Anyone else finds this game extremely boring now? Every game goes:
1) Decent match for beacons with good give and take 2) Some P2W deploys maxed Titan 3) Then next one does
3) Spend next 5-6 mins shooting Titans pointlessly
The entire strategy dynamic of this game has been completely wiped out. Even with the constant meta changes from the dash bots till today, there was some form of counter - be it a different bot or weapon load out. The only counter to a leveled Titan is another leveled Titan standing there shooting each other like morons. Throw in the random Nerfinggale to hold/capture beacons and annoy everyone - BOOM, fantastic game play! |

I'm not going to pay for a maxed titan, I'll get there slowly. If I lose all the time until I drop down to where the titans aren't then so be it.

That will even remove the fun few minutes of play before the shiny toys come out.... |

Yep, I'm tired and bored of this Titan domination. I feel useless every time people start to drop their Titans. Everything is Titans. Why not call the game War Titans?      (Disclaimer: These pictures are used as a reference and not to ashame or mock any player) |

Yep, hiding out behind some rocks and shooting my pew pew weapons at a Titan 600m away and feeling excited when their health bar drops by .5% each time. Make one mistake and reveal one portion of my bot to be instantly disintegrated in 2 seconds. |

Maxed plasma Mings certainly dominate. But maxed hangers have always been around, "average" Mings can be brought down pretty easy though.
With a bit of teamwork you can flank an Arthur.
The Kid is just like the old Ancilot. A big bullet magnet.
I think longer range weapons on stealthed bots is a good counter, maybe I should put the Goons on my Ao Jun

Titans are too P2W. They are sucking out the remotest hint of balance.

Nope, don't do it. I have a 2.12 Dragoon Bully with Master Gunsmith and 3 normal reactors to maximize damage. Decent against a Kid and beginner AMs but Arthurs or leveled AMs ... fuggedaboutit. DPM is just too low.

I have had success against non-maxed isolated AM with my Viper Bulwark (1.11), keeping an eye on my shield and using cover to get to 450m. Teamwork helps a lot. Multiple Fortifiers too. Against maxed AM or multiple AM shooting from different directions, now that's another story. |

titans are not able to be deployed until the last 2-3 min into the end of games. What actually happening is a horde of maxed out AMs obliterating others 2-3 min into the game. This must stop. I am not against the titans, but Pix definitely needs some adjustments.

Ehhh, yeah, no, yeah, no.
While I admit I can get tired of Titan heavy gameplay, I don't exactly end up in a Titan so much that I don't play my hangars. I do enjoy playing the different Titans but I don't think they win games all the time like people make it out to be.
Yeah, max Ming is something else. But IDK how many 「fluffernutter」ing times I have said this, there are ways to stop them and I find it funny as 「dookie」 that it always works.

get Rid of AM and Noodles or make all weapons for Titans 500m and only deployable after 6min an game is Ok again.

The end titans are almost a mercy: by the time they come out, the invincible phantom parade has already cleared 8-15 blue bots from the match and secured all the beacons. Titans are the cleaning crew.

I would like it each team could only have 1 titan out at a time. Someone else is in theirs? Too bad, drop a different bot or wait until they die.

I find it interesting to watch. All the players with the big slow old bots from Walking War Robots felt the same about dashing war robots and stealth war robots. The new bots were way more powerful and made their bots useless. Now I sit back and watch the players of the dashing and stealth bots complain about big lumbering slow bots making their bots useless. Its sort of a poetic justice.

When I hear that Titan spawning sound it’s like my Mom saying ‘ok, fun time is over...

Last week I was playing on Yam and the reds had center. They also had an Ao Ming hovering about 500 meters off to one side picking off anyone who tried to push center.
I see a friendly Ao Ming spawn and head straight for him. This player is no hovering camper. He so aggressively pursues the red Ao Ming that he's forced to back off and the rest of us storm center.
I wish I got his name. Good work, rando teammate!

Glad to hear you and your team pushed and took center. You are the ones I would buy a beer. |

Glad to hear you and your team pushed and took center. You are the ones I would buy a beer. And I would take that beer! I like to see agressive Ao Ming players. All too many of them (on my team) turn into spawn campers using their range to get kills but otherwise having no effect on the outcome of the game. |

I know, I have a friend who just got his going and I am having to push him to sit on beacons when needed and to push up so we can hold or get beacons. Sitting at 600 meters with a bunch of others AM will either ensure a win OR a loss. Myself I want those beacons more than damage as beacons equal wins more than mechouts in my book. |

I think they have OUT-ACCESSORIZED the strategy element and OUT-MONETIZED the fun. Seriously, can you get an account like this one that I just faced without spending a ton of cash?  |

Just curious. How many times have you played up to Titan deployment and found yourself swarmed by Plasma Mings with only baby Kids and a couple of Arthurs on your side. Seems like more the RULE than the exception these days.
