY This aspect of the ability, dare I say, seems to be designed to make more relevant all the work we did to build shotguns. That is a good thing. Nonetheless, the issue is the Scorpions ability to vanish instantly. The solution would be to give the ability to vanish a decent cooldown that delays their ability to vanish.
It has remarked that the Scorpion will be a good titan killer. It may do okay finishing off weakened Titans or for assisting in their gradual degradation, particularly the Ming or Nodens, but materializing at point blank against an Arthur or Kid will not turn out well if the player doesnât time it for after the Stove or Blastwave was just used.
In general, the best counters against a sneak attack will be:
- Stacked durability - Damage resistance - Phase Shift - Transcendence (Ravana ability) - Dash abilities for sudden evasion - Advanced Repair Unit
My opinion is that the ability range is too far, and it needs a delay deficit on its ability to return to the translocator. However, if it does come out as is, I believe we will find a way to beat them solo and in squad. It is always like this.

Just make it so that when the ability is activated it gets an ares shield, corrosive damage, increased weapon damage, healing, stealth, supression, and invincibility, and then I think it will be balanced.

Once we figure out how it works exactly, there will be a play book on how to counter it. I made a mk2 maxed Phantom and currently it is collecting dust in one of my depot hangars. I am still running a Mercury and enjoy how he can kill at will still. Most of my Melee bots have anti-control on them and Last Stand is a requirement if you want to survive in the Champions League so we got one module to play with. OK I went on a tangent with this last paragraph. Umm 15 seconds of 90% resistance, with ONLY a 15 second refresh!!! there is no "counter" outside of titan leveled up titan weapons to get through that DR. on top of resistance, its ability to teleport back to safety AND A built in weapon... this seems way way way too OP... Mannie called this out during testing, but seems they dont really take test server feedback into consideration. leech... 10 second duration of 90% reduction, 18 second recharge. Ao Jun... stealth, just stealth with build in weapon... ONLY 8 second duration, AND 22 second recharge. these are moreso balanced for what they can do... but this scorpion is going to be an ridiculous. I do not look forward to seeing these in action, i can already tell it will induce a community wide groan. EDIT: didnt mean to bump old thread, was just searching Scorpion threads and didnt notice last post date... but basically because the bot is about to go live, the game update today means it is primed to start with new event. UGH
