The trajectory of exponential robot abilities has led me to the conclusion that the next bot that comes out will have the ability: Sudden death. Upon activation all enemy robots within 1100m will instantly die, in addition one random bot from enemy hangars will also die. Cooldown time: 8 seconds.
I mean why even bother with all this running around shooting at each other nonsense?

Sudden death as the next meta has been talked about forever. I think people forget that we already have had instant death in the form of Orkan Spectre, 1/2 HP in an instant in the form of Trebs, Shocktrains and Ballista.
I won't tell people how they should play their game, but if I get the chance to get a Scorpion and/or Hawk, I'm taking it! I already know which bots I will shelve in favour of them.

I already said I was out.. I mean, I could swap something out, but I've built so much, I am maxed out in that regard.
My only changes would be the 5th Titan. Maybe some nuclear family weapons as I obtain free stuff but it's not like dire or anything,

I’m hoarding Ag and Au right now. If/when something FUN and compelling comes along, I might build ONE.

The scorpion and hawk are just the latest diseased content, I mean featured content, designed to move the game along. Totally agree that it’s meta-changing and overpowered.
I expect the “cures” to come around by the Hong Bo event in ‘21 in the form of newer content. Maybe sooner at this rate.
By then there will be 80 to 50 thousand players left to gouge for money. SNAFU

There's definitely some logic to saving and waiting. Basically skip a cycle of bot releases. And maybe save your components. It's more than likely the next bot release after the one you skipped will be able to counter the previous bots and many other recent bot releases.

I've given up on newer bots a long time ago. The only bot I've maxed and put into rotation right away was my Phantom. I'll collect any bots I win and get to them eventually, but I'll never be able to keep up with the ever-changing META. I'll be happy to accept a Scorpion or Hawk, but they won't be used until I complete the upgrades of my current hangar and the other bots I imagine to be fun.

Folks come and gather for a free glimpse into Schrotter’s crystal ball ?:
Those bots will certainly define the meta.
Hawk is the new Ao Jun, except it’ll make the Ao Jun look like a lame old chicken in comparison.
And to provide extra incentive for proud or clingy Ao Jun owners to finally move on, Pixonic has designed the Scorpion to be the final nail in Ao Jun’s coffin.
Call it a hard counter: teleport behind an Ao Jun after it landed, splurge the abilities, roast the bird, t-port back home. ?
And if stubborn folks still don shell out currency fast enough to get Hawk and Scorpion, because they think they can use Ravanas to dodge most of the heat, then Pixo will nerf the Ravana into the ground.
Yours truly (hoping to be wrong)

I mean why even bother with all this running around shooting at each other nonsense? It's coming at some point...many moons ago, there was talk about an air strike capability that would wipe out an area...potentially providing the blues with an x-second countdown to get out of the area before the strike. While I haven't seen or heard anything further, I can definitely see something like this getting implemented. |

The changed the teleport distance to 350 in test was 500.Now most will be able to see you before you teleport.I think this makes it a little more balanced.Hawk would be the bot to go for.

How about a Thief’s Revival button . You can Revive any bot on the field, that has died within say 30 seconds of death, including reds, and you can play him. After the game he stays in your hangar and the original player loses it. :-D. Make some people very happy or super pissed. Can be used once a battle or once a day? Lol.
