So. Deathsquading TDM is now a thing

Thanks for the link. Aware of clubbing in squads. But, wasn't aware that it was done in TDM. I use TDM to give my lesser bot pilots some experience. Yesterday was the first time-multiple times.

I've a seen a few live-streaming LL clans hit the random battle button too... so it's not always looking for TDM, just variety.

Stuff like this def made me perk my ears up at the comment from that dude on FB that said somthing about a whole other league for Legends... not sure if that will help a whole lot but damn they need to do SOMETHING to preserve enough playability in the long run.

When I was in Masters League, no worries, mostly great games, even when the MM was being a lil 「female dog」. But now that I'm in Champions League I am seeing more and more straight up steamrolls. And while I can still find some fun... it's not enough to make me turn on a booster and play 3 or 4 games in a row, anymore, at least on most days.

I know me and my guys will sometimes drop into TDM when we are running AG boosters and are silver farming. For the most part we do Dom and BR though..

Not surprised. MOM used to be a tanker clan. Maybe still partially is, idk. Seems like some of them have allowed themselves to move past Expert League finally. But back when I was in EL you'd see them all the time running in a pack with absurd gear levels and just seal clubbing everyone.

I've seen high-ranked squads in TDM a bunch. Generally I think squads select it only when BR and Dom aren't giving them any wins, but I have a clanmate who really enjoys playing it and when we do, we do run into S clan squads. So that's always been a thing.

I still think that Pixonic should restrict squad game mode choices by clan rank. S & A clans could only select BR, B & C could only do BR and Dom, and TDM would only be available for D or below. Dedicated squad players are the big drivers of spending and amount of time played. The fact that it's so hard for most players to enjoy squad matches and have any chance of winning is really Pixo shooting themselves in the foot on this. Given their profits margins, I don't actually care about that, but the frustration it causes regular players I do care about. A lot of people would like to squad and they just can't without getting stomped. The duo workaround seems to have made things a bit better on that front but not much and it's a pretty lame attempt at a solution.

I had not thought about that, but you are right. Usually it is Android death squads I have seen. Not sure when I saw an iOS death squad last.

That was my take on it. Especially with my lesser hanger of bots. Can't dominate, but can give some a heart attack from doing the unusual in TDM-attacking. Isn't my fav, but my pilots need experience to level. And getting stomped all over in Dom or BR doesn't get much as far as experience.
But, I/we were being over run by full or almost full squads.

So I can change my comment to "MOM is a total tanker clan." Great to see they're still classing up the place (? ~ ?)

Nice job still clawing out the win tho.
